HISTORY FOR MRS. LEASE

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
SIR: In your issue OF the 18th inst.
I saw something in the shape of let
ter from the pen OF Mrs. Lease, of
Wichita. Mas. and a requested will
cnleavor to answer. Permit me to
inform this lady that the Protestants
of Ireland are too loyal To crown and
country. t. the mai8tainancc of peace
and harmony Ia be found in league
with the disreputablc nationalists, be
nighied lanh-leaugucrs and boycottcrs,
all illegal organizations under Parnell,
Healy and O'Bricr for the supper, of
dynamitcrs and invincibles, class Of
cui-ihroat fueitivcs from Justice. from
every walk of life and shade OF human
society. They have always took pleas
ure in atnnin@ upon blood and butch
cry. 1t can Toe traced up TO them since
the wear 1898, which by the .'gunpow-
der plot" they tried hard 10 blow Pro-
iestamiiSm from of the face of earth.
! am well read on the history of all
the Irish patriots referred 10 by the
lady, Carran, Cation. O'Nicll, Emmett
and O'ConnclI, all of whom were per-
secuterr of the Protcstants of Ireland.
Their clans murdered tens of
thousands of the Protcstants.
burned their churches to ashes
and more horribly yet they
severed The little innocent infants
from their mothers breasts and car
ried them on pixies and spears, shout
ing Scotch patriots. and still this
didn't quench the thirst of the blood
thirsty dogs. but they gibbctcd the i
mothers who " ould not swear to them
that they would shoot their poor per
secuted husbands, if they would ever
return TO their homes. Remember in
some OF those DAYS the Protestants
could not abide in their homes, those
who were not assembled in little
armies defending their faith mad 10
abide in caves, glcns and secret
places, rs had the prosecuted coven-
antcrs of the Fifteenth aud Sixteenth
century.
The claws OF Dan O'Conneli cropped
the ears and toes OF the Protcstants
because they would not join him III
demanding separation from England.
O'Conncll tried many schemes 10 take
ireland. BY night was the only way
it could be taken. he said, and then it
couldn't be taken without numbering
query Protestant ia The country. And
hundreds of them met with midnight
murders. When all these plans failed
O'Connell. he gathered e2,voo from
the Roman Catholics of Ireland to buy
steam engines from France 10 make
men by steam to fight England. But
in this effort he failed. So will Mrs.
Lease fail to find reliable
history that will call Irish
Parnellitc< tNationalistsl angels
Permit me To inform this lady that
the Prince of Orange did not come 10
England 10 do mischief. but he came
to the delivcrancc of the prosecuted /
Protestants of Ireland. Scotland and /.
England. and ON his banpcr was writ

Orange secured great victory in be-
half of civil and religious liber;y-se-
cured 10 conscience its right, and 10
three Kingdoms their independence
Preceding instructions Of | i>h
Roman Catholics had attracted the
sympathy of Popes. They encour-
aged the Spanish invasion nf
Munster during the reign of
Elizabeth. the rebellion of O'Niell in
Ulster, at later date: and the conspi-
racy so diSasterous TO the Protcstants
in l641. might say that il was. how
ever. at Rome that James: the Second.
had publioally and privately declared
his intention Ito reconcile the King
doms of England, Scotland and Ire
land TO the holy 'See,' from which
they had for more than an age fallen
off by heresy." He and his agents
were laboring TO undo what had been
done at the Reformation. But the
Prince of Orange turned his line and
left England, Scotland and Ireland
what they are TODAY. united together
in peace and harmony.
To-day old Ireland shows the ma
tions of the world what she is. Dub
