There will be virtuous Indignation

religious revolution in the sixteenth
century had shattered the unity of

1t is doubtful if these two lectures
will have much effect on the audiences

at least they will buttress the faith
of the many Catholics who attended
them. Many more of our Catholic peo-
pie should attend them, instead of 60

or infidelity, in any of the fine arts
that will bear a comparison with the
classic monuments of Catholic faith,

Dublin. Feb. By vote of two

seph Plunkett, who was executed in
the Dublin revolution, was elected a
member of Parliament yesterday for
Roscommon (North). defeating the
official nominee of the Irish Party,

deported as a rebel and is interned at
Oxford, England. The result is re-
garded as a severe defeat for John

The result in Roscommon is the
first test of the revolutionary spirit in
Ireland since the Dublin and West
Coast uprisings last spring. Plainly
significant is the act of the ROscom-

(Irish Press and News Service.)
Washington, ID. c., Feb. s, 1871
There was a time, sirs, in this coun-
try when the American aristocrat
sneered at the Irish who were com.
ing to our land. The American aris-
tocrat pointed to the fact that the
Irish immigrants were priest.ridden
and Pope driven, the same miserable
cry that is to Il large extent today re-
sponsible for this bill. 1t was charged
that they were ignorant, and to a
large extent they were, although only
a century or two back of that time
the Irish had been better educated
than the English but English oppres.
sion had destroyed Irish opportunity.
They pointed to the fact that when
these Irish came to our country they
came poor; clad in tatters; that they
crowded into tcnements, ten, fifteen
and twenty living in room. They
declared that these Irish were the
lazzarOne OF the earth; that they
would pollute our civilization. Yet
what happened, sir? The Irishman
took his pick and shovel and went on
to the railroad. He worked at any
thing he could get and in little
while the lrshman was living in a
little cottage of his own; in a little
while his children were in the public
schools; in Il little while the freshman
with his pick had become the mana
ger OF the railroad; in a little while
you heard his eloquent voice ring out
in the forums of debate; you heard
the magic and music of Irish poetry;
you saw the mystery of Irish genius
Transformed to the deathless canvas,
You find the Irish today as good in
blood. as good in Drawn, as exalted in
soul. as aspiring as the people of any
race. They have passed in the test
OF life those who stood sneering at
them as they came use that one

TALKS IN PITTSBURGH.

(By Rev. T. F. Coakley, D. d.
Pittsburgh, Pa.-That portion of the
non-Catholic world in Pittsburgh that
proudly arrogates to itself the airs of
our intellectual 4ristocracy," received
rude shock Friday evening, Jan. 10,
in the Hall Of Architecture at the Car
negie Institute. The occasion was an
address by Ralph Adams Cram of Bos-
ton. Mr.. Cram is considered by the
majority of competent art critics to
have reached the very peak of archi-
tectural achievement, and, therefore,
to have a right to speak with author
ity and finality on all architectural
questions. Some of the most glorious
buildings on the continent have leaped
full blown from his amazing brain. 1t
was with unaccustomed pleasure, con-
sequently, that the culture of Pitts
burgh, so largely, let is be said to our
shame, tinged with heresy and inf
deity, assembled amid the inspiring
surroundings of the Architectural
Hall, Carnegie Institute, to listen to
to the wisdom, couched in faultless
rhetoric, that rolled with liquid limpid-
ity, and in torrential flow, from the
eloquent lips Of Mr.. Cram. Rarely has
a lecturer used language more chaste,
dictiOn more majestic, and sentences
more finely chiselled, and the ears of
his auditors must have rung with the
cadence Of his we'll rounded periods.
The setting was truly exquisite for
his lecture. He stood at delicately
carved pulpit, on the steps of the re-
production of the portals of the Church
of st. GILES in France. The hall was
dimly lighted with great candles, in
tall candelabra, giving still further
emphasis to its almost ecclesiastical
character, and in this atmosphere,
fragrant with the clustering memories
of so many monuments OF Catholic
faith, Mr.. Cram began. Before an au-
dience of nearly 1000 invited guests,
the leaders in the artistic educational,
social financial and business world
Of Pittsburgh, he proceeded to devel-
OPP the thesis that everything worth
while in this world in architecture
has been the result of Christian civil
ization. and by Christian civilization
Mr.. Cram lost no time in stating to
his startled audience that he meant the
Catholic faith. submission to the sue
cessor Of st. Peter, and society or
ganiZed on the basis of Catholic ideals.
Architecture he maintained, is the in
deN OF a peoples civilization at any
stage of its career. and Gothic archi-
lecture is the most perfect form of
construction devised by the mind of
man, and it is the matured flower of
Christian civilization. He attributed
the rise of Gothic architecture to five
things: Norman blood. Monasticism,
Catholic faith, Sacramento theology
and Christian commonwealth. He
talked continually of the grace of God,
the sacraments, the Papacy, and the
saints, whom he mentioned in an al
most endless ltany. He denounced
heresy as being the death blow of gen.
uine Christian architecture, and he
drew a deadly parallel between the
achievements of the

BERLIN, Sept. 8 (via London, Sept.
"a dispatch from Budapest, says
the "Pesten Lloyd gives prominence
to a lengthy statement emsnating from
an inspired diplomatic source at Vi

tude of Austria-Hungary and Germany
toward President Wilson's reply TO the
Pope is set forth as follows:
president Wilson and the Entente
are alone responsible for the terrible
disappointment occasioned by the frus--
tration of the Pope's efforts on behalf

Of Mr.. Wilson. 1t is the condition he
