ANOTHER royal accouchmel,t has
taken place This time Prlncess Bea-
trice, wife of Prince Henry Of Batten-
burg, has given birth to q son. This
child will be another ward On the tax
payers of Great Britain and ireland.
When his royal father became engaged
to the princess he had not enough
money to purchase his wedding outfit,
but like many more OF the pauper
princes of Europe he is now supported
by the hard earned money Of the British
taxpayer. Although the royal infant
will draw money from the British ex-
chequer, into which Ireland contributes
her share, it will just as SOON as it is Ca
pable of doing SO, sneer at the Irish peo-
pie, and all of her majesty's subjects,
Just the same Els if it were noo a pauper
and the offspring Of pauper. n very
amusing circumstance in, connection
with the birth of this child, was the
fear that it would not live. Perish the
thought! & grandcllild of the reigning
sovereign so obliyious to its own inter
ests as to yield up the ghost No! no!
II will live and multiply the number of
paupers, which year after are vampire
like sucking the life's blood from the
poor people who are living under the
rule of that despotic znonarchia} system
of government.

A CONTRAST.

What q contrast between the cour-
teous receptions rendered Michae!
Davitt and Justin Mccarthy through
out Canada and the "howling mob"
which greeted the Rev. Firebrand Kane
and his accompiice, the Coclzney 1,aw-
yer SmitL. Both Of the former gentle
men are known to be perfectly honest
and sincere Mr. Dayitt, who has had
to contend witt. the hardships incident
to early poverty, is q nan OF great abil-
ity, high culture and great force of char
acter. He is an able writer and essay
list, an ELOQUENT and convincing speaker,
and has won distinction even more by
his originality, his unseliishness and his
singieness of purpose than by his intel
lectnal powers, great though these are
Long before Mi. Justin Mccarthy EN-
barked upon the troubled sea OF poIiti-
cal, and particularly Irish political, Life,
he was known as a great newspaper
writer, an essa yist, novelist and hlsto-
rian. His 'IHistory Of Our Own Times
is, in style, and matter, one.of the great
est literary productions of ths age Con-
else, clear. thoroughly historical i'll
style, blending philosophy and co;lsti-
tt,tional comment ski]fully with facts
it has been read and admired by every
body. When Mr.. Mccarthy found in
Mr PaYnell the leader for whom he had
looked long and almost hopelessly, and
Joined the little band who waged CON
stitutlonal wsr for Irish independence,
all parties felt that the Irish National
cause was no longer us desperate as it
had previously seemed.
During every lecture delivered by The
one armed patriot and the celebrated
historian the Irish case Was SO clearly
presented that what Home Rule means
can no longer be misunderstood. They
have advocated Ireland's claim to an
Irish Parliament with a force and abil-
ity which could not be excelled. They
have spoken with authority for the mil
lions whom they truly represented.
at Kingston, Ont, the <'Derry of
Canada" Mr., Mccarthy was rendered 8,

Protestants than Catholics, & convincing
proof Of the progress the Irish ca use is
making in the minds Of all fair-1ninded
and justice-loving men. Among those
vino were present was Principal Grant
of Queens College. This gentlemen, TO-
gether with the others present, assured
Mr., Mccarthy of the sympathy existing
througl,uut Canada for Home Rule.
It was in Kingston, some few weeks
ago. that after the lectures by Rioter
Kane and Flunkey Smith, resolutions of
sympathy with Ireland were passed, mot

THE demise of Charles Francis
Adams at Boston last Sunday removes
from the political stage one who has
been for many years conspicuous fig
ure in the United States. That MI.
Adams was q man Of great ability, no
one will deny, but he was a man who
was prejudiced Oh great many ques-
tions. That he was no friend OF the
Irish people. goes without saying. His
actions in the Smith O'Brien afail
proves this. MIR. Adams was the son of
one President and the grandson of an
other, and he himself might have been
sent to the White House, had he taken
pains to conceal his prejudices. But
let us be charitable with the dead, and
give him credit for at least beings man
who was not hypocritical.

IMPORTANT news comes from The es-

Thomas 2. O'Connor, in his cable dis

live side by side. The Loyslists have
been hard at work among The Protest
ant tenants to persuade them TO oppose
the popular movement. 81 here. too.
Loya}ists and Nationalists, Protestants
and Catholics, have forgott,n their old
time divisions, and joined sogether in
adopting the Nationalist plan OF COM
bination against unfair ren ts. There
is renewed Jalk Of a moveme nj against
Castlereagh. Everything, in fact, goes
more rapidly against the landlords
than at.any time in the hist Try of tho
contest Of tenants against Ian ilordism
in Ireland. The Liberal leaGers look
on perplexed at the surprising growth
Of an organization such as tie world
has never before witnessed. They will
gladly welcome the day when Lord
Randolph Churchill finds himself
face to face with the problem of coer-
cion for Ireland. 1t is com ng fast.
The attidute Of Mr.. Glaostole in the
present state Of affairs seems to have
troubled tie minds of many. 1t will
reassure the friends of Home Rule to
learn that he is more determined than
ever t. hold fast to the PRINCIPLES Of
Irish politics to which he stands
pledged. The right honorable gentle
man looks Slightly pale, but is enjoying
the best ot health and spirits. The
storm SO long breaking againt Church
i'll is likely to burst soon. One of the
first signs Of the coming rupture is
found in the columns of The Standard
to-day, where Lord Randolph is PLAIN
ly called "a 1emagogue' one Of the
most frightfully scornful epithets a
newspaper can bestow on public man
in this country. There is hot talk Of d
revolt in the city among the supporters
Of the government, and Salisbury is ap-
pealed to in unusually strong terms
to- disown the impudent young Radical
he has so unfortunately for the ortho-
dox wing Of the party brought into
position Of high responsibility in the
government of the country. The cessa-
ton of Irish-American traffic caused by
the withdrawal OF English mail steam
ship lines from Queenstown comes to
increase the confusion and difficulties
OF the government. All classes OF
Irishmen have Joined in denouncing the
blow to Irish trade involved in this ex-

THE OUTLOOK FOR IRELAND.

