No sooner has the grand gala day tina
has usbered the State parade Of the A. D
Fl. of the Nutmeg State into history sub
sided, than our hearts and minds are re
called with q feast of reason and flow o
souls in spectacle 80 sublimely grand a:
to Overshadow everything that has proceed
cd it. Chicagos 10000 veterans send
| greeting 10 Parnell in no doubtful phrase
and with no uncertain sound. Their
ten thousand dollars contribution is
monument of their earnest de-
votiou. What say the brave patri,
otto hearts Of the metropolis of our Repub-
lie to this manifestation of unity The
prize to be obtained must be worthy the
sacrifice. 1t is possessed of the fines! eli.

European and American trade. The words
of the poet, "unprizsd are her sons, till they
learn to betrsy, uudistinguished they live
if they shame not their sires," so sppro-
pirate in the past have no meaning or
significance at the present day. Such an
array Of united talent is without parallel
in the worlds history as Ireland presents
TO-DAY. Just one year ago we read care
fully o circular signed John Nolan, VIM.
Sheridan and John ]. Reilly; not being OF
an aggressive nature We have scrupulous-
" relrained from making any CONF
ments On said circular. The constitutional
inhibition Of holding national conventions
in places other than New York must be
looked upon as an effsts relic Of times
gone By. The numerical strength of the
Order in the States 10 day appeals to the
devotion of Every honest man. The spirit
that permeated every line Of said circ llar
wss foreign in the culture and refinement
those characteristics that emsnate from
the loving source of unity. Hence we
passed over il in silence, believing that
time, which mskes all things right would
correct the evil. We VIII not enumerate
now the cherished names OF those
with whom We had the honor
to associate Sc the Philadel-
phis National convention. True men who
met and made spch honorable oyertures to
New Workers to return to the fold and OBJ
literate for even the selfish claims ofdesign-
ing men. Success crowned our efforts
and happy reunion Of hearts and hands
was the measure Of our success. Alas,
that again the sad spectacle that mars the |
integrity Of our manhood should eminate
rom the same section. At the last con-
Tention Bishop Gilmore wished to know,
Why he could not join the A. o. Il.
lie who knows that all other
Institutions on earth the soul of man can
athcm without fssr-ths church alone ex-

ooted in the eternal tides; and he who
eeks with his psltry plummet to tathom
hem seeks confusion and his own shame.
Wisely his wishes wers respected and
compatible with the dignity
f the church obtsined. We know it is not
very one that says Lord, Lord, and pre-.
ends obedience to mutual benevolent
