HUERTA'S POSITION.

turn at the policy of "watchful wait

not he lis whether or not" 1t cert
ainly must be strain upon the per-
sonality of person like Huerta. who
has not been in a position of either
asking or granting favors. and it is
a new experience. The erstwhile
President of Mexico is to have his
office made the subject of adjudica-
ton. The inquest which the Inter-
national Coroner's Jury is now hold
ing over the body polite of Mexico
to determine whether or not Mexico,
as represented by Huerta, is in a
comatose state or is really dead. or
whether or not he is to dispose Of
himself by his own hand, using res'g-
nation as weapon, are important
questions for the Jury to decide. We
give as our own opinion that Huerta
is in about the same condition as the
boy who stated that his mother was
dead and reported that the Coroner's
Jury sat on her and killed her
again.

AsQUITH's POSITION.

1t is not definitely known If
Premier Asquith is in position such
that his stand ON the Home Rule
question can be definitely deter
mined. Press reports this week state
that If the Home Rule Bill is allowed
to become law the Premier will
ask for an amendment exempting
Ulster from its operation. Asquith
has been asked to give the Home
Rule leaders definite statement re-
garding his stand on the latest turn
of the Home Rule situation. The
Labor leaders, the Welsh Party, and
the Liberals are all in favor of Home
Rule. The Home Rule Bill is looked
upon by Democrats, Liberals and So
cialists as an entering wedge in
British Legislation. It is looked upon
as means Of paving the way for
many Soscial reforms which have
been opposed by the Government for
years. The general opinion in Eng
land and in Ireland regardless of
national cause. but purely on politi-
cal ground, is against the passage
of the Home Rule Bill with Ulster
excluded. AS the talk of concessions
grow the anxiety for the Bill grows
greater and greater. 1t is more than
likely that before the end of the
month plan of settlement or some
well-defined opposition is bound to
present itself, which will either as
sure the passage of the Home Rule
Bill as it stands or cause the threat
ened break between the Government
and the opposition.

to cover the modern treason of those

POLITICAL PARTIES AND HOME
RULE.

One thing is certain. there is no
primary is basis of
election in the British Isles. At the
present time, while the feeling is
growing more tense each day party
lines are more and more pronounced
and there is no middle ground of ref
uge for those who do not wish to be
whirled into the maelstrom. The
timid among English politicians,
who have an eye for their future,
seem cautious enough about casting
their lot with the party that has the
brightest outlook. This is most es-
sential at this time when important
chapters in history are being COM
piled every day in English politics
and the English politician recog-
nizes that the adage, HE who fights
and runs away will have to fight an
other day." applies directly to him.
This has much to do with the
younger element which has less re-
spect for the old lines of clearage and
who realize the chance for a real
popular party in England and are
casting their lot with the Liberals.
1t may be safely stated that the old
party traditions Of England are, at
present represented by number
and not by force. and that
those who represent the as
cendancy are those who. through
age and experience have DOM
mated their constituency for
many years. This situation has the
effect Of making the Liberal and
Radical elements more liberal and
more radical. This is we'll illustrat-
ed in the attitude taken toward the
Premier, who is questioned and
cross-questioned, threatened and
browbeat in order to make him de-
clare his position upon important
legislation in which both parties
were interested. At present when
talk Of Federal plan Of solving the
Home Rule difficulty is looked upon
with favor by the ascendancy party
who realize that it is next to impos-
sible to maintain themselves in pow
er and they do not wish to show the
embarrassment and the loss Of pres
tige that would come by coming out
squarely upon the issue and suffer
defeat, thus they adroitly turn and
lend q willing ear to any proposal
which contains any elements which
could be looked upon as being able to

MEAGHER'S FAMOUS SWORD
SPEECH.

