THE Boston Herald editorially suggests
that grave in Westminster Abbey be
offered for the remains of the late Car
dinal Newman, whereby England would
greatly honor herself. If England wishes
to honor liberty. she should offer grave
there to John Boyle O'Reilly, who loved
the liberty of Ireland to the extent that
he risked his life in her behalf. But
America could not spare her adopted
son.
II THINK the predominant feeling is
feeling of loss-loss to his country, loss
to his religion, loss to all of us, his lovers.
Loss to his countries-for he had two,
he owned two-the country of his birth
and tho country of his adoption, to the
former heroic, to the latter loyal" said
the Rev Father Fulton, S. j., in his
eulogy yesterday at the funeral of John
Boyle OReilly. Yet many professedly
patriotic Americans Connot believe
that the Irish-American is a loyal
American. John Boyle O'Reilly's re-
cord should silence their tongues.
OUR esteemed contemporary, the Re
publican, is anxious that Connecticut
should make the experiment of repopu-
lating the abandoned farms and sites
the success in Vermont of inducing the
Swedes to occupy their vacant acres.
Why call it an experiment? Why does
not the Republican reproduce the well
worn speech of N. d. Sperry showing
the increased value of farm lands in the
nutmeg state. His famous illustration
how n man went into debt for farm and
paid for it from the proceeds while he
educated his children at an expensive
boarding school could be reprinted each
day in each republican paper of the
state and the result ought to be that the
farms would soon be titled and making
their owners rich. There's millions in
it," We suggest that the Republican
initiate the city lords, buy a farm and
confirm the statement of n. d. Sperry.
