THE IRISH CAUSE DISCUSSED
by Rev. p. J. McManus. of Green Ridge,
Says That the Day of Revolution
Is GOnc-iIc Fnyors an Alliance
with England.

Robert Emmet's one hundred and
seventeenth o. anniversary was cele-
brated by Scranton lrshmen under the
auspices of John Mitchell club in Music
han last night. The chief event Of
the evening was an address on the
Irish cause by Rev. u. j. McManus, Of
Green Ridge, which was included In an
interesting programme of patriotic
Irish vocal and instrumental selections
and recitations
william Dawson, president of the
John Mitchell club, presided, and was
accompanied on the stage by c. T..
Bolpnd, ex-prcsident, and Father Ne.
Manus. The arch and proscenium was
decorated by several United States and
one Irish flag.
Father McManus' address had little
to do with Emmet. The speech was
confined especially to what It's title,
1.-The Irish Cause" implies. He spoke
for oven an hour and said in part:

istic Is "A love Of home. They would
have US believe that the Irish are so
sentimental that they would endure pri-
walton and misery because Of their at
tachment to home memories and the
remembrance Of their departed friends.
While the Irish desire to mingle their
dust with that Of their kindred when
they die, while they never forget the
souls Of their departed, they are not
found whilst living stalking through
graveyards as if the death of their
friends 50 discouraged them as to pre-
vent them from devotng their energies
to active, living duties.
AS a race they are too courageous,
too energetic and too aggressive TO com

dens are increased by the deaths Of
those who assisted them in the battle of
life. They are as anxious as any other
people to know whether they are re-
membered in schedule A.
"The real great Irish sentiment the
real great characteristic, is freedom. As
young Welshman, Mr. Lloyd George,

Revolutionary Day Is Gone.

Some of you are wondering what all

tion headed by Emmett We must not
linger to long over his martyrdom to
liberty. If a meeting, like this of to-

of the Irish race to initiate Emmet's $
example by inducing them to join a

hope. This meeting is intended to give
the second and third generation of the
Irish race To understand that the Celts.
like the Romans, honor their heroes,
even though they are unsuccessful. for
the reason that they believed in their
peoples appreciation of their sacrifices
and never doubted in the ultimate sue
cess of the cause of freedom"
Father McManus commended the ad-
ministration of the Liberal party and
drew attention TO the fact that the Off
cials of cities, counties and provinces
are Irishmen. He cited that in the
event of Ireland being politically de-
tached from England the latter would
be at the mercy of invaders. which, in
case of war, would use Ireland as an
approach and a battle ground.
Solving the Problem.

England, really united their interests

a government of its own choice. When
that time comes Englishmen will APP
preciate what a real strength Ireland
will be to their glorious country, and
Ireland will be prosperous and realize
the benefits derived from a real union
with a country which knows how to
defend its friends. These conclusions
may not strike you as the ones you ex-
pected, but they are mine and as | de-

WE'RE RIGHT N The PUSH"
When the advertising atmosphere is 50
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well TO remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about

Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clOthiers 10

have to scheme harder and find new

from Tuliahoma to Chattanooga In
September Bragg was in the latter city
Rosecrans wanted to get into the city, so
he made a movement to the southwest as
| if to invade Georgia. Bragg bit at the
bait and fell back to Lafayette Rose
Grams then slipped back and took Chatta-
nooga. Rosecrans mistook Bragg's rear
movement r retreat, and pursued him.
| Bragg had been heavily reinforced and
| turned upon the Union forces, and they
met at Chickamauga, creek, the Indian
name of which means River of Death. -
There on September 10 and 20 was fought
one of the bloodiest battles of history.
Rosecrans had So 000 Bragg 70, 600 men.
The battle began at 10 d. m. on the 10Th
and lasted all day. Most of the fighting
was on the Union left, held by Pap"
| Thomas. Brigade after brigade went
against him, but at night be was still
there. During the night both sides cor
rected their lines. The middle of the
| forenoon of the Goth saw the renewal OF
the battle. Early in the day the center
held his place. Against him the full Con
ederate army was turned The entire
afternoon was thus passed. Longstreet
charged him eighteen times. Thomas did
not bulge till midnight, when he fell
back in good order to rejoin the fragment
in Chattanooga. So great was the car
mage that a pond which ran red was
called thereafter Bloody pond.
General Grant succeeded Rosecrans,
and month later ordered general at
tack on the Confederates, who held the
heights around Chattanooga. Hooker
swept them off Lookout mountain among
| the clouds, and the mainsline. ordered to
Missionary Ridge, disobeyed orders and
went up on the slope, driving Bragg OF
| in full retreat.
AT POINT LOOKOUT.
Among the interesting sights around
| Chattanooga that will stir the veterans
blood is Point Rock. On the morning
of November "a, 1868, after Hooker had
dsfeated the Confederates on Craven S
| Farm, the eighth Kentucky regiment
scaled the bluff and planted the Union
flag on this rock. Previous to this it
had been occupied by the Confederates as
a signalspoint. This is the only point in
| America where seven states can be seen
| at once; !. they are Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina. George
| Bancroft, the eminent historian, at the
| age of eighty seven, standing on POINT
| Lookout, said of it: SIN all my travels
have never seen any scene to exceed it's
sublime grandeur - The river forms the
Indian Mocassin in it's windings about
the city, and is l, 700 feet wide directly
| beneath the rock.
The views from Lookout are not sur
passed anywhere in the world. Chatta-
nooga smiles b ok from the plain below,
and the beautiful Tennessee river twines
around her glittering arms of silver.
Lookout reaches a height of 2, 300 feet
above sea level.
The losses at Chickamauga made a
| total of 30, 600 in killed and wounded. A
congressional committee reported that
the average losses on each side for the
troops were fully 33 per cent. Some por
tions of the lines suffered so to Is per
cent of loss. This park celebration will
be entered into by the Confederates with
out the humiliation of Gettysburg and
Shiloh, as they won the battle of Chicka-
mauga.
