that failure hath compensations to al

Sir Wilfrid Laurier from power. For
fifteen years he was the able leader
OF the Liberal party in the Canadian
Parliament. The nobility of his char

and broad views on national questions
so fixed him in the high estimation of
his people that in the three cam

point an English prelate to the see of
Sydney: but he said, the church
in Australia was founded by Ireland's
sons and daughters, and l have made
up my mind to send great Irish

devotion to the see of Peter, the spirit
of self-sacrifice, the readiness to suf-
fer the loss of anything rather than
surrender the faith, which have char
acterized in all times the Catholic
people of Ireland, are the characteris-
tics, too, of the church in this young
commonwealth. We see these distin-
guished marks of the Irish faith in
the devotion OF the Australian people
to their priests; in the huge and he
rolc sacrifices they have made in the
cause of education, to save the chill
dren from the wolves of secularism;
in the great charitable institutions
with which they have adorned the
country, and the numerous religious
vocations of their sons and daughters.

AGAINST CONCEALED WEAPONS.

Judge Allen Kinney, presiding in
the Criminal division of the Circuit
Court, in his charge to the January
grand jury called attention to the
practice of carrying concealed and
deadly weapons. Judge Kinney said
many crimes resulted from the in
discriminate practice of carrying
concealed and deadly weapons, and
advised the grand jury to make a
dillgent research along this line.
This is a wise expression. The pub
lie Is interested in the complete
abolition of the weapon-carrying
business. A man has no right to
carry a revolver, or dirk, or any
other murderous instrument about
his person. Even in his house 1t is
a risk. The community is constantly
menaced by this reckless habit. A
firearm in n mans home to protect
IL is a greater risk than it is bene-
lit. Not one case in ten does 1t
get the advantage, and in nine cases
out of ten it brings more trouble
than It does good. And then 1t is
80 liable to abuse. There are many
trivial instances where men nave
used revolvers because they had
them, and not because they had the
righ- to use them. Then there are
the accidents. the suicides, the inno-
cen. suffering and the public peace
threatened-all demanding the rigid
regulation of the sale and carrying
of deadly weapons.

The hope of the Venetians to have

Of 1911 has not been realized, but
the work is nearly finished, and II
is confidently expected that the
bells of San Marco will break their

restoration of this famous tower
which collapsed suddenly on July
IA, 1902, after a proud existence of

undertaking than anticipated, some
OF the details presenting technical
difficulties. The bells of the old
campanile were shattered by the fall
of the tower, but they have now
been replaced by the generosity of
the presnt Pope. They were cast
on st. Marks day last, and will
again be rung from the tower on
April 25 next. The estimated cost
of the present tower is over
100000 francs, this sum having
been raised by public subscription
and large grant from the State.

No PiIgrimages Nor Cere-

Year.

According to a cable message to
the New York World Pope Plus has
decided to allow no pilgrimages to
Rome next year. This, it is said, is
in order not to embarrass the Italian
Government during the proposed
great exposition. The promoters of
the exposition contend that it will
compensate Roman tradespeople
and cabmen for their loss from the
stoppage of pilrgimages, but this is
doubtful. Already the prospect of
the exposition is raising prices, and
mex: year is looked forward to with
anxiety by residents already groan-
ing under the heavy cost of living.
The civil servants have petitioned
for more pay because the prices of
everything have gone up. The Pope
will also curtail religious cere-
monials, and the result will be
fewer Catholic visitors Next year
Will show the whole world that
Rome without the Pope is failure.
