ENGLAND'S ROYAL PAUPERS.

To the Editor of the EAGLE
In Wednesdays EAGLE May 9th.
appeared brilliant article from the
pen of Thomas J. Irwin, of Derby.
After waiting some time 10 give Don
mel Kenny at whom the communica-
tioa was aimed al opportunity to re-
ply, | find that he is not in she city
and probably has not seen the article
in question, and as | have somewhat
recovered from the daze produced by
such food of enlightened, take the
liberty of replying. In the first place
Mr.. Irwin takes exceptions to the
Prince of Wales being pictured in his
true and natural colors. Donnel
Kenny certainly is as familiar with
the pedigree of the royal paupers of
England. as was the eminent Sir Wal
ter Scott, who tells us in plain and
unequiyocal terms the kind of people
the royal family and nobility of Eng
land are derived from. Certainly
clear water cannot flow from po-
luted and muddy fount. The Prince
of Wales is scion CT the stock that
tortured the Jews, ravished and muir
dered the wives and daughters of the
SaXons, and gave shows on horseback
which would put 10 shame the per-
Torrance ola moatebank circus rider.
Scott by his matchless pen has done
much for Scotia and much toward en-
tightening humanity, let me recon-
mend perusal of "lvanhoe" TO Mr.. j.
I. Irwin. Again this Derby discrimi-
nator of knowledge says 1.-The Protest
ant religion, especially the Church of
England was established in 1890 by
William III, Prince of Orange" which
religion previous 10 that time WIS
prosecuted and put TO death in every
possible manner by the ances tors of
Parnel. The grammatical construction
of this sentence is obscure aud Mr..
Irwin does not seem 10 know that
Parnellis protestant, consequently
his ance s;ors we may logically
infer were Protestants also. This
takes much Of the poison from Mr..
Irwin's arrow, as it is fact not vet
obtsined by the standard encyclope-
dias that the Protests prosecuted and
put 10 death their Protestant brethren.
Perhaps the Appleton's would hire
Mr.. Irwin at stupendous salary to
write up historical facts for them.
His terming william, Prince of
Orange, an angel of light send by God
TO deliver the poor oppressed people"
is an evidence Of his historonic abil-
ity. but he forgot TO mention that this
"aEgel of light" brought a retinue of
coDcubines with him from Holland and
gave one them named Elizabeth Vii
lers IS, 900 sores of the peoples land
and her descendants to-day are called
noble. 1t was his mandate that d.
rected the ma ssacre of Glencoe, Scot
land, when his minions murdered the
whole clan of the McDonalds, except
two brothers who were away from
h ONE on that eventful night. For
$50, 900 he granted the infamous char
ter of the East India company, who
robbed, killed and reduced to starva-
ton millions of men, women and
children. Mr.. Irwin says we would
"make il appear that Parnell and his
followers are poor defenseless Irish
men robbed of their rights" There
is no greater struggle on the globe to-
day than the effort of ParDell 10 ex-
tort from England not liberty for Ire
land, but just and natural frame of
government for the Irish people.
The last imporian, struggle in Ire
land began with the refusal of par
Lament TO admit any Catholic, AS il

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 videned the
suffrage admitting Catholics. Then
the Irish began TO demand their own
parliament, as they had possessed il
from the time of the revelation down
to 1890. That parliament was destroy

least question about This, the Irish ele-
ment was destroying the corrupt po-
li'ical practices and relations of Great
Britain and she went to work deliber-
ately to destroy their parliament with
