Upstate districts are complaining of
the severest chestnut blight in years.
The disease is specially dangerous
this year, the germs or pores being
evidently carried by birds or insects
in some other agent than the winds.
1t is. therefore, of the utmost impor-
lance, the residents are warned by
DR.. Charles H. Peck, state botanist,
that a close watch be kept for the
appearance of the disease wherever
chestnut trees abound, and that trees
affected by it should be cut out and
their bark burned as soon as possible

THOSE WHO KNOW AND OTHERS

While a few editors in this country
who have not read the Home Rule
bill. and who. we will venture to say,
nave not read i'll it's entirety the
Home Rule bill of 1886 or the bill Of
1898, are "enlightening'' the world on
the dangers of the new measure by
referring to it as miserable make
shift of bill, the men who are
fighting Ireland's battles and who
have spent a lifetime in the cause of
better government for Ireland are all
enthusiastic in their support of it.
John Redmond who has been the
leading champion of Irish self-gov-
eminent for more than a decade, says
of the new Home Rule bill. This is
a great measure, and we welcome it..
The bill will be submitted to the Irish
National convention, and l shall with
out hesitation recommend to the con-
vention acceptance of the bill"
John Dillon who knows lreland's
needs and whose sincerity cannot be
questioned, does not hesitate to give
the bill his fullest endorsement. 1.-The
DILL he says, lis Il great measure, an
Improvement in every respect on the
bills of 1885 and 1898. I am con-
WINGED it will be accepted by Irish
Nationaists all over the world as a
settlement of the Irish National ques-
ton"
L. P. O'Connor, who is growing old
III the service of his country, who has
taken part in other Home Rule fights
and who is competent to judge the
Home Rule bill, sums up his cstima-
ton of the measure in these words:
I'm short, the Home Rule measure
i. hailed as the boldest most gener-
Gus, and most practical measure Of
self-government ever yet brought for
ward. There is jubilation among all
Irish Nationalist, and the Liberals
are equally delighted"
Joseph Devlin, the astute parlia-
lhentarian, in harmony with the other
Irish leaders, says: ut is great
charter of liberty for Ireland, which
VIII bring joy to the hearts of our
race In every part Of the world"
bill which receives the unanim-
Gus approval of these men whose pa-
trlotism no one will call into ques-
ton, cannot fall far short of provid-
ing fair and complete measure of
Irish self-government.

klPLlNG AND HOME RULE.

Rudyard Kiplng has begun to coax
anti-Home Rule melodies from the
MUSES.. Here is one of the stanzas
which was ground out under the in
SEPARATION of the gallant resistance
shouts Of the Ulster Unionists. The
words are presumed to be spoken by
an Orangeman who probably has
just finished slipping up dish of iron
filings and cream:
We know war is prepared
On every peaceful home:
We know hell Is declared,
For such as serve not Rome.
The terror. threats and dread,
In market, hearth. and field.
We know, when all is said,
We perish If we yield.
Who would dare say word in de-
tense of Home Rule after reading the
above? The terrible Kipling is help
Ing the Orange cause. But then the
Unionists are hard up. They need
help so badly that they are not par
ticular about who helps them. That
accounts for Rudyard's martial dia-
tribes.

SOCIAL CONTROL OVER LIFE,

1t is safe to say that the great
majority of the men who are lending
their support to the cause Of Social
ism look upon 1t simply as a poll
tical party without any idea of the
philosophy on which it is based and
which Its leaders are preaching. For
II Is impossible to see how any Chris
tian man who has studied what may
be termed the philosophy Of Social
ism. can lend his support to the
movement. Let the adherents of it
say what they may. Socialism is not
only un-Christian but it is anti
Christian. To illustrate we submit
some passages from an article in the
April number Of "The Contemporary

ance of which he gave the facts as
follows:
Il will ask in vain for a passage
from any speech or writing by Ro-
man Catholic in the whole course of
the Irish controversy since the Union
in which there is the faintest ap-
rioach in bigotry 20 the sentiments
expressed by DR.. Marcus Beresford,
the son of Protestant Bishop of
kilmore, and then Lord Primate of
Ireland from 1862 till 1886 at a salary
of fifteen thousand bounds per annum
This divine uttered these words at a
great Protestant meeting which, said
the report, were RECEIVED with loud
cheering which continued for several
minutes: we shall drive from our
glebe lands the Popish rebel and the
Popish distiller, and we shall plant
good and faithful protestants in their
place. I trust that every good and
faithful minister of his God would

rounded with Protestants than to live
like princes surrounded with Papists.'
Is it any wonder lsaid Mr.. MacNeilD
that Mr.. Lecky, strong Unionist as
he was, felt constrained to say that
the bigotries of the Orange faction
are the bye-word of Christendom.'
Mr.. Lecky (the eminent historian)
was strong Unionist, strongly
against Home Rule, but he could not
and would not stand for the bigotries
OF the Orange faction. Yet though
that faction has been and is the bye-
word of Christendom for it's bigotry
1t has been allowed to dominate Cow
eminent in Ireland for hundred
years. Home Rule will be the end
forever Of that evil dominance which
Is the reason why the Orangemen are

FRUITS OF A CATASTROPHE.

