TORIES ALARMED
Falling OFF Of Irish Securities Attrib.
uted to Fear of Home Rule.

Much comment has been excited by
the fact that Irish securities have been
showing nervousness and depression
on the Dublin Stock Exchange of late
Shares in Guinness Brewery corpora
ton have been quite adversely affect
ed. and Bank of Ireland stock, which
for many years stood at 405, dropped
a week or so ago to 2T0. The lowest
point that this stock ever touched was
259 in 1865, during what is spoken of
as "the lime rule~4h,a sEss'~e Some au-
thorities pretend to attribute the pres
ent drop in prices to the prospect of
the passage of a home rule bill next
year; but the fact is worth noting that
the selling movement comes entirely
from England, and the shares are be-
ing taken up at something like bar
gain prices by Irish investors.
(" In the meantime, MI. Bonar Law,
the new Unionist leader, goes storm
ing around the country breathing fire
and war. In IL speech at Bootle about
the middle of December he declared
that 1.-The grant OF home rule would
bring not peace but the sword to Ire
land" Unionists, he said, were deter

with this declaration: when the
time comes there will be no shrinking
from strong action to destroy one of
the most ignoble conspiracies which
has ever been formed against the lib
critics Of free men," The free born
men in question we're the Ulster
Orangemen. One wonders what would
happen should Nationalist use this

COMPENSATE NUNS
Will Be Allowed Salary in Making Out
Expense List Of Charitable
Institutions.

New York.-AnSWcr has been made
in behalf of the Catholic charitable
institutions in New York City to the
charge made by Comptroller Prender-
CAST that these institutions were max
ing a profit from moneys allowed them
by the city for the care Of the city's
young wards. Edward M. Grout, coun-
sci for the institutions, denied that
there was any real profit and said that
any appearance of surplus from the
city money was because no reckoning
was made of the value of the services
Of the Sisters who did the work in
the institutions.
To eliminate any ground for dis
pute and to remove the suspicion Of
profit it has been decided, according
to Mr.. Grout's statement, to adopt a
plan Of compensating the Sisters for
their work. This, however, "docs vio-
lence to the feelings of the Sisters"
and they expect to turn over to their
orders what they earn.
The papers which came from Mr..
Grout's Offices and which were also
signed by Morgan J. O'Brien, Eugene
A. Philbn and Michael L. McGoldrick,
say that in the care of the city's chill
dren the Catholic institutions really
incur deficit. The city allows nothing
for the housing, they state, for it says
that "carc support, maintenance and
secular education" should not include
any allowance for the upkeep Of the
htAses.

Coming From ireland to Paint Pic
lures of New Cardinals.
Dublin.-Father Ephren Hickey,
whose painting, "The Last Supper" :"
has attracted favorable attention from
art critics, will soon travel to the
United States, where he expects to
be intrusted with commission to
paint the two newly created cardinals.
Father Ephren is a remarkable man.
Not only is he a painter of distinction,
but he is also scholar Of high at
tainments and one OF the most elo-
quent and convincing of the preach
ers of the Franciscan order.
A native Of the county Of Limerick,
he was born just 80 years ago. One
day he may be able to claim relation
ship with an Irish saint, as the cause
of the Venerable Father Hickey, O..
f. NJ, who was the last Superior of
the Franciscan Friary in Odare, and
was martyred there in 1861, is at pres
ent before the Holy See for beatifi-
cation.
After short time at the prepara-
tory college at Manchester, Father
Ephren received the habit at the sur.
prisingly early age of 16 years, and
when just over % years he was or
dained priest-a remarkable record
for a Franciscan missionary.
Early in his priestly labors he de-
veloped taste for painting, and in
1908, at the earnest request of his
Provincial he took to art seriously
under master at Manchester.
The young priest made such prog
ress that his ecclesiastical chief felt
he ought to have wider facilities for
,perfsctinsgg, himself, so iaftorstwe years
spent with his English master he was
sent abroad to study the masterpieces
in Florence, Rome, Sienna, Boulogna,
Venice, Verona and Munich.
Besides numerous laymen, Father
Ephren has painted Archbishop
Bourne (the new English CardinaD,
Bishop Fenton and Bishop Casartelli.
He is at present working at the pal
ace at Limerick, on a painting of DR..
O'Dwyer, Lord Bishop of Limerick.

