pie and all else. They are not Ameri-
cans. They are merely foreigners living
in America, and abusing the country to
whose free institutions they owe their
liberties and political rights.
America would be much better OF
without such citizens. Her arms
open wide to welcome the nationalities.
but to welcome them as prospective citI
zens who. surrenderiDg their allegiance
to other govern ments, come to this new
world to become American citizens.
Simply that and nothing more. America
has her own flag. A flag is an emblem Of
nationality. There 10 no nation on this
continent, from the river St. Lawrence
to the Gulf Of Mexico, exceps the great
American nation. Every flag that re-
ceives official recognition in all this
broad land must be an American flag.
save such flag as the foreign oonsuls
float, by law Of nations. No public
building-municipal, state or national,
should float any other flag than the
American. The Irish flag has no more
business on the city hall In New York,
on st. Patrick's day, than the Lone Star
flag has on Dublin castle on San Jaeinto
day. Until the fact Ia established that
Irishmen would recognize the refusal
OF the lord mayor of Dublin to hoist the
lone star flag in the Mansion house as
an insult to every Texan, no Irishmsn
has a right to regard the refusal Of
Mayor Hewitt as an insult to the Irish |
race throughout the world. The LIGHT |
has ever been foremost to defend the
rights OF Irishmen. at home and abroad,
and to donounce the expressions of the
British crown. 1t has always aided In
keeping the grievances of the Irish
people before the world, and In evoking
substantial aid for the Irish leaders in
their struggle for home rule. 1t cannot
consent. on that account, to dethrone
the dignity Of American nationality and
practically deny to our national emblem
the sole right to represent American
authority and government In this nation.
Irishmen's rights can not be Interpreted
to mean wrongs and insults to American
nationality, and what is true Of Irish
men Is true Of every other race. Here
there are none but Americans.

THE facts being brought to light
concerning the death of Vaudeville,
cOnclusively prove that BalfOur was
the direct agent in procuring the
death of this man by the SLOW fortunes
of prison inhumanitles. There is
nothing in all history more damnable
than the record that BaIfour has made
as government agent, whose great
est work it would seem is to compass
the death of obnoxious Irishmen by
prison fortunes under cover of law.
No more damnable inhumanity, no
more horrible brutality, nor more
blOOdthirsty savagery has any where
been shown among civilized or bar
barian people than has been exhibit
ed by this ghOul, Baliour, who has
made the name ofjustice u kissing
and by-wOTd among all the peoples
Of The earth. His name is an ever
lasting disgrace to the English nation
and the tory party can never absOlve
themselves from the responsibility
and guilt which attaches to them in
perpetuating the power of this mon
ster in human shape.
