THE LORDS AND HOME RULE.

The attitude of the English Lords
on the Home Rule bill was a matter
of wide interest Prior to the pas
sage of the Veto bill two years ago
the Lords had the last word on all
proposed legislation. They could say
what should become law and what
should not and their decision was
final.
BY the passage Of the Veto bill
their power was limited. They now
have the right to reject twice any
measure passed by the House of
Commons. But if the House passes
the bill third time in two years,
without an election intervening, the
bill becomes law on receiving the
royal signature regardless of what
position the Lords take. This was
deemed the only course by which lib
eral legislation could ever be put on
the statute books of England.
AS was to, be expected the Lords
rejected the Home Rule bill second
time on its presentation to them last
week. There was little interest mani
tested in what they would do with it.
The interests conferred in the way
they would go about rejecting it.
True to their native imperiousness,
they rejected the bill with as much
gusto as If they still retained their
former power. They insisted that it
must not become law and that they
have the right to say it shall not,
though this is the last time they will
have anything to say about it,
Their final contention is that it
should not become law without the
formality OF another election. This is
an absurdity, as Home Rule was an
issue at the last election, made so by
tory candidates. The people sane
toned the passage of the proposed
bill by the selection of q Parliament
pledged to it.
There is something ludicrous in the
position of the Peers. They have
been SO accustomed to power that
they cannot get over the habit of act
ing as il they still possessed it. But
time will tell.gsA year hence when the
bill is passed for the third time their
voice in the matter will be nil.

This week has seen almost q hun
dred lives lost and many manned in
two terrible holocausts. On Tuesday
the papers announced the burning to
death of thirty five negro prisoners
trapped in an old prison cage near
Jackson, Miss. The unfortunate ne
groes We're virtually fried alive be-
hind the Jail bars. The following day
the dispatches from Binghamton. N
Y, told of the burning of sixty work
ers, many of them women, in an
overall factory in that place. The fire
is attributed to the careless throwing
away of the stub Of cigaret or the
match used by some smoker. Such
losses are appalling. They can be
accounted for only on the theory that
criminal negligence existed some
where. Investigations will doubtless
follow, but Investigations now cannot
make amends for the loss.

CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.

Catholics Of the city Of New York
are about to build their first Catholic
high school to supply the higher edu-
cattonal needs Of the $4,000 children
enrolled in the parochial schools of
that city. The building is to cost
half million dollars and will accom-
modate 1900 students. The move
ment is being backed by the Jesuits
who have for many years seen the
need for such an institution. The
school will offer Industrial education
to the thousands OF students who will
not be able to continue their educa-
ton through a university.
1t is estimated that there are about
5000 Catholic parishes in America
which have built and are maintaining
parochial schools. The total enroll
ment is about million and a half.
The support of these institutions is
gratuitous on the part Of Catholics
They are maintaining them for the
sake of the education of their children
and in the meantime supporting the
secular schools. This looks like q
strong argument against the bogy thai
the Church is opposed to education
Minneapolis ranks we'll among the
cities that are making provision for
Catholic education. De La Sale Of
fers excellent advantages for boys de-
sirous of commercial training. st.
Margaret's and Holy Angels acad-
elnies offer excellent advantages for
the culture Of young girls. In addi-
ton to these there are the parochial
schools maintained by the various
parishes.
The maintenance Of these schools
amounts to thousands of dollars each
year. But they have their advan-
tages in that they afford Catholic boys
and girls of the city a means of char
acter building that would be impos-
sible in institutions where less de-
voted teachers might be placed in
charge. In these schools nuns do the
teaching. They make efficient teach
ers because they take to teaching not
as a temporary expedient, but to
make it their life work. They are not
in the work for the money it will
yield, but for the good they can rem
der to society. The influence of ex.
ample on the young pupils, all will
admit, is beyond estimation. The
nuns who teach in these Catholic in
situations have the spiritual as well
as the temporal welfare of the chill
dren under them at heart.
The money, therefore, invested In
these institutions is yielding a good
return in the quality of citizenship II
is helping to make.

THE PRISONER OF THE VATICAN.

Pope Plus desire for the freedom
OF the open has led to the acquire
ment of larger grounds at the Vat
lean. The enlargement is on the Via
Aurelia side. The Pope's need of
plenty Of fresh air and restful place
to ride and walk in led to the pur-
chase of the Sacchetti pine wood, the
property of Prince d. Charles Tor
lonia.
The difficulty then to be met was
how to reach this land without pass
ing over the soil which is under the
dominion of the King of Italy. To
avoid this the ancient Pertusa Gate
IS to be opened and subterranean
passage made to connect the Vatican
with the lands of the religious COM
munities adjoining the woods.
Thus does the Pope live by the rule
which Leo XIII imposed on himself
not to leave the Vatican grounds
Without disregarding the tradition
Pope Plus will have larger area for
his recreation.
The continued good health of the
pope is matter which it is pleasant
for Catholics to note. The tradition
that the different events in his life
nave been marked by periods of nine
years each will be especially remem-
oered at this time, as in Il few more
days he will have completed the tentl,
year of his reign. At last it would
appear that the cycle is to be broken,

HUMAN NATURE EvERrHE SAME

Times change and manners and
customs with them, but human ma
ture changes little. An excellent H.
lustration of the permanency of the
basic traits of man is to be found in
the second chapter Of the Gospel Of
st. John.
Our Lord and his blessed Mother
were present at the marriage in Cana
Of Calico. The wine failing the
mother of Jesus told Him there was
no wine for the wedding guests. She
bade the walters do whatever her
Divine Son commanded. Then it was
that Our Savior performed the mir
acle Of changing water into wine.
When the chief steward tasted the
water made wine the evangelist tells
us he made these remarks:
EVERY man at first setteth forth
good wine. and when men have well
drank, then that which Is worse. But
thou hast kept the good wine until
now"
The best side first was a. much
the practice then as it is today. The
same circumstance would apply to a
fashionable banquet now as we'll as
then. In broader way It applies to
every walk Of life. The inspired
writer understood human nature and
the human nature ha understood doos
not differ materially from the human
nature that we observe about US. The
changes that have come in the vari-
GUS departments of industry are not

severely for his assertion that he is

Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio for
Warded to Postmaster General Burle-
son a copy of resolutions adopted by
the Mckinley club Of Canton, Ohio
protesting against the order of Mr.
Burleson that postal cards be printed
with likenesses of Thomas Jefferson
instead of Mckinley. The resolution
reads as follows:
Whereas, 1t is but a few years since
William Mckinley was alive, and his
memory is justly cherished by the peo-
pie of the United States now living
without regard to party, and by the
friends of our country abroad, and
there Is no apparent reason why such
change should be made, therefore, be
it resolved that we sincerely regret
that such order should have been made
and that we respectfully ask that ii
be rescinded."
Senator Pomerene, in part, says:
1.-THE late martyred president was the
best beloved citizen of Canton. Oul
people, irrespective of party, were his
friends and I was one of them. His
death SO recent and so tragic makes us
hope that the postal cards may still
be permitted to bear his likeness, and
while yield to no one in my admira-
ton and devotion to Thomas Jefferson
the greatest of our Democratic lead
ers, and the principles for which he
stood, feel that other means can be
found of honoring him, without dis
placing the likeness of William Nc
Kinley.