POOR TAFT.

The tilt for the next Republican
presidential nomination now GO
ing on between President Taft and
Roosevelt has now proceeded
quite far enough to indicate that
Mr.. Taft will not again receive the
nomination for a second term.
Only last week he was 90 crush
ingly defeated in his own State
(Ohio,) that all political au-
thorities now seem to agree that it
would be inviting sure defeat to
re.nominate him. President Taft
seems to have no popularity at all,
despite the fact that he is in the
Presidential chair, with all the
patronage of the Federal Offices at
his command. He has captured
the delegations of no states worth
mentioning, except here and there
q small one where the G. o. P, is
cock sure of defeat by the Demo.
Gratis. He has lost Maryland, in
the very shadow of the National
Capitol; Pennsylvania, ock.rib-
bed Republican, has gone against
him; Massachusetts, largely so and
even California, which he so
beautifully favored in the Ex-
position fight, has given him the
marble heart.
In some Republican quarters it
is now being openly discussed
that the beet plan to save the
party from defeat would be to
discard him altogether, Roosevelt
too, and put up and nominate a
man at the convention that would
reconcile the warning elements of
the party and carry it on to vic
tory next November. 1t is hard
to understand, however, how this
can be done at this late day with
the irresponsible Teddy already
in possession of almost enough
delegates to insure his nomina.
ton. And the strenuous ex-
will so accentuate the
breach in the Republican party |
that no better chance will be
offered for the election of a De-
President next fall, as
this party is now united all over
the country. Champ Clark is
now ahead of all the Democratic
possibilities for the nomination.

planters who are able to, and should,
take care of them 1t is not intended
to issue relief to any except those who
are not only in need but have no
means Of procuring assistance. De-
mOralization of labor conditions will
result if promiscuous distribution OF
ratiOns is permitted"
"Relief committees should use to
full extent labor of refugees given
rations. Such labor, free of charges,
to be used around camps and general
improvements of the sanitary cOndi-
tons of the towns"
1T is not the Intention of the
Government to furnish supplies to
any man simply because his house or
his lands are flooded. 1t must be
conclusively shown that no other
means exist of procuring assistance.
1t is further requested that all good
citizens who have the best interests of
the government at heart promptly re-
port to this Office or any officer en-
gagged in relief work, any cases where
supplies are not issued in accordance
with foregoing instructions, so as to
enable the Government to take prompt
steps in the matter"
In compliance with the foregoing
orders the following classes of per-
sons are not entitled to and should
not receive government rations.
lst. Persons owning property, hav-
ing a bank account. or otherwise able
to provide for themselves.
"a. LabOrerS or renters of well-tO-
DO planters who are able to provide
for them. Wealthy land owners
should take care of their own labor.
Sd. Persons whose livelihood has
not been affected or has been only
slightly affected, such as fishermen,
day labOrers, cooks, etc.
ard refuse.
The attention of all is invited to the
fact that persons are not entitled to
Government rations merely because
their land is flooded and because
they are taxpayers or voters, If they
fall within the aforementioned clas-
ses they should not be fed.
The issue of rations by the Govern
ment will soon be discontinued. The
care of the destitute will then fall up
on the citizens of this locality. 1t is
therefore to the interest of the citizens
as we'll as of the destitute to see that
only the deserving are fed.
To make the rations last longer it
has been decided to discontinue the
purchase of coffee and sugar, and to
reduce the allowance of syrup to q
gill or less per ration.
The attention of all is invited to in.
hereto before issued. |
The authorizes have decided that no

issue of rations.
Please request newspapers in your
locality to publish these instructions,
and give them such other publicity as
yon can for the information of the
