Positive Revolutions of A.O.H.-Judge
Kelly Advises Marriage.


Division No g. of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, changed their quarters
last night. They moved from Cretin
hall to A 0. U. w. hall at Eighth and
Wabasha streets. To celebrate the
event the members had a house warm
ing. The feature of that house warm
ing was Judge Kelly's speech. An
enthusiastic member of the order is
Judge Kelly. Some things he said to
the division last night the members
will not soon forget. The theme of the
JUDGES speech was essentially prac-
tical. He talked right at the young
men. THE American Flag" was his
text. It's three colors formed a beau
t1tul trinity. They signified loyalty to
home, loyalty to country and loyalty
to God.
Young men, get married as soon as
You can" was Judge Kelly's advice
THE sooner you can lead a pure girl
to the altar, make her your wife and
create a home, the better for you.
Home is the salvation of the people.
Our great nation, what is it but a col
lection of homes? Be true to your
country. What does patriotism mean
Does it mean the waving Of the FLAGS
and the shouting Of hurrahs? No, pa
trlotism is not like a rifle, to be taken
up only in case of war. 1t is a virtue
to be embraced in the morning and
to be worn until evening. day after
day. all your lives"
Judge Kelly paid his respects to the
British government in regard to the
pending arbitration treaty He pointed
out that since the great exodus of the
irish people to this country in 1S47 and
during later years, the English govern
ment had recognized the force Of an
qnWrltten treaty with this country.
Judge Kelly gave the young men lots
OF sound and wholesome advice and
concluded by reading John Bowie
O'Reillys epitome of philosophy en-
titled THE Rules Of the Road
DIVISION No. 8, A. 0. H, which was
organized June %, 1892, has 1876 mem
hers, of whom $50 are insured. Since
It's organization it has paid $40 in sick
benefits. 1t has a balance in the treas

The division adopted some resolu-
tons after the entertainment was over.
They were five in number. The first
resolution denounced as false and hypo-
critical, the pretense so long maintain
Ell by British statesmen, that Ireland
was treated with. justice and equality
IN the conduct Of imperial affairs. The
second calls upon the Irishmen in the
British parliament to cease their scan
dalous chickering's, and unite for the
cA00CIIA VI 11dIIOTIdl Inc third
resolution records the conviction that
all hope for the prosperity and happi-
ness Of the Irish race in Ireland may
De dismissed, unless the present sys-
tenn OF political, economic and fiscal
re lationship sqbsfstfng between Ireland
and Britain is brought to a close.
Resolution No. reads as follows.
:. resolved, That we urge upon the Irish par
hanentary representa- of every shade of
political belief that they at once throw aside
all allegiance to British political parties and
actively renew on the floor of the British
commons and on the political platforms of
ireland as a maritime race and nation and
revenues of their country, for the Punishment
OF foreign taX-eaters, and for the establish
ment OF at least an administrative system
whether through national protective tariff
otherwise which will aid in establishing
Ireland as maritime race and nation and
will permit her to build anew her ruined
industries and to root her children In the soil
from which centuries Of endeavor in their be-
half have not sufficed wholly to extirpate
them
Resolved. That we hail with deep gratifca-
ton the spectacle presented in Ireland to-
day. suggestive, as 1T is, of the spirit Of
America in 1776, and of Ireland In the era
of Charlemont and Grattan, the united voices
of all it's political parties, classes and creeds
determinedly demanding relief for their coun-
try from the outrageous Injustice in the
shape Of superexcessive taxation which the
recent report of the government financial
commission has clearly convicted England of
imposing upon Ireland.
The secretary was requested to forward
copies of the foregoing resolutions to the Lon
don Sunday Sun, to the Freeman's Journal
and to the Independent and United Ireland
Of Dublin.
