ThatQueenVictoriawassoindignantattheLiberalpolicyofIrish HomeRulein1885thatshethreatenedtoresigntheThroneistheoutstandingrevelationofthethirdvolume ofQueenVictoria'sletterscoveringthe periodfrom1870to1885,editedby Mr.G.E.Buckle,andpublishedJanuary18.

InaletterwrittentoMr.W.E. Forster,whdwasthenChiefSecretary forIreland,shesays,"TheQueenis assincerelyliberalinherviewsfor theimprovementoftheEmpireas anyone,butsheissincerelyanddeterminedlyopposedtothedestructive viewsentertainedbymanymembers oftheGovernment.Iftheseprevail theQueenwillnotremainonthe Throne.Shecannotandwillnotbe Queenofademocraticmonarchy. Thosewhohavespokenandagitated forthesakeofpartyinaveryradicalsensemustlookforanothermonarch,andshedoubtsiftheywillfind him."

TheQueen'sdistrustofMr.Joseph Chamberlain'andSirCharlesDilke wasalsoinevidenceinalettertoMr. Gladstone,writteninJuly,1884,askinghimto"readMr.Chamberlain's speech,whichisverydangerous,tendingtostirupclassagainstclassinthe mostrecklessmanner.Mr.Gladstone shouldnotallowagitatorsanddemagoguestomisleadthepeople."

Mr.Gladstone'sreply,pleadingthat hehadnogeneraljurisdictionoverthe speechesofhiscolleagues,madethe Queenstillmoreangry.

SirHenryPonsonby'sactualletter

toHartingtonwasverydifferenttohis lraftinstructions.

"Amostdisagreeable,irresolute,and timidMinister,"wroteQueenVictoria concerningLordDerby,who,indiscussingAustralians,wrote:"Themag. nitudeoftheirideasisappallingtothe Englishmind.Itishardlytoomuch tosaythattheyconsiderthewhole SouthernPacifictobetheirsdejure. ItiscertainlyveryhardforfourmillionEnglishsettlerstohaveonlya countryasbigasEuropetofillup."

WhentheLondonCongresswas beingorganised,Archbishop(now Cardinal)Bourneappliedforthe usualpermittotheHomeSecretary andthepoliceauthorities.Noobjectionwasraisedagainsttheproposed processionoftheBlessedSacrament fromVictoriaStationtotheWestminsterCathedral.Asthetimegrew nearcommentsbegantoappearin thepressaboutthefirstvisitofa PapalLegatetoEnglandfor350 years.Somepeoplebelievedthatthe actwasillegal,andinstancedCardinalConsalvi'svisit,afterthefallof Napoleon,whenthePapalSecretary hadtokeepincognito.Itiseasyto raisethecryofPapalaggressionin England,butitonlyaffectsasmall sectionofthepeople.Apparently,no officialnoticewastakenoftheseobjectionsntilaboutthreedaysbefore theopeningoftheCongress,whenthe PrimeMinister,Mr.Asquith,senta privaterequesttotheArchbishop, throughafriend,askinghimnotto carrytheBlessedSacramentinthe procession.Whenaskedforareason, hesaidthattherewassomedoubt aboutthelegality.TheArchbishop repliedthatiftheHomeSecretary orthepolicehadhintedatanyobjectionwhenthepermitwassought, hewouldhavewithdrawnhisapplication,butasallarrangementshad beenpubliclyannounced'hecould notabandontheprocessionunlessthe PrimeMinistermadehisrequestpublic.'Aftersomedelaythiswasdone, andtheprocessionwithouttheSacred Hostwaswitnessedbymanythousandsofrespectfulspectators.The CardinalLegatewasaccompaniedby aguardofhonour,whichincluded manyleadingpublicmeninEngland. And'itisimportanttonotethatafter theprocessionCardinalVannutelli gaveBenedictionoftheBlessedSecramentinpublicfromthebalconyof WestminsterCathedraltohundreds ofthousandsofpeopleinthestreets.

