nal has evidently learned from the Irish
Standard, and that is that the word
Irish Americans" cannot be applied ex.
clusively to adopted citizens OF the
United States who We're born in Ireland.
The word has 81 two-fold meaning and
is used in designating Americans of ma
tive birth but of Irish extraction. Not
withstanding the fact shat these cti-
zens bear Irish names they are Ameri-
cans by birth and training and have
figured in tho history of this country
from ante-Revolutionary days. The
name kelly" is pretty Irish, but it fig
ured in Massachusetts in the days of
the Pilgrims. Irish Americans have
taken q prominent part in upbuilding
tho republic for generations. They are
Americans by birth as we'll as the An
glo-Americans are, and Ireland is no
mere their native country than Scotland

The names of the heroes of the Mer-
rimac are made immortal and will shins
refulgently in the annals of the Spanish
American war for Cuban liberty. The
men who have immortalized themselves
by their bravery while facing almost
certain death are Lieut.. Richmond Pear
son Hobson, Daniel Montague, George
Charette. Osborn Deignan, George +.
Phillips, Francis Kelly. Randolph Chau-
sen and J. c. Murphy.
The Irish Standard takes pride in
recording that half the gallant crew of
tho Merrimac bear unmistakable Irish
names. Three of them undoubtedly be-
long to the fighting race. though only
one-Daniel Montague-was born in
Ireland. From the inception of the war
Irish names have been conspicuous,
among them being William O'<eefe,
Daniel Mckeown. William O'Hearn,
Lieut.. Rowan, OConnell. Michael Muir
ply. John Regain, John Doran, Michael
Gibbons and several others. More of
them will be heard of before the termin-
alton Of hostilities.

The following interesting commulica-
ton relative to the nationality of Brian
Boru's wife is contributed by Hon.
James O'Brien, the chief justice of Ari-
IONA during President Harrison's admin
istration
Editor of the Irish Standard
In your issue of the 28th ult., Hon.
Ignatius Donnelly is requested to show
his authority for the following state
ment found in the report Of discourse
delivered by him at Turner hall, Mime
apolis, before the Sons of Norway"
May IT, 1898: 'The wife of Brian Boru
was g Scandinavian, and his daughter
married man of that race, called Sit
rig of the Golden Beard
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Donnel-
ly has not given the desired information.
On cursory examination of the ques-
ton, find that, though the whole state
ment is not literally true, it's substance
and object are supported by Irish histo-
ry.
The Annals of the Four Masters, edit
ed by the profound Celtic antiquary,
Dr. John O'Donovan, contains this entry
for the year 1905: overwhelmingly,
daughter Of the king of Connaught, and
wife of Brian, son of Ceinnedigle, died"
And the Annals of Ulster, under the
same year, state: "Dovchavly, daughter
of the king of Connaught, wife of Brian
Mac Cinnedy, mortua est"
1t is probable that the king of Con-
naught, whose daughter Brian married
was Of the race Of Cathal, and not a
Scandinavian. Be that as it may, it is
certain that Mr.. Donnelly's claim is not
extravagant: for "sitric. son of Ami
lacigh, (Olafl, king of Dublin, who died
in 1912. was married to Brian Boru's
daughter" Ann. Four Masters, A. D.

A part OF the A. P. 4. oath reads as
follows: 81 will maintain ard defend
the government of the United States
against foreign foe, national or eccles-
iastical." Rev. DR.. Lambert, the learned
editor of the New York Freeman's
Journal, in drawing attention to the
quoted words, pertinently asks: In
view of this oath, how many regiments
have they sent to the front to meet
tho foreign foe: Their courage, like
that Of Bob Acres, seems to have oozed
out at their fingers ends. Not resi-
ment not company, not even an awk-
ward squad. Where is Linton? Where
is Evergreen Watson? What is there
about Spanish gun that frightens them
into obscure inaction and gives them
that tired feeling we read about in the
medical almanacs? In time of peace
the apaist is busybody; in time of war
he is nobody.
When the nation lines up in battle array,
We can trust in the Blue and count on
the Gray.
But the only parts of an A. P. A.
You can trust are his heels in running
away.

CHIVALRY IF A SPANISH ADMIRAL

| L
AT the risk of provoking adverse
criticism from some Of our Anglo-Saxon
contemporaries, the Irish Standard can
not refrain from paying tribute of
respect to Admiral Cervera for his OK.
hibtion of Spanish chivalry toward
Lieut.. llobson and the gallant crew OF
the Merrimac in Santiago harbor
There has been so much said within the
past few months of the brutality, treach-
cry and dcviltry of the Spanish charac-
ter that few were prepared 10 hear that
the bloodthrsty Spaniards were capable
OF showing any humanity to their Amer
lean foes. The deed performed by the
commander OF the Spanish fleet bottled
up in Santiago bay has changed the
opinion entertained of the Spaniards by
the American people. The age of
chivalry is not yet gone, despite the
assertion Of Edmund Burke Instead of
trying to kill Hobson and his intrepid
men as they were making their way
coast, the Spanish ships and forts ceased
firing, and when captured the Spanish
sailors checred instead Of laying violent
hands upon them. In recognition Of the
bravery displayed by the American tars
Admiral Ccrvera sent word to Admiral
Sampson that they were all safe, that
no lives were lost. and that the seven
heroes were prisoners of war who would
be treated with the greatest Kindness

prisoners. We submit that suc,, treat

CHAPLAIN COLBERT.
The Soldiers Mt ChicknmauEa Flock to
Henr Him.