Since the sinking of the Titanic, the
final product of the shipbuilder's
skill and experience, steps have been
taken to initiate laws looking to the
safety of ocean travel. In the cvolu-
ton of shipbuilding the thought of
safety has long since been displaced
by what has grown to be almost a.
mania for luxurious appointments
until. as the investigation now going
on in Washington shows, provisions
for emergencies have practically been
overlooked. The Titanic which was
considered the most improved liner
afioat, had not enough life boats to
save one-third of its passengers when
loaded to its carrying capacity, It's
crew were not thoroughly drilled in
loading and lowering the meagcr sup
ply OF boats which it did carry. In
these life boats there was neither
food nor water nor lamps of any kind.
The life saving equipment of the I'll
tanic seems to have been made for
the purpose of complying with the
law. and not for life-saving purposes.
The developments Of the nvestiga-
tion Of the recent disaster emphasized
ono point. The Titanic was consid-
cred unsuitable. 1t might have its
bulkheads crushed in, but with the
facilities 1t possessed for cutting them
off &l,1
its air-tight compartments and it's
wireless equipment which enabled it
to send messages hundreds Of miles,
there was no danger that it would go
down before help could be secured.
But the impossible happened and
the Titanic went down before it had
completed half of its first journey
across the Atlantic, bearing more
than sixteen hundred unfortunate
passengers to the bottom of the ocean.
The world has learned a lesson. It
has awakened to the fact that the
greed for wealth and the mania for
speed have displaced considerations of
safety In ocean travel. 1t is costly
lesson, but it had to be costly to
be impressive. For some years to
come governments will be exacting
about life-saving appliances on the
ships under their control. With the
absence Of accidents laxity will again
follow and years hence another IT,
tanic tragedy will be needed to re-
mind us of our carelessness. -,

THE CAUSE OF DEcApENcE.

The decadence of Professionalism in
France is strikingly set forth in an
article in LA Revue" (Paris), writ
ten by NJ. Onesimc Reclus. According
to this authority there are sixty Cath
olics In the country to one Protestant.
He says it often happens that city
or village with Protestant mayor
gets the reputation of being strongly
Protestant when in reality the Pro-
testant population is only negligible.
Referring to the lax state of religion
in France outside of the Catholic
church. the writer says:
THE aristocracy, or, to be exact,
the Calvinist citizens, have disap-
pcared. One sees only some old men
and women at the Sunday morning
services; twelve, fifteen, eighteen per-
sons assist at the prayers; on the
fete-days perhaps there are eight or
ten more. Half OF the faithful sleep
IT, their pews before sleeping in the
cemetery; and so much has the faith
decayed that it is not certain that
they believe in their resurrection from
the dead as did their fathers before
Them"
Among the causes to which M. Re-
clus gives for the decline Of Protest.
antism In France is the tendency of
the scots to go on splitting up ad in
finitum. He illustrates by reference
to conditions in Canada where the
latest census shows that there are
sixty different denominations, each
teaching doctrine Of its own. While
the number of sects have not grown
so rapidly in France, the process of
disintegration goes on at an acceler-
ated pace.
Before the Prusslan war there were
In France about 100000 Protestants.
In 1903 the number had decreased to
$4,000. In Paris the proportion of
Professionals is now about to 81. In
the country at large it is to 60. M.
Reclus remarks that they have thus
become mere laven and that "they
will continue silently and by degrees
to disappear"
Summing up, NJ. Reclus says the
decadence of Professionalism Is due to
mixed marriages.. religious nonchal-
ance. increasing indifference to relig-
ion, and, above all. to voluntary ster-
ility." The writer concludes by say
ing that the Professionals of France are
mot to be commiserated with; for
they have been the instruments of
their own decay. Their own Book says
one cannot serve God and NAM
mon.' They have chosen Mammon."

themselves towards their Protestant
countrymen in those parts of Ireland
in which the latter are in the minor
ity.
Irish Protestants themselves have
borne testimony to the kindly rela-
tons existing between them and
Catholics in Irish Catholic commune
ties Prescription on religious
grounds is practiced only where the
Orange faction is in the majority.
That faction, it cannot be too often
repeated, want not equality but the
"Croppy, lie down" regime. When
they thought that that regime was
threatened by the disestabl,shment of
the Protestant Church in Ireland forty
odd years ago, they threatened to
kick the Queens crown into the
Boyne." Edmund Burke, speaking of
the Church of which the Orangemen
were such noisy champions, said:
Don't talk to me Of its (the Estab-
lished Church in Ireland) being a
Church! 1t is a wholesale robbery"
The doing away with this wholesale
robbery" aroused the wrath of the
Orangemen in the same way that it
is evoked by the proposal to allow
Ireland to manage her own affairs
They are represented by Rudyard
Kipling as being inspired by the old
spirit that made them threaten to
kick Queen Victoria's crown into the
Boyne. He makes them say:
Believe we dare not boast,
Believe we so not fear,
We stand to pay the cost
In all that men hold dear"
All this is mercy an echo of the
Orange protest against the disestab-
lishment of the Protestant Establish
eG Church in Ireland. It has as much
substance to it as other echoes. 1t is
the expression of the wild rage of
bigots over the prospect of their Cath
Ollie countrymen having say in the
management of their country. 1t is
that. and not the belief tina: a species
OF hell is in store "for such as serve
not Rome" which is responsible for
the furious threatenings of the
Orangemen.-The irish World
