their church fair. There are many good
workers in that parish and they are de-
termined to leave nothing undone to
insure the success of their bazaar. It

sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner, which
will be served in the church parlors

he says of his present mission:
II will probably remain in the United
States until next May, when I will re-
turn home to participate in the 9S Gen.

promises to be one Of the most interest,"
ing and dramatic affairs in the history
OF Ireland. The festivities will begin in
May, and will continue for several
months. The arrangements are now be-

the Centenary Association at Dublin, and
the intention is to have the DAYS on

The Irish Standard from time to time
reproduces an article from Reynolds

is the great English Democratic weekly

British masses. The editor Is w. M.

accomplished lady; her gifts regarding
music being particularly marked, espec-
tally on the piano and violin. Mrs.
Scarlet was held in such esteem by the
Irish residents of Montreal, where she
lived previous to coming to this city,
that on the eve of her departure they
presented her with solid silver coffee
and tea service rs token Of their ap-
probation. Mrs. Scarlet has lost none
Of her patriotism since her residence

The Irish World did not help the Re-
publican party very much in the recent
municipal campaign in Gotham. The
reason is obvious. The Irish Republic.
cans received no recognition from thu
Plat machine, and they deserted the
Republican camp. They had not a place
on the Republican ticket while they had
six places on the Democratic ticket In
the state, county and city elections. The
Blaine Republicans have gone back to
their first love. They elected Harrison
in 1888 and would have elected Blaine
but for the bigoted stupidity of preach
er. They have been ignored by the
Mckinley administration and SO on cleo
ton day in Greater New York only a
small number Of them voted for Tracy.
At the next national election they will
turn the Republicans out, especially if
they try to pass the Anglo-American
treaty in the United States senate.

Asked as to the extent Of the failure
of the crops this year in Ireland, Mr..
DAILY said that along the western sea-
board the potato, oat, barley and hay
crops had been an entire loss, and as a
result there was great suffering among
the people,
But there is chronic state of pow
erty among the people of Ireland" con-
tinued Mr.. DAILY, land 1t will always be

How is the National movement pro-

"lt is stronger than ever. The Irish
will never cease fighting until they have
gained their independence and their
rights. The English may imprison,
Stay, quarter, murder and starve the
Irish, but the fight will continue just
the same. There is a something about
the Irish people that will not down.
They know they have right on their
side, and 1t is not to be supposed that
after all the sacrifice Of lives and pro-
perty that has been made in past cen
turtles the field will be surrendered"
Mr.. DAILY was candidate for mayor
of Limerick at the late election, but was
stricken off the roll of burgesses by the

The claim was made that I was not
eligible for office, because had not been

The national spirit of Ireland is i'm.
perishable Every generation there is
an uprising Of the people in some form
or another. The present movement for
parliamentary independence is about
played out. T. w. Russell declares that
when an Irish leader stands up to speak
In the British parliament, another Irish
leader follows him and opposes his
views. Parliamentary agitation as now
carried on by the Irish leaders is mock
cry, a delusion and snare. If the Irish
leaders were all united and pulled to-
gether they could not accomplish much
at Westminster, but when divided what
can they do? They can only bring ridi-
Guile on the cause they represent. 1t Is
time for the three Irish Nationalist lead
ers-Dillon, Healy and Redmond-to re-
tire. If they cannot agree and CONSOLE
date the Irish forces. The longer these
men keep wrangling the less they can
accomplish in the alien legislature.
Next year is the anniversary Of the
Irish rebellion. Let Irish patriots all
over the earth resolve to try physical
force as an argument with John Bull
and start an organization with that OBJ
ject in view. The Irish at home can
send their members to parliament If
they wish, but there ought to exist
formidable body of armed men behind
them to enforce their claims. Nothing
will be got from England through
sense Of Justice. She must be intimidat-
ed. The leopard does not change his
spots nor does the disposition of Eng
land towards Ireland change. The
rights Of Ireland will be obtained in the
future as in the past-by force and fear.
If the Irish are in earnest and united
they will get almost anything they ask
CT England. If they are not in earnest
and will not unite they don't deserve
anything better than what they now
possess. We have an abiding faith,
however. in the patriotism of the Irish
at home. Though differing on the Ques-
tlon Of leadership they all desire nation
al autonomy. The account between
England and Ireland, to use the words OF
T. w. Russell, will have to be settled
with interest in the not distant future"
The sooner the better. The day of
reckoning for England has come when
she encounters a difficulty with one of
the great nations. France may soon
spring at her ancient enemy and then
will come 1reland's opportunity. God
speed the day!

VICTORY FOR THE RECEIVER.

Matter of Interest for Members of
G. u. & L. Association.
John L. Smith as receiver Of the Hen
nepin County Catholic Building & Loan
association is settling up the affairs Of
the insolvent estate under and pursuant
to an order made by the district court of
Hennepin county, and so far has met
with no opposition except in two cases,
both of which have been decided in his
favor and against those refusing to set
tie under the order.
In the case Of James L. Stubbards,
who brought suit to have his mortgage
cancelled and to have decree adjudging
that his mortgage had been paid of,
the receiver filed counter-claim to-
have the mortgage foreclosed. The case
was tried and decree of the court was
entered finding that the mortgage had
not been paid as claimed by Stubbards
and adjudging that the mortgage be
foreclosed. This was done and under
that decree the property will be sold
to satisfy the indebtedness on Monday
next.
In the case of Matthew Valeski, whose
mortgage was foreclosed by the receiver,
after the date Of redemption had ex-
PRED, the receiver brought suit in eject
ment; this was resisted by Valeski and
the case has just been tried and the
court has ordered judgment adjudging
and decreeing that the plan of settlement
heretofore adopted by the court is valid,
that the mortgage was properly FORE
closed and that Valeski has been in un-
lawful possession of the premises since
the title vested in the receiver under the
foreclosure and that the receiver is en-
titled to the possession Of the premises
and he is awarded damages against VAL
eski for remaining in possession since
the date of redemption expired.
It would thus seem that the plan Of
settlement adopted by the receiver I'M
der the order of the court is just and
equitable. and for the best interests of
all the stockholders of the association
and is in line with the plan sanctioned
by the supreme court of the state and
that those who are resisting settlement
are simply delaying the final winding
up of the insolvent estate and mourning
unnecessary costs and expenses.

