HE DEATH of Pat Connolly, acI1- nowledged heavyweight wrestler If Ireland, removes from that game one of the squarest and honest men. sad to say, wrestling isn't overcrowd- with honest men, but here was one man who never participated in a pre-arranged match. He fought fair ly and won every match squareIy He could not be bought, although he was approached several times.
 Up Boston, where Connolly was 9uried yesterday, they tell an inter sting story that is denonstrative of he honesty of the good old Irish nan. About two years ago when Joe itecher first won the attention of aritics. he was engaged by a Western promoter to meet the Bostonian, who vas at that time making Butte, Mont. his home. Pat consented and rained faithfully for several weeks, or in Montana, Stecher had num- crous friends.

 "Oh. let him in. It's good that he should see how oi will break him in- pieces"
 Joe got in. He marvelled at the ipeed and ability of the Hubite, but n the night of the match he was here on the dot to take him on. The match was a thrilling one and after almost two hours of wrestling. Stech- rsr finally won. But as he left the ! ing amid the cheering of his friends, Kle turned to Connolly and said:
 Pat. Ireland has q real champion. fTFhose people out there (meaning the { 5udience) do not know what they are , doing. They should be cheering you" HIS STATEM ENT coming from a winner of Stecher's ability was indeed high praise for witty Connol- y. He never forgot those kind words,

Cardinal Newman
Friend Of Freedom

In recent despatch from Dublin, a
correspondent of the associated press,
noting that the house in which the
parliament of the Irish Republic sits
was once the residence of Cardinal
Newman, sneeringly adds that he felt
very uncomfortable during his stay
in the Irish capital owing to the un-
friendliness of the bishops towards
him, and had consequently poor
opinion of the people of that island.
Like almost everything else that
reaches the America dailies through
that foreign.controlled news-agency

tiers, that statement is at variance
with truth, says the Pittsburgh Oh.
server. In his Idea of a Univer-
| sity," that illustrious churchman says:
1T is impossible to doubt that
future is in store for Ireland, for
more reasons than can here be enum-
Grated. First, there is the circum-
stance, so highly suggestive, even if
there was nothing else to be said,
viz, that the Irish have been so mis-
erably ill-treated and misused hither-
to; for, in the times now opening
upon us, nationalities are waking into
life, and the remotest people can
make themselves heard into all the
quarters of the earth. The lately in
vented methods of travel and intel
ligence have destroyed geographical
obstacles; and the wrong of the op-
pressed, in spite of oceans or of
mountains, are brought under the
public opinion of Europe, not before
kings and Governments alone, but be-
fore the tribunal of the European
populations, who are becoming ever
more powerful in the discrimination
of political questions.
