OF the IRISH party, Mr.. Devlin said:

COMMAN DING RESPECT.

| One often hears a person who has
just made the acquaintance of a
stranger tell how he "sized him up"
The phrase is simple enough but the
task itself is not so easy, for "sizing a
person up is nothing less than trying
to read the minds continuance in the
face, to do which Shakespeare de-
clared there is no art. While it is true
that a scoudrel can mask his real
character behind a deceptive and pli-
able countenance, and that "a man
may smile and smile and be a villain"
1T Is nevertheless possible to form a
fairly correct estimate Of people on
short acquaintance. The business man
who employs lot of men becomes an
adept in the art. He knows what kind
OF man is best suited to the employ
ment he has to offer and he picks his
employees accordingly. Everyone does
it to some extent, even the children in
school who show no small degree Of
proficiency in selecting the one whom
they know they can make dupe of
without any danger to themselves.
The lesson these Sizing /" processes
teach Is that a man Is responsible to
himself for the attitude which the
public take toward him. If he appears
to lack character he will be treated
lightly. If he shows that he has no
set convictions, that he is perpetually
vascillating in order to be In harmony
at all times with the expressed views
of his friends, he will not be taken
seriously. A man whose views are
Numerically opposed to the views of
another will receive more considera-
ton at the hands Of that person than
one who lacks character to the extent
of Hopping in line just to be in line
In matters of religion, as we'll as in
other matters the way to command
respect is to demand it, When ones
creed is attacked nothing is gained by
allowing the attack to so unnoticed,
but much is gained by a calm resent
ment of the injustice. The person who
places principle above friendship
shows himself to have convictions and
character and people admire honest
manliness even in their enemies.

MEDALS FOR POPE
To Commemorate Founding Of observ-
atory at Vatican.

atory at Vatican.
The annual medal which is struck
to commemorate some act of the Pope
worthy of special historical record
was presented a few days ago to His
Holiness, Plus x, by his eminence,
Cardinal Merry del Val, who was ac-
companied by the medallist, Cavaliere
Bianchi, writes the Rome Correspond
ent of The Tablet. The subject repre-
sented on it, distinguishing it from
the medals of former years, shows an
categorical figure of Astronomy, and
refers to the new Observatory which
the Pope has established in the Vat
lean gardens. The medals presented
to His Holiness on the occasion, which
bear his likeness in profile on one
side, are dated in the eighth year of
his Pontiticate, and are in gold, silver
and bronze; the first being intended
for sovereigns and distinguished per-
sons, the second for lay and clerical
members of the Pontifical court, and
the third for others who have deserv-
ed well of the Holy See. They are is
sued for the feast of st. Peter.
Amongst recent audiences granted
by His Holiness was one to the Rev.
Fathers Walsh and Price, of the
Archdiocese of Boston, who were re-
ceived recently. These worthy priests
have been here for some time to pre-
sent to the authorities here, with a.
view to it's sanction, their project for
the foundation of large and import
ant college for foreign missions. The
idea has been warmly received and
encouraged in Rome, and the Sover-
eign Pontiff, in the audience he grant
ed to these priests the other day, gave
utterance to the generous thoughts of
his great paternal heart in speaking
to them and urging them on to this
great labor, which is so full of grand
possibilities and magnificent results,
1t was the Calvinist Macaulay who
said: "The Catholic Church is still
sending forth to the farthest ends of
the world missionaries as jealous as
those who landed in Kent with Au-
gustin. /. The number of her
children is greater than in any former
age" And this is the continuing work
marked out for the missionaries train
ed in the new college.

In an article in The Independent en-
titled, Events in Great Britain and
Ireland, Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, M. p,
writes:
1.-THE House of Lords is foredoomed
and the most sanguine conservative
does not believe that there is the
faintest chance of its being restored
to the position which it held for so
many centuries in British political
life. The British Tory may also be
said to have made up his mind to the
almost immediate passing of the leg
islation which is to give to Ireland her
National Parliament by the passing of
the Home Rule act. The vast ma
jority of the English public have long
been growing more and more reso-
lutely reconciled to the principle which
inspires the Home Rule movement.