language Of dead preachers in his pull
pit harangues for years, but his latest
| piracy was detected and exposed because
of the publicity it gained on account Of
the tragic death of the eminent man
over whose lifeless body the grafton
was pronounced
Had Peters mentioned the name of DR..
Mott when giving the select passage
from his eulogy on Hamilton he would
have escaped the humiliation of being
1ndelibly branded as literary thief and
liar OF the first water. A number of his
clerical brethren have been guilty of
the same offense as Peters, but they
have not the effrontery to push them
selves to the front like this Baptist d.
vine, and so they are not found out so
easily
We have often heard politicians
rattleing off amid applause choice pas
sages from famous speakers without the
slightest reference to them, but we made
allowance for their shortcomings and
saved them from exposure. We heard
IN this city a number Of years ago a
magnificent Grafton by a noted speaker
and discovered afterwards that he was
repeating the eloquent address of Will
lam H. Seward on the death Of Daniel
O'Connell. We heard another deliver
the last public speech of Thomas Fran
els Meagher on March II, 1867, which
| appeared in the Boston Pilot, and the
| oratorical thief had the temerity to get
1t printed in full as the emanation OF
| his own brain. There may be some ex-
cuse for these impostors but none at all
for Mad Peters," the shining light of
Apaism in the East who occupies a
Christian pulpit to expound the COM
mandments of God to his simple minded
flock. The words of Shakespeare are
verified in the case of Rev. Peters when
he says: "'Tis good divine who fol-
lows his own instructions" This sensa-
tional parson may inculcate truth and
honesty from his pulpit, but he fails
most lamentably to practice what he
breaches. His future utterances will not
carry much weight with the American
people. He is a convicted thief and liar.

hour, our loss being only six killed and

Kentucky. the ragged remnant OF PAX

Beers, led by the Irish Fenian Awkward

two of the British Red Coats, and more
recently Jamieson's cattle thieves and
land pirates were "sniped" in excellent
style by those same gallant Beers; more
power to their elbows! In the myster-
! ious reglous Of the Upper Nile Ell NAH
dis desert warriors have done very cred
liable "sniping" for savages. From the
| dense silence which has prevailed In that
region of late, it would seem that the
snlpe have been brought up by round
turn. We earnestly hope so. After all
these extremely disastrous experiences
| in snipe shooting, it is not at all strange
that the Anglo-Saxons do not admire that
kind Of sport. But we ardently hope
that the good work will go on until the
entire brood of "snipe," English, Scotch,

with bloody hands to hospitable graves,
and may their fate be solemn warning
to our own countrymen at home to at
tend to their own business and let Eng
land attend to hers!
The assumption that "the British
cause Is also the cause of Ireland" is
one of those monstrous falsehoods which
could only originate in an Anglo-Saxon
brain. There never was, there is not
! now, and there never will be a moment
of time when any cause in which Eng
land is engaged can by any possibility

thought. Sooner will oil and water
mingle into single substance, sooner

and the ravening wolf gambol joyously
together, sooner shall Niagara lift up

name and race perish utterly from the

The Protestant Episcopal Bishop Cay
lor recently said: 1.-THE glory of the
Irish-Americans is that while they have
never fostered any perpetuated foreign
customs nor prejudices, they have given
themselves unreservedly and with their
whole hearts to the loyalty of American
citizenship. Therefore it is simply his
toric truth that the Irish-Americans
have contributed more than any class of
our people to the practical realization
Of free government on this continent and
to the Americanizing of American in
stitutions.'

The Chicago Celts are Initiating their
brothers of New York in getting up a
fair to secure funds for the erection Of
an Irish-American hall, and there is
every evidence that the enterprise will
be crowned with success. The Chicago
1rishmen have now club of about 200
members who are studying the ancient
language and literature of Erin. The
Times-Herald of last Sunday continued
an interesting account of what they are
doing for the revival of the Celtic
tongue, and gave specimens in Gaelic
type Of poems composed $500 years ago
by Amberger, who landed In Ireland at
the time of the Milesian invasion. It
may appear incredible that there are
in existence Irish manuscripts of such
antiquity. The Times-Herald says:
"The recent discovery of these manu-
scripts has given great impetus to the
study Of Gaelic everywhere. The trans
lations-most of which have been made
by Germans that the Irishmans
boast of an ancient literature of brill
liancy was not vain. "TheGaelic Ian
guage is the oldest tongue known except
the Sanscrit, to which 1t Is very much
akin. Its literature, which dates back
$500 years, Is beautiful, its poetry being
graceful and full Of fancy, and it's prose
strong and sometimes fervant." Will

New World, and brother of John Dillon,
the parliamentary leader, is the presi-
dent of the Chicago Gaelic Society, Will
liam Raleigh is vice president; Miss Mae

treasurer. The Irish Standard congrat-
ulates them on the patriotic work in
which they are engaged and wishes them
every success.
