IRELAND'S.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

ton needs no appeal to lettering mon
arches and should seek no alliance with
royal thrones.
We are made enthusiastic from time to
time with the cry of humanity. Greece
passed to freedom through that cry.
Hungary received its Parliament and
equal rights. Crete was saved from the
heel of the Turk. Cuba cried for aid,
and President Mckinley, in his message
last April, said we were to enter upon a
war for humanity's sake. If it be the
hour for the righting of wrongs, if it be
the day for humanity, then what about
this grand old land which has suffered
during these centuries1 If humanity be
evoked, where will its cries be found to
be fiercer and longer continued? If graf
itude for all that that people have done
for religion, education, liberty, then, by
all the titles that men value, Ireland
should be free. No alliance that will en-
danger her national hopes, no alliance
that will not consider her claim to justice,
can be considered by her children in
America.
AS citizens of this great Republic our
duty is clear. We have magnificent in
heritance, and we must transmit it intact
to those who succeed us. AS children of
the Gael we have record to be proud of.
Preserve them and Intervene them with
your American life. Faith in God and
love for Mother Church, devotion to edu-
cation, ambition to develop the splendid
old language of the Gael, manly, consci-
entious loyalty to America, readiness to
defend all her interests. honest, upright,
pure lives, all these express our duty to
the best Republic the world has ever
known. True to America and true to
Erin, we shall become worthy to become
associated with the men and women who
are the honor and glory OF mankind.

IRISH UNITY.

There is no use in mincing words on
the matter of the political dissensions
among the Irish leaders. All thoughtful
Irishmen, all the American friends of
Ireland, all men of Irish blood in Eng
land and its colonies, are heartily
ashamed of the absurd attempts of GER
tain prominent Irishmen to justify the
continuance of divided counsels, says a
writer in the Pilot.
The resolution formulated at recent
meeting Of the Limerick Board of Guar
dian: THAT we now respectfully call on
all the Nationalist members of Parlia-
ment to arrange friendly conference
with view to their union in one party, .
has received the Endorsement Of Mr.,

John Dillon, M. p, chairman of the Irish
Parliamentary party, and of the major
ity of the Nationalist of the country.
Yet eminently simple and reasonable
as its proposals are, Mr.. Redmond re-
fuses them, and Mr.. Healy evades them.
Mr. Redmond, as leader of the Parnell-
ties, will not consider a conference with
Mr. Dillon and representation of his
adherents unless Mr.. Healy is recog-
nized as the leader of third party and
invited to come in that character with
his hackers. This has been suggested in
an alternative proposal by Mr.. Patrick
White. Mr.. Redmond, addressing the
Redmond League on December 6, in
Dublin, claimed that Mr.. Healy "has a
separate organization, a separate CAM
paign fund and newspaper, which is
used not so much against us as against
Mr.. Dillon"
Mr.. Healy, on the contrary, has always
repudiated the charge of being the leader
of a separate party; but he certainly
gives no sign of willingness to attend
the proposed conference as an adherent
of Mr.. Dillon.
Mr.. Dillon. in letter published in the
Dublin Freeman, declares that he never
authorized Mr.. Patrick White to submit
an alternative proposal to Mr.. Redmond
or anyone else. He says:
II should like to know on what
ground Mr.. White made this statement
to Mr.. Redmond. never held any COM
munication with Mr.. White in reference
to his proposal. 1t did not come before
me clothed with any authority which
would, in my judgment, have justified
me in treating it as serious. Nor was l
even aware that Mr.. White was acting
for Mr.. Redmond in the matter.
sit is not true to state that object or
have objected to Mr.. Healy being repre-
scented at any conference that might be
held. But have not gathered from any
of the correspondence, or of the state
ments which have been published, that
Mr.. Healy claims or desires to be repre-
scented as the leader of a separate party"
1t is much though, under all the cir
cumstances, to have Mr., Redmond ex-
press hearty desire for reunion and
admit that many of the alleged causes OF
dissension no longer exist. He claims
that the Nationalist have come over to
the Parnellite policy of reunion on the
basis of Irish independence of all Eng
lish parties. He forgets that the Irish
Race convention of September, 1896, as
serted the duty Of the Irish party to
maintain its Independence of all English
political parties.
No lover Of ireland, however, will
quarrel with Mr.. Re- Pnd for WHICH
ing as he sees asst policy OK b =
party. If only 1t no further Oh
stacle TO all parties.

"Susie, don't spend cent with mer-
