INIPNIONS

Threegreatdemonstrationswere heldinLiverpool,England,inconnectionwithCatholicEmancipation,last month.Overtwelvethousandpeopletookpart.AddressesweredeliveredbyArchbishopDowney,Father BedeJarrett,0.P.,MissNancyStewartParnell,andothers.

ArchbishopDowney,inhisopening address,saidthateverycountryhad itsstoryofemancipation,becausethe ChurchofGodhadsufferedandhad beenpersecutedthroughoutitshistory.Menhadneverlearntthegreat lessonthat,thoughtheymight,smite theChurch,mightcrucifyher,and buryherlikeherDivineFounder,she wouldriseagain.ThestoryofEmancipationinourownlandwasaparticularlygloriousandinspiringone.

Thosewerethedaysofbutchery,and wouldremainasablotonthepages ofthehistorynotonlyofEngland,but ofhumanity.

Duringtheeighteenthcentury, whenthedarknessreignedbeforethe dawn,thetyrantstiredoftheircruelty, andthosewhoweremisgoverningthis countryframedthepenallawsinan effortto-seeCatholicismextinct.The wholetrendofthelegislationwasto bringaboutthedisappearanceofthe Churchfromthisland.

Turningto"thebreakofday,"Dr. Dd/Nneydescribedthemightyefforts ofthosethreechampionsoftheCatholiccause,BishopsChalloner,Milner andDoyle,whoseaidcameatatime whenCatholicswereasmallandtimid t'body,withacausethatseemedto havebeenforgotten.

ThencameDanielO'Connell,the knightoforatory,whomadethegrand refusal,andembracedwhatwereprobablythetwomostunpopularcauses intheworld-thecauseofIreland andthecauseofCatholicism.

EducatedatSt.OmersandDouai; O'ConnellcametoEnglandonaccount oftheFrenchRevolution.Suchan impressionhadtheRevolutionmade uponhimthathedeclareditalmost madehimaTory."Thatwillgive yousomeideaofwhataterrible thingtheFrenchRe*volutionwas," addedhisGrace,amidmuchlaughter.

AlthoughfullyqualifiedatLincoln's Inn,withagreatcareerbeforehim, andtheprospectsofhonoursand wealth,O'Connellchosetobethe championofadown-troddenpeople, andtobelookeddownonanddespised evenastheywere.Underhisconductorshipthecampaignbecamere-

FatherBedeJarrett,0.P.,referring tothebreakdownofintoleranceand thewinningofEmancipation,saidfreedomwasnevergiven;ithadalways tobeextorted.CatholicsgotEmancipationbecausetheywonit,andit wasthroughO'Connell-thefirstpoliticiantorealisethepowerofthepoor -thattheywonit.Withallhis greatpowersofinvective,hewonfreedomforCatholicswithoutthesheddingofasingledropofblood.He extortedfreedomfromareluctant Governmentbyweaponswhichdidnot discardthelivinglawsofChrist.

ThoughCatholicswonthefreedom topractisetheirreligion,theoldcalumniespersisted,andtheyhadnot realfreedominthepublicmind.They hopedfortheconversionofEnglanl, butwhatwasneededfirstwasthe conversionofpublicopinioninEngland.

Thathadbeentheworkofthepast hundredyears,beginningwiththe comingofthefirstFrenchemigre priests,continuingwiththeIrishimmigrationconsequentonthefamine, withFatherMathew'stemperanceerasadeinEngland,withtheOxford Movement,andwiththerestorationof theHierarchy,headedbyCardinal Wiseman.

CardinalWisemanstoodinthepubliceyeasagreatlinkwiththepast, and,despitethedisturbancecausedby therestorationoftheHierarchy,there cameintopublicopinionasortofsympathywithCatholicsandadyingdown ofintolerance.ThesympathyofCardinalManningforeveryoneindistress helpedtoconvertpublicopirAn,and thatwasthefirstthingnecessaryto theconversionofEngland.

Thencametheworkofthegreat CardinalGasquet,whichforthefirst timeinpublicestimationmademen doubtwhetherthefantasticalnonsense aboutCatholicswithwhichtheyhad beendrenchedsincechildhoodwere notinfamousanddamnable.

ACatholicHopeofGermanNation.

OnAshWednesday,ofthisyear,the GermanRepublicwastenyears'old. One-halfofthetimethathaselapsed sincetheproclamationoftheRepublicatWeimaronFebruary13,1919, CatholicCentrists,Fehrenbach,Wirth, andMarxhaveoccupiedtheposition ofChancelloroftheReich.Savefor ashortinterruption,theSocialists havenotbeeninpowersince1922.The reinsofgovernmenthavebeenlargelyinthehandsoftheCentreParty. Yetoppositiontotheparty,coming apparentlymorefrompost-warrestlessnessthanfromanydefinitecause, havebroughtonacertaincrisisinits history.Itwaseasiertounitethe Centreinthedaysofitsheroicpioneers-Windthorst,Mallinckrodt,Ballestrem,Franckenstein,Mompesch,and manyothers-thaninthehourofits relativetriumph,evenwithsomany ofthepainfuldisabilitiesabolished thathadsolongrestedonGerman Catholic's.

Whenactualleadershipthenwasat stake,thepartyjudged,fromitsyears ofwiseexperience,thatpersonalmag- netismwouldholdittogethermore thanthemeremechanicsofpolitical ability.TheCongressofCologne,held inDecemberpast,felttheneedofemphasisingtheideal,theidealisticelementsintheirpartyprogramme.Socialandeconomicactivitieswouldnot beslighted,butthetimehadcomefor amanwhocouldinterpretthelofty ChristianidealsoftheCentrepartyin anespeciallyconvincingway,and couldharmoniseallelementsthat tendedtodiscord.InordertoreplaceDr.Marx,theformerhonoured Presidentoftheparty,thepartycommitteehadproposedtoentrustthepresidencytoacounselofthreemembers, DeputiesJoos,StegerwaldandKaas. TheAssemblywasopposedtothis plan.APresidentwasvotedupon, andthechoicerfellonMgr.Ludwig Kaas,CanoninTrier(Rhineland) since1924.Inthetestimonyofhis competitor,Dr.Stegerwald,Mgr.Kaas isaman"aboveallsuspicion,"aman fittocarryouttheidealofGerman Catholics,"loyaltytoGod,Church, peopleandcountry."

Mgr.Kaas,borninTrier,May23, 1881,hashadadistinguishedcareeras professorandauthorofworksoncanon andcivillaw.HerepresentedGermanyattheinternationalconferences ofLondon,Paris,andGeneva.

PreciselythefactthatMgr.Kaasrepresentednooneclass,writesDr.Otto Kunzeinthe"AllgemeineRundschau," markedhimoutastheneededleader.
