LAST DAYS OF LORD EDWARD.

Lord Edward Fitzgerald was con-
cealed for some weeks in various re-
treats about Dublin, but chiefly at
the house of widow lady named
Dillon, on the banks of the Canal at
Portobello, where he remained three
weeks. After several intermediate
removals he was conveyed on the
night Of May 8. 1898. for the second
time, to the house of Nicholas MUIR
ply, feather merchant, of 1873
Thomas street, where he was immed-
diately tracked and arrested the fol-
lowing day. 1t was about seven in
the evening on the 10th; Lord Ed
ward, who was i'll from cold, was ly-
ing on the bed in the back room of
the attic storey, and Mr.. Murphy,
who had just entered, was speaking
to him. Swain, accompanied by a
soldier in plain clothes, rushed into
the apartment and exclaimed to Lord
Edward: you are my prisoner, /"
Instantly Lord Edward sprang from
the bed, and drawing a zig-zag-
shaped dagger. wounded Swan in the
hand, but only slightly. Swan fed
pistol at Lord Edward without eff
feet, and ordering the soldier to re-
move Murphy, shouted out: II am
basely murdered" His cries brought

down upon the bed, but in the strug-

stomach. proved mortal few days
later. Swan appears, at this moment
to have rendered little assistance, If,
indeed, as one account has it, he dio

for help. and the struggle between

Rights of the Unemployed

The rights of the unemployed!
This is the question. A person is
said to have a right to thing when
he is vested with authority over that
thing. The right may be either a
right of action or right of posses
sion that is it may be either a right
to exercise ones faculties along GER
tain lines of activity or to have hold,
use. demand and dispose of certain
objects. Both rights consist in a
moral power conferred by God either
directly or through His representa-
tives. This power imposes on all
other corresponding duties of nom
interference. To ask. therefore.
whether an army of the unemployed
has right to enter church and to
demand Of its pastor food. money, or
shelter amounts to this; has the
army of the unemployed any author
ity given either by God or the state
to force such an entrance or make
such a demand?
No right exists without title. If
therefore, the army of the unem-
ployed has such right, it must be
able to show its title; for it is only
when one gives evidence of the JUS
tice of his claim that others are
bound to respect 1t. Now, good
title must have some solid founda-
ton either in justice or charity. The
mere claiming of it is not sufficient.
1t must be based on one or other of
the grounds recognized by ethics and
law. In the present case the only
grounds for the title to the right that
have been set forth or could be set
forth may be reduced to four. The
right to enter churches and make de-
mands for food, money and shelter.
if it exists, must be founded either in
ownership, or in a condition of ex-
IRENE need, either physical or spiri-
tual. on the part of those concerned,
or in the maxim Might makes
right" or in the fact that such en-
trance and such demands are the
only effective means for obtaining
redress for very serious evil. A
moments consideration makes it
clear that the army of the unemploy-
ed cannot, with any show of plausi-
bility, lay claim to right founded in
any of these four ways. not even in
the fourth.
They have no title founded in own
ership. The Catholic churches are
owned by private corporation, char
tered by the state, and governed by
boards of trustees. They do not be-
long to the public at large, like the
city hall. or the municipal court
house, or the public schools. They
are private property. Whatever share
of ownership in them resides in the
people is confined to the people of
the respective parishs. Members of
the parishes. therefore. and they
alone, have a right founded in own
ership, to enter the churches, but
even they possess this right under
certain restrictions. Others may en-
ter Catholic churches by charity,
courtesy. or invitation. but not by
right. They may come as individual
for the purpose of religious worship;
and if they come peaceably and in re-

Tickling trout is an ancient If not
exactly honorable way Of catching
them. The hand is inserted in the
water very cautiously under the fish
when he is resting quietly with his
head upstream and If the touch of the
finger is light he will sometimes allow
himself to be tickled slightly. When
the hand is well under the fish he fs
flung out of the water over the "tick-

