CARDINAL GIBBONS. Archbishop Gibbons was invested with the scarlet beretta with ail the mag nificent ceremonial and splendid pomp befif.iiug his rank as a Prince of the Holy Catholic Church, at Baltimore, on the morning of June 30. We believe it was ou June 30, 1861, that Jfttuts Gibbons was ordained a priest jn the chapel of St. Mary's seminary in Baltimore by Archbishop Kenrick, and on this, his silver jubillee, he received from the handa of the venerable Arch bishop ol St. Louis the insignia o:f his high dignity. The ceremony took place in the noble old cathedral in which, as apostolic delegate, he so recently di rected the deliberations of the Plenary Council, the most notable gathering of divines and theologians this country has ever seen, and in which has taken place many of the most imposing religious oeremoiiies that have occurred in the "United States. The great services of Archbishop Gibbous at the council were rewarded Wednesday, and the investi ture of the beretta was the occasion of an ecclesiastical demonstration that is not again likely to be witnessed in many years. The weather was cloudy but pleasant, and long before the hour ap pointed for the ceremony the streets contiguous to the cathedral were thronged with people anxious to catch a glimpse of the procession that was to precede the investiture. The procession was a large and imposing one. A large number of distinguished pre lates took part in the ceremonies. The address of Monaignor Straneiroto the Archbishop was an eloquent one. He referred to the investiture of Cardinal McCloakey in New York, the first Ameri can Cardinal, the growth of the Catholic Church in America, which had turned the attention of the Sovereign Pontiff to this country for another Cardinal, the wisdom and piety of Archbishop Gib bons, the fact that this the twenty-fifth anniversary of his arckiepiscopate and congratulating him on his new honor in the Ohurch. He congratulated Arch bishop Kenrick on being., delegated to confer the beretta, and the clergy and people there assembled and the Church in America ort this evidence of the favor of the Holy Pope, for whose long life he asked those present to join him in praying. Archbishop Gibbons then addressed Archbishop Kenricks expressing his gratitude at the selecticn of so old and exalted a prelate to confer on him the high honor given by the Pope, and re ferred to the fact that he, the speaker, was the successor of Archbishop Ken rick's brother. Francis Patrick Kenrick, in the See of Baltimore. Then turning he addressed Monaignor Straneiro, ex pressing his deep sense of gratitude for bringing the beretta across the ocean, and asking him to abide here as a brother and see the growth and loyalty of the Church America. He then turned to and addressed the prelates, clergy and laity, thanking them warmly for conling from places so remote and in such numbers to grace the solemn cere monial. At the close of the addresses, Mon aignor Straneiro took the beretta from the table where it had been guarded by noble guard, Count Muccioli, and Jf* Jv placed it on the high altar by the side of tify Archbishop Kenrick. Cardinal Gibbons 1 1 & then approached the altar, and kneeling, the beretta was placed on his head. He then ascended the front of the tabernacle and gave thanks, after which he went to the sacristy and assumed the habili ments of his high office. Returning to the sanctuary he again gave thanks and the interesting ceremony closed. The music of the mass was of a high order and a perfect stillness prevailed during the entire ceremonies. BEEGHEB AND GLADSTONE. Bev. Henry Ward Beocher, Brook lyn^ eminent divine, who, as many of THE IRISH STANDARD readers are aware, is a strong sympathizer with the Irish cause, was ou the platform during Mr. Gladstone's speech at Liverpool, Mon day night, and when he was recognized by the audience they applauded him heartily. Mr. Beecher arrived in Lon don Tuesday last, and in an interview ex pressed himself as being delighted with the powerful speech of Mr. Gladstone at Liverpool. Referring to the exchange of compliments with Mr. Gladstone after the speech, Mr. Beeober said he told Mr. Gladstone he was too much over come by the power and eloquence of the Premier to be able to express 'his appre ciation of the address in words.' The speech, he said, had given him a greater insight into the affairs of Ireland than he ever had before. To this