AGUINALDO'S SPEECH.

Aguinaldo's speech before the
Provisional Congress at Malolos a
few days ago showed very plainly
the feeling of the Filipinos. After
lauding the Americans, Aguinaldo
declared that the Americans came
to demonstrate the greatness and
generosity of their Government and
to assist in releasing the people from
the Spanish yoke without annexing
the island. We now understand
and appreciate the famous Monroe
doctrine of America for Ameri-
cans, and justice demands that
they add the Philippines for the
Filipinos. In other words they
want no outside interference either
in the shape of an American or
Spanish protectorate. If the Ameri-
can Commissioners at Paris insist
on retaining all or any of the Philip
pines there will be trouble. 1t will
take large navy and army to en-
force American rule over the savage
and intractable tribes who inhabit
many of these islands. They are
in no wise fitted for self rule and it
will be QuiXotic OH the part of the
United States to attempt to estab-
lish a republic there. AS for Agui-
naldo he seems ready at all times to
sell out to the highest bidder. He
betrayed his associates once before
and will do so again if the occasion
presents itself.

THE TRUTH Is MIGHTY.

Phineas Barnum' pet expression,
"the Americans love to be hum
plugged, was fully exeinplifed dur
ing the late war with Spain. The
most ridiculous statements concern
ing England's friendship for this
country were daily wired all over
the country by the Associated Press.
The most glazing falsehood, for it
can be considered in no other light,
wa. that NJ HanotauX, the then
Prime Minister of France, had at
tempted to form a coalition with
Russia, Germany and Austria, to
assist Spain in her war against the
United States. But when the sub
ject was preached to Lord Sails
bury with view of obtaining Eng
lands cooperation he fatty refused
to do SO, and said, furthermore, that
if such an alliance were formed the
British fleet would be placed at
President Mckinley disposal. The
daily papers published the most
minute details of the projected
coalition and of Salisbury's bold
bluff. The Anglomanics of this
country went wild over this exhibit
ton of friendship of our "kin"
across the sea. Column after column
of gush about blood being thicker
than water" and "the two peoples
being one in race, religion and Ian
guage," and so on ad nauseam
were published by the daily papers.
The sentiment of the American
people was being rapidly formed to
accept the long-talked-of Anglo
American alliance.
Now the truth has come out and
it emanated from where it was least

THE SECRET OF UNITY.

If the United Irish League ac-
complished nothing else than the
destruction of faction it would be a
service of inestimable value to Ire
land, says the Irish World. And
it has all but accomplished this
great good-destroyed faction in all
Ireland-besides killing the cursed
trade of the landgrabber in Con-
naught. How did the League do
it? This is the answer in the words
of William o. Brien, the founder and
leader of the league: "The same
glorious work is going on and is
bound to go on wherever the United
Irish League gets a grip, because
the beginning and ending of its
constitution is no more of these
miserable and fatal conflicts be-
tween Irishmen and Irishmen, but
let every man who has any fight in
him prove his metal by going for
the first enemy of our people-of
our nations liberties that blocks
the way. Activity is the secret of
unity, as insction is the breeder of
disunion. That's the secret of
the good work-activity. Activity
for Ireland against Ireland's enc
mies-thats how to kill faction.
The United Irish League has done
it from Mayo to Clare-svept fac
ton and feud out of existence be-
fore it. God speed the glorious
work.

PRINTER FARMERS.
Good Results of Agricultural
Efforts in Pelham
Bay Park.

1t was announced at the headquarters
of Typographical Union No. 6 Sunday
that the printer farmers who commenced
truck farming at Pelham Bay Park in the
spring by planting potatoes will begin to
gather their crops on Monday.
Sixty-four unemployed members of the
union started truck farming on tract of
land in Pelham Bay Park, the use of
which had been secured by Big Six as an
experiment. They were furnished with
the seed potatoes and few preliminary
lessons were given them in agriculture by
a farming expert, who was paid by the
Farm Training Committee of the union.
The result is big crop of potatoes,
which will net a fair sum to the printer
farmers when they are sold. The unem-
ployed members of the union started in
as truck farmers in a sort of despairing
way, but the open air life has improved
their health and spirits, and they are now
delighted with the success of their ex-
pertinent 1t has tided over the summer,
when work was slack, and most of them
are ready to go to the case again, now
that the political campaign has begun,
which will give plenty of work to conf
positors.
Some of the printer farmers are so well
pleased with their attempt at truck farm-
ing that they are thinking of giving up
their cases and taking to truck farming
in real earnest. They say that they were
cut out for farmers, after all, and we're all
the years of their lives up to this fall
ignorant of the fact.
The potatoes, when gathered, will be
put in barrels and sold. The proceeds
will 20 to the amateur truck farmers.
!. w. Sullivan, Chairman of the Farm
Training Committee of Big Six, said Sat
urday that the experiment was very sat
isfactory. 1t may be repeated next year
if necessary

LAFAYETTE'S DAY.

