st. Patrick's Day.

Characteristic in the highest degree for
an intense loyalty TO all things that attach
TO the Emerald Isle, lrishmen, wherever
found, have for centuries past held in
grateful remembrance the recurring ami
versary of the day that gave birth to their
country's earliest and most beneticient
beaefactor, Saint Patrick. If, in these
later times, the day set apart for the honor
ing of their patron saint has lost some OF
the religious significance that once at
tached to il, the reason is TO be found in
the fact that those who have had to do
with it have given it over to the discussion
of questions pertaining to Irish wrongs and
| Irish liberties.
Wherever, on Wednesd ~, an assemblage
was met To do honor to him who first
christianized and civilized Ireland the
themes dwelt upon, by those who voiced
the sentiment of their hearers, were the
injuries so long inflicted upon their suffer
! ing people by tyraniCal government and
the hope for better state of affairs in the
future. The wish long INDUCED for home
rule and a just rental system, is to-day
nearer fruition in Ireland than it has been
for the past quarter of a century. Under
the discreet leadership of Parnell acting in
harmony with Gladstone, there is at least a
probability of ringing the continued
struggle for natural rights and natural jus
tice to an end. The English government
can not longer treat the people of Ireland,
either as completely conquered subjects
or AS full empowered citizens. That gov
eminent must do either the one thing or
the ether. Either the Irish in Ireland
must be granted every lawful right at
taching to British citizenship or else de-
prived of all, and subjected to the rigors of
complete military despotism. The hui
manity of the worlds best thought and
feeling will not permit the pursuance Of
the latter course, even though the aristo-
cracy of England might demand 1t. The
former must inevitably be the one chosen,
and the sooner the Bristish government AZ
preciates this fact, the better will il he for
! England and Ireland.

MEssRs EDITORS The citizens of Otta-
wa are daily 6Ored and hUmJugged by a
throng of glib.tongued t.amp solicitors to
copy and enlarge old pictures. They make
extravagant and false statements and resort
to all sorts of schemes To get possession OF
valuable old pictures of deceased persons.
They frequantly invade the resident photo
grapher's home and proceed to recite their
false assertions that OTTAWA photographers
do not and can net copy and enlarge old
pictures" With as much truthfulness
could they assert that the SIN shines better
for them lin Pittsburg or Chicago, for in
stance than for Ottawa photographers
The facts are we have four photograph gal
leries in Ottawa, the proprietors are good
citizens, pay taxes here on the investments
of our life time earnings, and are as liberal
and enterprising as our incomes will per,
nit. We employ artists and assistants
spending our earnings among our patrons
our neighbors and our friends. You car
procure as good, If not better Photographic
reproductions from old pictures of home
artists, and at prices as Io,r as good, truth
full Photographic work can be made or pro
cured anywhere, without taking the risks
of losing the valuable old pictures intrus
ted to strangers
Respectfully submitted for local mutua
good, candid thought and judicious action
