The rioting i'll Belfast has q peculiar
ity connected with it that is worthy OF
notice. It has always been the boast OF
England that her military arrangements

this particular instance do not appear to
be able to restore order in the North OF
ireland, and save the nation from a
bloody strife. There is a striking con-

Anarchist uprising in Chicago. In the

handful Of brave policemen Jumped INTO
the breach, and although some OF them
lost their lives, they succeeded III I'M

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

The opening of the British Parliament
at Westminster on the 18th inst, was
not an interesting event viewed from any
standpoint, although it is undoubtedly
the beginning Of a session the proceed
ings Of which will be watched with more
than ordinary interest by the eyes Of the
civilized world. The Queens speech
was brief and non-committal, at least
in so far as the Irish policy Of the new
Government is concerned. She says on
this point ''The session Of the last Par
lament was interrupted before the OF
binary work Of the Househad been COM
pleted in order that the sense of my peo-
pie might be taken on certain important
proposals with regard to the govern
ment of Ireland. The result Of that APP
peal has been to confirm the conclusion
to which the late Parliament had come. :"
Simply this and nothing more, is the
reference made to a subject agitatiDg
the greatest minds Of the universe. The
Parnellite party are consequently I'M
able to draw any definite conclusion as
to the precise policy which will be prr-
sued towards the people whom they
represent, and they tookno action in the
matter further than holding a meeting
at which they decided to eudeavor dur
ing the debate III the Commons on the
Queens speech to learn the intentions
Of the Government in regard to Ireland.
The situation as 1T now stands is simply
this: Issthe Tory party, composed OF
and led by aristocrats with hostile feel
ings towards Ireland, or the Liberal
party, headed by Gladstone and COM
posed almost entirely of men Of the peo-
pie who desire to see justice
done to Ireland, the stronger OF
the two. just now it would ap-
pear that the Salisbury Churchill Gov
eminent is not in very healthy condl-
ton, and if this proves to be the case it
is not at all likely that they will en-
deavor to enforce coercive measures TO-
wards the Irish people.

UNITED WE STAND,

The IRISH STANDARD has always adj
vocated harmony and unity in the ranks
OF the Irish people who are now fighting
the battle of elf-government. BY dint
Of perseverance and union ireland has
forced England to acknowledge that
Dublin Castle rule must be modified
Union at home and abroad among the
members of the Irish race was the lever
which effected the remarkable change
that has taken place within q few years
in the attitudes and views Of British po-
Utica! parties on the question Of local
self government for the Emerald Isle.
Unanimity of purpose is, Ill fact, the
sine qua non Of success in the great na-
tional object towards which all honest
Irishmen are aiming. Without that,
the Irish people will again become an
awkward squad, There Will be no con-
centration and therefore no victory. The
Chicago convention evidently took this
into consideration, and the result Will
doubtless prove satisfactory to all who
advocated the policy OF harmony and
united action. A split in the Irish party
or revolt directed against Parnell
would be a suicidal policy, and one
that would have the effect OF alternating
many of Ireland's most consistent
friends, Let unity Of purpose be the
watclAword, and sucsess will most as
sursalv crown our efforts III behalf of
reland.

TIE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The Chicago convention, composed OF
representatives Of the Irish National
land League Of America, adjourned
Thursday evening, August 10, after a
brief session of two days. AS we antacl-
mated harmony was the order Of the day,
and it will doubtless be gratifying to
Mr.. Parnsll and his colleagues when the
Delegates from the Irish National
League return to him with the olive
branch on which are inscribed the
words. ssIrishmen in America are with
you.'' Notwithstanding the fact that
several papers not friendly to-
wards the Irish cause have magnihed the
significance Of few hot words OF no
consequence that passed between Nh,
Fin,,erty and Mr. Dagitt, yet the work
Of the convention was almost perfect
throughout, and more than realized the
expectations Of the most sangulne.
Every delegate to the convention APP
pe,.ced to never lose sight Of the fact
that there never was time in the his
terry Of the Irish people when unity and
moderation in tho conduct ct their al
fairs we're SO necessary for success as at
the present day. The whole question Of
tb, Immediate SUCCESS or failure Of the
national cause entered largely into their
leliberutions. The dynamite sentiments
which the British Tories fondly hoped
would be expressed and advocated were
not even limited at. The delegates were
not animated by spirit Of revenge for
the wrongs OF the past all that they
asked was Justice for Ireland. in the fu-
lure, not iactiously nor yet crlnglngAy,
but firmly. The result Will rebound to
their credit, and the scheme of stirring
I'D the Ulster animals. concocted by the
Tories with the hope Of upsetting the
equaninlity Of the Irish i'll convention,
missed fire.
We would be very negligent indeed
were we TO fail in giving credit to the
I,ish delegation for the part they played
in the convention. In their speeches
they left no stone unt1lrned, SO that the
exact situation of ireland at tbs present
time might be thoroughly understood,
In doing this they have left a pleasing
on the minds of the Amerl-
can public that can only be erased by
time.
One thing is certain, MIR. Parnell
need have no fear but that in the future
he will receive just as great and sincere
from the Irish Americans
as he has in the past.

