LORD CHARLES BERESFORD.

We cannot present to the readers Of
the Irish Standard anything better than
the speech of Lord Charles EeresfOrd
at Il recent meeting of the Trinity Col
lcgc Philosophical Society, in which he
bore strong testimony to the good quail
tiles Of the Irish people as follows:
Tho Irish were misjudged altogether,
particularly by a large number in the
adjacant island. For his own part, be-
ing an lrishman (applausc). he often had
arguments at the other side about Ire
land. and he had got hot. as Irshmen
often do. AS rule he always asked
the man with whom he was arguing:
"lIave you ever been in Ireland your
SELF" The answer was invariably mo-"
and he (thc spcakcr) went away smil,

address the president had quoted a say.

a friend of his. He took leave to differ
altogether with Lord Ashbourne's re-
marks (hear. hcar). He had had to d.
with Irishmcn all over the world of all
sorts and conditions. and he never met
an lrishman who was half anything yet.
(Applausc and laughtcr.l If he was
good he was generally solid good NJ o.
and IL he was bad he was about the best
OF bad men. He agreed with what the
president had said about the feelings
of the Irish when found fault with.
They were naturally Il sensitive people,
and If they were to be found fault with,
let them be found fault with by their
ownsclvcs. and not by other people.

ing the nation as Il whole, they were
thoroughbred Irish. Though they had
been conquered many times by many ma
ticns. at times they either amalgamated
these conquerors or they disappeared,
but they were Irish still. (Applause).
1t was curious fact that notwithstand-
ing many changes, nations do remain
nations to the end of time. In Greece
where he had been many times, he
found that the most violent Mahomme-
dams were those that had been originally
Christians. In Egypt they had been
conquered many times. but one could
never make them anything but Egyp-
tians. Monson was altogether incorrect
about the military capabilities of the
Irish. Whenever the Irish were put
under discipline they were the hest
soldiers in the world, and the hes:
sailors. (Applause)

the Irish people for civil, religious and

In our opinion the commission in pac-

with too much power and authority,
while the future aldermen are lookc,s
upon as being susceptible to bribery and

appears strange to us. when we con

THE ABSENCE OF MISS CONNIE.

1t was a grievous disappointment to
the many friends OF the Irish cause in
Minneapolis that Miss Maud Come
failed to appear last week as announced,
at the Lyceum theater. The Daughters
OF Erin, Or Ladies' Auxiliary of the A.
0. H. had labored hard to give the Irish
Joan of Arc reception compassionate
with her superior merits as patriot for
Erin's liberty, and they consequently
felt her absence most keenly. The local
committee Ct arrangements was nowlse
to blame in the matter. The fault lies
entirely with the New York managers
Of her lecturing tour, who fixed dates for
the appearance of Miss Come in the
western cities. They evidently are III
supreme ignorance OF the size of the
vast territory lying between the Hudson
and the Golden Gate, and the iung dis
tances between the great cities OF the
West, else they would not have assigned
Miss Come to talk in Denver, MinDe-
apolis and St. Louis in consecutive order
and few days apart. They kept her
continuously travelling to meet her en-.
gagements, with the result that she
''broke down" in Omaha enroute from
Denver to the Flour City. We would
suggest to her Eastern managers that
they take up a map of the Western
states and ascertain the long distances