Mr. Glad stone remarked tha he considered Mr. Beecherw words highly complimentary, inasmuch as he thought him as vie 11 qualified to judge au any man living. EXPONENTS OF SPASMODIC fiE LIGION. The two greatesB living expoaeuta (so they believe) of spasmodic religion are Sam Jones and Sana Small. They have been holding forth at Eed Rock Camp during the past week. Although they have met the devii, in several pitched battles we have not heard that they have taken a "fiz" out—of- %is Sa tanic Ma|e»ty. The fact of the matter sensible Protestants are beginning to weary of gospel peddiiera like the- "Stains," and it is only the cast-iron gall of these men that keep them up at all. Just fancy a man like Sszn Small, brought up among ohe Mils and rilifp ei Georgia, and who never saw any thing: superior to a school-house magic-lantena.' show or a circus attempting to point orat to intelli gent, artistic people., the injurious ef fects of the theatre. Again, pure and undefined religion should not have for an exponent a man of the foul-mouthed habits, of Sam Jones, who, when he expectorates the juice of that filthy weed, tobae©o, will do so, even in a parlor independent of the use of a cuspidore. From such men end the free-and-easy doctrine they preach we will turn Episcopalian just long enough to exclaim: "Giood Lord deliver us.'' CHiraCJHILL'S ABUSE OP^ME. GLAD STONE. Of all the things that has been laid at the door of Lord Kandolpb. ChurcjaiH we fail to remember any from which it could be inferred that he was a gentle man. No one expects any more from him than the cheek and impudence con tained in hia manifesto. It is quite in harmony with the character of the indi vidual. Its tone resembles the barking and snarling of a cowardly, impudent cur. He talks of "the caprice of an indi vidual [Mr. Gladstone] elevated to dig nity by an act of the people." Lord Randolph should not allow the faet to escape his memory that the moral characters of many of his ancestors were not above suspicion, and like the rest of the Marlboroughs he owes the little dig nity or title he has to the "caprice" of an abandoned woman. Men like Church ill should be the last to make light of any person, let alone the British Pre mier who has gained the love of hia own people at home and profound respect Wherever the English language ie spoken by his upright and honorable course through life. Mr. Gladstone's memory will be honored and. revered by future generations when the aristo cratic ill-begotten bones of Randolph Churchill will be rotting in the grave, and being devoured by plebeian worms. Bat Mr. Gladstone, personally, is not subjected to the whole of Randolph's ruffianly abuse. He describes the Home Rule bill as "insane, trafficking in rea son, condoning crime, exalting in dis loyalty, abasing loyalty, and a monstrous mixture of imbecility, extravagance and political hysterics." He ridicules the anticipated beneficial results from the bill, and affirms that "the united and concentrated genius of Bedlam and Con ley Hatch would strive vain to pro duce a more stnidng tissue of absurdi ties than those gravely recommended by senile vanity to a people renowned for common sense." Such language is not likely to impress the electors with any other belief than that Churchill is a low-minded, debased man. The London News comment ing pn it says "We may well ask Mr. Chamberlain whether he is prepared to commit the destinies of the country to this political spirit. The manifesto is as insulting to Ireland as to Mr. Glad stone, and is such an expression of party pession as is happily unusual in English politics. aancB. iLteIMS ME. GLADSTONE AT LIVERPOOL. On Monday afternoon Mr. Gladstone addressed the electors of the city of Liverpool in Hengler's circus. The cable reports that he was received with perfect ovation, the circus being crowded to its utmost capacity. It is stated that fully 5,000 people were present, while hundreds of people unable to gain ad mittance crowded around the outside. Mr. Gladstone did not stretch the truth when he stated that the enthusiasm in favor of Home Rule surpassed anything he had ever seen in his life. He did not fear the financial superiority of hia op ponents, and he looked forward to the result of the elections with confidence. He attacked the act of the union be tween Great Britain and Ireland. Speak ing on this subject at length, he alluded to the infamous methods