was counsel for the leaders of the United

speeches, the sincerity and magnificent
eloauence of which was unrivaled in the
annals of Irish oratory. In Parliament,
though a member OF the state church, he
was liberal and patriotic enough to speak
upon all occasions in vehement protest
against the disabilities, of which his Cath

In 1857, in the company OF Grattan and
either Protestant patriots. he seeded from
the Irish Parliament in disgust with its
degrading and pro- British policy. and its
political corruption. Though Curran did
not belong to the so-caleld reasonable
Society of United Irishmen, he was in 1868
suspected of being member Of that body,
owing to the romantic attachment OF his
daughter Sarah, for Robert Emmet, who
was executed for his love OF Ireland on
Thomas street. Dublin, in that memora-
BILE year. He, however, took pains to ex

1906 he accepted the position OF Master

terial conditions in middle life were, if
anything, superior to those Of her earlier

and it took Washington's direct influence
to prevent such action being taken by

THREE GREAT IRlSHMEN.
Burke, O'Connell and Parnell's PoIiti
cal LabOrS.


Ireland has produced a number Of the
greatest orators, the keenest parlianlen-
tarians the most sagacious statesmen
the best scholars, the most sympathetic
poets and the warmest patriots She has
had her name e1nblazoned upon the
temple of fame, through the efYorts Of
those who have been nursed in the cradles
Of the houses which deck her land. In
the political arena there are four names
associated with the work Of this century
and it's predecessors, which stand out in
prominence-namely, Edmund Burke,
Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Par
nell and Justin Mccarthy.
Edmund Burke, one Of the greatest
names in the history Of political litera-
ture, was born in Dublin, on Jan. IL, 1929.
He took a seat in the house Of commons
I'm 1866. He first astonished the commons
HI: Stephens with his electric elo-
quece, command Of language, power of
argument and extent OF information,
while debating the declaratory act. His
early efforts in favor OF Roman Catholic
emancipation, his patriotic designs for the
amelioration of Ireland, the circumstances
attending his first session IN parliament,
his rapid rise to eminence as All orator
and 9, statesman, his enunciaiion of the
doctrine of free trade, the oblOluy and
the difficulties of every KIND against
which he had to contend, the beginning
Of his enmity to Chatham, his struggle
against freedom of the press, his ideas on
Indian reform in 1878 and his speeches
upon the American Revolution are all
subjects occurring during his parliament
ary career which do not yeild in~inter-
est and magnitude to the events of the
present generation. ~ ..-,...--. - q.
O'Connell's striking greatness was
achieved in the field of Irish politics.
From early manhood he had turned his
attention to the condition Of Ireland and
the mass OF her people. Having a firm
perceived that it might be made an in
stTument Of immense political powe; in
Ireland. AS a result of his labors Cath
olic Ireland was arrayed to a man in an
organization of enormous power, that de-
manded it's rights in no uncertain voice.
f-T The history Of the life and work of
Charles Stewart Parnell is of recent date
and the property Of every living Irish
man. man of transcendent genius. his
elevation to the brightest place in the
affections of the people Of his adopted,
country is not to be wondered at. al
though history affords MO parallel of such
a rapid rise among her statesmen. Parnell
was the "uncrowned king and future

No more unique figure is to be found in
the American Judiciary than Judge Gas
In, of Nebraska, and many are the stories
told of this interesting personality.
A 4 per cent a month money lender had
through the instrumentality Of a small
loan secured about everything a home
steader possessed except his farm, but
with all the payments the loan refused to
grow less. Finally action was brought in
court to enforce payment of the alleged
balance by means Of a judgment against
the mans farm. A jury had been secured
which understood its business, and in
spite of the instructions Of Judge Gaslin,
which favored the defendant, brought in
q verdict for the plaintiff
tMr. Clerk he said, "that verdict is
set aside. 1t takes 13 men to steal man S
farm IN this court s
On another occasion q man who had
drifted over into Nebraska from Colorado,
who was not familiar with the manner OF
administering Justice on the Nebraska
side Of the border, appropriated horse
which he found h.tched to a post in front
OF a country store. The horse happened
to be the property Of Judge Gaslfn. The
thief was captured, and later bound over
to await trial in the district court. A2feW

Judge from another district, and request

his own horse. .$