conviction that the principle is in it.
self one of right and justice. 1 know
and know of many indeed who have
been thus and not otherwise won over
and who have become converted to the
principle of Home Rule by the recog-
milton of the fact that people as in
telligent as the Irish and on the whole
as well educated may be safely entrust-
ed with the management of their own
affairs within their own boundaries.
But on the other hand there are many
Englishmen who have come to regard
the agitation for Home Rule as a
necessary attribute of Irelands ma
tional right orat any rate of one which
IS not to be got rid of by any mere
force of argument from hereditary OPP
ponents. l cannot but think too that
the attention which has been for
many years or even generations drawn
toward the ever-increasing growth in
the prosperity and also in the loyalty
Of the independent British colonies
has had much to do with the change
of feeling throughout England, Scot
land and Wales on the whole subject
of Home Rule for Ireland. I have
been day after day more and more en-
couraged and delighted by the increas-
ing impression created throughout
these countries by Mr.. John Red
mond's recent article in Reynolds
Newspaper, one of the most thorough
ly popular of British journals, on the
Home Rule question"
The article to which Mr.. Mccarthy
refers appeared in previous issue of
the Irish Standard. In it Mr.. Red
mond shows that those who oppose
Home Rule are neither logical nor
fair.

ON THE RAMPAGE,

For the first time in the history OF
England's House of Commons that
staid old body known at all times for
the chivalrous courtesy of it's mem
bers became a bowling mob which
gave vent to such hostile and ill-tem-
pered jeering that even the Prime
Minister after prolonged and vain
attempt to deliver a speech had to
abandon his effort and adjourn the
sitting by the rule which gives him
that power "in case Of grave disor-
DER" The scene was unparalleled in
the English Parliament and the whole
hubbub was raised by the infuriated
Tories who. seeing the power which
they so long abused slipping away
from them, were no longer able to
suppress their brewing wrath. But
why should the Tories allow their
senses to be blinded by rage in this
case? Is not the majority entitled to
the ruling power now as we'll as when
the Tories were in the majority? The
whole display we'll illustrates the tyr
annical temper of party which has
made lavish use of its power to lord
1t over the people.
Throughout the whole big roar the
Irish members conducted themselves
becomingly. While their opponents
were Tuning with rage they sat by
rather enjoying the scene from which
issued the dying shrieks of party
which is already dead in fact. But
the demonstration in the House Of
Commons was unquestionably carried
to an extreme. The Unionist party can
in no way profit by it and it may lead
to disastrous split in the party's
ranks. If it does none of their oppon-
ents will shed tears of regret though
breaking up of the opposition is not
necessary for the success of the gov

AT LAST THE INEVITABLE.

For many weeks, though the ulti-
mate outcome of the fight over the
Veto Bill was at no time seriously
doubted by the members of Parlia-
ment who felt in the atmosphere of
the House of Commons more than
words could express on paper, there
has been uncertainty as to what
course events would ultimately take.
On July 20, however, Prime Minister
Asquith cleared the matter up when
in letter to Mr.. Balfour, the leader
of the Unionists in the Commons, he
said: Il think it is courteous and
right before any public decisions are
announced, to let you know how we
regard the present situation. When
the parliament bill in the form which
it has. now assumed returns to the
House Of Commons we shall be COM
with the Lords amendments. In the
circumstances, should the necessity
arise, the government will advise the
King to exercise his prerogative to Sc
cure the passing into law Of the bill
in substantially the same form in
which it left the House of Commons,
and his majesty has been pleased to
signify that he will consider it his
duty to accept and act on that adj
vice.
Mr.. Asquith's letter put an end to
the last shred of hope the Lords might
have had of preventing the passage of
measure which means far move
towards democratic government in
England. The Veto Bill will be pass
ed whether the Peers acquiesce and
give it their . reluctant sanction or
force the creation of new batch of
Lords to Offset the Tory majority in
i, the upper house.,
Although it is said the government
would prefer to see the Lords accept
the Veto Bill without further resist
ance than to be compelled to resort to
the creation of new Peers, it is clear
that should the Peers be created there
would be a possibility of forcing a
Home Rule BILL through during the
next session; whereas if the Lords ac-
quiesce and pass the Veto Bill they
will in all probability reject Home
Rule bill and compel the Commons to
wait for the two years to pass before
Home Rule will be possible. But on
the other hand if the King should
create Peers enough to overcome the
Tory majority the House of Lords will
then be nearly equally divided and az
the new Peers will not be required tc
pledge themselves. to yqte for a Home
Rules bill it WS1thdsbe Al easy matter
for the upper House to become divid-
ed and reject the bill, SO that no time
would be gained. AS conditions are
now nothing less than the dissolution
Of Parliament and the reversal of a
coalition majority of 1875 to Tory ma
jority can prevent the passage of a
Home Rule bill. And such d change
in the attitude of the people of Great
Britain is not likely to take place
within the next three or four years.

