A BLATHERsKITE.

called in this country, inaliena-
BILE rights, " has been, and is, the
presence and voice of " fool
friends" One O'Donoven Rosa,
ont OF Congress, and Robinson of
New York, in Congress, is worth,
to England, an army of policemen
in keeping Pat under ban and heel,
aye, of more value to the old beef
eater than million of armed men.
inasmuch AS their vaporings nause-
ates the senses of those whose pull
ses beat in sympathy with the
longings of the oppressed on Erin's
Isle.
We read the other day, with
suppressed emotions Of Indignation
the proceedings OF Congress, in
which the blatherskite Robinson
ventilated sentiments at variance
with emanations of nobility of
character, of heart or brain.
The Senate bill granting Naval
Lieutenant L. X. Reynolds pernis-
sion to accept the decoration of the
royal and imperial order Of Francis
Joseph from Austria, for saving
eleven Austrian sailors, was called
up. Mr.. Robinson declared that
the "dudes" of the navy were con
tinually asking permission to re-
ceive decorations Mr.. Cox, of
New York, rctortcd that Mr.. Rev
nolds had been insulted by Mr..
Robinson for saving lives at the
peril Of his own. Mr.. Kasson said
the gentleman from New York
( Mr.. Robinson) was dishonoring
his own countrymen by denying
them the praise accorded them.
MIR. Robinson answered eXcitedlv
that the man who would violate the
Constitution dishonored himself.
He demanded that Mr. Kasson
should withdraw his words. Mr..
kasson retorted by saying that he
took back nothing, and that the
man who stlgmatized, with the
word "dude," a gallant officer dis
honored the navy and its officers.
The bill then passed without divi-
sion.
Now, this man Robinson, has on
several occasions, in season and out
of season, in Congress and out of
it, championed the Irish cause, and
on each and every occasion has ac-
quilted himself with dishonor and
left the representatives of his foren-
sic powers in worse plight than
they were when he espoused their
cause.
FORTY years ago Ireland contain
ed some twelve millions of people.
Now the population scarcely scales
four millions. Whyl Not because
the Irish people do not love the
land Of their birth, for they do,
and reverence it. But they prefer
living in the United States to dy-
ing IN Ireland. As the colored
people were wont to be treated in
this country, England singles out
its Irish subjects for ostracism.
The world knows it and mentally
rebels, which rebellion would long
ere this have assumed a moral
force potent enough to have forced
John Bull to mete out eyen-handed
justice to his Millesian subjects,
had it not been for the disgusting
snorting of men of the stamp of
Robinson, who, confding oa the
ignorance and passion of the exiles
who come across the broad waters
and are clothed with franchise.
shakes his fist across $500 miles
OF sea and threatens to twist the
tail of the British lion. IA the fond
hope an. conviction that he will
be rewarded by office. Robinson
is no fool, but he is a knave, an!
cares as little for the oppressed as
does John Bull, the oppressor.
