A London contemporary writes it
follows: A recent visitor to Ireland
dcscrllios tho control which the Kentish
prlesthoiKl exercise. Domestic servants
aro chiefly Hoinanlxts. It was noticed
in several families that conversation
was cheeked on tho entrance of the
waitress, and altogether stopped when
tho subject was religious. A recent
pamphlet, describing tho convertlon of
a Uomanlst, had been condemned by
tho priests. A copy mysteriously dls"
appeared from tho drawing room; an
other was obtained. This also disap
peared, No doubt was entertained as
to tho cause. Tho wife of tho resident
manager of a principal bank had spoken
to her maid on religious subjects, Tho
bishop wroto to tho directors, threaten
ing to wlthdrow tho "Catholic" deposits
unless tho manager was dismissed, Tho
directors declined, saying they wero
responsible for tho manager, but not
for his wife, A farmer was ordered to
dismiss two of tils men for attending
Mr, Moody's services. It is the pre
vailing conviction that all which Is
snld and done In tho hounchold is
known to tho priest through tho con
fessional, Tho servant has two masters,
und tho paramount authority Is not
that of tho head of the house,
HI'.I Contest.
Thero Is now pending in the county
court tho contest of a will which Is
signed by "Mary McKorrny." Tho will
appears in regular form and Is regular
on It face, but the heirs of tho dead
woman are contesting it.
TIicho heirs say that tho mime signed
to tho will is not tho name of tho dead
woman; that at the time sho Is repre
sented us having signed tho will she
was In cxtremlo, did not know what
she was doing, and did not know her
own name.
Tho will was executed but a few hours
before her death, and by the terms of
the Instrument sho gave all of her
property to certain Catholic Institu

It seems that Pope Ieo, In bis en
cyclical on labor, has attacked the
scriptures that which ho himself says
Is tho word of (iod In his attempt to
place a thing above man, and tnako It
more powerful In directing human
affair. God gave to man dominion
overall the earth; tho pope tries to
reverse this and give tho thing (money)
dominion over man; and yet the pope
pretends to be governed In all things
by tho word of Uod,
4f tho pope is as Ignorant of the
science of government as ho Is of the
scripture, ho certainly'. Is un unsafe
teacher; and Jf he Is as ignorant of the
luws of common sense as ho Is of tho
laws of nature, his advice to American
el tl ens upon any question pertaining
to their temporal happiness docs riot
amount to much, Tho only animal
with which he can be compared Is a
democratic or republican politician.

Our Independent party people In this

from the republican party, They say

our navy, or war department, is ruled
by Catholics; our president, Mr. Cleve

Why duo he keep him? Meeause I tome

a murttnirof disapproval to run through

C. H. K Knnh, of tho First, and Colonel

to General Wheeler, commanding the
Chicago brigade, that they desired tho

Wheeler replied that as tho flag hud
Ihhih placed there by order of the

general hits no authority to Issue

an after effect that is liable to Ite
far more serious to tho guard.
An officer of one of the city regi
ments, In speaking of tho affair,
said: "It Is an Insult to tho
Illinois National Guard, and
every o Ulcer and man In tho ser
vice outside of tho regiment
which jicrjietruted tho Insult
resent It as such. Speaking for
my own regiment, I can say that
thero are ten or flftoen of our
oflleer who will never bo com

of this kind again, for wo shall
resign within tho next two weeks.
Of course we recognize the motive
as a political one, Altgold Is do
ing ail ho can to catch tho Irish
supjsirt for United Htatc senator,
and this Is only one of his many
way In which ho has used the
national guard to aid his pel III-
cul scheme."
It I expected that other regiment
inny be affected In tho same way, and a
great reduction In tho officers' roster of
the guard Is probable in the next few
weeks,
A memlier of tho Second regiment,
In which thero are many Irishmen,
said: "This Is In bad taste and Inex
cusable. During the war for tho Union
Irish regiments were allowed to carry
a green flag with the state coatrof-arms
on It, Instead of tho usual blue state
flag. Hut the Illinois National Guard
Is made up of state regiments, and
while the Second regiment is largely
made up of Irish-Americans, no one In
the regiment ever thought of putting
aside the state (lag, To do so on Illi