verence they ought not to be exclud-
ed though they be of different parish
es, or even of different denomina-
lions. 1t has always been the prac-
tice OF the Catholic Church to keep
open It's doors at all times and to all
people. All are welcome. Variance
of belief is no bar to admission. She
asks no questions. She makes but
one demand. viz, that those who en-
ter shall be reverent or at least SEEM
ly in department. It is needless to
insist on the point, as there can be
no question of controversy about it.
Secondly. the unemployed have no
title founded in condition of ex-
IRENE need. either spiritual or physi-
cal. This is obvious. They have
never asked for spiritual assistance,
and they certainly are not starving.
Food and lodging may be had for the
asking. on application to the proper
authorities. AS consequence. they
have no right in Justice to make such
entry. and such demands.
Thirdly. the principle that might
makes right" is false. The most that
might can do and give man or a
body of men is physical power to do
or seize things. This does not con-
stitute right. because right is always
something not physical but moral.
On its practical side the falsity of the
principle is still more obvious. Once
admitted. such principle would
sanctify every violence and make
both life and property insecure. A
false principle cannot be the basis
of true right.
The last possible title. the claim
to disturb religion services for the
purpose of exploiting grievance, is
equally untenable. No one can claim
a right to do a thing which is legi-
timately forbidden by law. The dis
turbance of religious service is mis-
demeanor and is punishable in the
courts, and therefore is not a lawful
means of airing, grievances. All that
the most radical can say is that here
there is conflict Of rights, and where
there is conflict Of rights the greater
must prevail. But in the present
case, evidently. the greater right is
the right of religion. This Is clear
from what has already been said.
The Catholic Church has always
in distress. On the doors of the great
cathedral in the days of lawlessness
she hung the massive brazen knocker
which gave admission and sanctuary
to the oppressed. Her Bishops have
never hesitated to part with all they
had. even the holy vessels devoted
to the service of the altar. when they
saw their people in dire need. Her
sympathy with sorrow and suffering
is one of her most striking charac-
teristics. She is .avowedly the pro-
tectcr of@those who labor and toll.
But she always stands on the side
of order. She will not lend her aid
| to countenance or obet either vio-
lence or wrong. Those who seek her
aid must come in the name of justice
or in the sincerity of charity. She is
boundless in her charity and mercy
to the good, but she is fearless in her
opposition to evil.

RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONS IN
SPAIN.
Beautiful Ceremony of Pardon OF
Criminals from Death by the


Criminals from Death by the
King.
Among the religious professions
to Spain are: one on Good Friday,
bearing sepulchre with glass sides
in which is the recumbent Body of
the Crucified Jesus; the other is a
procession on Easter, bearing the
same sepulchre. but empty, with the
glass sides thrown open, reprenting
the empty tomb. Christ being risen.
Civil guards accompany the sepulch-
res, and the Easter-one moves along
to the sound of triumphal music.
Another touching ceremony in
Spain, is that of the reprieve of pris-
oners sentenced to death by the
King. on Good Friday. When the
King is about to publicly adore and
kiss after three genuhections the
Cross on Good Friday. the Bishop of
Sion. Chaplain of the King, ap-
proaches him and presents him on a
tray the Governments petition, and
says: "sire. human justice has con-
demned these guilty ones to death.
Do you pardon them?" The King
answers: Il pardon them;" then the
King kneels and kisses the crucifix.

THE MODERN DANCERS PLEDGE.

THE MODERN DANCERS PLEDGE.
Shall we appoint in every parish
vigilance committees whose duty it
will be to censor Objectionable dane
ing, and to report the same to eccles-
iastical authorities? Unseemly styles
in women's apparel cannot be cor
rected by formulating norms which
will regulate by inches how women
must dress. In the matter of dress
we must look to respectable women
of cultured taste and feminine mod
esty and leave to them the decision
as to what must be accepted as de-
corous. Every woman of high SEN
sibilities and common sense knows
when she wears an Objectionable
gown.
A college of specialties to regulate
decency in the matter of dancing
would be required and we might ex-
pect their first declaration to be that
their science is an uncertain one. We
cannot in terms of mathematics
formulate norms which will regulate
decency in dancing. We must again
look to, and leave with persons of
high moral integrity-with dancers
whose conscientious judgment exon
crates them from the suspicion Of
wrong-doing-to declare where ana
how indecency begins. Every clean
minded and conscientious person
knows when there is moral and
personal culpability associated with
dancing. Let these right-minded
moral dancers clear the atmosphere
by working up public sentiment in
favor of dancing that will not stain
the consciences of the participants
nor be morally Objectionable to spec
tators. I'VE suggest the following
pledge for all modern dancers:
In compliance with my duties
to God. for my own honor, and out
of respect for those not of my sex,
solemnly bind myself to take no
part in any dances that know to be
contrary to decency. By solemn
pledge assume the obligation of not
dancing the modern dances in a way
that would be Objectionable in my
own home or to those wSom l most
love and respect.
