ORDER OF HIBERNlANS.
A Word About the Organization and
Principles of This Influential Society.

|
Principles of This Influential Society.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians is
distinctly Irish Catholic in its organiza-
tion, benevolent in its character, but it's
prime object is to arouse the spirit, ele-
vate the character and unity the Irish
race into one common bond of brother
hood The motto of the society is
Friendship, Unity and Christian Char
ity" - attributes that appeal to the
noblest and most generous impulses in
the human heart. Friendship-in re-
garding each other as members of one
family; to extend all necessary support
and protection in sickness and distress;
to be animated by fervent purpose of
mutual assistance and forbearance;
adoring at the same altar, and holding
sacred the same holy tradition of moth
erland. Unity-to be true and united
to each other and assist in promoting
each others welfare and rejoice in each
others prosperity. While influenced by
this principle, deceit or hypocrisy is un-
known and proves what blessing it is
for brothers to dwell together in unity.
Christian charity-by bearing with each
others weaknesses; aiding by wise
counsel distressed or erring brothers;
by relieving their distress and soothing
their Affections.
With these cardinal principles en-
blazoned upon its banner, the order is
propagating its benevolent and patriotic
influence with such effect that in every
city and town of Importance from the
Atlantic to the Pacific may be found
fiourishing divisions of the order, united
in common purpose and bound to-
gether in the same fraternal ties, max
ing in all 100, 900 members in the Unit
ed States, and such are the teachings in
culcated into the members that from
this number are gathered the leaders
and projectors of every other organiza-
tion whose object is the amelioration of
the condition of Irish kindred in the old
land or the fraternization of the race
in the new.

T. PLURIBUs UNUM.

To the Turner Hall-'twas in days Of peace
Came the broad-eyed sons of Hermann,
And the verein bands, and the songs they
sang,
Were all distinctly German.
The sweeping chorale, "Die Wacht am Rhein,"
Went up in a roar harmonic,
And every singer Of that Maennerchor
Seemed heart and soul Teutonic.
Through the brisk March winds-'twss In
days of peace
Marcht the green sasht sons Of Erin,
And the liltings to which their feet kept time
Were as Kettle as their bearing.
The shamrock's sprig cleaned on every breast,
Whether man or maiden or matron,
While the flag st. Patrick floated free,
The gonfalon Of their patron.
To the picnic grounds-'twas in days ofpeace-
Thronged the sons Of Garibaldi.
The Captains daughter was vivandiere-
La Bella Terese Grimaldi.
There were canzonets in the Tuscan tongue
By squad and by battalion,
And the guiding spirit of the days fiesta
Seemed in every way Italian.
Across the field-'twas in days Of war
Raced three platoons at the double,
For they had to carry the rifle pits
Which blazed like hell ON the bubble!
Twas Captain o'Flannagan led the charge,
While Corporal schwanenfugler
Trotted shoulder to shoulder up the slope
With Tagliafer, the bugler.
No foreigners these-in days OF war
No Italian flag above them!
No Irish song for a call to arms!
No German watchword move them!
But Yankees all in the face of foe,
And they storm the earthworks CORY,
With yankee Doodle their rallying sorg
And their fighting flag Old Glory.

We may be under the necessity Of

complete occupation has been secured,
things will have to be got in shape and
law and order established. No doubt,
under American rule order and obedi.
ence to law and the rights Of property
will soon be re-established. Cuba,
under our sway, will soon see a pros
perity hitherto unknown to her under
Spanish rule.
Egypt under British rule has prosper

The people are protected in their rights
of person and property, and the Egyp'
tian officials are also required to be
satisfied with what the law allows
British rule in Egypt has been a bless
ing to all, and the result is prosperity.
British occupation Of Egypt has con-
tinued from 1881. The purpose was to
restore order after the rebellion OF Arab
Pasha, but it has been continued much
to the advantage of Egypt, and to the
great annoyance of the French. EgypI
has needed protection against the soud
anese, and the British cannot think tc
leave the country and let IL become 9
prey again to anarchy and corruption
So Americans may have to remain in
Cuba for some tune, although Cuba Ii

ultimately be absorbed into the Union
