The British Government has mott
fed Mr.. John Redmond that H. H.
Wilson, Timothy Featherstone, H.
Dalton, Terrence McDermott and
Flanagan, sent to prison for life in
1883 on charges of having caused
dynamite explosions in English cities,
will be liberated this year if their
prison records are clean. They are
probably broken in health and unbal
anced in mind by the barbarity of the
British bulldog prison keepers, and
their liberation, says the Columbian,
instead of being an act Of clemency,
will be an act of selfish economy-to
get rid of the trouble and cost of sup
porting them in their physical help
lessness and mental decay. They
have been underfed and overworked
for fifteen long years.

one thing certain, namely, that Eng
land will not be able to resist the
eventual recovery by Ireland of her
legislative independence. The times
we live in are full of portents. The
great nations of the world are devel-
oping, expanding, arming; CONNER
cial and political rivalry among them
is becoming more and more intense.
The spirit of war is abroad. And
while the great continental powers
seem to respect each others claims
and aspirations, there is one power
against which their undisguised and
united antagonism is directed. That
power is England. England is the
possessor of vast and valuable en-
pire; but it is an empire easy to attack
and difficult to defend. And
although England is rich and the
owner of the most powerful navy on
the seas, she is neither rich enough
nor strong enough to withstand the
all but universal coalition which is
being plainly arrayed against her.
Her one possible ally is the United
States of America. She is very anx-
ious, far more anxious than her
statesmen would care to admit, to
cement an alliance with the United
States. What chance has England OF
protecting this alliance2 So long as
she refuses to concede the just claims
of Ireland, she has none whatever.
Our race is far more powerful in the
great Republic than it is at home.
And the United States can never be
friendly to England while Ireland is
treated like a conquered province.
And while the spirit lives which
prompted the United States to draw
the sword on behalf of oppressed and
enslaved Cuba, the great Republic
will never hold out the hand of
friendship to England, the oppressor
of Ireland, that mother of so many
millions of American citizens, of so
many Of the heroic leaders and fear
less soldiers of Americas own war of
independence.
"The moral of the history of the
past few years has not been lost upon
US. We appreciate as fully as they
do in England, as fully as it is appre-
ciated abroad, what is the significance
of the long list of England's grace
full concessions, and 'surrenders,'
and retreats, in Europe, Asia, Africa

SAD ACCIDENT.
welI-knewn Young Irish-American
Drowned While Bathing.


Drow.ed While Bathing.
John Monohan, well.known
young Irish-American, was acct
dentally drowned in the Ohio on Sun
day, June 6. Monohan, with several
companions, went to battle at the foot
of Fourteenth street. He was not a
good swimmer, and, venturing be-
yond his depth, was drowned. His
body was recovered by the life savers.
The remains were taken to the home
of his mother, on Seventh street, near
the railroad crossing. His funeral
took place from St. Louis Bertrand
church at 8 o'clock on Tuesday after
noon. Monohan was a plumber in
the employ of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. He was one of the
most popular young men in that part
of Louisville known as Limerick.

Will Mehl and Terry Burns began

Forty Thousand Wexford Men Com
mem0rate the Struggle-Grat-
tan EsmOnde's Speech.

A magnificent demonstration took
place at Vinegar Hill, Wexford, on
Whit Sunday, in honor of the gallant
heroes who fought IN the battle on that
historic spot 100 years ago. Not less
than 4c, 900 people were present.
Notwithstanding its enormous proper
tons, the gathering was one of the
most orderly that has ever met in the
county. A monster procession was
formed at the Fair Green, Ennis
corthy, which marched to the hill,
followed by thousands of other peo-
pie. Notable aud spirited addresses
were made, and the greatest enthusi-
asm was manifested.
Sir Thomas Grattan Esmonde de-
livered an able speech, in the course
of which he made strong indictment
against England concerning her treat
ment of Ireland. He said in part:
ga year ago the people of England
celebrated their jubilee. They cele-
brated the growth of their empire;
the extension of their power; the de-
velopment of their institutions; the
increase of their wealth and prosper
ity. In that celebration every one Of
their colonies and dependencies was
represented. But the nation which
had played foremost part in build
ing up England's greatness; the ma
ton that had won her battles for her,
had governed her colonies for her,
directed her diplomacy for her; that
Observation-Disclosures not represented
at those festivities. Ireland refused
to join in them, and rightly refused.
"For what had Ireland to cele-
brate, as the result of her connection
with England, in the period covered
by those celebrations? How many
famines had there been in Ireland
during those years? Was she to cele
brate them? How many millions of
her children had been lost to her in
those years2 Was she to celebrate
IL