The Soldiers mt Chicknmnusn Flock to
Hear Him.
Montgomery M. Folsom, special cor
respondent of the Minneapolis Tribune,
has the following to say of FIR Colbert,
the chaplain of the 14th Minnesota, now
with that regiment at Camp Thomas,
Chickamauga:
Rev. Father Colbert, who holds the
rank of chaplain in the 18th Minnesota,
is one Of the most eloquent divines in
the volunteer army. Sunday evening
the regimental band marched to the CEN
ter of the camp, struck up stirring air
which was the signal for the assembling
ice. In a few minutes large crowd had
assembled beneath the shade of the
great oaks, including the majority of
the soldiers Of the 14th, as we'll as
large number of men from other conf
mands attracted by Father Colbert's elo-
quence. This is the case every Sab
bath, and numbers of troops from dis
tant camps visit the 14th every Sunday
evening solely for the purpose of listen
ing to this good mans words of council
and adnlonition. With barred heads and
in attitudes of the most respectful at
tention, the men stand during the deliv-
cry of the sermon listening to his Words
All noise about the camp was hushed,
and even the sentries leaned on their
muskets and bent forward eager TO catch
few words from the beloved chaplain.
After the services the boys Joined in
singing hymn. and Father Colbert
then delivered short talk, as is his
custom, full of advice and instruction,
and then the congregation was dismissed
with the benediction. It is wonderful
the sway the exercises have over the
men of the regiment, Protestant as well
as Catholic, and his influence for good
has been incalcuiable in stimulating the
members of the regiment toward moral
rectitude and manly conduct

WHERE ARE THE ArGLo-SAXON57


One would naturally suppose from the
mawk!sh sentimcntality with which
American metropolitan journals are
filled to overlooking that the safety and
pcrpctuity of tho republic depends upon
Anglo Americans or that portion of the
population which pridcs itself on being
descended from Mother England"
Englishmen and Americans have recent
ly held y love feast in London for the
promotion OF good fellowship between
kindred races" Tho flags OF the United
States; and Great Britain were drapcd
over the tables in the banquet hall, the

1t is unnecessary to say that the
Americans who participated in this
feast of reason and flow of SOUL do not
properly represent the people Of the
United States. They are descendants Of
the Tories OF the revolution, and not
ono OF them belongs to the sons or
daughters Of patriotic organizations.

A Reply to the Chronicle

Editor of the Irish Standard
In last weeks issue of the Northwest
ern Chronicle, of st. Paul, there appear
ed an editorial which must have dis
gusted all lovers of liberty. 1t is on the
Anglo-American alliance, and sets out
by denouncing as "froth and fume" all
that has been advanced against this
much-talked-of treaty. It appears to
be from the pen of cleric, whose il
logical arguments and insidious at
tempts to bolster up wrong and deny
right have made him we'll known in the
Twin Cities. Foreigners in this coun-
try are not, says this sage, to dictate
whether Americans shall or shall not
form an alliance with England Old
country animosities must be forgotten,
and We must remember that we are
Americans looking only to the interests
of America. This is the essence of this
editorial. How well satan can disguise
himself in the role of saint! would
ask this disciple of Machiavelli a few
questions:
Have not we Irish, German and
French Americans the same right of cit
izenship as you; the same right to speak
out our sentiments; an equal right to
vote; an equal right to influence our rep
resentatives in congress? Who then is
the foreigner? Who amongst us is seek
ing aught but the good of America!
Have we an ecclesiastical A. P. A.?
Would-be autocrats, purse-proud
Anglo-maniacs, and the "culchawed"
priests (thank God, few who hang to
the skirts of Mammon-these are the
enemies of our country. Ireland holds
up before the world the dread record of
England's faithlessness and murderous
atrocities. Has the leopard recently
changed his skin? Hindoostan, Africa,
Egypt and China can answer. Are we,
Americans, too dull to take this lesson
to heart? Are we to embrace this leper
of the nations and expect to escape I'M
contaminated?
The Chronicle is Sinking the true ar
gument. Its logic is lame and impo-
tent The opponents of Anglo-Saxon
alliance are falsely represented as say
ing "there is no such thing as an
American people, What they say is
that the American people are not Anglo
Saxons, and the writer cannot show
they are.
When he says that the people who
come to this country must take on "the
race characteristics of an English speak
ing people" he intends to be insulting to
adopted citizens who are as loyal to the
American flag as he is. He has got his
inspiration about territorial expansion
from such men as Steve Elkins and
Mark Hanna. He has no evidence, and
if he has he ought to produce it, that
the sympathy of European powers is
against the United States. and that Rus
STA, Germany and France went into
concert for armed intervention in be-
half of Spain, and were only deferred
by England's absolute refusal to be
party to such concert" THAT informa-
ton the writer received through the
same medium that represented the Cath
olics of Ireland as being antagonistic to
this country in the war. For it's own
sake, the Northwestern Chronicle
should consign such clerical lucubra-
tons to its waste basket.