'My lord. am not ungrateful to
the man who struck the letters off
my limbs while was yet a child, and
by whose influence my father, the
first Catholic that did so for two
hundred years, sat for the last two
years in the Civic chair Of my native
city. But, my lord, the same God
who gave to that great man the pow

dancy in his country, and who en-
abled him to institute in this land

when political ameliorations call for

THE MOTHER OF A PRIEST.

Bless God, my dear friends-yes,
bless the good God with me, for 1 am
now the mother of a priest. 1t was
to you I wrote twenty-five years ago
when this dear child was given to
me. I remember it we'll, I was be-
side myself with joy, felt the little
creature alive at my side. stretch
ed out my hand toward him! 1 touch
ed him in his cradle as If to assure
myself that I really possessed him.
But, ali! what difference between
that joy and the happiness that is
mine today happiness that, exalts
my very soul and fills it with senti-
ments truly sublime. I am the mo-
Their of priest today. These little
hands that I kissed with tenderesl
affection now and twenty years ago
these hands are consecrated to-
day; these fingers have touched my
very God. This infant intelligence
that received from me its light and
to which l have shown the end and
the purpose of life has grown apace
and been imbued with the saving
truths; by study and grace it has
far surpassed my own-and behold
it is consecrated today! This body
that cared for and protected. that
caused me many night of anguish
and tears, when sickness seemed
anxious to rob me of my treasure. is
now big and strong and consecrated
to God. A servant of the soul of a
priest, it will endure fatigue to life
up the sinner, instruct the ignorant,
to give the good Lord to every intelli-
gent creature who seeks and asks for
him.
This heart, ali, this pure heart
that has never desired any other
than a mothers love-a heart that
trembled at the very thought of con-
tact with anything earthly-this
heart is consecrated today. The
love which actuates it is charity pure
and undefiled. Oh. my son. know
him we'll. know what treasures lie
hidden in his noble nature. The
love of that heart will be a protect
ing barrier against the world and
against himself. And when God will
lead across his path some faltering,
feeble soul, a prey in anxiety or
plunged in the depths of despair, ah,
then he will know how and where to
find words to comfort and console,
to inspire with confidence in the
goodness of merciful God.
Yes, yes, my child will accomplish
great good; he will be according to
the heart of God, he will be the very
soul Of charity. Yes, I am the
mother of priest, real, true
priest.

THE NUNS AT GETTYSBURG.

lnE NUNS AL OEIIY SbOftis
There were other heroes at Get
tysburg besides the wearers of the
blue and Gray. There were heroines
of the Black-the Catholic Sisters
who went to the front to tend the
wounded and console the dying.
These, by some strange oversight,
were not mentioned in any reports in
the daily press, any more than If
they never had any existence. A
gentleman who knows something of
the part they palyed. and chronicled
it in suitable shape in a history, has
written to The Record to correct the
singular omission. He said, in part:
"Emmitsbu rg, where the mother
house of the Sisters of Charity is To-
Gated, is only about ten miles from
Gettysburg, and when the news of
the battle reached that place a dozen
of the nuns. under the guidance of
Father Burlando, started for the
scene of the battle, we'll supplied
with sponges, bandages and clothing.
The wheels of their carriages literal
ly rand through rivulets of blood.
Father Burlando fastened a white
handkerchief on the end of stick as
sign of their pacific Intentions. In
less than an hour after their arrival
they were at work binding the
wounds of the stricken soldiers and
bathing many fevered brow.
The Catholic church as we'll as the
Methodist seminary were utilized for
hospital purposes, and it was here
that most of their work was done.
They also attended the sick at the
Pennsylvania College building. which
was being used as prison for Con-
federate soldiers. Surgeons were
scarce at that time, and many cases
the nuns did the work that is usu-
ally performed by the medical men.
The next day other Sisters were hur-
ried from Emmitsburg. and in
short time they had force that was
competent to cope with the great
task before them. How well they
did it is a matter of history that is
sometimes overlooked. After it was
over they received grateful letter
of thanks from Governor Curtin"

Liberty would have us beware, be-
cause. forsooth, they are of evil char