The debate on the address in reply
to the queens speech was continued in
the House Of Commons Wednesday.
Sir Thomas Esmonde: Home Ruler,
dwelt upon the hardships Of the Irish
farmers. William Redmond, Nation
alist, said it was useless to discuss a
land settlement now. The question
was whether landlords would be al
lowed to evict tenants for not paying
impossible rents; whether the English
would allow the Irish to be cast into
the roadside during the coming winter.
Ii the result was bloodshed, misery and
outrage the responsibility would rest
with the government.

movement worthy of your confidence
and entitled to claim your continued

his colleagues from cloud not larger

PI0Us BROTHER JOHNsTON's VAIL

The Orange Sentinel is the organ Of
the Orangemen in Canada, and is
printed in the Aourishing city OF To-
ronto by Brother Ned Clarke. Recently
Brother Ned received letter from
Brother Johnston, Of Ballykjlbeg fame,
and, rs the Irish Canadian remarks, it is
worthy Of the great Ulster loyaiist. 1t
breatles not only deep fraternal love,
but religious spirit peryades the letter,
which places Brother Johnston in a
pious and edifying light. Referring to
telegram recently forwarded by the
Grand Lodge Of British America, prom
Using to stand py the brethren as home
with men and means, Brother Johnston
remarks cit afforded unmixed graft
fcation to all loyalists and made d
profound impression" Evidently Bro
ther Johnston is very gullible person,
or he would not be so easily led to be-
lieve that the ''men and means' which
the Grand Lodge Of British America
would furnish could afford him any as
sistance in his murderous work. Ca
madam Orangemen are not possessed OF
the means in the first place, and they
are too great towards in the second place
to advance this arch hopocrite's cause
even one step. Brother Johnston is en-
m
thusiastic in speaking Of the new Tory
Government, and writes pathetically
(and hypocritically) that cit is the most
Protestant one we have had for IL long
period. But the ceaseless activity Of
Jesuitism can only be bafled by con-
slant watchfulness and work, directed
by faith and prayer" The pious Or
angemen of Belfast, which Brother
Johnston represents, certainly have
great faith in the efficacy Of prayer, as
will be observed by their actions during
the past two months. Their modus
operandi Of prayer smacks somewhat Of
the original, but it matters not to the
bloodth1rsty Obstetrics whether the civ
ilized world call their murderous atroci-
ties riot or prayer. This explains the
hypocrisy Of the Ulster Orangemen.

MIR. .REDMONL'S POLIUY.

Possibly none OF the speeches deliv-
cred at the recent Chicago convention
was delivered with more telling effect
and contained more wholesome truth
on the duty Of the hour than that Of Mr..
Redmond, NJ. 2. for Wexford.
The greatest glory Of their nation, he
said, was that The Irish people, driven
forth from their own land and coming to
this, rude, ignorant and poor, have yet
been able to take an honorable part in
building up tlaefortunes Of America, and
under free constitution could become
worthy citizens Of their adopted coun-
try. ''But Irislmen,'' continued the
speaker, ''of this great republic are 10
less American citizens than Irish Ma
tionalists Hence it was that the Irish
people are at home in this great repub-
lie. 10 stand then at this great conven-
ton, especially as we do, as the repres-
entatives of the Irish people at home, is
Il great, a supreme honor which we can
never oyerestimate, and can never be
forgotten. But it is also all honor that
bears with it an almost overwhelming
sense Of responsibilities OF showing
to you that the men who are guiding
this movement are worthy OF you conf
dence and entitled to claim your contln~
ued support. Are the men who are
guiding that movement entitled TO your
continued support? That can only be
answered by the declaration that we are
animated by the same hope and guided
by the same principles as yourselves, and
in the second place that that policy in
the past has been wise, honest and sue
cessful one. Now, what is the one great
underlying this movement? 1t
is the unqualified recognition Of the dis
tinct nationality Of Ireland. We are not
working for the removal Of grievances.
We are not simply laboring for the am
elioration of the material condition of
our people, If ireland in the past had
abandoned principle she could easily
have bartered her national rights
to England and in return OBJ
tanned a certain amount of material
prosperity. The principle at the back
of this movement to-day is the same
principle which formed the soul Of other
Irish National movements in the past
rebellion against the rule Of strangers.
It is the principle which Owen Roe
O'Neil indicated OF the Blackwater-
the principle which inspired Tone and
Fitzgerald and for which Enmet sacrl-
feed his life. tat this point the entire
audience stood up and cheered itself
hoarse. But let no man desecrate that
principle by fitting to it the unholy
name of race hatred to England. Race
hatred is at best an unreasonlng pol
icy, and we are engaged now ID
struggle, not for revenge for the past,
but Justice for the future.
The speaker said he believed it was
possible to bring about settlement
honorable to Ireland and England alike,
whereby peace and prosperity might DO
obtained.
