of the Irish cause. by identifying it with
the cause of mankind. The Irish have
been for years sthe hewers of wood and
drawers OF water" for the Democratic
party; even as the Scandinavins have
been for the Republican party. The
Irish World demands that they should
think for themselves and should put
their convictions into the ballot box.
The false leaders of the Irish have tickled
their ears tor acentury past with senses
less clamor about military glory. The
World very properly says:
We must come to understand that
what is known as.military glory is not a
great good but a great curse; that the
degradation of any part OF the human
family affects the welfare of the whole !;
that the true interests of no people on
the face of the earth are, or can be, OPP
posed to the true interests OF any other
people; that all men, of all chimes and
colors, are brethren that the energies
OF civilized men should be expended in
advancing the cause OF right, not in weav-
ing wreathes of conquest stained with
blood and blackened with crime that
this world is big enough for US all, and
that God has apportioned to each nation
its proper Inheritance and that we would
all be prosperous and happy if only
Justice were kept in sight and selfish
ness driven tar away from the hearts of
statesmen and rulers. That is the
central idea-now rising like the morn
ing sun of New Civilization-which
we men of the Irish race, with men of
all other races, must study to keep in
sight, if we would advance our own true
interests and do Gods will here below.
This is the true Christian sentiment.
The nonsense about "Glory" belongs to
the Pagan Past.
Those are just and noble sentiments.
worthy of the highest civilization. When
Ireland steps to the forefront Of the
march of reform she will have all the
oppressed of the world following and
supporting her.
The Irish World is wonderful paper
and mighty educator. It should be in
the hands of every LIishman. fit has
a fault it is that it does not sufficiently
discriminate in its denunciations, be-
tween the English people and the Englist
aristocracy of England, not its people
that has oppressed Ireland. The Eng
lish people have been ground down intt
pauperism and wretchedness by th'
same selfish misgovernmsnt. The op
pressed of both countries should max,
common cause against their rulers; ant
they should not be divided by any rae
bigotries.
But the World is doing great an,
wise work when it demands justice TO
the Irish, not because they are Irish, bu
because they are men. This is . foun
dation to build on bigger than the littl
island.

follows:
1.-The inaugural address Of President
Hayes. with the exception of the para.

the general approval and admiration of
the whole country. His declaration
"that the only safe paper currency is

is at oil times and promptly convertible
into coin." indicated clearly what is to

nature put on her universal garment OF
verdure, but still the factories were idle,
the ships rotted in the harbor, business
men failed and laboring men starved.
Then we were told that we could not
expect revival Of good times until at
ter the presidential election, that the mo-
ment that was over the nation would
bound forward once more on its old time
career of development. But the ides of
Of November came and went and brought
no prosperity.
Then we we're assured that the bliss
full era would come just as soon as the
presidential middle was settled. Well !;
Hayes was inaugurated and still the
good times refused to make their APP
pearance.
Again we were told that the financial
distress was caused by the difference be-
tween the value Of gold and greenbacks.
and that as rapidly as the premium on
gold was reduced, times would improve.
Tie charlatans forgot to mention that
this country never was so prosperous as
when the premium on gold was highest.

TIE QUESTION or THE HOUR

THE QUESTION or THE HOUR.
The issue upon which all other issues
hinge to-day, is wheather the condition
of wretchedness and poverty to which the
great majority of mankind arc condemn
ed. is or is not irremediable? Is the
productive capacity of the earth sufici.
ent to give all its children an abundance?
Do the want, the sorrow and the sin
with which the world now reeks. spring
fromthe laws, or are they inevitable undo !
any form of government Can human
intelligence which is gradually converting
all the forces of nature into servants, yet
solve the problem, so that every mind
will be educated. every stomach filed
and every back clothed in all Christen-
dom?
We believe these questions will yet be
answered in the afil native; and that a
republic is simply stepping stone to
these grand results. That way the
march of civilization lies, and that is
what the spirit OF Christianity means .
The day will come when our posteritY
will regard this age, with its swarming
suffering, struggling starving, multi>
tudes, as little better than All organized
barbarism.
A,.writer in recent number of the
Boston Commonwealth says:
