THE TIMES" AND THE IRISH.

We have always been of the Opinion
that ireland has been prolific i'm states
men, but il we believe the Minneapolis
Times we have been laburing under a
delusiOn. In its issue OF last Sunday it
declares cditorally that the "Irshman
has never shone in the higher places Of
craftsmanship" and that 1.-The history
of ireland. from the earlies; records, is
history of failure in the art of gov
eminent.
We shall try to show from nun-lrish
sources that the Times is incorrect in
its statements. In Magoon's Orators OF
the Revolution" we find the following
eulogium On lrishmen: "Ircands poets
are among the oldest and the best, her
litcrati shine brightly amid the chiefest
luminaries of art and science; her mar
tial heroes have never been exceled,
and of her statesmen. it is enough to
say that for centuries they have been
what they now arethe mlghtiest lead
ers OF parliament. When Ireland had
national councils of her own she shonc
supremely in legislative wisdom and
Justice; when forced into allegiance
with England she eclirsed the splendors
she encountered. The brightest names
in English generalship, science and jur
isprudence are Irish. But it is in eo-
quence especially that ireland may safe
ly challenge the most refined nations of
modern times. An unbroken series Of
cons,lmmate orators illuminate the
dreary history OF that abused and much
injured island like SO many pillars OF
fire" 1t appears, then. that the Irish
man has "shone in the higher places of
statcsmanhsp." if we accept MagGon as
an authority. Surely. such men rs Ed
mund Burke, Henry Grattan, Daniel
O'Connell and Charles Stewart Parncll
shone respcndently in the higher
places Of craftsmanship" In recent
times we have Sir Charles Gavin Duffy
Lord Dufferin. Lord Lansdowne, Sir
John Pope Hennessey. and many others
who govern British colonies with con-
summate ability. During the queens
jubilee Rt. Hon. G. Kingston prime
minister of South Australia, visited his
native city of Bandon in the county OF
Cork, and told his countrymen in a
public address that Irishmen occupied

BRYAN ON RISING MARKETS.

In a recent letter from Nebraska to
the New York World William !. BRYAN
says many things worthy Of note. In
the first sentence he declares that the
rise in wheat will aid rather than in
jure the cause of Mmetlllism, and then
explains that wheat mas risen because
the foreign crop has been exceedingly
short the Americ an wheat grower be-
ing just now protiting by the almost
unprecedented disaster which has over
taken the wheat growers of India, Eur
cpe and South America. He ridicules
the Republican assumption that the rise
in wheat is due to the Dingley tariff on
that cereal, because it happens that the
increase in price and the tariff on wheat
are about equal. while wheat is high
er in Liverpool than it is in New York."
he says. "a tariff on wheat has no in
tiuencc uron the price in the United
States" That is a fact on which the
unscphisticated American farmer of Re-
publican proclivities should ponder.

AT meeting of the Methodist min
listers of the city, iled Monday morning
in the Hennepin Avenue Methodist
church, the Rev. Hugh Cork preached
the scheme Of dividing the city into dis
trcts for the purpose of making q
house to house canvass to get religious
statistics. 1t is proposed to divide the
territory to be covered into "a districts,
with chairman and several visitors for
each district. Then the residences will
be visited and the people will be asked
to fill out blank stating whether or
not they belong to any church, and, if
so. to what denomination. The Episco-
palians Methodists, Presbyterians, Con-
gregationalists, Baptists, Universalists,
Norwegian Lutherans. Swedish Luther
ans and Mission Friends are already in
terested in the movement, and it Is
hoped that the Roman Catholics will
join later. 1t is about time that a move
ment of the kind be started. The
Catholics should not hesitate in cooper
ating with the Protcstants in matter OF
such Importance.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

The press of London, both Tory and
Liberal, is misleading it's English read
ers on the reception given to the duke
of York in Ireland. With "haracteris-
tic effrontery it represents the irish poo
pie as being so enthusiastic over the
royal visitors as to have abandoned
every desire for home rule The Dub
lin Freeman reminds it's London con-
temporaries that If they continue to
misrepresent facts the Irish Nationalist
may find it necessary to give convinc-
ing proof OF Irish disloyalty before the
termination of the royal tourists visit
to the Green Isle. The Freeman in a
leading article says:
The good sense which for few days
the British press showed on the subject
of the royal visit to Ireland seems to be
rapidly disappearing. The average
Britisher seems to have an extraordir-
airy notion that he was born to impress
the whole human race with his superior
ity, and that he has but to put forth
his charms to fascinate everyone with
whom he comes in contact. A rude
shock occasionally restores him to his
senses, but the national disease soon
seizes upon him again. Now past expert
cnce and the remembrance of what so
very recently occurred in connection
with the Jubilee celebration cured the
British press for the moment OF the
notion that the duke Of York's visit could
have any political significance or could
be utilized for any political purpose
The Irish people were very glad that
the visit was heralded in the way it was
They would be pleased to see royalties,
together with their encourages, con-
stanuy visiting Ireland. with result
ing gain to many industries. They
would be welcome; and no doubt visit
ors like the duchess of York would soon
become personally popular amongst all
classes. But the moment the British
journalists have found that the prince
and princess were not hoOted or greeted
with black flags they have been stricken
with their old complaint once more.
Even the Daily News. which ought to
know better, makes an absurd sugges-
ton about the possibility OF the royal
pair leaving IAN abiding trace behind
them in national sentiment" The vari-
Gus correspondents. struck with the de-
monstrations through the streets. have
apparently made up their minds that
the Irish people are already hypnotzed
by royalty. and that all they want is
good and sufficient doses OF the same to
make them completely forget that Ire
TO England as Yorkshire does to Mid
delsex. These gentlemen really do not
know what Irish enthusiasm is at all.

We clip the following from a New
York paper which represents the finan-
cial interests Of Wall street: Sending
money into the farming districts to

the remaining months of the year it

as we'll wish to retain in their fields
forever the rain that falls during show

between the crop-money and the rain.

one case the cities, in the othe: the
ocean;-eaCh falls with stimulating ~
feet upon the country. and flows back
again, to repeat it's course in due time.
If the rain lay continually where it
falls. the crops would rot. If the money
remained always with the farmers busi-
ness would stagnate, and the farmers
themselves would derive no benefit from
it. Free circulation of moisture and of
money keeps the country in a state of
health. physically and financially.

Irish are not yet Billions. They have a
separate nationality, and though often
defeated by superior force they have
never thrown up the sponge"
The Times has no exalted opinion of
the Irish in America and thinks they
are not "a shining success on the lower
plane of party politics" There are many
who think otherwise-the A. p. AS for
instance.
That the Irishman readily becomes
more concerned about office than prin-
ciples" is not true. During the many
years of defeat Of the Democratic party
the Irish have stuck to it with unwaver-
Ing fidelity as a matter of principle. If
they preferred office to principle they
would have followed the example Of
thousands of Americans who sacrificed
principle for the leaves and fishes of
the successful G. o. P. The Irshman
is the backbone of the Democratic party
and he deserves it's patronage when in
power. Some Irish bosses" are not
angelic. by any means, but they COM
pare favorably with the rest of them.
AS officials the Irish have been faithful
to their trusts and have not been sent
to the penitentiaries for embezzlement
of the public funds like some blatant
patriots who boast of their American
ism. On the whole, the Irisfman at
home and abroad is the equal OF any
other man, and sometimes a great deal
better, and the Times had better make
a note Of 1t.

An interesting relic of an Irish patriot
has been discovered in London. 1t is a
miniature on ivory of Robert Emmett.
evidently painted three or four years
before his execution. 1t contains inter-
woven and inserted at the back, locks of
the hair of the young martyr and Of
Sarah Curran. The miniature was sent
from Meath for sale to a dealer in Ted
dington, from whom it has been pur-
chased by M. J. Hurley, T. R. S. A., of
Waterford. Mr.. Hurley was at once
convinced of the genuineness of the relic
when he first saw it. as he is learned, as
we'll as an enthusiastic collector of Irish
historical objects. He resolved, however,
to satisfy himself as to the authenticity
of the miniature, and made inquiries,
which confirmed his belief that it had
been a possession of the Inflated young
Irishman.

The Pioneer Press is after Ignatius
Donnelly again, though it is but few
weeks ago when he received $1,000 dam
ages from that paper for calling him "a
dirty dog" The reporter for the p. p.
ridicules the Grafton delivered by Mr..
Donnelly at the State Fair on Labor
Day, without giving one word of what
he said. Joe Wheelock attacks him in
the editorial department of the paper
under the caption of "A Legendary Ora
tor" Such treatment of Mr.. Donnelly
will gain no friends for the P. P. He

better friend to their cause than the

The vast majority of the people look

The vast majority of the people look
upon this visit very passively. The
Unionists, it must be admitted, assem-
bled and cheered heartily; and after all
this Unionist enthusiasm is still irish,
and is a little more hearty than people
are accustomed to in London streets.
Let the duke and duchess, instead Of
merely parading the city as visitors and
receiving addresses from the Orange
lodges, came here with the message that
the political prisoners are released, and
an opportunity will be given. perhaps,
of showing what real Irish welcome
is, Of which the recent reception was
but a shadow. AS for national senti-
ment it has not been touched by this
royal visit, and could not be influenced
by all the royalists of Europe. 1t is
as we'll to be very plain and out
spoken about this business. The
British journalists in attempting, after
pledges to the contrary, to make politi-
cal capital out of this business are
treading on very thin ice. In one
breath they assure us that we ought to
receive royalty because the throne is
above party; in the next they assure
their leaders that the royal pair" have
now completely fascinated the Irish peo-
Pile, and that all that is needed to cure
the Irishman completely of his "separ-
Artist" notions is to erect palace in
Killarney and keep a supply of nobilities
there as complete antidote to home
rule. The chamber of commerce in it's
address declared that royal residence
would promote tranquility and good
will amongst us and should materially
aid in Strengthening the ties which bind
together the United Kingdom of Great
! Britain and lreland"-in other words,
the hateful unicn. The Daily Express
talks of the visit opening a fresh chap
ter Of Irish history which will render
the relations of the crown and Irish peo-
pie more sympathetic on the one hand
and more loyal on the other" What
terrible nonsense all this! Notwith
standing we trust that the duke and
duchess will continue to receive respect
and welcome if they cannot hope as yet
to inspire enthusiasm amongst the
masses. But the Britisher ought to
make some effort to cure himself of the
folly which assumes that if the people Of
! Ireland are not discourteous they have
suddenly become loyal.

WARS OF THE MILESIANS.


The following editorial utterance APP
peared in the Minneapolis Times of last
Sunday: Between the conquest of Ire
land by forces coming from Spain and
the Christian era there reisned in the
conquered country about 1863 kings; and
assassination, plague ana violcnt deaths
of one kind or another destroying the
rest"
War was certainly the ruling passion
of the pagan kings of Miesian stock.
Hardly had the Milesians been in pcs
session of the Green Isle wllol .hny be-
gan to quarrel among themselves. The
two brothers who were chiefs of the
invading colony declared war against
each ether, and one of them was slain in
battle. More than two-thrds of the
kings of Ireland We're killed ON the field
of battle in the course OF 1000 years. In
these pre-Christian days the kings led
their troops III person and sought each
other in mortal combat. If the so-called
Christian rulers Of the present day imi-
tatcd their example their oppressed sub
jects could more easily get rid Of tyran-
meal monarchs like the emperors OF
Germany and Russia.
If the Times reads up ancient history
it will discover that the pagan kings Of
Ireland were not more cruel than were
the kings of ether nations at that time

at Germany in later times and it is
seen that the cmpcrors persisted Ivy con
spiracy or poison. Italy and Spain were
no better in this respect.
But let us com" to England, that land
of civilization. and what do we find in
Is Saxon kings were murdered and
mostly by one another. Others were dc
posed and barely escaped with their
lives. In Northumberland alone four
kings were aSsassnated and three I'M
crowned within the space of Al years
An intcirrgnum of 50 years enslled dur
ing which no one dared tu become king
through fear of assassination. Then
we have the wars of the barons, which
were cruel enough. Edward II was de-
posed and then assassinatch by order of
his own wife and son. The houses
Of York and Lancaster engaged in a
sans,inary war resulting in the assassi-
nation of Richard IT, and Henry VI.
These events are known to the editor OF
the Times. for he must have read Eng
liSh history. Is it fair for him to select
the pagan kings of Ireland for horrible
example of barbarity, when so many
crueitics have been perpetratcd in
Mother England" i'm Christian days?
