Neutrality BE Hanged.


It frequently said TO us nowadays. OBJ
serve the neutrality laws you and |,
gentlemen. would still be serfs and de-
pendents of the British, as are our I'M
fortunate brethren in Ireland. Although
there be comparatively few lrishmen left
in Ireland to bear the blows of oppres-
sors, there are 20010,000 lriShmen in every
part of~Trh- world, ready and anxious
10 strike the blow that shall make the
old country free: For twenty years the
foreign policy of the United States has
not been what it should have been. When
the English gunboats landed their men
at Cornto. II should have evoked a re-
ply from the mouths of American cannon
that would make the Monroe doctrine far
more virile and effective than the mega
tive, pusiIarimous neutrality laws. When
Cuba raised the. flag of freedom it should
nave been the duty CT Alnerlcans TO mas
ten to her deliverance, neutrality or no
neutrality.
And when the power of England is
used against the United States it would
be our duty as citizens OF this great
republic and our pleasure as children of
old Ireland to bear arms for our country
against the oppressor, We want to hear
That rebel veil which. while it was con-
fined to American soil, England did so
much to encourage and foster despite all
The neutrality laws.
Hopeless Agitation.
'T'hus far all agitation has seemed to
he hopeless against. the treachery and
we try some other course, some course
that we can pursue sensibly. some course
that will have the legitimate and peFma-
nent ending. and what a t the same time,
will meet the appreciation of mankind.
This is the purpose nes1.his new move
ment. We aim to consolidate the Irish race
against the British empire wherever we
can strike her. In the formation Of
plans for this work, gentlemen: of The
convention, the eyes of the children of
Troll md 15-o of
the world
In conclusion Mr.. Finnerty said: I'VE
Rre here TO proclaim 20 the world that
the Irish race is by no means defeated
nor disheartened. There are more Irish
men today than were ever on the face
of the earth. We will circle England with
a wall of fire which shall never be ex-
tinguished until Ireland is free"
No Funds.
After Secretary Sutton had read the call
for the convention and the original cir
culation. an Ohio delegate tried unsnc-
cessfully 20 have a stenogranher engaged

read the various kilograms, each one
bringing forth great applause. The only
interruption aside from the applause was
