A neatly bound volume of the official
proceedings of the I. N. A. convention
held in Chicago year ago has just been
issued from the press. 1t contains illus
trated biographical sketches of the prom
inent Irish nationalists connected with
the "New Movement as we'll as the
speeches of the leading delegates who at
tended the famous convention. The in
:troductory article is contributed by Hon.
John F. Finerty, who acted as presiding
officer and the publishers preface has
been written by Roger Vail, of this city,
who edited the interesting publication.
The book should be in the library of
every Irishman who believes in the
sword and gun rather than in the tongue
and pen for achievement of 1reland's
freedom from the British yoke.

The. Northwestern Catholic says:


The associated press has discovered,
new variety of Irishman. 1t describes
Lord Russell of killowen as IAN Ulster
Catholic" This description is intended
to mitigate the Irish birth and Catholic
faith of the illustrious jurist. It would
have been imprudent and impolite in
Lord Russell to have been born anywhere
in Ireland except in Ulster, and SO we
presume he patriotically decided to be-
come "an Ulster Catholic next door
neighbor to the Orangeman and the
"Scotch -Irishman." Henceforth and for
ever to his credit be it remembered that
he was not born in all Ireland but only
in part of Ireland.

But in spite of all temptation

It is rumored that Earl Cadogan, lord
lieutenant of Ireland, will resign, and be
succeeded by Lord Dufferin. The rumor
is not believed, however. Lord Dufferin
is, perhaps, England's most successful dip
lomat, and, being an Irishman himself,
would be most acceptable in his native
land, as he is everywhere.

If Mexico is such degraded and non

Abusing Bryan for taking pay for lectur-
ing upon free silver, when he thoroughly
believed in it, and praising Cochran and
Thurston for taking pay for talking
against free silver when they were beiying
themselves, is code of consistency that
could only be expected from the feeble
minded. And, besides, Bryan has en-
phatically denied that he ever received
penny, directly or indirectly, for hta lee
lures, and the country believes him,
whereas both the other gentlemen had set
their price before they took the stump. The
notorious Jim Fisk used to say that every
ton took theirs in cash, and Bryan took his
in the good wishes of the people.

Why do not the gold standard men
call themselves such and not christen
themselves sound money men? They are
afraid to go before the country calling
themselves gold standard men and think
by calling themselves sound money ad-
yccates that they will fool the people
into the belief that the silver people
are not favorable to sound money. Every
plausible argument offered by the single
standard men is either founded upon a
trick or has piece of duplicity behind it

Bryan's School and College DAYS.

From the more primary grades of the
public schools he went to Whipple Acad-
envy, at Jacksonville and thence to ILL
nois College in the same city. In college
years as in earlier days he manifested no
qualities which promised for him brill
liant future, except, perhaps, q certain
facility in address which led his relatives
to hope for him certain measure Of dis
tinction before the bar. A friend OF his
boyhood days describes him before his
naturalization at college as shy, diffident,
little given to joining in the pastimes OF
the other lads, not over bright at his
books, but always serious and inclined to
be distracted in manner. Men today
who were with him in Illinois college
deny to him any great distinction in the
classroom except In the department of
mathematics. The college curriculum Of
those days, however, was not widely ex-
tended, not one from which the ambitious
student was able to select wide variety
of studies most suited to hts own intel
lectual traits or most Likely to prove
for himself. His skill in debate and In
oratory, however, won him some note
early in his college course. It is tradi-
