IRELAND AT THE CENTENNIAL

The idea has been suggested to ms.
and We heartily concur in the suggestion
that the Irish Nationalist of the United
States ought TO meet in convention in
Phladelphia. on the Fourth OF july. and
there and then publish to tie world a
Declaration OF Independence for Ireland
There need be no fine writing abou, the
matter. 1t IS not rhetoricians, but men
OF practical good sense. that should
draw up the document. The paper
should be first OF all declaration OF
principles. The Declaration should be-
gin-as JEFrERSoN's Declaration began
with an enumeration OF the Rights OF
Man; and following this preamble, Ire.
lands wrongs should be told in a plain
and unvarnished manner. Some will
think ali this is snpertlous. L, will be
said tine whole world already knows the
grievances OF ireland and svmpa,hizes
with her, aud any formality. upon the
occasion mentioned, will be regarded as
80 much theatrical affectation. We ap-
precia,e this objection. But, although
we put As little value on ceremonious-
ness as any man. still We believe il win
be well, on that glorious day. to formal
ize the act; and this can only be done
by putting the seal Of the Irish
American millions. through their re-
representatives., upon the document. The
time will be propitious: and the Ameri.
can neople-and indeed the representa-
tives OF the whole civilized world then
in America-cannot fail to be Avnrsbly
impressed with the Declaratiou.-Irt,h

DR.. WARD m. P, AND THE LONDON

The following letter has been sent bv
DR.. Ward, NJ. P to the Standard, in re-
ply to an article which that journal pub
lished commenting on his speech at the
late Grattan dinner in London =
''Sir-ln the article on Grattan which
appeared in your Issue of the Sth l am
represented as speaking in manner
hostile 10 England. and as ''hardly for

circumstance rs showing how the gen

Grattan won even from his political op,

most honored dead. Will you kindly
permit me to point out an other error into
which the writer Of the article on Graf
tan has fallen. He states that Grattan
wished to maintain an exclusively Prot
estant Parliament in Ireland? The
slightest knowledge OF the political ca
rcer OF Grattan would have saved the
writer from this error. twas by Graz,

obtained them. You still desire order
and peace, The senators and deputies
you are about to elect must cooperate
with the President Ut the Republic to
mai ntain them. We must apply with
common accord and sincerity the con-
stitutional laws, the revision whereof l
alone, until 1880, have the right to pro-
pose. After SO much agitation, discord
and misfortune, repose is necessary for
the country, and think her institutions
ought not to be revised before they are
honestly tried. But to try them as the
salvation of France requires, it is indis
pensable that the conservative and lib
eral policy, which l always intended to
pursue, should prevail. 10 uphold it, l
appeal to union among those who
place the defence of social order, respect
for law and patriotic devotion above
their recollections, aspirations or party
engagements. invite them to rally
around my government. It's necessary
that the sacred rights which survive all
governmental changes. and the legit-
innate interests which every administra.
ton is bound to protect, should enjoy a
full security under a strong and respect
ed government. 1t is necessary, not
only to disarm those who might disturb
the security now, but to discourage
those who threaten the future by the
propagation of anti-social and revolu-
tionary doctrines. France knows that l
neither sought nor desired the power l
am invested with, but she may rely up
on my exercising it without weakness.
In order tt; fulfil, to the end, the mission
entrusted to me, l hope God will aid
me, and that the support of the nation
will not fail me. (Signed) IMAGINATION.

We do not grudge Grattan the honor
that was done I'M in Dublin, for he de-
served it both as Il brilliant master of
oratorica skill and as Il politician OF un-
blemished integrity and SOBER simplicity
OF life, ut time when most politicians
were corrupt or iactious, or both. But
Grattan's genius, though it deserved a
statue,s i! any one cares to have me-
mortal of that sort in our time, did not
deserve to be paraded rs the stalking
horse Tor Home Rule. This. however
is what has happened, and we hope that
the modern imtators OF Grattan. the
Irish Protestants who think to make u
local reputation by turning their backs
upon the English connection. will be
enlightened by the speech OF MIR. Mitch
ell Henry, though in that. AS he warued
his hearers. he was forced to be stu
diously re,icent.- London Times.
1t would seem from the above that
the Home Rule movement is becoming
formidable in the eyes OF England, wnen
the London Times thinks it necessary to
abandon its ccntemptuous treatment OF
the question and take up the old policy
the hellish policy that never failed; the
policy OF creating religious discor,i
among the people OF Ireland; tina. SO
keeping them divided they may remain
weak aud incapable OF opposing the
usurpations OF England.
And see what bosh. the Great Thuu.
derer,' England's mouth piece, can get

genius did not deserve to be paradcd as
the >talking-horse for HOME RULE
1t seems to us and would SO seem to
any rational mind. that it was the mos,
natural thing possible that those now
seeking Home Rule tor Ireland. should
be foremost in houoring the memory OF
him who won for brief period Ireland's
legislative independence.

to follow from it. We do believe that
we are all beginning to feel the inspiring
influence of the healthy revolutionary

THE IRISH CENTENNIAL FOUNTAIN.
The centennial fountain, to be erected,
in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. by the
Catholic Temperance Societies o.!
America, is Irelaud's contribution TO the
centennial
As nation she will have no recognition
in the exposition building, and in truth
what has she that is not claimed by Eng
lard, evenIto her chains?
The building is reserved for nations
that have established governments and
Ireland has not even a flag. To be sure
the green flag can float here, and it al
ways does when there is any money to
be madelout of it; but, let it wave on the
waters it has right to be seen in and it
will be very quickly torn with shot,
while the men who dare to raise it will
hang from a yard arm.
Within the centennial exposition
building, specimens OF art, Of industry,
of the material progress of the world
will he shown; outside. beneath the dome
OF heaven, leaping and sparkling in the
suns rays the temperance fountain shall
give evidence of the moral progress of
the children of her who is the rejected
among nations.
1t may be said that this fountain is
erected by the Catholic Temperance So
cietics of America; very true, but il you
take the Irish out of these societies there
will not be enough left to maks circle
round the fountain with hands joined
This fountain then is Ileland's contribu.
ton to the centennial, emblematic of her
purity. her virtue, her hopes, that ever
sparkle in the shadow as in the sunshine.
