Emperor Frederick's diary was revealed by
DR.. Gefncken of Hamburg, confident of
Frederick and frequent contributor to Eng

Usher of the DetttSch Reu,eGschau has given
TO the public prosecutor in Berlin the name
of the person who contributed the extracts
from Frederick's diary, and the contrib

The whole Vienna press oensures Prince
Bismarck for his action in connection with
the publication OF the extracts.
The Standard Berlin correspondent says
that if the person named by the Deutsch

have exhibited. The resolutions OF tht
A. q. H, adopted at Louisville, Ky.
were then commented upon as forming
a platform upon which the most radica
Nationalist and most devout Catholic
could meet hand in hand. There was
only one line to be drawn, every mar
was for Ireland or against her. Ther
warming to the spirit of his theme, the
speaker continued: This is question
of life and death; the right to live Oh
the privilege of dying. If you can
stand idly by with your hands in your
pockets and see the roofs torn from
oyer your heads, and your wives and
children cast upon the roadside to die,
if you with the echo of your childrens'
cry for bread could offer your sole
remaining crop for rent; if you
could see your father or brother
torn from the family circle and march
to the scaffold fer advocating the right
to live; if yon could see all this and
calmly meet the author of your ruin
then peace to your cowardly heart; you
deserve the comniseration of even your
enemies, for blood would not flow from
the
HEART OF SUCH l. MAN,
But if you have one spark Of manhood
your blood would course through your
veins until there would be- but one
thought uppermost in your mind,~-to
avenge the death Of the departed, and
defnd the lives Of the surviving" He
exhorted them to stand by the leaders
of the Irish movement. America was
the only hope Of Ireland. We should
let them map out the way, but we
should see that they wanted for Moth
ing that money or sympathy could sup
ply, That England will yet have cause
to curse the enforced emigration from
Ireland, when Irisbmen the world over
will center their strength and purpose
on the determination to wreak ven
geance upon the go7arnmentthat drove
them from the land of their birth.
He closed with a stauza from Father
Ryan's popular poem, ''Erins Flag"
amidst the widest enthusiasm:
We'll cling to the cause which we glory to we'd
Till the gleam of our steel and the shock OF our
lead
Shalt prove to our foe that we meant what VIC
said,
That we'll lift up the green and we'll tear down
the red.
