Davis in town and to find from him
that the political conditions in the north

Davis represented Wake county in the
House of Representatives at time when
the people had good Democratic govern
ment. He was an excellent representa-
tive. If the county can have such men
at the session, it will be well with us.
Mr.. Davis says that the people are
disguised with bad government. and that
while they are not coming back to the
Democratic party as rapidly rs he would
like to see, he says they will have mo
more of negro and Radical government:
and that if the Democrats put out their
best and strongest men they can carry

THE SCoTCH-IRIsH

Although there is "no such thing
as Scotch Irishman there is society
bearing this name in Louisville.
Whenever a man born in Ireland does
anything great he is Immediately set
down as Scotch Irishman. During
the revolutionary period the Scotch,
with the exception of Paul Jones, did
nothing at all in behalf of the indie
pendence of this country, and if they
were ever heard of in the war of 1872,
or in any of the Indian wars, we are
not aware of it. The other day John
ID. Taggarr died in this Aiy. Sosne
OF the papers referred ltso-'him as a
Scotch irishman. The fact is his an
cestors lived Ireland for centuries.
There was no element of Scotch about
him, except that he was thrifty and
saved his money. He was for the
freedom of Ireland, and never called
himself anything but an Irishman.
Mr.. Taggart was a man Louisville
might be proud of, and his coming up
from poor boy to position of af-
fluence shows how the Irish can get
along when they are given chance
and try. 2

THE IRISH AND THE
GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The Fourth of July is day which
gives joy to every Irish american, fol-
on this day r2a years ago the Decla.
ration of American independence was
proclaimed. Fifteen out of the forty
five signers were Irishmen. The
Declaration itself is in the handwrit-
ing of an Irishman-Charles Thomp-
son, Secretary of Congress. 1t was
first printed by Capt. Thomas Dun
lop, an Irishman, who published the
first newspaper in America. The
Declaration was first read to the peo-
pie by another IrishmaD, Capt. John
Nixon. We read of, and glory in,

THE IRISH IN KENTUCKY.

The Irishman is no stranger in
Kentucky. Before George Rogers
Clark came to Louisville in 1911
there were Irishmen here, and with
Clark we're many Irish soldiers,
notably Col. George Croghan. A
list of the private soldiers who fought
under Clark, which may be seen at
the Polytechnic Society Library, dis
closes the fact that more than half
were of Irish ancestry.
The first printing Office established
in Kentucky was by an Irishman, Mat
thew Lyon, and he was son of Erin
of whom the race may feel proud.
Born in the County Wicklow in r746,
he came to this country at the age of
thirteen. Having no money to pay
his passage, he was bound out to a
farmer in c Connecticut, and, after pay
ing his debts, went to Vermont,
where he established a Democratic pa
per. After distinguishing himself as

Boys" he came to Kentucky, and
was sent to Congress from 1903 to
1871, after having first served in the
Legislature two terms. He brought
over the mountains with him the first
type used in any printing Office in
this State, and therefore can be
counted as the first man to do some
thing for education. In Matthew
Lyons time he was not known as a
Scotch-Irishman. That type had not
been discovered in those days. Plaip1
Irish was good enough for him, and
he loved to be known as an Irishman.

had left nothing undone to bring
about the reunion of the order.
Mr.. O'Connor, in reply to che ad-
dress of welcome of the Bishop and

dress. "The cordial greeting ex-
tended us by his Lordship, Bishop
McFaul, is highly appreciated" he
said. Through his earnest and pa
triotic efforts we are here to complete
the unification of our people and re-
ceive his blessing. The city of Tren-
ton is bristling with inspiring and
historic memories, and the grand re-
suit achieved for Hibernianism therein
will long be remembered. We are
glad to be among our New Jersey

manliness, high moral character, emf

loyalty to American institutions and

After telling of the deeds of valor
of Irishmen in the former wars in
which this country took part, Mr..
OConnor said: "In the present con-
fict our people are nobly doing their
part, and the most brilliant pages of
history, when written, will be il
lumined by the brave deeds and valor
OF our people. And friends, there is
one consolation l extract out of the

wiped out the dividing lines that so
