A TORY TRICK.

The recent defeat of the Liberal
party in the British parliament has
attracted the attention of the world,
Last week we stated that the Speaker
Of the House was caught mapping, not
thinking for a moment that he was in
connivance with the Tories We have
been frequently told in English news
papers that the Speaker of the House
of Commons. regardless of his politics.
is above suspicion and can be trusted
to discharge his duties faithfully in
accordance with parliamentary rules.
1t appears that Speaker Lowther
admitted motion which he should
have excluded and refused to expel
the Hooligan members OF the House
who interrupted the proceedings by
their rowdyism and compelled it to
adjourn.
Premier Asuuith Oh the following
day tried to rcscind the snatch vote
but Speaker Lowther allowed the
Tories to turn the House into pan
demonum without the slightest rep
rimand or threat of expulsion bv the
Sergeant-at-arms and his aides. Tor
les would not allow Asquith to utter
word and they flung books and pa
per missiles at members of the cab
met. Randolph Churchill was struck
| on the face with book but Speaker
Lowther evidently enjoyed the fun.
for he kept as mute as a sphinx and
made no attempt to restore order,
When' told to expel the rowdies he
refused to do so. and declared he was
ready to resign first.
T. P. O'Connor, in his letter ON an
other page, says it would take some
time to elect another Speaker in
| LoWthers place, and so he is left UNI
disturbed. II the Liberals allow the
Tory minority to run things as they
have been doing and tolerate Lowther
to remain Speaker of the assembly.
| it is sufficient evidence to us that
| they are not in a hurry to pass the
Home Rule bill before Christmas
If only fifty Liberals, Laborites and
Nationalist absent themselves from
duty on any day when Home Rule is
| under a discussion the Tories can re-
peat their disgraceful tactics and re-
tard Home Rule indefinitely. We are
glad to learn that the Irish National
lists were not responsible. The Eng
tirely to blame. In our opinion, Low
tier is not proper person to preside
any longer in the House of Com
J mons. Let him go.

G.. K. CHEsTERTON
Takes Fling at tho Mandarins Of
30. ., Great Britain,

'1t would be a pity if you and 1 be-
gan to wear pigtails when the China
men are beginning to cut them off,"
says G. X. Chesterton in a recent num-
Der of the Illustrated London News,
He is led to this remark by seeing a
statement by DR.. Robert Munro that
the next great step of religious prog
ress and emancipation will be a return
to ancestor worship.
"The chief thing that strikes me
about it," writes Mr.. Chesterton, lis
that if the present mandarins of Eng
land. the great lords, the imperial
statesmen, the naughty captains Of in
dustry. the wise and good philan-
thropic millionaires-that if, in short,
our richest and proudest persons were
required to worship their ancestors,
their two chief difficulties would be:
First. in finding out who they were:
and. second. in admitting it, Many
a fair feudal countess in an old Eng
fish castle would find herself invoking
the spirits of astonished backwoods-
men in Texas or humble saloonkeep-
ers in Chicago. Many Tory squire,
famed for his bulldog British pride,
would find himself performing with
considerable embarrassment religious
rites before the graves Of nomads from

row Wilson would never be president
of the United States. He it was who
by his magnetic influence and superb
leadership at Baltimore snatched the
nomination from Champ Clark and
gave it to Woodrow Wilson. If Clark S
delegates had stood by Bryan in his
fight on Judge Parker Tor chairman,
having been slated to make the key
note speech, the New Jersey governor
might not have carried the prize. Will
sons delegates stood by Bryan
through thick and thin, ard that ac-
counts for his victory. No better
choice could have been made, and
probably no other Democrat than
Wilson could have been elected.
Not only should Wilson be grateful
to Bryan, but the Democratic party
is under deep debt of gratitude to
him, for after getting Wilson NOM
mated, he took off his coat and helped
to elect him.
We doubt very much that the great
commoner has any ambition to repre-
sent this country at the Court OF st.
James. 1t takes q plutocrat like Reid

