Never mind" cried one of the young
men, ''if the people are false to the Repub-
licans, the Republicans must be true to the
people"
Young men have often led in the field and
at the barricade, but never till within the
last ten years in Ireland have the young
men of nation led in the council chamber
and the parliament
Twelve years ago, when Isaac Butt was
the leader of the first weak. timid and
fruitless Home Rule party. the young men
of ireland were nowhere; or, at least, those
who were Nationalist had Ito other party to
belong to than the old revolutionary socie-
ties that met and worked in secret. God
bless the faithful hearts of the old Radicals!
They have been derided and condemned,
but like the light of their eyes. like vestals
in cave, they have boarded and cherished
and fed the sacred fire of national right. and
kept it alive till the day came when it burst
out and set the country on fire.
Twelve years ago Young Irishmen had
either to become conspirators and revolu
tionists or neutrals-silent. opinionless. ma

Col. Nolan.

The member for Galway county, comes to
mind as write Of soldiers. Col NoIan's
position among the Irish Nationalist is a
most extraordinary one, and it is almost as
great credit to England as to Ireland. He
is and has been for years one of the fore
most artillerists of the English army. He
is the author of many reforms in that most
important branch Of the military service, of
which he is still an active member. And
yet two years ago this famous English az
tillery colonel was the chief parliamentary
whip of the Irish Nationalist party.

The O'Gorman Hahon.

Talking about ''oId members" reminds
me that the oldest member of the Irish
party is the romantic and historic figure of
the O'Gorman Mahon, O'Counell's friend,
who stood beside 1.-THE Liberator' on the
hastings at the Clare election in 1929, and
''sat in parliament before the reform bill. !"
In his young days, when he was captain
in the army, and afterwards colonel, the
O'Gorman Mahon was famous as wit, a
duelist, and one of the handsomest men in
Europe. He is an honored visitor at the
leading courts of Europe, and has known
during half century the leaders of all the
great nations.

most extraordinary Irishmen of his time.
and his loss to the National party is beyond
calculation. T. D. Sullivan is another of
the ''old" members, having been born in
Bantry in 1927. He has the rare faculty of
striking into burning verse the icurrent
emotions and desires of the people. and he
excels in expressing their sarcastic and
witty contempt.

great commoner, is not so exempt from the

character-a nature fitting to his ideal face.
He looks as gloomy as Hamlet, and he is
far more silent. His black hair and pale,

Dublin Freeman's journal, the most inf1u-

ability He is the son of an eminent man,
Sir John Gray, and, unlike the sons of most
distinguished men, he exceeds already the
highest reputation won by his father as

The American Mortgage Company OF
Scotland GObbles Up a Washington
County Estate

The American Mortgage Company of
Scotland GObbles Up q Washington
County Estate.
The sale of tract of land in Washing
ton county by United States Marshal
Wade on Tuesday. under an execution in
the case of the American Mortgage Com
pany of Scotland against Georgia A. Rob-
son, reported in the NEWS yesterday,
illustrates the evil effects of borrowing
money from the foreign loan companies
now operating in the South. These COM
panies are organized Tor speculative pur-
poses, and are rapidly acquiring liens on
large landed interests in this and other
Southern States. Their mode of issuin z
loans has been fully shown up in the
MORNING NEWS.
In the case of Robson, the title to the
property passes to the company, and is
totally lost to him, after he has expended
upon the estate the money borrowed from
the company. In this case it is true the
costs and interest have eaten up the COM
Pany's profits, but they have the land.
aud may Yet succeed IN getting as much
for it as they have expended.
The original debt and interest. to OBJ
tain which the property was sold. was
$3.50. The interest on this sum from
dtte OF judgment, Sept. Il, 1884, to time
of sale was $156 %; counsel fees, $49I !;
Clerks costs, $37 30: fl. IA, 81 %; MarshaPs
fees. $2j; cost Of advertising, So 80; max
ing the total amount OF charges against
the property $5,604 80.
The company bought it in for this sum
and tbereby secures the title. The land
is not worth this money now, and it may
he that the biters have been bitten.
Planters are beginning to learn that
it is wiser to operate on a small
scale than to borrow of these foreign
corporations, hoping to meet their in
debtedness by producing large crops. A
bad season or a decline in the prices OF
their products makes it impossible for
them to meet the interest when due, and
in that event they receive no mercy. The
large profits the corporations hope to
realize often depends upon this, and they
are never slow to take advantage of it.
