A dignitary at the Propaganda gives the following resume of the controversy i-—- | “At the Propaganda,” he says, ‘‘the Irish | question is known to be giving the Holy | Father the gravest preoccupation. Catholic Ireland-—by which Pope Leo means not enly | Ireland but Irishmen all ever the world —is providentislly marked eut as a missionary i of she Christian idea. Wherever Irishmen | go they build a church and spread the gos- pel. They support Catholle interests are in two hemispheres. Even in England the priests are mostly of Irish descont. In the eolonies the Church would have languished had not the Irish clergy come to the rescue. Buch being the case, it behooves the Vicar of Christ not to crush ine nationalist movement. “The other side of the question, as urged by the Duke of Norfolk, shows that home rule is only another word for separation, The fact that special penal laws no longer exist, and overy Irishmen enjoys the privi leges of a Pritish subject, proves that there is no inherent principle of persecutien in England's dealings with Ireland. “Moreover, a party has arisen in England, headed by Gladstone, prepared to take up the Irish question in the largest sense. Such being the case, and SBeotland being as much an integral part of the United Kingdom as Ireland, it would be falal to the interests of the Holy See and its Cath- olic subjects all over the world to allow it % go forth that the Pope is on the side of rebellious agitation. In conclusion, the English party st the Vatiean draw a parallel between the sec- tion of the Holy See in Germany and its in- fluence for good between Ireland and Eugland.” STARVATION IN JAIL.
