ENGLAND'S ROYAL PAUPERS.
To the Editor of the EAGLE
In Wednesday EAGLE MAY 9th
appeared a brilliant article from the
pen of Thomas j. Irwin, Of Derby.
After waiting some time to give Don
mel Kenny at whom the communities
tioa was aimed 81 opportunity to re-
plv. find that he is not in The city
and probably has not seen the article
in question, and as have somewhat
recovered from the dazc produced by
such food of enlightened, | take the
liberty of replying. In the first place
Mr.. Irwin takes exceptions 10 the

"make il appear that Parnell and his
followers are poor defcnselcss Irish
men robbed of their rights" There
is no greater struggle on the globe to-
day than the effort of Parnell TO ex-
tort from England not liberty for Ire
land, but just and natural frame of
government for the Irish people.
The last important struggle in Ire
land began with the refusal OF par
Lament to admit any Catholic. as il
had refused 10 admit any jew.
O'Connell took up this question,
forced himself into parliament by
showing how illogical was the British
idea of freedom, and then
with the aid of the Duke
of Wellington he widened the
suffrage admitting Catholics. Then
the Irish began TO demand their own
parliament, as they had possessed it
from the time of the revelation down
TO 1890. That parliament was DESTROY
ed by British money and patents of
and offices. There is not the
least question about this. the Irish ele-
ment was DESTROYING the corrupt po-
litical practices and relations of Great
Britain and she went 10 work deli bcr-
ately 10 destroy their parliament with
gold and honOrs. The members of
this Irish parliament. remember. were
Prote>tants; had they been Catholics
England would have substituted the
axe and disemboweling machine, as
She had on former occasions. But
they made a mistake in thinking they
could wipe away every vestige Of this
emblem of liberty. That Irish par
Lament remains in the Irish noddle
as the last and only true period of ma
tional life. There the old Ir}Al par
lament house vet stands in the city
of Dublin. and every Irish child
reads of Grattan and Wolfe Tone. and
Curran. all OF whom were Irish Prot
estants. for no Catholics were admit
ted to the Irish parliament any more
than they were admitted To the Brit
ish parliament till long years after
ward.
When O'Conneli wrung Irish cman-
cipation from England. British III
trigue was directed solely against
Catholics. The Irish obtained adj
vantage of the different reform bills
which had been passed in England
by Peel and Disralei, and lately at
