1t is hard to understand how any
! sovereign of any country could pos
sibly feel so opposed to the Pope and
the Catholic church that he could con-
scientiously subscribe to every clause
In so solemn and outrageously invec-
tive declaration. But, lest the SOW
ereign who must swear to the acri-
monious statements might find any
| means of evasion, the men who framed
1T have added clause upon clause to
safeguard the meaning they intended
1t should have. 1t was as it's word
ing plainly shows, written when the
religious disruption was raging in
England and, while it's words might
have some meaning for thoNe who took
it in heated enmity. it certainly can
not have any significance for those
men who may look squarely at the
whole struggle as the history of the
time presents it. However, it has re-
manned on the statute books of one
OF the greatest nations in the world
for more than two hundred years, and
that in spite of the fact that that ma
ton boasts of it's religious federation.
King Edward was opposed to TAX
Ing this declaration and it is said that
when he came to the offensive phrases
he slurred over them in such a way
that even those within hearing dis
lance could not understand his words.
At that time the advisability of alter
Ing the oath was discussed and an
| attempt was made to substitute new
declaration in it's stead. But the oath
had to be taken on the occasion of the
| opening of Parliament and time for
action in the matter was short A
new declaration was framed and en-
bodied in a bill by Lord Salisbury,
then Prime Minister. 1t failed, how
ever, as did subsequent attempts by
Earl Grey and Mr.. Redmond.
King George is strongly opposed to
the offensive oath and no doubt the
effort to remove 1t will be renewed.
Conditions have changed in England
since the oath was enacted into law
and there does not seem to be any
good reason why broad minded men,
regardless of creed, should have any
objections to abolishng it entirely. If
the will of the sovereign is not in
harmony with the sentiment it ex-
presses then swearing to the asser-
tons it contains is nothing less than
hypocritical Formally. 1t is to be
hoped that the present King of Eng
land will not be asked to take an oath
which is offensive to himself and in
sulting to his twelve million Catholic
subjects. f

Thomas King, an employee of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway,
was pinioned under a ninety-ton en-
CINE for two hours at Trenton, New
Jersey, on the night of May 10, says
the Catholic Colu1obian. The over
turning of the locomotive caused an
escape of steam which scalded the
poor man painfully. Finally he was
rescued by other railroad men who
dug out the ground from under him.
While King was held by the engine
and while the steam was scalding him,
a priest, Rev. Father Haney, of st.
Joseph's church, Trenton. risked his
own life to crawl under the upset To-
connective in order to administer
the last sacraments to the unfortu-
nate man. In the face of death our
priests never falter. Their life of

any wonder that we reverence them?
The English like to claim all men
of celebrity as Englishmen, and the

ENeLlsHMAN AND HOME RULE

6NSIt0F1mAN AND HOME RULE.
An "1rishman in England" recently
wrote the following letter to the Irish
Independent. 1t has the proper ring.
He says:
Sir-In the Irish Independent of
May End I see somewhat astonish-
ing letter signed wv. r. H. g." in
which he positively asserts the follow
ing to be matters of universal opin-
ion in England: (1) That, the Con-
servatives ARE much more likely to
give Ireland some form of Home Rule
than the Radicals; ca That Mr. Red
mond has thrown away his chances
of eliminating the land clauses from
the budget; (3) That at this crisis he
has entirely thrown away his oppor-
tunity of advancing Home Rule. q
omit several minor points which he
attributes to English public opinion.)
May l say, as an Irishman living in
England, that I do not believe any
thing he says is accurate in any re-
spect whatsoever? AS regards %,
if the Conservatives really mean to
give Ireland Home Rule, why have
they not made definite offer? BY do
ing so they might have wrecked the
budget, have introduced tariff reform,
and have saved the House Of Lords.
They hal every possible temptation
to do SO. The truth is that though
some of them would like to do so,
they dare not, in the face of their
constituents. Such an offer would ir-
retrievably split their party.
AS regards (2), have certainly not
heard this opinion expressed by any,
one I would remind my fellow coun-
trymen of a maxim laid down by one
of the greatest statesmen of the last
century, the Italian Count Cavour. He
said that an Irish leader should avoid
quarreling with both English parties
at once.
AS regards (3), if such all opinion
were prevalent it would certainly find
it's way into the press. But there is
not, as far as know, any important
English newspaper which holds that
view, whereas there are dozens Of the
contrary, opinion.
In any case, however, when you are
attacking strongly fortified position
the old rule holds good-clear away
their advanced works before assault
ing the main line. The first point on
which now to concentrate is the House
of Lords. I heard only few days
ago a Conservative M. P. say (not on
platform, but in his own family
circle), that the destruction of the
veto would make Home Rule GER
tainty.
Once that the absolute veto is gone,
the Liberals will be free to do some
thing for us Irish, without necessarily
running their heads against a brick
wall. Under the present conditions
one cannot ask or expect them to do
anything practical. But then they will
be more free, and in consequence the
Conservatives, if they wish to obtain
majority in Parliament. will be OBJ
liged to offer better terms to the Irish.
Add to this the more frequent gen.
eral elections, each of which is an op-
portunity for Ireland, and you have
the program which may be carried
gether.
