, When Abbot Gasquet entered the
guest room of the monastery it was
difficult for the reporter to believe
that this was man of sixty-eight
years old, man who since 1870 has
been ceaselessly active as priest, a
teacher, a historian, controversial
list, a student of languages and an
executive.
For Abbot Gasquet is by no means
broken and aged by his years of Ia.

agrarian revolution which has since
shattered all the towns and rampants
of Irish landlordism into the dust"
These are some of the tributes paid
to Patrick Ford. They could be null
tiplied a hundred fold by extracts from
published encomia bestowed upon him
by his admirers.
Born in Galway, Ireland, April u.
1887, he emigrated to America with
his parents in 1s4e. Boston was the
field Of his early activities. AS . mare
boy he attained employment in the
printing office of william Lloyd Gar
rison. who at the time was editing
and publishing The Liberator, which
contributed to the overthrow Of Chat
tel Slavery in America in the same
way The Irish World helped years
later to destroy Irish landlordism. III
1855 he began his journalistic career
by writing for the Boston newspapers.
In 1850 he was the editor and pub.
Usher, Of the Boston Sunday Times.
The war clouds that were soon to de-
luge the land with blood were already
gathering. When the storm broke
Patrick Ford enlisted in the Ninth
/ Massachusetts, and went to the front
where he took part in the desperate
charge of Fredericksburg. After the
Civil war he removed to Charleston, 8.
c., where he founded the Charleston
Gazette. Four years later he issued in
New York the first copy, of The Iri4h
World with which his name was to bS
identified for the forty three years.
When the Land League came Into
existence in 1879 he founded 3.beV

Through The Irish World he collectae

sides of the Atlantic as one Of the
foremost champions of the Irish cause.
His name is a household word where
ever there are representatives of the
Irish race. In England he has been
regarded for generation and more as
the personification Of Irish opposition
to English rule. In the United States
he enacted no unimportant part in
American politics. Under his leader
ship thousands of voters in 1884 broke
away from the Democratic party and
cast their ballots for Blaine. How
Burchard's Rum, Romanism and Re-
bellion" saved the day for the Demo-
cratic party is a matter of history.
Mr.. James G. Blaine. who was a
close personal friend Of Mr.. Patrick
Ford, in published letter made a
handsome Acknowledgement Of his SER
vices. His influence exerted through
the medium Of The Irish World con-
tdnued to be felt in subsequent presi-
Dental elections.
Whilst doing this work on this side
of the Atlantic he was inspiring his
countrymen in Ireland with his own
irreconcilable hostility to Irish land
lordism. Gladstone in speech de-
livered in the House of Commons on
April 18, 1882. declared But for the
work Of The Irish World is doing with
the money 1t is sending across the
ocean, there would be no agitation in
Ireland"
Equally emphatic was the testimony
Of Ireland's friends. Michael Davitt in
1.-THE Fall Of Feudalism in Ireland"
wrote:
mt. Ford has been actively and con-
stantly the most powerful support In
the struggle in Ireland on the Amer
lean continent. His services to the
Irish people. in the advocacy of their
cause in his paper, and in the enor-
, nous financial assistance rendered by
its readers and friends to the Irish
National leaders, are beyond anything

burgh.
The first congress, held in Chicago
had no discussion on account of the
number of papers and the fact that
the whole gathering was for the pur-
pose of laying the facts before the
Church in America rather than q pre-
mature discussion of them. Five years
have elapsed, however. which have
been years Of progress, sc that the
management of the second congress
believes that one paper for each ses-
sion is sufficient; and plenty of time
should be given for special study and
discussion of each subject.
On Wednesday evening there will be
at least four mass meetings in the
city of Boston itself, and probably six
or eight outside of the city. Distin-
guished Catholic laymen, rs well as
bishops and priests, will be invited to
speak at these meetings.
The resolutions of the congress will
be presented for ratification at all the
mass meetings.
Every Catholic priest of the United
delegate to this congress, and has a
right to apply for badge, admitting
him to all sessions. Moreover, par
ishes have right to send two lay
delegates, and one extra for every
hundred families over and above the
first hundred. If the number of dele
gates exceed the capacity of the hall,
as they did in Chicago, the congress
| will be prepared to secure a neighbor-
ing hall and repeat the papers therein.
Plans are also under consideration
for sectional meetings, representing
different missionary interests.
The New England Passenger Asso-
citation has rendered rate to the COM
mittee of one and one-half the regu-
lar first-class fare for going and re-
turning. This rate we expect to have
extended practically. all over the en-
tire United States and Canada.
Reverend pastors are invited to
write to the vice chairman and ask for
special rates for parties.
In the meantime the management
| requests that the clergy and laity in
terested be good enough to commune
cate with the vice chairman, SO that
plans may be made for all who desire
to go.
It is confidently believed that this
congress will be productive Of great
results. and go down as the largest
as well as the most successful Cath
olic gathering yet held in the United
States.

Sir Edward carson's Reply.


Sir Edward Carson, the leader of the
"Ulster" Unionists. spoke at Wharton
Park, Durham, on Saturday, Septem-
ber 13th.. and made reference to Lord
Loreburn's proposal. He claimed that
Lord Loreburn's letter left the Home
Rule question in a different position
to what it was in before and that the
question of a mandate for Home Rule
was "done for" He accepted abso-
lutely Lord Loreburn's statement In
the letter that he spoke solely for him
self. Lord Loreburn talked of prob
able riots Of ferocious character in
the North of Ireland.
''My lord, you and I know too well
that we are not going to be merely
spasmodic rioters, but If they persist
with this bill we are going, no matter
what it costs, or how long 1t takes, we
are going to make government under

Various Opinions of British Press
Upon Attempts of Parties to

The London Times Of September II
published a long letter from Lord
Loreburn, eX-Liberal Lord Chancellor,
and a lifelong Home Ruler, propos-
ing conference, representative of all
parties, for the settlement of the Home
Rule question by consent. Lord Lore
burn says that I'VE are rapidly ap-
preaching critical tinne;" that "ev-
eryone ought to help towards friend
ly settlement" and that, IF all sincere
efforts fail, then we can undertake,
with becoming resolution, the steps
necessary towards carrying out what
ever policy may be determined" He
anticipates serious rioting in Ulster it
the Home Rule bill passes into law
next year, but says "it is an extrava-
gance to speak of civil war, or to fancy
that the troops, If called upon, will re-
fuse to maintain ORDER" But he an
ticipates serious and widespread dis
turbance, because there is wide-
spread and general belief that the
Conservative party in England is pre-
pared to condone. If not to approve Of
it. Then, he says, the contingency has
to be faced of future Conservative
majority inss the House Of Commons
amending or repeating the Home Rule
act; or of the present bill being de-
feated by some accident. Even II a
settlement by consent be impossible,
he goes on to say, the effort ought to
be made. Every party stands to lose
by fighting this quarrel out to the Bit

partisan must recognize that revolt
must be put down in the bud. The
entire Protestant population Of Ire
land does not exceed a million, and the
forty millions who inhabit Great Brit
ain are entitled to some say in this
business. With regard to the Confer
ence itself, Lord Loreburn says the
discussions should be confidential and
free.
"But, when these confidential dis
cussions have been concluded under
the seal of lasting secrecy, then think
the final proposals, in their ultimate
form, together with the final answers
made on any side, ought to be pub
lished, If. unhappily no agreement is
concluded. In that way the public
would be informed of definite views
upon which leading men are prepared
to act, and would form its Judgment
accordingly"
