AT the first banquet given by the
British-American association last week
in Boston, one of the speakers said that
the American flag is without a blemish,
and will afford ample protection TO
every man living under it. 'slf the
Br.tish-Americans will do their duty"
said Mr.. Bradbury, Ffthey will lind the
true Americans standing side by side
with the Britons in their attempts to
wrest Boston from the corrupt foreign
rule that now prevails" The johnny
Bulls will take quite while to wrest
Boston from the rule of the Irish
Americans. The ssHub"is entirely safe
under Mayor O'Brien and bis country
men, and if the British Americans are
dissatisfied with their rule they can
come west and behave themselves.

IT is doubtful if Lord Salisbury ever

credit for possessing such stern will

SENDING a cheque for guinea to
the Tullamore Branch Of the National
League, with a request to be enrolled
as member, Mr.. Hassall, of London,
says that some years ago he was a Con-
sentative. Ireland was the first step
to his conversion. In 1878 he took a
holiday trip to that country, taking in
Dublin, Bray, Lismore, Yougha!, Glen
gariff, Bantry and Killarney. He
mixed freely with the peasantry, and
found out that the representations of
the Tories and their landlord friends
were not the reflections of the actual
condition Of things, but quite the con-
trary.

PAUPER IMMIGRATION.

In previous issues of TIE IRISH
STANDARD attention has been drawn
to the fact that very undesirable class
Of immigrants were daily arriving On
our shores. This matter is at the pres
emit time attracting good deal Of at
tention in the eastern States and also
in Canada From remarks recently
made in the Quebec Budget it seems
that Canada suffers equally with the
United States in this respect. a writer
in the columns of an eastern newspaper
showed up in their true characters a
number of the waits who are being inn
ported into this country by people sup
posing themselves to be truly chagita-
bic. This written who appeared to be
thoroughly acquainted with the subject
OF which he spoke. described many of
these waits as being taken from the
outcasts Of society, many Of whom it
is to be feared are tainted with the
seeds Of hereditary crime and distase,-
for it is well known that crime, like
drunkenness, persisted in for some gen.
erations, becomes as hereditary as
disease, and almost as impossible of
eradication. 1t may be possible with
some little difficulty, to train these
youngsters to certain amount of psalm
singing, but psalm singing will not up
root the evils Of which we have spoken,
and as soon as their charitable but de-
ceived importers turn their backs upon
them, tie old habits and influences will
make themselves felt, for as the proverb
puts it ''it is not easy to make a silk
purse out Of a sow's ear" In coun.
try like this, nothing more unfortunate
can happen than to scatter abroad the
seeds of the worst kind Of crime and
disease by bringing over here the scum
of the streets of London and Of other
large English cities. 1t is evident that
something else may become necessary
besides the cessation Of Government
aid to the importation of foreign lmmi-
grants. In addition to the abolition Of
assisted passages, some supervision OF
immigrants landed here would seem to
30 necessary. The law on this point
should be rigidly enforced.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

After q. week of wrangling the Re
publican party has arrived at the con.
clusion to offer up next November as
sacrifices On the altar of public opinion
General Benjamin. Harrison, Of In
diana, and Leyi z. Morton, of New
York city. The selection Of General
Harrison and Mr., Morton is just what
might lie expected from the Republi
can party. Both men are admirably
calculated to carry out the Republican
policy as e1lunciated in the platform
adopted at the Chicago convention.
General Harrison boasts of his blue
blood, and traces his ancestry back in
an unbroken line to Harrison who
was g, trusted counselor of Oliver Cron1.
we'll, and more than likely accom-
panied 1.-THE PROTECTOR to Ireland on
one notable occasion which the student
of Irish history will recall at this time.
General Benjamin Harrison is perhaps
the most aristocratic American who
has ever aspired to ell the Presidential
chair. He sEesrs at the desire Of the
American workingman to dignity his
labor. Ills attitude ON the Chinese
question some years ago affords ample
evidence Of this fact. That was stain
which can never he erased from the
political shield Of General BENJAMIN
Harrison.
1t is mo1o than likely that General
:. '.afrison will End favor with the An
glo~maniae element in this country.
He has always tried to make himself
popular in that quarter. 1t is only a
few years ago that he opposed tooth
aD;y nail a resolution introduced in the
United States Senate expressing sym.
pf.thy for Ireland. This will receive
the recognition of the dozen or so Brit
isll. Americans who were recently nat
y11alized in Boston. Taking General
Harrison all in all ne is just the man to
lead the party, which once claimed to
be the peculiar representative of <'great
moral IDEAS in the United States, into
g political bottomless pit.
There is not much known concerning
the tail Of the ticket, any more than
shat by constant attention to business
he has succeeded in amassing more of
this worlds goods than generally falls
to the lot Of ordinary mortals, and he
knows how to look after them. His
political record is not brilliant one,
but chat will matter little, as long IS he
has money and is willing to spend it
freely during the coming campaign.
1t is to this extremity that the Repub
1ican party has been drawn. II Mr..
Blaine had been nominated he would
have no doubt made the autumn cam
paign interesting if nothing else. Hel
is one OF the greatest of American
statesmen, but he had to give way to a
clique, and the result of it all will be
that there will not be enough of the
Republican organization left after next
November to form respectable funer-
al for what was once great party.
The Irish standard., 1888-06-30

WITH Blaine or Gresham at the head
OF the ticket, the prospects for Republi-
can success would have been fair. But
with Harrison and Morton there isn't
the slightest possibility for ''the grand
old party" returning to power.
