PL,rroRW ADOPTED.

GA reassembling Rev. DR.. O'Reilly,
chairman of the committee on resolu.
tions, submitted his report. It says:
The IrishAmerioAn people, assembled
in convention at Philadelphia, submit
to the intelligence and right reason Of
their fellowmen that the duty Of govern.
ment is to preserve the lives Of the
governed, to defend their liberty, to
protect their property, to maintain
peace and order to allow each portion
Of the people an equitable and efficient
voice in the legislature, and to promote
the general welfare by wise, just and
humane laws. We solemnly declare
and cite unquestioued history and the
universal knowledge Of living men to
testimony thereof. The report proceeds
to arraign the English government with
INSTRUMENTATION, violence, rapine,
discrimination against the liberties OF
the Irish people.
Now, therefore, in view Of these facts,
BE Il Resolved by the Irish American
people, in convention assembled, that
the English government in Ireland,
originating in usurpation, psrpetuated
by force, having failed to discharge any
of the duties of government, never
having acquired the consent of the gov.
erned, has no moral right to exist in
Ireland and that it is the duty of the
Irish race throughout the world to sus
tain the Irish people in the employment
of all legitimate means TO substitute foi
il national state government.
That we pledge our unqualified and
constant support, moral and material
to our countrymen in Ireland IN theil
efforts to recover national self govern
ment and, in order the more etfectu
ally to promote this object, by the

But let him tell his troubles as he told
an ARGUS reporter. Il went over TO
Davenport and persuaded Sister Miles to
send her girl, Hammer, over to dean up
the house and cook. She would come
over in the morning, and go back of ev-

along real nice, and l was just hoping
the old gal would stay away three months,

Josephine Hammer was washing the
dishes when the old lady came in. She
glanced around and yelled OUT
What for you heah, Hannah Miles,
Keeping house for Mr. Jones, while
you were away
The old lady didn wait for no more
explanation, but just pitched in. If you
had been there and seen it you'd thought
that she had boxed up one of them

and let it loose in the house.
The chairs few one way. the table an
other, and she was throwing out the bed.

you and Hannah" asked the ARGUS man
Pom my soul there wasn't | done
nuthing but chuck her under the chin

and say, Oh, don't. Mr. Jones' That's
as far as we ever went, and ifsthe old gal
had staid away three months it would
have been the same But Ill meander
up that way again about Sunday. and |
