StranglingHisOwnStatements. Hecanperformthatoperationmuch betterthanI,especiallywhenthereis amoreimportantmattertowhichattentionmustbedirected.Thatimportantmatteris,whetherhisLordship'svulgarsneerabout"Priest-ridden"Irelandshouldnotbechanged into"parson-plundered"Ireland.I quotedahalf-dozenProtestantauthoritiesonthesubject.Macaulaywas thechiefwitness.Inthatnotable speechintheHouseofCommons,in April,1845,thisprinceofEnglishwritersstatedthat"ofalltheinstitutions nowexistinginthecivilisedworld,the EstablishedChurchofIrelandseemsto methemostabsurd."
ButDr.Cranswickwastoldinhis schooldaysthatMacaulaywastobe studiedforstyle,notforhistorical facts!YetthisgreatEnglishwriter wasloadedwithParliamentaryhonours tillhecouldcarrynomore,andraised tothePeerageonaccountofhiswritings,thechiefofwhichistheHistory ofEnglandfromtheAccessionof JamesII.However,Icaneasilypass overthispieceofbluff,inviewofthe costlyblunderhisLordshiphasmade inconnectionwiththenameofanother Protestanthistorian,W.E.H.Lecky. M.A. BeforeappealingtoProfessorLecky asawitnessinthismatter,ImustexposethecharacterofthefalsewitnesseswhichhisLordshipisgoodenough toquote.HadDr.Cranswickkeptto MichaelMcCarthypureandsimple, somemayhavebeenfoolishenoughto believehim.Butwhenhequotesthe London"Times,"endorsingthewritingsofthisrenegadeIrishCatholic,he makeshimselfridiculousintheeyesof allhonestmen.The"Times"isknown toIrishmenasthe"GreatForger,"on accountofpayingalargesumtoaman namedPiggott29yearsagotoforge thenameofParnelltolettersofan incriminatingcharacter.Thisinfamousmanblewouthisbrainsafterthe lateLordChiefJusticeofEngland, thenSirCharlesRussell,undercros-, examination,madePiggottownupto hisiorAeryandacknowledgehisconnectionwiththe"Times,"
Ihavespokenstronglyagainstthe crushingburdenoftheTithesonthe IrishCatholics;butmytermswere calmandmeasuredcomparedwiththis scathingpronouncementofLecky's,on pages261and268:"WhiletheCatholic priestsreceivednopaymentfromthe Government,thepoorestCatholiccottagerwascompelledtopaysomething tosupportthehostileandaggressive Churchoftherichminority.There arefewmethodsoflevyingmoney whichhavebeeningeneralmoreunpopularthanthetithes,thisimpost being,asPaleyobserved,'notonlya taxonindustry,buttheindustrythat feedsmankind;'and.ofcourse,the naturalobjectionstoitwereimmeasurablyintensifiedwhenitwaslevied fromahalf-starvingpeasantry,whoderivednoreligiousbenefitsfromtheministrationsofthosetheywerecompelled topay.Asecondrent,raisedfrom themostimpoverishedclassesofthe communityinfavourofmenwhocontributednothingtoproduction,andin orderthattheymightopposethereligiousconvictionsofthosewhopaid forthem,wasagrievancesomonstrous sopalpable,andsouniversallyfelt, thatitcouldnotfail,whentheCatholicsacquiredsomemeasureofself-confidence,toproduceageneralconflagration.

Andforwhatclassofmenwerethe unfortunateCatholicsbledtothelast drop.OnthispointLecky,whomDr. CranswickandDrLeeperadmire, agreeswithMacaulay,that"ofallthe institutionsnowexistinginthecivilisedworld,theEstablishedChurchofIrelandseemstomethemostabsurd." Andwhy?Simply,becauseitwasnot anecclesiasticalinstitution,nora meansofconveyingtothemindsof peopleanyformofreligioustruth;but partoftheEnglishgarrisoninIreland.

AMERICANBISHOPAND IRELAND.
RightRev.Dr.Tihen,BishopofDenver,addressingaBostongatheringof theKnightsofCcilumbus,saystheBostonPilot,"askedwhyIrelandhad notbeenmentionedamongtheAlliesto whomtributeswerepaid,andwhythe Irishflagwasnotamongthedecorations.Itwasfarfromhispurposeto embarrassEngland,hesaid,butitwas theprivilegeofeducatedmentostand upforaprincipleofself-determination andHomeRuleinIreland.Wasnot
thisIrishaspirationsomethingtobe encouraged?HadnotIrelandshed herbloodasfreelyastheothersin thiswar?Whynotcreditherwith this?Itwasnotunpatriotictostand upforIreland.Onthecontrary,the principleofself-determinationweighed morestronglywithAmericaasoneof thereasonsoftheirwar.