menN was she to rejoice IN the add
ed circumstance that coercion is now
perpetual? And what other advan
tages had she to chronicle as the re.
suit of her connection with Englandf
Was she to rejoice because it has re-
quired periodic approaches to civil
war to compel England to recognize
any Of her grievances? Or because
England's remedies for Ireland's Eng
lish-made grievances have invariably
been carried out at Ireland's expense2
now at the expense of one class of
Irishmen, and now at the cost of an
other? Was Ireland to celebrate the
fact that all through these years Eng
land has steadily and remorselessly
drained her of her resources and her
wealth by ever-increasing taxation
Was she to rejoice because, under
England's fiscal laws, each of her in !.
dustries had been crippled and de-
stroyed one by one, and all sections
of her population reduced to poverty?
And when an English Commission of
Inquiry was itself forced to admit
that England was bleeding Ireland to
death, was Ireland to rejoice because
this report was promptly repudiated?
And finally, was Ireland to rejoice in
that the one persistent and unvarying
demand, which for ninety-eight years
now she has addressed to England,
viz: the recognition of her ancient
nationality, has been over and over
again persistently refused.
"Nol Ireland, poor as she is, plum
dered as she is, insulted as she is,
had still courage and honesty suffic-
lent to decline to participate in the
rejoicings of an empire in which Ma
tionalist Ireland has no place.
"But to-day we celebrate jubilee
of our own--a jubilee in which
all Irishmen can join; a jubi-
lee which all Irishmen are glad
and proud to celebrate; jubilee we
celebrate all the more lovingly, all
the more reverently, for that, like
nearly all of Ireland's historic men,
cries, it comes to US sanctified by
Irish blood and hallowed by Irish
tears. We have few successes to
chronicle in our history. Our sue
cesses are mainly chronicled in the
histories of other peoples. On the
other hand, we have many disasters
10 record. But there is one success
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1898-07-04

it will never be given to any nation
to achieve. There is one disaster
that will never fall upon Ireland while
the world endures, and that is the re-
moval from Trelands grateful and
loving memory of the name and fame
of those who, at any time and under
any circumstances, have lived or died
in defense of Ireland's nationhood.
Foremost among Ireland's heroes are
the men of 'o8. And foremost among
the heroes of 'oS are the men of Wex-
ford. We are here to-day to cele-
brate their jubilee, proudly, lovingly,
and to place on record our apprecia-
ton of their heroism in a manner be-
fitting their descendants. We owe
no allegiance to England. She has
always treated Ireland as a rival, as
an enemy. see but little indication
as yet that she will ever treat her
otherwise. She has deprived us Of
our ancient constitution by force and
by fraud. She is overtaxing us year
ly to the amount of $1,000, 900 Of
Irish money. She takes advantage
of us, under her perpetual disguise Of
generosity, IN every transaction Of
every kind, whether it be the discs
adjustment of church or the passing
of local government bill. England
has no more right to rob us than she
has rule us; yet she does both by her
superior strength.
"We submit to force, because we
have no alternative. England is
strong enough to deny us our rights
for the present. We know we have
no chance of fighting her. 1t would,
no doubt, be very much more salts
factory If we could settle our differ
ences with England in the same
fashion as was used at Benburb, at
Fontenoy, and on Oulart Hill. But
under existing conditions such set
Element is out of the question. Eng.
land is strong enough to keep us
down for the presene, and we know
we have no chance of resisting her in
arms. But will she always be strong
enough to keep us down by force ?
We may not live to see IT'D ut our
sons will surely see the day when

