Tory government. Like other literary
Britishers who come here to fill their
pocketbooks. Mr., Arnold was fond OF
the Almighty Dollar and having failed
to repIenish his exchequer as he ex-
pected to have done he poured out his
spleen against Americans in a leading
English periodical a few weeks before
his death. Had he lived to revisit Cor
umbia's shores on second lecturing
tour, as did Charles Dickens, he might
follow the noble example set him by the
novelist in apologizng for his ungener-
GUS attack upon his magnanimous
american Cousins" The American
people can readily forgive such great
man as Matthew Arnold and we believe
that none but the Anglo maniacs care a
fig what any Englishman, great or
small, may say of American civilization.
The Americans are the greatest people
on earth, and they can afford to smile
at the unjust structures Of Matthew
Arnold or amy other foreigner hailiDg
from the efete monarchies Of Europe.

HE emigration from Ireland this
spring is enormous, and sad to say 1T is
growing larger and larger every day.
This exodus must exert a depressing
influence on the minds Of Ireland's
parliamentary Party and proye most
gratifying to the Tory government
whose policy it is to rid ireland OF it's
Celtic inhabitants. Cannot there be
something done by Irish Naticnalists
here and at home to check this depopu-
lation Of their country? According to
the table compiled by the Emigration
commissioners there arrived last year
at the port of New York $500 immi-
grants from Ireland, This year the inn
migration will be far in excess of that
number unless some steps are taken to
check the exodus.

cause of the failure he ascribed to in

AT the annual festival of the Gaelic
Society recently held in SteinwaY Hall,
New York, the Hon. Denis Barnes de-
livered in Irish an original address
from which the following extract is a
literal translation: 1.-The Irish chiefs
had no thoughC or care but TO defend
their own territories, while the English
wanted to conquer the whole country
but in spite OF the weakness and the
political state of Ireland. so great was
the courage and patriotism of the Irish
that it took the English 500 years to
conquer them; and during these sou
years the Irish did not for one moment
forsake their language or their music.
They were not conquered until they
forsook them; therefore we must say
that the harp was more powerful than
the sword. Is it not pitiful to see Gaels
running after the soulless music Of the
present time, and forgetting Che sweet
strains of their own native land? They
do so because they are, unknown to
themselves, suffering from the effects
of their conquest, their miseries and
their sorrows. Red aud deep are the
wounds the conquerer has left upon u.s.;
dark and dreary the night that has
fallen on Ireland since she lost her
liberty; long and bloody the years that
have passed over her in her sorrow; but
bright and joyful will be the days that
are awaiting her if she is true to her
self-if she holds in her heart the re-
membrance of the days Of her glory and
liberty when she loved her own music
and her own tongue \

The charge upon which NIL. John
Dillon has been arrested and dragged
before q magistrate is that OF melting
tenants to nonpayment of rents, Or If
I3alfour was honest enough TO admit 1t
for exercising the God-giyen right OF
free speech. The meetings which MIR.
Dillon has addressed were entirely

DOSE OF constitutional and legitimate

mari!y dispersed with baton and bay

suitable to Russia than Britain. In

Sunday, April 3. were violently broken
up by police aud soldiers, although Mr..
Dillon, DOUBTLESS Oh account of his poor
health at this time, was the only one
who was SO unfortunate as to be ar
rested. 1t is more plainly evident that
under the Balfour regime Irish mena-
beers of Parliament differ from the TOry
snen1bers in this vital respect. that they
have 10 right to confer with their con-
syituaurs On public affairs. 1t should
be distinctly kept in mind chat such
Calling discrimination has never before

ment should he held. The New York
Sun, an interested spectator Of Irish
matters, avows chat Il question is thus
raised which can not be eyaded or sup
pressed, for it strikes at the root of Ire
lands relation to Great Britain. The
only allowable reason for opposing the
Home Rule movement is the assump-
ton that 1riahmen have the same rights
as Englisbnen, and that their griev-
ances can find prompt and adequate re-
dress at Westminster. Yet in this
very session bill Offering relief from
the pressure Of arrears--;t bill, too,
framed By a Liberal Unionist-h been
rejected; and, moreover. from The bene-
Cts of the reforms embraced in the local
government bill Ireland has been ex-
Guided, although nowhere else in the
United Kingdom are changes of this
kind 50 imp alatiye}y requisite. Had
not the {'arneiite members called pub
lie meetings to protest against such
treatment they would have been re-
creant to duty, and given their antag~
onist I; pretext for asserting that the
Irish people care nothing about the
measures named, but are entirely salts
lied with the present situation. No
such an inference is possible after the
earnest attempts OF Massrs. Davitt, |
O'Brien, Healy, Redmond, O'Connor,
and other leaders Of the Irish patriotic
party to hold public meetings in a great |
many important parts of Ireland. 1t
may be that they have played Mr.. Bal
four's game by bringing the Irish cues

But there il undoubtedly belongs, and
there henceforth it is likely to stay.
