FROM GRACEVILLE
A Notable Celebration on St. Patrick's
Day in That VILLAGE.

Graceville, Minn.. March 3O.-The
celebration of st. Patricks day began
with high mass in the Church of the
Holy Rosary. The members Of the A.
0. II. and Juvenile Hibernians, bear
ing the stars and stripes and flag of
Erin, marched in a body to the sacred
edifice, headed by the Graceville band,
which played patriotic airs.
During the solemn high mass Rev.
r. Kennedy was celehrant, Rev. p.
Casey of Beardsley, deacon, and Rev.
NJ. Ryan, SUBJ deacon. The latter de-
livered an eloquent panegyric on the
life of st. Patrick. AT noon the usual
bountiful dinner was served in Fra
ternity hall by the ladies of the parish,
which was well pat:onized by resi-
dents as we'll as visitors. In the af-
ternoon the opera house was filled
with parents and spectators to witness
the efforts of the children and youths
who are attending the parochial school
and st. Mary's academy. The choruses
and other musical numbers were ve-y
appropriate for the day The folk
dances, pantomimes and all other num-
bers did credit to both pupils and
teachers, closing with numerous
farce. In the evening, long before it
was time for the curtain to rise, the
opera house was filled to it's utmost
capacity and many people We're I'M
able to gain admission. Much interest
was conferred around the popular
drama, Tempest Tossed" Miss Mae
Hickey, who took the part of leading
lady, had a difficult role which she
sustained admirably and beyond
criticism. Her facial. expressions de-
fined the thought before it was utter

would be a high compliment TO the
strength and efficiency of the Irish
Nationalsts. 1t was. however. weak
in Balfour to charge the government
with imposing it's plan on the country
by fraud. The vote speaks for itself,
and Balfour's charge was hotly re-
scented by the English Liberals. Pre-
mier Asquith kept his temper and re-
butted the charge Of coercion as the
Himsiest ever made in the House of
Commons. His plan is that the Com
mons must predominant in legislation,
the second chamber having only the
functions of consultation, revision and
delay; and being relatively a small
body, no longer resting on the hcred-
itary principle.
The Liberals, as we noted i'll con-
nection with the first reading of the
veto bill. are most OutspOken in the
matter of lreland's rights. On the
evening of March 3, Augustine Birrell,
chief secretary for Ireland, speaking
ut Oxford. declared that the govern
ment's Home Rule bill will be on the
lines of Gladstone's, subject only to
such notifications us time has shown
to be wise and rational. Even now
the government is making Il formal
inquiry into the financial position of
ireland preparatory to granting Home
Rule.
The veto bill, without doubt, will
have passed its third reading in the
Commons before st. Patrick's Day.
IL isn't beyond possibility that the
Lords might propose Home Rule for
ireland if they thought that thus they
could save themselves 1t is too late
for that. The House of Lords as at
present constituted must go. Then,
Irish Home Rule.

Lord Mayors Salary Reduced.

Alderman John ]. Farrell began his
year of Office as lord mayor of Dub
lin on a reduced salary of 91,60o, or
$4,000, instead of the $4,000, or $751;
900, which was formerly paid. There
is every Indication that the new lord
mayors year in Office will be stormy
one.
In accordance with his threat to
close the Mansion House as a protest
against the inadequate salary he has
already refused number of organiza-
tons the customary permission to
hold meetings there. AS a result of
this, the Gaelic League athletic car
nival could not be held there recently.
Lord Mayor Farrell in q letter to
the officials of the league regretting
his refusal said: "The enemies of
Dublin have closed the Mansion House
for twelve months, probably forever"
The Gaelic League and other bodies
are seething with indignation.
