English-speaking world is recriprocat-
ed in Ireland, and by none more than
the leaders of Catholic thought and
action. l do not refer to treaties and
alliances, but to the great moral and
spiritual good that can be done for
the world and for Gods Church by
new Ireland that is to take her place
with England on footing of equality
in the destinies Of the empire, and
not as now slave in the imperial
kitchen. Whatever England may have
done in the past, it is certain that to-
day the Church enjoys no greater
freedom anywhere than she does un-
der the British flag. That is abun-
dainty evident in the colonies. No
Catholics in Europe are more content
with their lot politically than the
Catholics of England. And so in the
new era the English flag, once the
ensign of Professionalism, will protect
the Irish Catholic and missionary
wherever his zeal carries him around
, the world in the service of Christs
Church.

councils regarding the reform OF the
house of lords, and Lord Lansdowne's
illness gave a reasonable excuse for
the postponement of his proposal. but
now reports are circulating that his
bill will have to undergo lengthy con-
sideration and there is no sign OF an
approach to an agreement between
the tory insurgents and tory stand
patters on the composition of the sec
ond chamber. These divisions help
to consolidate and cheer the coalition
which supports the ministry.
Irish Are ExuItant.
The Irish, especially. are eXultant.
Their meetings and banQuets to cele
brate ST. Patr1cks' day this week We're
larger and more enthusiastic than for
years and the English journals are
reporting them more fully. The lib
erals display their confidence by fight
ing even the hopeless by elections
such as the Bootle tory stronghold in
the Liverpool region
Another significant feature of the
week We're the strong declarations in
favor OF home rule by two such power
full colonial statesmen as the prem
ier of New Zealand and the attorney
general Of Australia. The Manches-
ter Guardian emphasizes rhiS and de-
clares all the British dolninions call
upon England to settle the Irish ques-
ton.
These colonial statesmen are com
ing to England in few weeks to take
part in the first colonial conference
and the coronation and great prcpara-
tions have been made by members OF
all parties to entertain and honor
them. These statesmen are. to a man
home rulers and undoubtedly will
freely express their opinions privately
and in the circles faTound the king.
Everything in short is going along
splendidly, but for the moment the
tories still keep up a strong tilibuster

BISHOP CORBETT
Delivers St. Patrick's Day Grafton at
Crookston.

There was ample evidence of 10y.
atty to Ireland and Ireland's patron
saint in Crookston on ST. Patrick's
Day. Practically the entire congre-
CATION was present at the High Mass
celebrated in the ro-cathedral The
dinner served by the ladies of the
parish in the new cathedral high
school building was largely patron
lied.
A program was held at the Grand
Opera house in the evening which in
cluded an grafton on Ireland by Right
Reverend Timothy Corbett and an
able sermon by Rev. J. Wurm.
The program throughout was ex-
cellent The opening numbers by the
Citizens Band were heartily applaud
ed, and the closing number by the
Juvenile band proved a pleasant sur
prise, feature being the dropping
of first the Irish flag, and then the
Stars and Stripes, as the Juvenile
band, formed in the shape of Sham
rock, played the national airs OF the
two countries.
Bishop Corbett's address was his
first utterance from a public plat
form here. His mastery handling of
his subject and the broad generous
views he expressed on public ques-
tions won for him the hearty favo
of his audience. He emphasized the
necessity of true religion for any ma
ton that would maintain it's prestige
and gave illustrations of the great
nations that had been built up on
foundations Of ambition, attained fame
in learning, art and literature, but
which crumbled at last because oi
the lack of religion.
The close of his address was a
masterful appeal for true patriotism
which can only be found in true re
ligion. A nation can stand only in
the supernatural virtues of the people
Bishop Corbett was introduced
briefly by Judge Gossman, whose re
marks We're pointed and appropriate
and the Bishop was given an ovation
both when he appeared and when he
concluded his address.