From recent utteranceS THAT have
fallen from the lips OF Lord Salisbury
one is naturally led to the belief THAT
lre!and will obtain no concessions OF
ahat exceptional character which alone
will meet her needs, and with which
alone she can be satisfied, from the
y,resent Cabinet If anything was re
eyaired TO still further strengthen this
belief it could be found in the dismlssaj
OF Sin Robert Hamilton from the post OF
Under Secretary in Ireland. This ac'
ticn on the part of the Salisbury Gov
eYnnaent is generally accepted as q ilrst
step in the direction of g more vigorous
ualicy and the Inauguration OF new
regime. The height Of Sir Roberts
wrongdoing was that he was friendly TO-
wards the Irish people, and, it is sald'
assisted Mr.. Gladstone in drafting his
Nome Rule measures. It is intimated
tnat Lord Salisbury does not intend to
step at Sir Roberts dismissal. Every
1sne who has in the past expressed SYM
pathy with the Irish people in their
rieyances will be removed from office.
1t is believed that when the Tories have
ssp9eeded in doing this every effort will
be prs forth to crush the spirit of the
unfortunate Irish people. The success
ors to those who suffer removal will be
instructed to merc!lessly crush every at
tempt to resist evictions. 1t is also a
significant fact that the troops now sta
bloued at ''the Curragh," Athlone and
dublin have been reinforced and or
SSered to be in readiness for civil and
military duty during the winter.
The question now arises, what opposl-
Sion will Lord Salisbury meet with in
enforcing this iniquitous policy The
tenants so far have not acted de1antly,
s,ut purely defensively. They are fol
Rowing tie plan laid down by United
lreland, which has been previously out

are gaining fresh accessions to their

themselves that the fortune Of the bat
hle has changed that victory is on their
side at last They are fighting the last

TIE Socialistic demonstration in
London last Sunday is only more evil
dence of the extreme discomfort that
pervades the ranks Of the working
classes in England. Up to few years
ago, the press of London would have
stated that such gathering was com.
posed of Irishmen, but they can no
longer deceive the public III this way.

HENRY GEORGES NATIONALITY.

a subscriber to The IRISH STANDARD

Of this paper something that will decide
a controversy witt, friend senle time

family Of Henry George, the great labor

father, Mr. Richard George, was, forty
or more years ago. q well-known pub
Usher of books in that city. In the lat
ter part of the past century and the
opening years of the present Mr..
Georges grandfather (and also his
granduncle we think) commanded YES
sells sailing from the port Of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Henry Georges mother was
a Miss Valentine, a daughter or a
granddaughter of an engrayer of that
name, who engraved and signed some
of the plates in "Mayo's Ancient Al
las,n published in Philadelphia some
seventy or eighty years ago. From her
family came the name Of Mr.. Valentine
George commonly called VAL
GEORGE, Henry's brother, who is we'll
remembered in San Francisco. So that
Mr. Henry Georges family have re-
sided in America for three OF four gen
erations at least. The name OF the
grandfather will be found in the Di-
rectory Of Philadelphia for the year
1906. The family resided for many
years on Third street, in the old dis
trict of Southwark (where Henry and
most of his brothers and sisters were
born) and afterwards on Ninth street,
between Catharine and Christian.

is given, can rest assured that Mr..
George is not an Englishman. Whether

The report Of Mr.. Arthur O'Connor,
Nj. T. for East Donegal, one of the
Royal Commissioners appointed TO in
vestigate Che cause Of the prevailing de-
preston in Great Britain, is Z, very i'll
teresting one indeed, to the people Of
America as we'll as Of the Old country.
The report confirms the opinion that so
long as the farmers of Great Britain and
Ireland have to pay the rentals they
have to pay to the landlords, they will
never be able to compete with the OWN
ers of the soil in America and SO long
will the depression OF British trade and
the decline Of everything British con-
tinue. He says substantially that the
amount paid for the use Of land in the
agricultural and Industrial centers of
the Kingdom forms q constantly in
creasing burden on the Industries OF the
country. The mining royalties also are
excessive. The farmer gives more quar-
ters Of wheat, the manufacturer more
nails, the miner more tors OF: coal or
iron, III the discharge of legal obliga-
tlons thaa were contemplated by either
lessor or lessee in the contracts made by
them. Mr.. O'Connor attributes the de-
preston in trade TO these causes. He
quotes Caird to show that II est, cheese
and butter, like wheat, will be brought
from America at lessening prices, in
consequence Of the strained condition
Of British industries. and he takes
gloomy view Of the prospects of the
farmers, whose capita! aad stock are
gradually diminishing to nleet the ex-
cassive demands made on them over and
above their producing capacity.