ThesequelprovedthattheArchbishophadstoopedtoconquer.Almostwithoutexceptionthedaily presscondemnedtheactionofMr, Asquith.OnSeptember14,1908,the "Times"condemnedthePrimeMinisterforactingasifhewerebackin 1829-beforeEmancipation. The "DailyChronicle"saidthatitwasnot Catholicism,butLiberalism,thatsufferedbythePremier'sact.The "DailyNews"wonderedwhoinduced thePrimeMinistertomove.Itwas aninsulttoProtestantismtosuggest thatitneededobsoletelawstobolster it.ThesamepapertoldtheMinister thatheshouldhaveknownthatEucharisticprocessionswerefrequently heldintheEastEndofLondon,and thatnobodyhad.objected.TheleadingAnglicanweeklies,the"Guardian" and"ChurchTimes."'offeredtheir

sympathytothe suffering underinjustice.

Nothingfurtherwasheardabout thelegalityofsuchaprocession,nor didMr.Asquithexplainhisreasons forintervening.Butsince1908these processionscontinuedinEngland,and iftherewasanydoubtabouttheir legality,itwasremovedlastyear, whenthe.lastremnantsoftheold andalmostforgottenPenalLaws t.ereremovedbyanActofParliment.

OfalltheReligiousOrdersnone tookagreaterpartintheconversion theIndiansofLatinAmericathan theJesuits.Protestanttravellersand writersaremostenthusiasticoverthe "Reductions"ofParaguay,where theIndiansweregatheredtogetherin settlementsbytheFathersandconvertedtoChristianityandcivilisation.

Inordertoseeatrocitiesofthis kindwemustlooktotheEnglish andDutchcoloniesintheseventeenth andeighteenthcenturies,andeven later.Thestoryoftheextermination ofthenativesofTasmanialessthan acenturyagodoesnotmakevery pleasantreading.

Whydowefindpracticallyno aboriginesinNorthAmericaandAustralasia,whileontheotherhandthe IndiansofLatinAmericaareinmany countriesthemostvirileandinfluentialpartofthecommunity?

WeverymuchdoubtiftheJesuits ofAltoPeru(nowBolivia)wereallowedtoremaininthecountryfor elevenyearsafterthedecreeofexpulsion,asisstatedintheeprospectus.

TheSpanishGovernmentbefore longhadreasontoregrettheirhigh-

handedaction,andwhentheSociety wasrestoredin1814byPiusVii.,it wassoonre-introducedintoalmostall partsofLatinAmericabythenew governmentswhichhadsecuredthe independenceofthecontinentfrom themothercountry.

Itwillnotbeamisstoquoteashort extractfromamemorialaddressed bytheIndiansoftheSanLuisMissiontotheGovernorofBuenosAires aftertheexpulsionofthesociety.

"TheFathersoftheSocietyofJesus knothowtobearourweaknesses, andwewerehappyunderthemfor God's,sakeandtheKing's:-ifyour Excellency,goodSenorGovernor,will listentoourprayerandgrantourrequest,wewillpaylargertribute."

Again:"Wearenotslavesandwe desiretosay.thattheSpanishcustom isnottoourliking-foreveryoneto takecareofhimselfinsteadofassistingoneanotherintheirdailylabours.

AnEnglishtraveller,Robertson, whovisitedthe"Reductions"in1814 givesasadpictureofthedesolation causedbytheexpulsionoftheJesuits.

TheFranciscianswhoreplacedthem hadneitherthenumbersnorthe meanstocontinuetheworkoftheir predecessors.Robertsonconcludeshis accountwiththefollowingstriking tributetotheJesuits:"Ifwelookat thegoodwhichtheydid,ratherthan fortheevilwhichtheydidnotdo, weshallfindthat,inthecourseof aboutacenturyandahalf;upwards ofamillionofIndianswereconverted toChristianitybythem,andtaught tobehappyandcontentedunderthe mildandpeacefulruleoftheirenlightenedandpaternalpastors--a, blessedlotwhencontrastedwiththe savageconditionoftheunreclaimed tribesaroundthem."

RobertsonwasnotaCatholic.