stitutional demands, while she refuses
to restore to us those legislative pow
ers and privileges she deprived us of
so cruelty in 1900, we are enemies Of
England, we are enemies ofthe En-
pire, we are rebels in sentiment, and
should occasion offer, we will be
rebels in act and deed"

and America, in recent times. We
Irish are but weak people; we have
no empire; we have often been beaten
in the course of our history. But no
man has ever been able to say of ius
that we have been afraid. We have
never hesitated to stand up for what
we believed to be, our rights, regard
less of consequences. We do not
know ourselves what cowardice is.
But we know what it means in others.
And when we see England surrender
ing, retreating, giving way now to
Russia, now to Germany, and now to
France, whenever any of these pow
ers find fault with her policy, we
know it is because she feels herself
powerless to resist them. She dare not
fight with a hostile Ireland on her
flank. And we'll they know this
abroad. But the nation that fears to
face challenge will not have long to
wait before a quarrel is forced upon
her.
"And England will have reason to
rue the day she rejected Ireland's
profered friendship unless she rene
dies her mistake in time. For the
moment she is strong enough to CO.
cree Ireland. How much longer will
she be strong enough to coerce Ire
land? Will she be able to continue
the coercion Of Ireland in the event
of a Europern war? When it comes
to a question, as it may very shortly
come, of conciliating Ireland or los
ing India; of re establishing an Irish
Parliamentor evacuating Egypt, Eng
land will realize the opportunities she
has recklessly thrown away. In this
matter we are perfectly frank. We
are ready to make friends with Eng
land if England will make friends
with us. Standing here on this his
toric hill, where the last great sacra-
flee to Irish Nationality was offered
up, animated as we are by the same
sentiments with which our country

To the Editor: While heartily glG1
that the transfer of the Trinity stock in

no objection whatever to the investment.
in the fertilizer business, still the eX-
PLANTATION made by DR. \ilgo to Tic
Western Conference fails to explain to
my mind, and it does seem that the
Trinity authorities are determined TO
keep up the practice of treating the
church with utter lack Of cand0r. We
have been told all along that it was the
last 100000 that was invested in the
tobacco stock, and now DR.. Kilgo says
that it was the first 100000 that was 50
invested IL this is So then there is
needed further explanation of the state
ment of DIR. Ivey that the College had
never received cent from the tobacco
trust. when they have been getting divi
dends all along. Then, too. was it not
treating Dr. Ivey badly, when he was
seeking everywhere for a loop-hole to
escape from and the excuse now offered
by DR. Kilgo was at hand and was not
furnished him? Mr.. Southgate said that
the last 100000 was invested in the to-
bacco stock and the trustees could not
change it without Mr.. Dukes consent.
This gave Mr.. Duke no power to sell
what he had given. DR.. Kilgo says he
put it in his safe without looking ut it.
How did Mr.. Duke get the custody of
it and get il to New York. and to think
he has sold it September Sd, and actually
did sell it September Doth. and the Pres
ident and Board of Trustees in whose
safe it was, did not know anything about
it till the Odd?
DR.. Kilgo says that the reason why
DR. Iyey published his statement on the
18th of September that Trinity has
never received n cent from the American
Tobacco Company, and does not own Il
cent of the stock" was that 0dell thought
it had been sold September Sd? Was the
last part of that statement, does not
own cent of its stock" reply to the
speech of Judge Clark on August 3tst
that the college did own stock. and was
not this calculated to deceive? If this
was not the intention, what was it!
AS TO the first part of the statement.
has never received Il cent" how about
the dividends for 1S96-7-S, if DIR. Kslgo
is right in saying that it was the first
100000 that was put into the cigarette
stock! The published market reports
of the value of the American Tobacco
Company's stock on September 20th
show that it was worth $3.50 in New
York Consequently the 90 shares
