The following definition Of Orangeism
by the San Francisco Monitor is pretty
accurate: Irish Orangeism Is a mule
among nationalities. It is without pride
Of ancestry or hope of posterity. It has
no country to love, no principles to
serve. Sent into Ulster as an English
garrison, 1t lost one nationality with.
out gaining another. The country of
which 1t is the curse hates It and the
country Of which 1t is the tool scorns
1t. Never yet did 1t take the field that
1t was not beaten. never did 1t trust to
politician that 1t was not sold. It is
mighty in beating big drum and fir
ing Of pistols to scare women and chill
dren. but 1t had never been known to
stand up before men. In civil affairs
its favorite weapon is that of Sampson
the jaw bone of an ass, but unlike the
case Of Sampson, the ass is alive and
the lion trots off uninjured. In Ireland
and out Of Ireland the Orangeman Is
the same, blatant and idiotic. His low
brow. his thick wits, his mongrel brogue
identify him as a species apart like the
ours Of Constantinople, whom nobody
owns and everybody kicks.

THE TAMMANY BOSS.

A dispatch from London to the New

Prince of Wales is taking ,onsidero h,o
interest In the New York municipal
election, and all because OF Richard
Croker the acknowledged leader of the
Tammany Hall Democracy, who re-
turned from England 70 conduct the
campaign. While abroad Croker asso-
ciated with the Prince Of Wales so in
timately that on one occasion the flu

for the use of the public, regardless of
creeds or nationalities, and that he
would be glad to get such books as were
wanted. The librarian at the Universe
ty will probably get any publications
asked for by the students to aid them in
their studies, and we are sure that Pres
ident Northrop will raise no objection.
The young Irish-Americans attending
the institution will have no difficulty
in acquiring a knowledge of Irish his
tory and literature from impartial
sources If they only notify the eminent
educator at it's head of their desire for
1t. We are glad there is one young
Celt within its walls who is proud of
his nationality. He can always reckon
on the Irish Standard for any informa-
ton about the land of his ancestors, and
IL he peruses its columns week by week
he will learn that Irishmen have shone
resplendenty in the higher walks of
literature. science and art, and that in
oratory they have never been excelled
either In ancient or in modern times.
He will also discover that many great
men who are called British states
men" were Irishmen whose hearts
throbbed for love Of their native land.
And perhaps on commencement day, at
ter he has completed his studies in the
University, he may deliver an Grafton

The Minneapolis Times, referring to
the over-taxation of ireland and the
appeal of the Irish parliamentary mem
bers. has the following to say on the
subject: Surely the least that the
British government can do, after a CEN
fury of spoliation of Ireland under the
gutse of just taxation. is to yield
prompt and generous response to the
present appeal and so refund a small
fraction Of this vast sum TO the starving
people from which 1t has been filched.
Every principle of justice demands that
this meager restitution be made by
England. But from presen. indications
she is going to be moved neither by
sense of Justice and motives Of human
ity, nor by decent regard for her
standing in the eyes Of the world to give
up any of her ill-gotten millions.
