ning is judged in death with singular gener- New York Volkszeitung (Socialist), Jan. 15. -Cardinal Manning, who died in London yesterday, was one of those princes of the Church who well understand the importance of the Labor question to our times, and therefore seek to put themselves in touch with the new forces that are stirring society, and, if possible, to utilize them for the advantage of the Church. Manning deemed it practicable to derive benefits for Catholicism from the Labor agitation. Accordingly he was a keen observer of the movements of the working classes, and repeatedly took an interest in strikes and like manifestations. His connection with the great dockers' strike in London is an instance. with the purple. For the great Cardinal Arch-ality is almost pathetic. And last year the bishop of Westminister grief will be loudly scandal of the baccarat was largelv forgiven to expressed wherever the English tongue is the Prince of Wales because the natural interspoken. To the tenderheartedness of a woman ests and activities of a presumptive English he united the intellect of a giant. Wherever chief of State are forbidden to him, and the vice or misery dwelt his heart was there and head of the political system must take no rehis hand stretched forth in help. He was sponsible part in politics. There is, however, emphatically cast in a great mould. Those an unavoidable interest in the heir to the for whom he wrought and thought and strove British crown, were it only that a great peowill long hold him in prayerful remembrance. ple receive him, whatever personally he may Cardinal Simeoni was less known to the gen- be, as the representative of its supreme authority. The power and influence of such a tradition cannot easily be understood by another people, even although largely of the same race and history, but who do not share the monarchical tradition. Yet to no other people is the spectacle so strange as the acceptance of the most incompetent of men as a hereditary and life-long chief. The young prince whose death has arrested the attention of the civilized world was little known, and that little knowledge was not prepossessing. His death does not affect the succession of the crown, except that it descends to his younger brother, George -a change which will not be unwelcome, probably, to the English people. But with the Duke's death the young Princess of Teck's brief vision of queenly state vanishes. She had scarcely heard the "Hail, Queen that shall be!" when even the faint semblance of a crown disappears. It will be a touching allusion which the story of the time makes to her, such as that of Thackeray in his lecture on George Third to Lady Sarah Lennon. LOYAL WORDS FROM CANADA. eral world, but those brought into contact with In Catholic News (New York), Jan. 17. Cardinal Simeoni, whose death is announced simultaneously with that of Cardinal Manning, Pope Leo XIII. loses one of great ability and devotedness, a wise counsellor trained in the fields of diplomacy in the Secretariate of State and in the direction of the Propaganda. There are few members of the Sacred College possessing his vast and general experience. But deeply interested as we are in this country in the selection of his successor as Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda, we may feel assured that Pope Leo XIII. will select an able man, not hostile to our country, our Government, and our institutions, one who will not make the Catholic Church in America a toy for wirepullers and schemers. THE DUKE OF CLARENCE. Harper's Weekly, Jan. 23.-The death of He the Duke of Clarence, following so immediately his happy betrothal, produces a tender was able by this course to procure a good reputation among the London workingmen, and another result is seen in the reproachful comment in the obituary articles published by the bourgeois press, that in consequence of his sympathetic relations with the laboring people he was responsible for many strikes which would not have been inaugurated if his voice had been raised in opposition. Of course this reproach is unjustified, for notwithstanding the great respect with which his memory is cherished by a portion of the London wage-workers, no one ever conceived the idea of permitting the Cardinal to have the deciding word in the councils of labor. Naturally, the Socialists were quite as antagonistic to this prince of the Church as he was to them. They had a clear perception of the governing motives of his "friendship for the workingman," which was nothing else than a mask to conceal what was his real distinguishing animus-Catholicism. Catholic Mirror (Baltimore), Jan. 16.Death has struck two shining marks. Two princes of the Church are laid low, men owing little if any of their greatness to their official dignity, but great and noble before invested While man is growing, life is in decrease; WILLIAM C. RUGER. New York Mail and Express, Jan. 15.-The death of Chief Judge Ruger creates a vacancy in the most prominent place in the judiciary of this State. An able and fearless jurist, whose judicial usefulness may, perhaps, have been slightly thwarted by the influence of early political affiliations, he leaves an honorable record in the high office he has filled for nearly a decade. His position at the bar was such that he was selected as counsel for the defendants in the famous prosecution brought against the Canal Ring by Governor Tilden. Twice he failed of obtaining Congresssional honors. He was a delegate to the Demcratic National Convention of 1872, which resulted in indorseing the nominations of Greeley and Brown. His high standing at the bar was such that, when the convention for the purpose of forming the State Bar Association met at Albany, in 1876, he was chosen to preside over its deliberations. Early in 1882 he was elected President of the Association, and it is highly probable that his being the recipient of this honor indicated his high professional rank so clearly as to lead to his nomination in the following autumn for the exalted judicial position to which he was then elected. Judge Ruger's judicial opinions have been characterized in a high degree by profound learning and sound common sense. A close ness of feeling for the young man dead which and clear, logical reasoner, his conclusions living he had not inspired. In England roy- have generally been readily acquiesced in, and alty is so wholly a ceremony that its person-highly commended for their judicial fairness. SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY.

Lounsbury's Chaucer. STUDIES IN CHAUCER: HIS LIFE AND WRITINGS. BY THOMAS R. LOUNSBURY, Professor of English in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University.

Tunnell, Howard University, Washington, D. C. This book is the result of many years' experience in the class-room, and is intended to be a modernization of Trench on the Study of Words, keeping as far as possible the conversational tone which gave so much interest to Dean Trench's book, and embodying the general conclusions of modern philology which have been reached since its publication. The writer has aimed at making etymology suggestive and interesting to young students, and at presenting the elements of the subject in such a form as to stimulate to further investigation and lead to a more correct and literary use of words.