by which that union wa« brought about. On tins point he was very plain-spoken, and re viewed the negotiations from the time they commenced until they were finally brought to a climax by a declaration of union. It is pleasing te note that every allusion he made-to the champions of the old Irish Parliament was received in the most enthusiastic manner by the au dience. With regard to the land pur chase bill he leaves himself free here after to drop or rehandle the question just as circumstances and the necessi ties of the case may require. This was as near as he could go after previous speeches toward the announcement that Irish landlords will never again receive from the Premier the terms they refused in 1886. There is every reason to be lieve that such is a decision off the- ma jority of the cabinet including, the Premier himself. It became very evi dent after the first- few moments that these thousands of representative© Eng lishmen? present, most of whom "came to laugh" and with strong prejudices against the Irish policy were completely won over by the Premier and will here after be consistent and faithful woskers in the Hoone Rule eause. Deafening cheers greeted his noble words, PARSCELLI*addressed a large meeting at Wrexham on Wednesday. AiiTwmTHSii. 523 Gladstonian 556 Unionist candidates are in the fields MR.

THE IRISH STANDARD would have it distinctly understood that nothing of an objectionable nature will bo admit ted to its columns either as an adver tisement or as reading matter. It aims at doing its mite towards elevating the moral tone of the newspaper profession. THE National League in Dublin is performing excellent work by publish inga series of sharp, concise tracts on some of the most important topics which are now occupying the attention of the public mind. The fifth of the series and latest is by J. J. Clancy, M. P., and is entitled the "Orange Bogey" IN 4 ft, f'-nAj' our hurry last week to present a full account of the Kochester conven tion to our readers, the sermon of Father Riordan was allowed to go to press without having first passed through the hands of the proof reader, and consequently several mistakes es caped correction. It shall not happen again. THE British Premier was worthy of them. We refer to three cheers pro posed for him by the Irish parcy the hour of his defeat, when the vote was announced declaring that the second reading of the Home Rule bill was de feated by a majority of thirty. The Tory cheer was over, and deep silence prevailed when T. P. O'Connor called for three cheers for the repulsed hero. They were given with a will a rush and roar of sound, clear, resonant and defiant, pealed up through the legisla tive chamber, a harbinger and signal of promise. As they died out Mr. Healy bade Mr. Gladstone remember Freder ick Douglass' words that "One with God is a majority." What an enauring monument the aged statesman is build ing for himself in the memory of the Irish people. t, %/^il n. JOHN MOBLEY, as Chief Secretary of Ireland, should be held in high esteem by all Irish Nationalists. He deals out justice with a self-reliant hand. THE Belfast riots are already bearing good fruit. People can now see whether it is the Orange or Green that symbol izes the belligerent element of Ireland. THE boy James Curran, whom the Orangemen, after a desperate struggle no doubt, succeeded in drowning, was only 16 years of age. What brave men the Orangemen of Ulster are! THOMAS SEXTON will again contest the West. Belfast electoral district. He was beaten infc the general election last November^by only a couple of dozen votes, and success is quite probable. The [National plant is daily thriving in Uie Northern Province. CAPTAIN O'SHEA, the solitary excep tion to the solidarity of the Nationalist members of Parliament, has placed his resignation as member for Galway in the hands of his constituents. The celebrated Sir Boyle Roche would re mark concerning this, that it were much better had he resigned before be was elected." EVERY Catholic in the city of Min neapolis should make it a point to be. present ai the laying of the comer-stone of the Catholic Orphan Asylum next Sunday afternoon. By so doing they /il prove fio other denominations and the country at large that they always keep at the front of t-he profession in anything partaking of a charitable na ture. A.n excellent cut of the proposed structure will be found in another