Gas the British Government i'll Ireland
is sustained by many persons who exer-
else considerable intiuence-and notably
bv those eminent clerical dignitaries who
regard it as the best-balanced constitu-
ton and government in the world'-it IS
proper for US, who are seeking some
method OF improving the condition OF
our countryncn in Ireland, to trace this
constitution down to its workings among
the common people. Take, for example,
the illustration given in the County
Westmeath the other day in the seizure
of ten men by the police. clapping them
into prison without accusation, Ind!ct-
ment trial, Judge or jury keeping them
there until Judge Whiteside came round
on his winter circuit. The judge asked
why were those men kept imprisoned.
The inspector OF police replied that, I'M
der the Peace Preservation Act, the po-
lice were endowed with the power to
seize any one whom they suspected OF
evil intent. VERY good,' says the judge !;

touances in this country, humtugs. For
finding out a mans intent we back a

ago. In our judgment the time would
be most suspicious for the holding OF
such convention which would give to
the world declaration Of the principles,
views and resolve of the Irish in this
country in regard to English rule in Ire
land.
Such a declaration, indeed. would be
but a poor burlesque on the glorious
declaration which was illuminated from
the same historic spot hundred years
ago, if it was not followed up by inaugu-
rating policy which would be in har-
mony with the sentiments expressed aud
by organizing a national society which
would labor to carry out that policy.
We believe that ut no time has the de-
sire of the 1rish-American citizens to
wrest their mother land from the grasp
Of England, been more intense than at
present. that with the spread Of enlight-
ment comes more fully the knowledge
that the continued subsection OF Ireland
is stigma upon our race that no posi-
ton here can obliterate, and that to free,
ourselves from it, we must tree Ireland,
Then, and not till then, can we say to
this people among whom we nave cast
our lot, we are your equals.
But this feeling, SO general, is not adj
equately represented by any existing or
ganization; no organization at present
existing, in this county, commands the
confidence of the majority OF the Irish
people here. In saying this we have
no idea Of throwing any slur upon pres
ent organizations, we are simply stating
tact which we deeply regret, and
which we think could be remedied by 4
national convention.
Let the moral force men and the revo-
lutionist meet there on common ground,
love for Ireland, let each OF them, give
up some of his pet hobbies for the sake
Of unity. That's the present need.
Whatever the policy might be, with
unity it would be successful. ''But, that
is impossible" some may say, you can
not get the Irish to unite" complete
unity is not to be found among any
people, there were tories here as wei
as patriots hundred years ago.
1t isa SANDER at the present time to
say that the Irish cannot be united. We
are united in the desire to right the
wrongs of Ireland, we have among-t US

M,NNESOTA'S GROWTH.

1t is gratifying to witness, even al TINS
early period Of the season, the large IN
tlux OF immigration into our state pecu-
liarly gratifying is it when we know that
those hardy sons Of the soil are coming
to state where muscle is capital.
where a healthy, bracing climate, gives
men tair play to swing that honest capt.
tai. and where industry, under God, Is
sure of its just reward.
We suppose there is no state IN the
u, ion that can show healthier exhibit
of growth and prosperity than our own
beautiful Minnesota, and we come to this
conclusion not because we view 1t from
too partial standpoint, but from dry
statistics.
Here are some of them.
