TI10 (irent-Cntliollo Synod of Lem berg, (ialicia has refused to listen to tho motion of its metropolitan bishop to adopt celibacy n order to conform more with tho Koman standard. It al so refused to rocogniio Ignatius Loyo la as a saint, l'opo ,Vo XIII has Issued 11 circu lar letter on tho merits of tho rosary prayers, wli is specially effective in tho month of October!

During a mass meeting at Cork, Ireland, a boy was cheering a Purnoll candidato with nil tho power of his lungs. A priest who heard this was so incensed at it that ho lifted his heavy cane and struck tho boy, destroying ono, of his eyes. When people who aro supposed to bo tho most prom- inent exponents of Irish civilization I and aro also peaceful ministers of the gospel, can permit themselves to com mit such dastardly and unnatural deeds of violence, tho outlook is rather gloomy, and wo can hardly refrain from concluding that tho Irish aro not yet quite ripo for self-government They must at least bo educated until they become soiuewh it civilized, and wo are afraid that will take a long timo. In tho first place tho wild beast In tho Irishman must bo bound mid butchered, which, as wo have said, will tako some time. In America there Is Justus much liberty for the Irish as for others maybe a liltlo more. Still wo liud that It has been necessary to de prive tho Irish of their liberty to a greater extent than other nationalities, in other words, It has been found necessary to put so many of them In J jails and prisons. Statistics show that In America un IrMunan commits een crimes for r try one committed lV Norwegian or ft Swede, An Irishman U seven times morn Inclined to crime thftit Scandinavian. Wo csn sjmpntlro with tho Irish tit their struggle for self government; but wo do maintain that they nuislta educated up to It. Hml River Pulen, Norw., (Yookstoii, Minn.
