Sir Charles Gavan Duffy On Circulating
Irish Books
At reunion of the Irish Literary So
ciety of London, Sir Charles Gavan Duffy
delivered an address on the dissemination
of Irish literature. The venerated Irish.
man, in the course of an eloquent and
lengthy address, said in part: I have
made inquiries, and / am assured that the
books chiefly read by the young in Ireland
are detective or other sensational stories
from England and America, and vile
translations from the French Of vile ORR
ginals. It is for the moralist, and indeed
for al! of us who love Ireland, to consider
whether the virtues for which our people
were distinguished, purity, piety, and
simplicity, are not seriously endangered
by such intellectual diet. Why may
there not he opened to them a nobler
world of wonder, the story of transcen-
dent achievements, the romance Of his
tory, the ''fairy tales of science?" 1t may
be- demanded: where are the writer's tc

ask, where in 1910 We're the writer's who
were exciting universal enthusiasm in

pairing for their task; they are waiting

men accused Of political crimes Of yio-
lence, now imprisoned in English and
Irish penitentiaries. Even il they were
guilty, as charged, Mr.. Gladstone should
remember that they we're only engaged
in ringing that celebrated "chapel bell"
of his, which called, in very vigorous
fashion, his attention to the intolerable
grievance under which Ireland labored
at the time when the alleged attempts
at crime were made. According to Glad
stones own statement, it was the desper-
ate acts Of these men that drew his at
tention to Ireland's grievances. One
d.y of clemency would have more effect
on the Irish heart, at home and abroad,
than hundred years of severity. IF the
crimes charged against the men had the
effect of helping to make Gladstone Ire
lands powerful ally, the aged statesman
should not be too hard on the apostles
who converted him to the faith of human
liberty"
In conclusion, Mr.. Finerty, referring
TO the factions in the Irish parliament
tary party, said that from the great
| meeting which he had the honor to adj
dress, and in the name of the united
Irish societies of Chicago, over which he
had the honor to preside, mighty cry
for union would go forth to their breth-
| rem in Ireland and everywhere beneath
the sun. The American Irish had stood
faithfully by Ireland in the past, and
they were willing to do so again, but
they firmly and emphatically demanded
| union. There should be mutual conces-
sions and men who were recognized as
leaders among their cou trymen should
think less of their own ambitions and
heart-burnings and more of the interests
of their common country. Should it be
necessary again to dissolve parliament,
in order to force the Home Rule bill
through the house of Lords, he had no
! doubt the Irish settled in the American
republic, and in other lands as we'll,
| would give millions of dollars in aid of
the Irish party in order. to maintain the
struggle and accomplish the victory.

now the leader of the Scotch Liberals;
M. Burt, Mr.. Benn and others.
/ But nothing Mr.. Gladstone can offer
will prevent the Radical leaders imme-
diately upon the reassembling of parlia-
ment from showing their resentment at
their exclusion from Office. Fortunate
ministralists explain tonight that the
name of Labouchere was one of the last
that Mr.. Gladstone presented to the
Queen.
Nothing in Mr.. Labouchere's political
life is likely to cause him SO much re-
ioicing as leading schism destroying
the Gladstone government. He will have
ample opportunity for this in the coming
session when irate Liberals refuse to
crafty Mr.. Gladstone's passion for Home

RADICALS DISAPPOINTED.
The composition of the new govern
ment is an intense disappointment to the
Radicals. Not single man, except John
Morley, prominently identified with the
Radicals has been appointed cabinet
minister, and among the cabinet posts
few members of the new set have any but
the remotest chance Of getting place.
Even Mr.. Stansfeld, who in tn, last
| Gladstone cabinet represented demo
cratic opinion, has been shelved. Report
! says that Mr.. Brice may yet come in as a
first commissioner of works, with seat
in the cabinet, but this is only likely to
| happen if Mr.. Gladstone finds the storm
OF Radical indignation so overpowering
ae to compel the appointment of Mr..
Brice.
The official list when scanned tonight
at the National Liberal club, awoke
vehemenent protests. The bulk Of the
members of strong Radical tendencies
turned from the announcement with ex-
pressions Of scorn and anger. Was it for
an undiluted List Of old men associated
with traditions OF Whiggery, with some
new resources from the territorial and ar
istocratic classes, that the Radicals had
given their money and their time? This
was the general question, and the re-

there was no way out of it; if the Home
Rule bill cannot pass without some such
unfortunate concession, the Irish should
insist on their full representation OF LOB
members to legislate on what were
termed 'imperial concerns"
He was glad to observe that John Dill
Ion, John Redmond and other inhuen-
tial members had already expressed
themselves to that effect.
In referring to the resistance of Ulster
to Home Rule government, Mr.. Fin
erty said that in spite of the Marquis OF
Abercorn and Maj. Saunderson the
Professionals of Ulster, who we're excel
lent business men, would speedily recog-
nize that the work of Irish local legis-
latures could be much more efficiently
and cheaply performed in Dublin than
in Londoe. As for fighting, the very
idea was preposterous. They would
have about as much chance of victory In
fighting the English and Irish parlia-
ments as Rhode Island or Delaware
would have If either we're insane enough
to attempt to fight the rest OF the Union.
