PRoF. Robert Ellis Thompson, Pres
byterian Irishman, writes an interesting
letter to Protestant Unlonist on the
Home Rule question. Referring to the
persecution Of Professionals if Home Rule
is granted, Prof. Thompson says: Do you
happen to know that the Catholic Church
st Ireland is the only national church OF
Christendom whose hands are absolutely
free from the bloody stain of persecution?
You cannot point to single Protestant
martyr she has made for US. Professionals
have been killed, no doubt, in the agrar-
ian rislngs OF 164l and the revolt Of 1898,
and in the v9rious faction fights OF later
date. And they have done fully their
share Of the bad work, by way both Of
provocation and retaliation. But those
are facts which patriotic Irishmen would
be glad to forget, and they have no bear
ing on the present question. The Catho-
lie Church Of Ireland has no bad tradi-
tions of intolerance embedded in her
career and her history. She has, alas!
martyrs of her own to enumerate, but
she b as made none for us.

But some are disposed ia forget. Even
Irishmen are disposed % forget, and the

his Irish banner shows us that there are
things we ourselves ought to remember,
things We ought to remind others Of aa

and ID fact Ireland is q nation, and her
claims to nationhood are recognized and
admitted by the whole world, excepting
the very same power that fought to the
death against American liberty and later
tried to shatter the American union.
Ireland's flag is not good enough for the
electricity building. It was good enough
to head attacks where blood ran freest
on American battlefelds. By oil means
let us have an Irish day. It will do us
good; it will do no one any harm. .
There are about 100000 people in
this country who are Irish by birth OF

IRISH DAY AT THE FAIR.

It affords us much pleasure to an
nounce to our Northwestern readers that
the patriotic Irish Americans Of Chicago
have at last awakened from their lethargy
and resolved that Ireland shall be prop

we'll represented except their own native
land, and felt 50 Inundated when the
dag Of Erin was ostracized from the fair
grounds on the false pretense that it is
not the flag Of q nation, that they could
not stand the humiliation any longer.
The Ancient Order Of Hibernians met
last Sunday and proposed that an Irish
congress be held in September, at which
papers will be read and addresses de-
livered to bring out with emphasis the
relation OF Irishmen TO the United States

hard in the election, and added: "You

that the Irish priests are not the only

THE OUTLOOK FOR HOME RULE.

THE OUTLOOK FOR HOME RULE.
The reports coming from London to
this country during the past week are
calculated to discourage and dishearten
the friends of the Irish cause. There is
no longer any doubt Of the strained re-
lations between Gladstone and the mem
bers Of the Irish party. So dissatisfied
are the Irish members with the action Of
the ministry in accepting amendments
p opposed by Tories that Justin Nc
Carthy sarcastically asked Gladstone to
withdraw the bill entirely. The Parnell
itesan McC arthyites have united sol.
idly against granting further conces-
sions to the Tories, and one evening last
week they voted twice against the min
istry and we're supported by q band Of
English, Scotch and Welsh Radicals.
The Gladstone party was cut exactly in
two one half voting with the Irish and
the other half with the Tories, the result
being that the Tories and the Liberals
passed an amendment repugnant to the
irish party. 1t things continue in that
way it will not surprise anyone to hear
that the alliance between the Gladstone
and Irish parties will soon come to an
end and that the ministry will be forced
to resign. Mr.. Sexton told the "grand old
ma that his conduct was folly" that
he was mourning the fatal danger Of
alternating the people Of Ireland from the
bill, and that his policy of concession
was policy of "unao .'ountable fatuity."
The financial clause of the bill will be
likely to prove stumbling block to
Gladstone. A mistake Of e350,00O was
made by the ministry in calculating the
revenue from the Irish excise, and to
make up the deficiency Gladstone pro-
poses to increase Irish taxation instead
OF decreasing Ireland's contribution to
the imperial treasury. The Irish party
will not agree to that proposal and will
probably repudiate the entire bill as be-.
ing practically worthless. TO say the
least Of it, the prospect looks gloomy for
Ireland as we 60 to press. Harold Fred
erick, however, in his letter to the New
York Times, says there is 70 genuine
ground for despondency. He tells how
ninety Gladstonians followed the whole
irish party into the oppofi It'll lobby
as protest against accepting Tory.
amendments to the Home Rule bill wi h..
out reference to Irish wishes II the
Tories had not voted with the ministry.
the latter would have been defeated.
This warning, he says, will doubtless bear
needed fruit and bring Gla6 stone and
Morley; to realize that their party and
the irish are sick Of being made fools Of
by an ingenious, cynical minority.