col uriin of THE IRISH STAITOARO. ONE of ,vWe want to hold Ireland by love." They went btraighi to every honest heart, English and Scotch alike. In the cousse of Gladstone's speech Mia. T. P. O'C&nnor's efforts in connec tion with the election in England wore poiatedly mentioned, and O'Connor se fevued to as sa. distinguished Irishman audi one of the most able members the^ationalist party. Mr. O'Connor in his cable says "After the gathering I met and talked with Michael Daritt, and asked what he thought as to the prospects of the elec tion. He replied that he had spoken t» one o£ the leading, liberal organizers on the subject,, and was told that reliable reports had enabled him to calculate that Gladstone's followers in the new Parliament would, be ia a majority of 57. He, Davitt, had no reason to dis pute the accuracy of this estimate." Mr.. Sexton's happiest frits in hia famous repiiy to Mr. Ghamberiain's attack ou the ,1-Iome Rule bill Wise the estimate of the- Birmingham Radical's capacity for statesmanship. "'Mr. (J&amberlain,"'aaid Mr. Sexton, "found a suitable occupation in the respectable if 'aot dazzling sphere of mayor of Bir mingham. Mature intended the right honorable gentleman to be in mayor. He Is intellectually a mayor still." The mesQbers of the Commons roared with laughter for sorae minutes a?idi no woader. A STATEMLENThaving beem receatly ma&e through tha* press that the An cient Order of Hibernians,, as repre sented in the St..Paul conventional: the Order, were not recognized^ by the Bo.iffd of Erin, and that $1,089 forfeit had been deposited in the i&iberuian iBank, Chicago, t®prove the assertion, a couple of gentlemen representing that body called iVt the bank last Satur day to cover the- money, but to their isusprise found ncmoney had) ever been deposited for such a purposes They claim to be able to prove that nols alone 'was the St. Pauliconvention recognized by the Board of Hrin, but also tihat the officers-elect are the only pasctiies who will be recognize! in connected® with A. O. H. affairs-in America.. THE Protestaouts of Cork have* formed a society which) will co-operate with similar societies* in Dublin, and! Belfast for the purpos® of furthering Home Rule and assisting the election) of Par nellite candidates. Too much sig nificance cannot be attached to this fact. A few short mouths* ago learned Anelo-Saxon& were putting- forth Her culean efforts in the vain, endeavor to prove that Home Rule- oaeant Rome Rule. Doefrthis look like HV On the contrary it would seem that those who formerly opposed the measure with the greatest foj?ee are now giving it their strongest assistance. This is the result of free and open discussion and a thor ough knowledge of the question at is sue. No elass or creed! will benefit by the measure to the cost of the remain ing portion of the community. Were Home Ifcnle granted aaad the land laws regulated millions of money that now swell tbe coffers of the English broker would be left annuaily in Ireland, and surely the circulation of these vast sums cannot fail to enrich the com munity in which they are expended. In a recent issue of the St. Louis Catholic World the following compli mentary remarks towards the A. O. H. appear: "The Ancient Ordeir of Hibernians of the United States which had been in session several days, con cluded its thirty-fifth annual conven tion in St. Paul not long since. The outcome of the meeting was most satis factory, and must go a long way to wards winning for it its just due, viz., the full approbation of every Catholic prelate in the land. One thing is par ticularly deserving of mention. Prior to the assembling of the national con vention, Bishop Ireland sent a letter to the State officers in which he laid down certain diocesan rules to which the Order should accede in order to be rec ognized by the bishop. The honorable manner in which the Order manifested its obedience cannot be too highly praised. It is a grand headline for all organizations of Catholics. A new. era of usefulness is dawning for it. A good thing is bound to win its way. Other societies which we might mention would find food for reflection in the above honorable action of the A. O. II One thing this proves. An Irish Cath olic society may always be moulded ac cording as the Church directs. For obedience to Church authority is their national 'trait.. 'Like priest like peo ple' is true here as everywhere.
