A recent issue of the western
Watchman" notes that Ireland will
have to pay, the first year after the
war, tax Of about one hundred mil
lion dollars. The difference between
impoverishing Ireland by rackrent
and impoverishing 1t by taxes is that
the Irish party helped to take the one
system Off and helped to put the other
one on.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

$1.500.0o. DR.. Tupper the Senior
Chaplain died in July last, leaving the
prison solely in charge of Father
Hickey, the Junior Chaplain. Since
that time he has ministered to the

Washington, urging that he be ap.
pointed to the position of Senior Chap

Up to the present the appointment
has not been made. What is more
1t may not be made for some time to
come, for prominent official of the
Department of Justice said recently
that Father Hickey's promotion would
raise too great an outcry amongst the
Protestant clergy of Georgia.
1t now remains to be seen whether
the Honorable Thos. Watt Gregory,
Attorney-General of the United States,
will recognize religious bigotry, and
promote stranger to the position of
Senior Chaplain, at the request of the
Atlanta fanatics. We have too exalted
an opinion of Mr.. Gregory to believe
that he will do so, for such an action
would change the Department Of JUS.
tice into a Department of Injustice.
1t would be violation of the consti.
tuition of the United States, which
says that no person shall be debarred
from holding public office on account
OF religious convictions. Anyhow time
will tell.
Meanwhile Rev. Lewis J. O'Hern.

Hierarchy in Chaplain matters of
