aim, one single thought, the advance
ment and perpetuation of the magnificent
republic.
Is it matter for wonder that to this
favored land, where freedom reigns and
where every man moves untrameled; to
this land of free speech, free religion, free
and free farms, the oppressed
of the earth should hasten and partake OF
the bounteous privilegess
EVERY NATION OF THE GLOBE
has contributed to this mighty empire.
Every nationality is largely represented,
and, while becoming absorbed in the
grand entirety, each will naturally pre-
serve subordinate unity cemented by
the Unborn love for their old homes, for
the traditions of their childhood, for the
customs to which they were educated,
and for their old habits Of living,
while perhaps the greatest cause for
strengthening the continued brotherhood
is found in their innate and unalienable
sympathy for those of their countrymen
who remain str rigging and suffering In
the old homes.
Mingling in the closest fraternal rela-
ton with their adopted brothers in the
chosen land now so dear, they retain
their languages, their religious and many
of their old habits unrestricted, but i'm
proved and elevated by contact and mem
bership with progressive nation. In
spired by the thorough spirit of liberty
and progress, they seek to aid the adj
vancement of the nation by improvement
IN the individual and in the whole OF
their nationality. Living in such an at
mosphere they become ennobled, and IN
their prosperity and happiness
THEIR HEARTS TURN BACK
in sympathy with those who remain IN
bondage, and who have not tasted the
sweets of perfect, Independent manhood.
These thoughts were suggested while
contemplating the advancement made by
the foreign nationalities which so largely
comprise the population of this republic,
and especially in the wonderful growth
of newspapers devoted to the interests and
education of the foreign born citizens.
1t is impossible for our adopted brothers
to become at once interested in our own
peculiar social institutions, for their hab-
it's of thought vary from ours. In these
days of "organs' they require organs
oftheir own They conduct their charitable
religious and social societies on methods
peculiar to themselves, and upon the
broad, free political platform, they meet
in warm and hearty sympathy with all.
There is nothing so important to COM
munity composed of distinct national
ity, although it permeates an immense
empire as a
BROAD GUAGED DISTINCTIVE NEWSPAPER,
paper which rightly represents the con-
victions, the interests and the necessities
of its supporters. A newspaper that
stands by the truth, that unf1inchingiy
combats the wrong, and by earnest,
heartfelt effort seeks to educate and ele-
safeguarding while guiding those fol-
whom it speaks, for whom it lives and Ia
bors.
Such paper must be in the hands OF
pure, true, patriotic men, who understand
and feel the importance of the great mis-
sion they are called to. Untiring devo-
ton, judgment, integrity, courage, tact,
education, enterprise and liberality must
be among the qualifications of those vino
conduct such newspaper for such a con-
stltuency. Their power for good is in
calculable, or their power for evil is be-
yond estimate.
IN THIS BROAD REPUBLIC
there is no element, no nationality, moro
powerful, more important, than the Irish
Catholic Throughout the length and
breadth of the land are found the true,
warm hearted Irish-the most patriotic.
the most trustworthy, and the
quickest impulsed men of the ma
alton. True to the hearts
core, sympathetic and loyal. stanch in
their devotion to the land of their adop-
ton, firm in their love for the old land
Patriotism is an element of their being.
The suffering and distress of their coun-
trvmen at home, stirs their hearts, SYM
patty for all oppressed is natural to them,
and they are always ready to comfort and
rescue.
THEIR WONDERFUL DEVOTION
to. and love for the traditions of Old Ire
land, serve to bind them together even in
this distant land. They demand true,
reliable reports from the land now suffer-
ing from the tyranny and oppression OF
heartless aristocrats, and they demand
faithful statements of affairs among them
selves here. They demand the news of
the day, and the logical, thoughtful sug-
gestions of men whose impulses and in
stincts, whose sympathies and principles,
are identical with their own.
The Irish Catholics include in their
number many men of the brightest intel
Iect, competent for such task as has
been briefly sketched. Among the most
distinguished men in all professions and
walks of life in America, Irish Catholics
are found in the foremost rank. True
statesmen, earnest clergymen, brilliant
editors and eminent merchants and arti
sans.
