VERY DRASTIC LAWS
Passed Against Irish Catholics by Puri
tan Parliament.

The persecution carried on by the
Puritan Parliament and the regicide,
oliver Cromwell, against the Catholics
of Ireland has scarcely a parallel in
the history of the Church. No SOON
err had the Puritan faction become pre-
dominant in England, having dethroned
Charles l., and imbrued their hands
with his blood, than they resolved on
the utter determination of the Irish
people, and they did not hesitate to
declare that thus alone could Catlt-
olicity be rooted out from Ireland.
In fact, the extel mination of the
Irish Catholics became a leading fea-
Parliamentary Party" writes Lord
Clarendon, had grouched their own
authority and strength upon such
foundations as were inconsistent with
any liberation of the Roman Catholic
religion, and even with any humanity
to the Irish nation-and more espe-
cially to those Of the old native extrac-
ton, the whole race whereof they had
upon the matter sworn to extirpate."
, DR.. John Lynch, in "Cambrensis
Eversus," corroborates this statement
of the British historian, and adds:
Three thousand Irish Puritans signed
document in which they earnestly in
sisted either that the Catholic relig-
ion should be abolished or that the
Irish race should be extirpated." And
that the Puritans 'rioted in the pro.
miscuous slaughter OF women, old men
and children; and the British auxili-
aries openly avowed thai they would
strain every nerve to extirpate, with
out mercy, the Irish race"
The contemporary author of the
"Asphorismical Discovery also states
that ut was blazed abroad by the best
note of Protestants that all Ireland by
that time twelve months must either
go to church, be executed or endure

In reply to information asked by a
lady correspondent at Braiperd, Mimi,
we beg to say that the cost from Min
neapolis to Queenstown and back is
about $3.50, if second class berth is
engaged on the ocean. There is no or
ganization of the Irish Home Going
Party in this city or st. Paul and no
reduction in rates will be made by
the ocean liners to individuals who
may join the party elsewhere, for
travel will be heavy this year. Every
tourist must buy tickets personally on
this side of the Atlantic whether go
ing alone or with the party aforesaid.
Some arrangement can be made on the
other side to travel together at re-
duced rates.

BUDGET PASSED BY LORDS.

After months Of great political ex-
citement in the United Kingdom,
Lloyd Georges budget for 19O9-1O has
passed both houses Of parliament and
Is now in operation. The bill passed
the Commons by IS majority, the Lib
erals, Laborites and Redmondites vot-
ing solidly together The O'Brienites
voted with the Tories. The Lords,
who rejected the bill last November
passed it sullenly and silently on
April %, and we presume it has since
received the royal signature of Ed
ward "by the grace of God"
No measure in many years aroused
such bitter opposition from the aris-
tocracy and privileged classes of
Great Britain than Lloyd Georges bill
1t compels the titled nobility to pay
taxes on their landed possessions for
the first time since the Norman Con-
quest The budget is revolutionary
financial measure and it's passage

the peers of the realm and their re-
tanners is q great victory for the
democracy OF the United Kingdom
But we are principally concerned with
the effect of the budget on Ireland.
How will it affect Ireland? IN
questionably it will increase the tax
alton of the country: but agricultural
lands are exempt in the bill and the
proceeds of the tax will go to local
authorities. In speech in parliament
Mr.. J. e. Redmond said:
1--WE believe that every budget which
has been passed by this House since
the Act of Union, and especially since
1853, has been an unjust budget to our
| country. Your own commission of
1895, by British majority. declared
that we were overtaxed, and since
then the taxation of Ireland has in
| creased: and, therefore, we believe that
every budget is unjust to Ireland and
that financial injustice to Ireland will
not be removed simply by tinkering
with this tax or that tax, but it will
continue until the system of govern
ment in the country Is changed, and
until the finances of Ireland are put
under the control of Ireland herself
in other words, until we get home rule.
Nationalist and ministerial cheers
With reference to this particular bud
get let me say this. that last year
the Irish party did not oppose the bud
get as whole. (Cheers.) We OPP
posed certain parts of it; and, not
withstanding the fact that the govern
ment had a large and overwhelming
majority we obtained a certain num-
Der Of most valuable concessions for
Ireland.s
The Irish standard., 1910-05-07

In our opinion the Nationalist, led
by Redmond, have acted wisely in CO.
operating with the representatives of
the democracy of England, Scotland
and Wales, who are in favor of home
rule for Ireland. The main object of
the Nationalist in parliament is to OBJ
tain self government and that cannot
be secured from the Tories under any
consideration. O'Brien and Healy and
their five followers have made the mis-
take of their lives in voting with the
Tories against the budget, and their
constituents will surely hold them re-
sponsible at the next election, which
will occur about the middle of June,
according to r. p. O'Connor in the
Chicago Tribune
The next movement against the
Lords is to deprive them of the power
of vetoing bills passed in the Com
mons. The Irish and their allies will
win in that fight The king will be
asked to lend his aid in the contest
on the abolition of the veto of the
House of Lords. What his majesty
may do is not definitely known.
Down with the Lords!" will be the
battle cry Of the Democracy in the
coming election. The dawn of free
dom from aristocratic rule in Great
Britain is breaking, and the Lords will
have to submit to the will of the peo-
pie.