The Passing of tho Old Guard.

They are passing, swiftly passing, as
the dew before the sun,
AS the wheat before the cleaners when
the harvesting is done;
They are marching down the hillside
at the ending of the day;
All, We noble Irish exiles, must We pass
from US away?
Long ago they left their cabins on the
heights of Irish hills;
Left the Irish mist and sunshine, for
the gloom of foreign mills;
Left the shamrock green and holy, left
the thrush's song SO sweet;
Left the hearthstone Of their fathers,
for the stranger crowded street.
Poor and hungry, weak and wasted,
huddled in the holds of ships,
Did they bid adieu to Ireland with a
sob upon their lips;
With sob and with prayer, as they
faced the mighty main,
Turning from the dear old home land
they would never see again,
Came they not with blaring trumpets,
came they not with flying flags!
Came they as a host defeated, in it's
battle-tattered rags;
But with hearts of bold crusaders gu
they tread the stranger sod,
And they builded here a city to the
everlasting God.
They are passing, dear old women,
who have prayed and labored hard;
Strong old men, whose greatest glory
was to be the Faiths Old Guard.
God be with them-Irish pilgrims
for their exile was not vain!
All, my brothers, shall we ever look
upon their like again?

Heart Review.

CAPTAIN DoNELAN UNsEATED.

Captain Donelan. the irish National
from East Cork. was recently unseated.
In issuing the writ declaring the seat
of the member from East Cork vacant,
the judges of the High Court for the
trial of Parliamentary Election Petit
tons in Ireland declared that mo cor
rupt practice was proved to have been
committed by or with the knowledge
and consent of the said respondent,
Anthony Donelan." When the motion
err issue a writ for the election of an
other member, certain Mr.. Moore took
advantage of the opening to deliver a
TRADE against the character of Cap
tain Donelan and to call into question
the methods used by the Irish party
in the last campaign. Mr.. John Dew
lin at once took Mr.. Donelan's defamer
to task and an interchange of hot re-
torts followed. Mr.. Devlin declared
tory of Captain Donelan in particular
and the Irish party in general there
was not single accurate statement
Mr.. Devln then read the writ of the
judges which declared that no corrupt
practice had been proven against Capt
Donelan, but that the election was de-
clared void on account of the violation
of legal technicality. Mr.. Devlin
went further and showed that the re-
port of the Judges concerning an cleo
ton in Hull was to the effect that
the corrupt practice OF bribery was
proved to have been committed by the
said Sir Henry Seymour King" In that
instance, however, nothing was said of
the decision of the judges. In the
course of his defense of his colleague
Mr.. Devlin said: There was neither
corruption nor intimidation, and prac-
tcaly only on case of treating in the
whole election. There were 1877
charges made against Captain Donelan
and only two or three OF, these charges
We're sustained. venture to say
there is not an election in the whole
of Great Britain which could have
been made the subject of inquiry be-
fore any tribunal where the respondent
and the petitioner could have come
out with such spotless regulations or
where the constituency could have
emerged With such electoral dignity,
as in this case of East Cork"
obviously the purpose of the on
slaught on the Irish party was not to
discourage corrupt practices but to
vent a spite
AS Captain Donelan has been dis
qualified from becoming a candidate
in the East Cork constituency John
Redmond has asked Mr.. John Muldoon
to vacatc his seat in East Wicklow so
that Captain Donelan may be elected
by the Wicklow constituency and Mr..
Muldoon may become a candidate in
the East Cork constituency. BY this
means. if the people concur the men,
bers will only exchange constituencies
and the services of Captain Donelan
Will be secured for the party.
