An editorial from Patrick ii.
Lannan's paper, and evidently
written by one of his hired men, Is
being reproduced in many Of the
disrePutabie sheets like the Chicago
Tribune. Patrick's sheet saws that
Mo-mons are playing the fox, that
pOlygamy was only one Of the lesser
evils OF MOrmonism; that after
statehood was obtained for Utah
pOlygamy would be again revived.
In this strain the article proceeds
for fully half a column in length
in talking about cradles and collins,
cattle anu children and lot of the
silliest kind OF twGddle. Ii reminds
one of the omniscient ostrich in
Francis Wilson's new comic opera,
the "Sferry Monarch" The ostrich
knew il all at first, but he got left.
Ii is thus with Lannan's literary
Blackstone; when pOlygamy was
relegated 10 the past, his stock in
trade was completely lost and he Is
now stuffed bird. Here is the
story Of the comic ostrich:
In an African desert once there dwolt
An ostrich wondrous wise.

protected poor Geogehan. This
magistrate showed Ge0gehan's pre-

wildly and denOuncing Irish CATH
olics as frauds, vagabonis AMI per-
I iurers.
A peculiar feature Of the people
who originated and executed those
penal laws was that the recanta-
tons and Oaths Of the Irish were
not received in good faith. It was
not alone sufficient to take all the
o2ths required but one had u

When a fairminded man under
took to protest against the Internal
work OF the band OF clrpetl,agsers
that domineerei and tyranized the
unfortunate IRISH, he was subjected
70 all kinds OF insults. When ID .an
Swift undertook 10 defend the Irish
the carpetbaggers actually attempt
ed 70 ride over him on the streets Of
Dublin. IL n judge or other official
ventured 10 show anything like fair
play or justice he was soon recalled
or silenced by this noisy band of
bOodlers. And in place OF suppress
ing Romanism they actually pro-
pagated it. IL fair play were shown,
Ireland would today be as clear Of
Catholics Us Sweden Is. After the
conduct Of James at the BOyne the
Irish were so sick Of Rome aud Of
S,uar,ism that, If LEFT TO themselves,
there was no need Of penal laws nor
OF transubstantialion test o2ths.
