PORTUGUAL
Now Realizing That Revo-
Iutionists Mistreated
Religions.

There has been a marked change
of late on the part of writer's who a
few months ago were claiming that
the reason d'etre of the Portuguese
revolution was to cast off what they
then called the clerical incubus" F."
During the past few weeks there have
been decided indications of a realiza-
tion of the church's side of the ques-
tion, and a feeling that everything
is not explained by denouncing
"Jesuits" or "clericalism" or even
"monasterial intrigues and seclu-
sions." This is something to the
good, and from fhis tendency may at
last spring a sense in the non-Catholic
minds that monks and nuns and even
priests are also human beings with
certain elementary human rights, such
as being heard in their own defense
before condemnation. In anti-Chris-
tian eyes of course their offence is
their existence. But fortunately there
is a conviction in such countries as
our own and England and Germany
that the worst criminal should be ac-
corded a trial and that punishment
should only follow positive proof OF
guilty acts. Writers who are not
blinded by prejudice are beginning to
admit that the Portuguese religious
who are tried and condemned by Free
thinkers were guilty of no crime but
Christianity. The manner in which
the sentence was executed betrays its
yindictiveness. OF all the millions in
Portugal these few hundreds were
alone found unworthy to continue in
the country, not because they were
criminals or enemies to social we'll
being, but because they were the fore
most professors of the Catholic faith,
and because they were supposed to
possess. wealth, which the promoters
of the new regime covet Since the
disclosures regarding the dishonesty
of Ferdinand Duez, who admits steal
ing $1,1O0,000 realized from the
sale of church property in France,
shrewd Americans are beginning to
take with a grain of salt Latin poll
ticians' protestations of love for the
common people. Duez used to
describe most eloquently the benefits
that would accrue to "the people"
when the church's possessions were
sold. His blood boiled when he saw
"the peoples patrimony" in the hands
of the church. With Waldeck-Rous-
seau, BRAND and Combes he UNDER
took to bring about the millennium.
The result of 1t all has been an
epidemic of gratis and thefts that
would make the worst type OF Ameri-
can politician look like what our
sporting writer's call "piker." Really
as some one has remarked, ut is to
laugh"

Irish-Americans Much Pleased
Over Last Mondays Cele-
bratiOn.
Large and Appreciativc Crowd
Present at Riverview
Park.
Limerick Defeats Portland in
An Exciting Tug of
War.
WILL MAKE 1T ANNUAL AFFAIR

One of the most representative
Irish and Irish-American crowds seen
in this city was that gathered at
Riverview Park last Monday after
noon and evening in honor of the
[rish-American day celebration and
the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
The chief promoters can not but
feel proud of their efforts, it being
success socially and financially.
Every family in Louisfi lille of Celtic
origin was represented by some one
and they mingled together like one
big family on an outing. The chill
dren kept the shoot-the-chutes,
miniature railway, merry-go-round
and other devices busy, while their
elders enjoyed themselves in the
dance hall or listening to the concert
of Irish airs arranged especially for
the occasion.
The special feature of the evening
was the much advertised tug-of-war
between John Hennessy's Limerick
team and Thomas Dolans gallant
crew from Portland, this event at
tracing big crowd, who hardly
gave the contestants room at the
start to do their level best, but when
the space was cleared and the strug-
gle started the spectators saw a
contest that was worth going miles
to see. First the Portland boys
would have the advantage, then the
Limerieks, amid loud cheering of
adherents of both. Finally the Hen
messy team gave one mighty pull
and drew the Portland team over the
line, big Martin Joyce, of the vic
tors, urging his teammates to "pull
them in the lake" A big crowd
gathered at the wheel of fortune,
not so much to try their luck with
the tickle goddess as to hear the
melodious spelling of Sergeant Jack
Maloney, who kept the crowd in an
uproar with his illusions to the
various articles and what part of
ireland they came from, etc. Dur
ing intermissions he would sing
snatches from the old Irish folk
songs, and 1t was the general opinion
of those present that Andy Kast,
who has had the reputation of be-
ing the best wheel spieler" in town,
will certainly have to look to his
laurels.
The band, under the leadership OF
Prof. Sirignano. played all the new
and old Irish favorites, Killarney"

PARISH MoURNs.

The sympathy of a host OF friends
and relatives is extended to John
Lepping and children. OF st. Mary's
parish. upon the death of his wife,

CLIFF HAVEN.

While Cliff Haven. where the
Catholic Summer School is being
held, is Ethiopian field Of pleasur-

sports and wholesome amusement.
the assembly loves to pause from
time TO time, to suspend all other
engagements while she. with a fine
sense of proprlety, pays just and

day evening when at the Audi
torium the solemn memorial service
to honor the memory of Monsignor
J. F. Loughlin. d. D., of Philadelphia,
was held. Rev. ID. ]. Hickey, Ill. D.,
President of the school, was Chair

few appropriate words as to the
high priestly character of Monsignor
Loughlin, his manliness and schol-
arly attainments. Rev. D. A.
Began, of Plainfield, and C. A.
Webber, of Brooklyn, in turn dwelt
happily and earnestly on his great
work for all forms of young mems
Catholic societies in which they were
associated with him in the past. The
eulogy of the evening was in the
mastery hands of Very Rev. John

ST. PATRICK'S
VIII Remain Holy Day, Not
Affected by Mortu
Proprlo.

Although the Mortu Proprlo Of
Pope Plus X. limits the numbers OF
holy days to "All and every Sunday,
Christmas, Circumcision, Epiphany
and Ascension of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Immaculate Conception
and Assumption of Mary, Mother OF
God, IS. Peter and Paul, and lastly,
All Saints" still II contains a clause
by which Ireland's national holy day
will still remain a holy day. Clause
III. OF the Mortu Proprio reads:
"The feast days OF patrons are not
subject to the ecclesiastical precept
spoken of above. But the Bishops
can transfer the exterior solemnity
TO the next following Sunday"
Hence unless the Bishops of Ireland
wish to make the change, st. Pat
rick's day will continue TO be OBJ
served as I'm the past.