cares nothing for court dresses and
court etiquette, clawhammer coats and

though he would make more popu-
lar official with the Britishers than
any American who may be offered the
portfolio by President Wilson, Though
the British are no orators themselves.
they admire oratory in others and no
greater orator than Bryan could be
sent.
IN passing through st. Paul last
Wednesday, Norman e. Mack. former
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, declared that Bryan's in
fluence with Wilson is great and that
he will be offered place in his cab
met. William J. Bryan" said the
New York politician. "undoubtedly will
be offered the position of Secretary of
State. l don't know that he will take
it but no one has Mr.. Wilson'S conf
dence more than Mr.. Bryan" The
evening papers of the same day con-
tanned Washington dispatch saying
that Wilson had invited Bryan to Ber-
muda to talk over matters with him.
We do not know a more competent
Democrat in the country for Score
tary OF State than the peerless
leader who was thrice candidate for
the presidency.

The good Catholics of England,
mostly converts, are making strenu-
GUS efforts for the conversion of their
native land to the Old faith They
are praying fervently for its CONVEX
sion with gratifying results. Earl
Spencer better known as Father L.
natius, spent many years praying for
the conversion OF England away back
in the nineteenth century and went
to Ireland to get the Irish Catholics
to pray with him, thinking their
prayers would be most efficacious on
account of being victims of religious
persecution at the hands Of the Eng
fish. Father Ignatius asked the CO.
operation of Archbishop McHale in
his work and it gave him ineffable
pleasure when he received hearty en-
enlargement from that patriotic Drel
ate. Father Ignatius is dead and
gone and England is not vet con-
verified. Many eminent and learned
Englishmcn are becoming Catholics
every year but it will take a long
time to convert the masses who ara
stepped in ignorance and prejudice.

the charge of an outlying Catholic
mission in one Of the widest portions
of Chota Nagpur. He was a man of
splendid physique. and blessed with a
constitution which no amount of ma
lara could undermine. He was also
a gentleman of the highest educa-
tional attachments. But the heart Of
Father Stoffels was from the first in
missionary work. He was a scientific
and practical aSriculturist, a teacher
Of rare sympathy, and medicine
man of no mean Skill He was al
ways inventing and improving imple-
mcnts to make blowing easier and
never spared himself in lis minis
trations to the sick and needy. He
became at once to his primitive peo-
pie the ideal pastor, whom in Ireland
they call Sogarth Aroon. Beneath an
austere exterior there beat heart
overlooking with charity and love.
His parishioners simply worshipped
him and his fame spread throughout
the land. A few months ago he was
chosen to succeed the late Father
D'Hoop, S. j., as superior OF the Bar
way district. and it was while in resi-
dence at I<atkahi, the chief mission
station. that he performed the deed
of heroism which cost him his life.
"On Thursday, 18th inst, at 10 a.
M, he got news that notorious man.
eating tiger, which had long infested
the district, had killed a Catholic viii
lager of Ultra. In the morning one
man-known as half-mad-had gone
out for it alone with Ratchet. He
had been massacred on the spot and
the body was yet lying there. Father
.Stoffels asked the villagers to go with
him and beat the place, but they re-
fused to go. After much begging and
rebul1ing, number went out; four or
five followed him closer and among
them two with guns. At Il certain
moment Father Stoffels. who had ad-
vanced little. was seen to step back
to prepare to fire. The shot was
heard, but at the very moment the
brute was on him. Probably the bull
let had missed it. On seeing the tiger,
two of the Fathers companions fled
Immediately. there remaining only one
of the chuprassis, armed with a
Ratchet, and another man with gun.
The latter succeeded in wounding the
Tiger in the side, but the animal,
while he left Father Stoffels, threw
itself on the chuprassi. With his
Ratchet this brave man succeeded in
frightening the tiger, which disap-
peared, but it had received some Sc
we're wounds. In the meantime ev-
cry one had fled. The wounded chu-
prassi dragged the Father some dis
lance from the spot but much time
was lost before other men came to
the missionary's help.
ON the following day, after having
suffered great agony, the heroic priest
expired. Father Aloysius Stoffels was
born in Antwerp on October 12, 1865,
and entered the Society of Jesus on
September 81. 1884"
