NOT Do.

any good reaton why Englishmen
now days should cherish an INDY
ing hatred, an everlasting quarrel
someness, an 0nquenchable thirst for
bloody revenge toward the descend
acts OF those piratical people? Chris
tain principle, common humanity,
and commo sens5 would give q
prompt and emphatic negative. But
the wild Irish would be quick to take
exceptions to that negative. They
persist, against all reason, in cherish
ing that undying hatred, that ever
lasting quarrelsoneness, that un-
ouenchabIe thirst for bloody revenge
towards the British people, whom
they personify ss ths odious Saxon,
albeit the British people are q very
composite people, a compound oil
Angle, Saxon, Roman, Scandinavian,
Welsh, Scotch, Irish, Norman,
French, and many other races. This
thing is ona grand and undeniable
evidence that the wild Irish are far in
the wrong. It ia one OF the things
the Irish should not do. It emscks
altogether too strong OF the bsrbaric
ages. Il is thoroughly out of char
acter with the true spirit OF the clos
ing quarter OF the ninsteenth ceI-
fury. m 3sqI -.
MalicIonsly manning or killing
neighbors' cattle is another bad.
brutal thing which Irishmen should
cease 10 do. It discredits them ia
the eyes of the whole iciyilized world.
The Bible says tho mercifuli man is
meEcitul TO his beast, and by fair in.
terence also to his nei9hboris beast.
But the base and brutal lrishmsn
goes about wilfully woundirg and
even barbarously bu.ohe.ing the
domestic animals Of those of his
neighbours who do not happen to see
things in exactly the came light al
he does. Blood-guiltiness, both as 30
man and beast, rests heavily on the
wild Irishman's soul. Not only does
he brutslly MAIN and slsy cattle. but
be rutnlessly takes the life OF
the man who owns and let's
out land in the expectation
of receiving rent sherefrom. Not
only the life Of the landowner, but
the life of the industrious. eeaoeable.
law abiding tenant. who is honest
enough to render to Caesar the things
which are C@ sar's, to pay his agreed
rent, instead Of attempting to deirsud
his landlord out of that which is his
just and lawful due. Such bloody.
miscresnts ought to be
hunted and hurried to the death
without the shadow of mercy. Such
things disgrace the irish in the face
OF the world and damn them in the
sight of heaven. These are thinesI
which the Irish should not do, for by
doing them they forfeit the sympathy
and merit the exscrstion ofthe whole
human race
mo rent" shrek the dishonest
Land Lesguers, for the emo rent"
cry is q most dishonest and sedisious
cry. As Richsrd Pigots says, it isI
hesrtlessly mslsvolent, and comes of
the evil counsels OF unscrupulous and
guides, whose motives are
greed of gain. or lust Of political
power. The ''no rent" CRY is another
form of the CRY. ''In the name of Ire.
lands woes, let's rob somebody"
The ''no rent" cry ia the attack of q
!hieyish crew upon property. II the
wild Irishmen think they can destroy
monopoly of property by such cries
IS that, let them come to America
and try it on. This is the lane
for monopolies. This is the
paradise of big monopolists. But
here the wild Irishmsn might con-
versed in time from malicious mon
opoly bsters into mercileas monop-
olists, and then how their tune would |
be changed. They would not shrek
mo rent" sny longer. The mo
rent is base. BLACKBOARD cry, and
should be forever discarded. It is
never taken up by homes. men. No
honest Irishmsn ye. ever shouted
'no rent" The mo rent" shriekers
are always thieves at heart, creatures
who want somebody else to earn them
4 living.
