PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[July 26, 1873.
WIMBLEDON, 1873.
Volunteer Mounted Officer (Midnight). “ Hullo here ! Why don’t you Turn Out the Guard ? I’m the Field-Officer of the
I) AY ? ”
Volunteer Sentry. “Then what the Deuce are you Doin’ out this Time o’ Night?”
A FALSE ALARM.
The Bishot of Salford is too keen-eyed to lose an opportunity
of making a Catholic point. He has been referring to the Judicature
Bill, and, after stating that a tribunal which is not ecclesiastical is
to decide on ecclesiastical questions, he asks—
“ What does this point to? It is the absorption by the State of the
religious independence ofi'ihe Church of England.”
Dr. Yaughan was. speaking to a Catholic audience, and he was
very properly cheered. The Bishop of Fleet Street, addressing
sundry millions who are not Catholic, will, with equal propriety, he
cheered when he replies that there is no “ absorption ” of the kind.
The new tribunal will make no law, but will simply declare the law.
The new.tribunal has nothing to do with the State, except that it
will receive salaries provided by the arts of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. Judges who have received a legal and logical educa-
tion are much better qualified to expound law than are Bishops, who
have been able schoolmasters, popular preachers, or devoted country
parsons. . English Protestants will he quite satisfied with such
ecclesiastical judgments as may he given by men of the school of
Lords Selborne, Cairns, and IIatherley, and will not sigh for
spiritual judges, even if we could get men like the gracious Cullen
himself. We. do not add a mocking compliment to Dr. Yaughan
for being so kind as to interest himself in the welfare of the Church
of England, because the Bishop of Salford is a gentleman, and
not merely an able priest of Rome. jDistinguo, says that awful
Jesuit, Father Punch.
A NOMINAL SOLECISM.
There are really no Jesuits among our Parsons—he it said to the
Jesuits’ credit. They are all disciples of Loyola; those of the
Anglican clergy imagined from appearances to belong to them are
disloyal.
DANGER!
This is a serious matter. The attention of Parliament ought to
he called to it. The various Conservative Associations throughout
the country ought to meet and deliberate without a moment’s delay.
All who are sincerely attached to the British Constitution should
lose no time in openly declaring their sentiments. The Press should
speak out. The platform should not be silent. Petitions, public
meetings—every legitimate means of arousing public attention,
must be at once employed. The Third Estate of the Realm would
seem to be menaced with imminent danger. So much so, that it has
been found necessary to form a “ Commons’ Preservation Society.”
Members are shaking in their seats.
A Citadel at Command.
All Roman doctrine, Ritualists, you hold,
Except the Pope’s dominion o’er the.fold.
We have your word you that exception make ;
And every gentleman your word must take.
Why not, since your subscription’s a pretence,
Take your word, too, in its non-natural sense ?—
Your Reverence writes yourself D.D., M.A. ;
Why to those letters not adjoin S. J. ?
No reason can forbid but one alone—
That’s the Pope’s honesty, and not your own.
Like for Like.
At the present season hay fever is prevalent in some districts.
Homoeopathy supplies the remedy for this complaint. The natural
antidote to hay is straw. It is best taken in the form of strawberries,
of which, as all the straw they contain has only a nominal existence,
the patient need not limit himself to infinitesimal quantities, but
j can eat any amount.
