Show II The civil war in the black republic of Hayti has ceased and hostilities will 1 T not e renewed until the close of the I watermelon reason. I On the Chinese labor question the I Boers are taking: time by the forelock, j "While here the cry is "the Chinese I must go," in South Africa it is "the j Chin?se must not come." The British government respect3 the decision. j If a few Spion Kop battles had taken I ;?lace in Ireland the little isle might now ! be enjoying the same degree of home rule Brita.in gave the burghers. But, I alas: it is not to be. Ireland is only a day's journey from her oppressor, and ! there is no Napper Tandy now to take, I : ; her by the hand. I . Half a dozen rich Spaniards in the I city of Mexico have formed a trust to 1 ' raise the price of bread, whereat there I is much indignation. Mexican women could knock out this trust if they baked their own biscuit and flapjacks, but in j . tnat country mere are a great many I more women than baking ovens. ! The latest freak in evangelical reli- gion has been introduced by a Dela- ware preacher. Last Sunday he whis- tied the text of h-is sermon in imitation f . of the meadow lark, interpreting- the I " four notes as 'Thou, God, see'st me," I found in Genesis. What part of the I Bible will he fit, the jay bird or the 1 katydid? 1 Rev. AY. F. Morrissey left "Wednesday I morning on a trip through Colorado I and Wyoming. Father Morrissey will I have an opportunity to visit the many I readers of the Intermountain Catholic in those states, and we are confident his presence and manners will add many new subscribers to our list in 1 ' that territory. A cartoon in the Dublin Freeman ) represents an Irish tenant handing a ; . paper to a trembling landlord on which j these words are inscribed: "Sell out or 1 J-ret out." This may be very inspiring, and no doubt it is. All the same, , evictions are taking place in different parts of the island and not a blow-struck blow-struck in reprisal. "Sell out or get out" does not seem to alarm De Freyne of Castlerea. r I If Miss Helen Dumke of Chicago v I wins a damage suit of $10,000 against a 1 druggist, it shows that nerve goes t along with a sallow complexion. The apothecary gave her something which actually took away her voice, and for three days she couldn't talk. It's bad enough to have a sallow complexion, ! l-'Ut when a woman is forced to hold ner tongue by reason of taking horrid j medicine, $10,000 is a mere bagatelle. J , Surrounded by a posse of five in a !.. . ' wheat field and bleeding to death from ;i wounds, Trae, the outlaw, put a re- volver to his head and ended his event- f lul career on Wednesday afternoon. I Many of the sheriffs of two states were in the man hunt, which promised a re-i re-i ward of $S,000, but they came up too late for the prize. The reward will be divided between the five mentioned, only one of whom is a deputy sher- So this is the last we shall hear i of Tracy; likewise Sheriff Cudihee j ; 1 London has been so grievously disap- , : pointed, particularly its feminine por tion, over the postponement of the kings coronation, that the announcement announce-ment it will surely come off on the last ii.iiwihii, .iniii ...- .,.. day set, creates little Interest. It will be merely an official affair. Leaving out the courtiers in petticoats and silk j stockings, it will not approach the eclat which surrounded the first inauguration inaugura-tion of Grover Cleveland when Tammany Tam-many turned out with silk hats. Prince Albert suits, and made the pavement of Pennsylvania avenue ring with hick-' ory staves. Having a contempt for the wise saw which declares that more flies are caught with molasses than vinegar, Father Torke is happiest when he contemplates con-templates his own literary loneliness. Some persona in that Hibernian convention con-vention dared to disagree with Father Yorke; indeed, very few prominent men of his own race and faith are of his way of thinking. This does not worry Father Torke; on the other hand such differences of opinion serve his purpose in introducing a literary style which nobody else dare use without obtaining the copyright. The individuality of the man shines out in his newspaper. The Leader, for example, is the only paper coming under our observation witn uniuna woras lor jonn yv. aiac-kay. aiac-kay. Father Yorke laid bare the faults and skipped the virtues of this big-hearted, big-hearted, noble soul, in a spirit which must have aroused- the resentment of many an Argonaut. But what did the priest-editor care for that? Resentment Resent-ment was the very thing he sought to arouse. Like the Irishman on the deserted de-serted island, Father Yorke will always al-ways remain "agin' the government." govern-ment." . Somebody suggests that Father Yorke be requested to give our prominent promi-nent Irishmen, both dead and alive, a rest, and for a change tackle the devil or lambaste an Orangeman. |