President McKinley's selection of
October 70, the anniversary of Corn
wallis surrender at Yorktown, as
Lafayette's day was most fitting.
The selection of this glorious ami
versary for the laying of the corner
stone of Lafayette's monument will
bring to the minds of the American
people who their friends were when
they were struggling for liberty.
Many eminent European writers,
especially Allison in his history of
Europe, have openly charged the
United States with ingratitude to-
ward France. The erection of this
monument, a gift from the Ameri-
can people to the French nation as
a token of esteem and gratitude,
will do much to dissipate this
charge.
The French nation through the
exertions of Lafayette sent twenty
five ships of the line and $4,000
troops to assist the struggling
Americans, and Capt. Mahon, the
great writer OH naval affairs, who
was a member of the Strategy
Board during the late war, boldly
states that the glorious victory of
Yorktown, which brought about
our independence as a nation, would
have been impossible were it not for
the work of the French navy under
Count D'Estaing.
When Lafayette visited this coun-
try in 1925 Congress voted him
$500, 900 and a township Of land as
a reward for his services during the
Revolutionary war.
At the laying of the corner stone
of the Bunker Hill monument Dan
lei Webster in his address on that
occasion, referring to Lafayette,
who was present, used these beauti-
full lines of Horace in his address to
Caesar:
*Serus in coelum redeas, diuque,
Laetus intersis populo Quirini.
Lafayette has long since passed
to his reward, yet his memary, next
to Washington, should be the most
revered among the American peo-
pie.
*May your entrance into heaven be de-
layed many years, that you may be left
to rejoice the people of Rome.

Stead, the famous editor of the Pail
Mall Gazette, who is not editor his
getting at bottom facts no matter
where he hits or what illusions are
dispelled. He says, magma est
veritas," the truth is mighty and
must be told. He says that he has
it from the highest diplomatic au-
thorities that M. Hanotaux never
attempted to form coalition against
the United States, and as far as the
statement that Salisbury had offered
the British fleet to President Nc
Kinley it was the veriest nonsense.
The late Prince Bismarck ridiculed
the report when it was first circu-
lated al d wisely remarked that ma
tons do not form alliances based on
the fact that they speak the same
language or any other sentimental
reason.
Nations, like individuals, form
alliances that will best further their
interests irrespective of race, creed
or language.

The action of the Methodist Cen
eral Conference of Michigan last
week was the most peculiar and in
explicable specimen of intolerance
yet shown by any church organiza-
ton in this country. After de-
nouncing those ministers who in
the past had voted either for the
Republican or Democratic party,
strict injunctions were given after
a heated discussion that no minister
should under pains of expulsion
from the conference vote any
other than the Prohibition ticket.
The Courier Journal in comment
ing on the above, said: Suppose
the Roman Catholic clergy were to
pass resolutions favoring any ticket
or measures purely political, these
same men would denounce their &C
ton as unwarranted interference.
Shakespeare says:
Consistency thou art jewel"
To apply the matter locally, sup
pose that the Roman church au-
thorities had taken any notice of
the wild utterances of several of
the candidates who were on the
mongrel ticket called Republican,
what howl would be raised?

COME ONE, COTE ALL.

During the past week we have
received a very large number of
names to be added to our subscrip-
ton list, and we desire to return
our thanks to those friends who are
laboring so zealously i'll behalf of
the Kentucky Irish American.
There are many not yet taking this
paper who should do so, and we
ask our friends to see that their
names are placed as subscribers.
The reception the Kentucky Irish
American has received at the hands
of the general public is most graft
flying, and augurs we'll for its fut-
ure success. But there are the
names of nearly one thousand per-
sons on Our books who have not yet
paid their dollar subscription. These
we most respectfully ask to call at
the office, one and all, and pay the
aforesaid dollar, which will enable
us to make improvements and pub
lish a still better paper-a paper
that will be of great benefit to its
readers. A dollar may seem and is
a small amount to any one, but
when they aggregate up i'll the
hundreds they prove all important
factor in the publication of news
paper.
The price of the paper is so small
that we should not be expected to
expend money in collecting it.
Therefore, we say, come one, come
all, with your dollar, and when pos
sible another name to be added.

The DAYS That Used to Re.

Let me sing you a song of the rollicking
days,
The days that used to be-
When the years were yelled in a misty
haze
TO which we would gladly fee.
When all was bright to our youthful
gaze.
No intricate windinGs. no doubtful gaze
And on each lip a song of praise
That you were alive-and me.
No cross to sustain and no sorrow to
bear,
In the days that used TO be.
No deed too great for us to dare
When we rode our grandpa's knee.
No narrowing doubt, no chilling care,
No soul bowed down beneath despair;
Then life was happy and life was fair
Twas happy for you-and me.
Those gladstone days we live over again,
Those days that used to be,
When life was all pleasure without any
pain,
A joyful mystery.
We hailed with delight each shower of
rain.
For we knew that the sunlight would
come again;
No graves in our hearts wnere some lost
hope was lain.
Then you were content-and me.
Press on, brave heart, through all your
woes,
And think of the used to be,
For there'H come "a time when you'll con-
quer all foes.
And all life's misery.
When the soul is done with its earthly
throes.
And into heaven it gladly goes.
Then once again. as everyone knows.
You'll surely be happy-and me.