CATHOLIC PRELATE
At Public Meeting Says Roosevelt
lnsuIted the Pope.

The following telegram from Lowell,
Mass, appeared in the Minneapolis
Tribune of Monday, May 2:
Theodore Roosevelts action in not
presidents recent visit to Rome was
called insulting and a violation of Mr..
Roosevelt's principle of square
deal" by Most Rev. William H. O'Con-
nell, archbishop of Boston, at pub
lie meeting of the American Fedora
ton of Catholic societies of the do
cesc, in this city yesterday John CAL
Ian OLoughlin, former assistant Sec
rotary of state, who conducted the ne
gotiations between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Vatican, was severely castigated
by the archbishop.
The archbishop's general subject
was Loyalty" In bringing up the
Vatican incident he said:
1.-THE cardinal secretary of state,
Merry del Val, when he was asked for
an audience for Mr.. Roosevelt said:
We are very happy to receive him..
The holy father would be very happy
to receive him because he has been the
head Of great nation and for whom
the holy father has every respect. He
also said:
when you communicate, that to
him please say we hope nothing will
interfere with this desire on behalf Of
the holy father and Mr.. Roosevelt of
seeing each other, as for instance this
incident which happened about the
Methodist college and Mr.. Fairbanks
The answer was ''Oh, well, can
not enter into any conditions. The au-
dience is now on That is insulting

German. All my ancestors were of
Irish blood" Good for Herbert! A

York, excoriated Hearst for publishing
forged check in his Journal and for
attacking him malciously in his off,
cial character as mayor of the Ameri-
can metropolis. He said in part:
THE press as a whole is just to
public officials. When the election is
over its wholesome wish is to see that
the one who is elected gives good gov
eminent, and to help him do so. In
that just frame of mind you often for
bear much. This is true of all honest
and unselfish publishers and editors.
But if publisher or editor be himself
perennial off1ce-seeker:: he may de-
sire to assassinate everyone whom he
thinks is in his way and then, alas,
what disgrace he brings upon jour-
nalism. A newspaper proprietor or
editor who is simply bent on cutting
threats is an awful spectacle. In no
nook or corner of his head or heart
is there the slightest sense of truth
W JNSSASS' we 4udy ply MN UuI CdI.
not in the interests of public morality
and decency remain silent about him.
Then Mayor Gaynor, amid Interrupt
lions from Hearst's minions, went on
to prove how the Journal had commit
ted deliberate forgery for the purpose
of misrepresenting him and his admin
istration, and he ended by saying:
ut is high time that these forgers
and libellers were in states prison and
the time is not far distant when some
of them will be there. And just think
of man who is capable of doing
! things like this being possessed of the
notion that he is fit to hold any office
from mayor to president of the United
States. Morally speaking, his mind
must be a bowling wilderness. Never
will the voters anywhere put such a
man into Office"
This is terrible arraignment of
any man of sensitive feelings, but
Hearst has the hide of pachyderm.
i Instead of apologizing to Mayor Gay
nor for his dastardly attack, Hearst
next day brought suits for alleged
libel against the New York Times, the
Brooklyn Eagle and the Associated
Press for publishing Mayor Gaynor's
speech in which he said that two
state prison felonies-namely, forgery
and Justification of public document
i were committed by Hearst to wrong
the mayor of the city of New York"
OF course, the newspapers in question
are not a bit inundated. No jury
will ever give a Vverdict against them
for printing such news. Let Hearst
bring an action against Mayor Gay
nor and see what damages he can OBJ
tain. H,5"'
This Hearst is a millionaire who
thinks he can terrorize public officials
and assail them with impunity in his
publications. He has caught tartar
in Mayor Gaynor., and he is lucky if
he escapes prison cell before the
intrepid chief magistrate of Gotham
is through with him. Hearst has no
sympathy from the respectable people
of the country and Mayor Gaynor has
received an additional boom for the
presidency.

general, has been knocked into a

give satisfactory explanations to the
people they are supposed to repre-

unable to get single Democrat to

road bill to which the "insurgent"

In the house the Democrats and "in-
surgents' are in battle array against
the railroad BILL and as the coalition
is in the majority the bill is doomed
and the Hepburn law will be saved.
Some kind of railroad bill may be
passed by both houses granting to the
interstate commerce commission pow
err to suspend new rates and classical

commerce for the more rapid disposal
of railroad cases may be created, but

not care whether it will pass or not,
