HIBERNIANS. The two divisions at Portland, Ore.,

The Monitor—New Jersey. If it is true, as a contemporary al

leges, that the Irish Race Convention in New York City "received very scant notice in the Catholic press, scarcely a dozerr papers giving any account of it, and more than half taking no no­tice of it whatever," it only goes to show how weak and inadequate are the agencies for the gathering of news which our Catholic papers possess.

This convention was the largest Irish convention ever held irr the Uni­ted States and the delegates came from all sections of the country.

These facts should claim a news re­port even from a lame press.

The metropolitan papers did not fail to give large space to a report of the Convention. Most of them also had editorial reference to the Con­vention and its sentiments. And it did not detract from the merits of the Con­vention that the ultra-English papers of New York were bitter in their comment and attacks upon it.

THE VALUE OF TIME.

How much is time worth in this age? A railroad has just completed, at a cost of $12,000,000, a viaduct a half-mile long which furnishes a for­ty-mile cut-off in its route from New York to Buffalo. The saving in time is but twenty minutes. But freight trains will save an hour on this same stretch, and the grade has been so materially altered that two engines will now do the work for which five were formerly required.

The Holy Faith Sisters in Dublin care for t!00 children and are entire­ly dependent on voluntary contribu­tions.

Padriac Colum, the Irish Catholic poet, is now a member of the staff of the New York Post.
