way of delivering his speech he was fire.
quently interrupted by applause:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-The other day when the
Rev. Father Stanley requested me to address this
meeting, consented on the express understanding
that would be expected and permitted to trespass
only on very small portion of your attention.
am grateful for the very great honor and pleasure of
being present at this magnificent demonstration,
which may be said to have threefo,d Significance,
yet one in heart and purpose. First you celebrate
to-day the anniversary of Ireland's patriot st Pat
rick who fourteen hundred years ago converted
refined and polished nation to the Christian faith
without shedding one single drop Of blood, faith
for which his children In after ages suffered the
pains and tortures of maryrdom, and which is to-day
the faith Of the unhappy, miagoverned isle Of the
sea- living testimony to the fact that while tyrant
governments may rue ovor, imprtson maltreat and
destroy the bodies Of men, they never can subvert
the conscience of Christians. In the namo of ut.
Patrick On these gatherings these Irishmen may
have a rardonable pride Then again. we ceie.
brate to-day events In the history Of America
In which Americans aud Irish alike rejoice
LOG years ago to-day. after suffering series of de-
feats at the hands of Gen Sullivan and his brave
volunteers, the flower of the British army covered
with shame and defeat stole out from the preciucts
of the Hub, never more to be polluted by the pres
ence of the red coated blood hounds Of liberty One
hundred and six years ago to-day, Washington
gave to his army the counters'gn "St Patrick"
The saint smiled from heaven on those who fought
for liberty in his name; and log years ago to-day,
Washington gained his first victory over the enc
mics of the republic. In this light this st. Pat
rick's day, Americans and Irishmen, In this land
freemsn, all may join hands in saluting the patron
Of Justice liberty and Christianity.
Then, again, I believe you have another object
in this celebration which is not Of the glorious past
but of the momentous present and extending fu-
education Of the youth, that the rising generation
may be good Christians and true patriots and in
this work of educating your children, you ere full
filing the mission Of st. Patrick. If there is any
people, It is due to the fact that the present actors
ia the drama of Irish politioallfe have been taught
to look upon patriotism virtue, and virtue to
and honest convictions and fearless Independent
action. Show me people who
have ceased to love their country and will show
YOU people of little private moral or political vir-
tue. Show me people who voluntarily wallow in
the sink of ignorance and you will behold people
who have small respect for race or religion. But
let us see the nation that has care for the cutiva
ton of the mind and heart, and We will See people
who love God and country.
NY friends, to me it seems somewhat out Of place
that should be called upon to speak to you this
evening while see about me older and better quail
ICED lrlshnen, but If to love that beautiful isle of
sea- whose annals are hallowed by the iaith of Its
apostles and the blood of its martyrs, and to hate its
cruel cppressors essential attributes Of Irish
man, then indeed am I an Irishman, but If on this
anniversary OF the patron saint the book of centuries
Of her history is to be thrown open every page of
which speaks of the untiriDg constancy of her
priests and the chivalrous faith of her people, then
indeed am proud of the opportunity of raising my
humble voice in Sound of her praises even in this
hour of her trials. You have assembled here this
evening not like some OF your sister natonaties, to
aunt your ratriotic pride in the face of Amereans
not to give your fellow countrymen to understand
that you are the less American by being Irish, but
in your simple, honest and honorable
way 10 do honor to the memory of Irelapd's patron
saint and when honor the greatest bsnefactor Of
the Irish race certainly honor that dear old land
herself. which from the fulness of our hearts we
greet In the expressive words OF our native tongue,
"Ern go braugh."
Though great continent and broad ocean sep
arate us from that dear little spot the Emerald isle,
let us go back to 1t III thoughts but alas, the picture
has two sides. The same scenes greet the vision as
faded before the tear dimmed eyes of the exile on
the emigrant ship The ruined abbey with its moss
covered walls that speak to all ages of the undyng
faith of the people who reared these sanctums for
the worship of the loving God; the humble peas
ants cot with its mud walls and matched roof that
tells of the oppre ssions of foreign rule; the old
rou nd towers, relics CT q bye gone and powerful
race and the brick and stone barracks that indicate
the tyrants DO yer; the beautiful mountain slope,
upon which grows the lovely shamrock, the sweet
scented primrose and the modest dasy-humble
types of natures blessings, and the smooth fields
which once produced the bread of life for 1000
of people, now pastures Of beef for bloated arls-
tocracy.
As when many of you bid farewell to Erin's
shores her sons and her daughters just noble
and Just as virtuous for robber can steal these
precious gifts of from the Irish race but the
same tale of woe Is told aud the same signs of pow
erty and wretchedness are apparent.
Ireland suffers! Why repeat 1t? Have not CEN
turtles as they rolled by brought with them overflow
ing measures Of affection for that poor, unhappy
country, until suffering seems almost growth Of
the land But despite tho many blghts that have
passed over it, do we not every day behold fresh
specimens of Irish faith of Iri7h virtue and of Irish
valor as If to remind that though that poor land
seems almost blotted from modern history shs Will
vet arise to her ancient and pris tine vgor If such
be the casa is 1t not proper that on each recurring
st. Patrick's Day raise our voices in suppcation
and Determine on Christian like efforts for its
speedy accomplishment. And at this time, when
the Irish people are engaged In desperate struggle
to break the chains that bind them to an unnatural
step-mother, we in America should m ore than ever
be determined to aid them in that struggle for
their homes, their families and their liberties.
It Is struggle which we Irish-Americans cannot
afford to 81 entity witness. It is the struggle Of
country and of people with which we must always
be identified, long we bear Irish names and are
possessed of the hearts feelings, sympathies and
aspirations of Irishmeu. Who of us Is so cold as
not to take psrdonable pride in having sprung
