IRELAND'S DISTRESS.

Just as the Easter bells were ringing
throughout this great land Of happiness
and plenty, the cable brought the sadden-
ing intelligence that Ireland is again the
victim of an English-made famine, says
the Ohio Pilot.
This cry of distress Is, alas! becoming
monotonous. and it's repetition has hard
ened the ears Of humanity the world
over, except indeed the descendants and
exicd children of the Gael.
Many dinner is eaten in sadness,
wherever the vicisstudes Of fortune
have driven the exile of Erin, at the
thoughts that his kindred in Ireland are
in this time Of feasting and happiness
subjected to the inhuman sufferngs o.
an unmerited starvation; for If any man
in this broad planet deserves to eat Of
the fruit Of his toll, it is the Irish farm
er and agriculturist. The reclaimed bog,
the soggy marsh made to bloom with
waving corn. and the laboriously con-
structed ditch to drain the almost I'M
fordable waters, proclaim the industry
and patience of the Irish toiler who, in
this glad Easter time is compelled to
hear the cries of his little ones for the
bread an alien race and government has
robbed them Of. Many an Irish home,
however. is temporarily frightened by
the welcome Easter Offering" in the
american letter" from the absent son
or daughter, whose love and remem
brance of the dear old home and kindred
will cease only with their existence. This
isolated relief Is but an oasis In the
desert of sadness, famine's gaunt and
dreadful presence is now spreading over
the isle Of beauty" and garden of
Europe" 1t is impossible, kind and
generous though they be, that Irish en-
igrants are alone able to even mitigate
the evils OF the famine slowly but steadl-
ly creeping over Ireland.
For almost century these United
States have been drained of millions OF
dollars annually by the misgovernment
Of the Irish subjects of England. This
liiOllSS SChl dllSl SSStl ny II lSts-
Americans 10 relieve the distress and to
enable their kindred to keep the roof
over their heads. Every dollar goes into
the pockets of English landlords, who
squander it in riot and luxury ON the
continent of Europe.
Thus Americans contribute to support
in regal state and senile and bloated aris-
tocracy of England on the one hand, and
arc unbushingly appealed to by British
lordly mendicants to relieve their Irish
victims on the other.
Is it not time, we calmly ask, that tho
government Of the United States should
inquire into this criminal drain upon the
resources of our country by the heredit-
airy aristocracy Of tho British govern

IN RE THE CONTEST.

The Irish Standard desires to EXPRESS
its thanks to the Hibernians throughout
the Northwest. and particularly in our
own fair state of Minnesota, for lhe
widespread interest taken and generous
support given the publishers throughout
the last four months. during which time
the popular A. o. H. voting contest was
in progress. The large number Of en-
tries in the exciting struggle just closed
and the immense vote polled, aggregating
in round numbers about 100000.
expresses the degree Of confidence re-
posed in the publishers of The Irish
Standard by Hibernians everywhere and
is but another proof of the fact that
Irishmen the world over are ever ready
to acknowledge the existence Of honest
effort in their behalf by due apprecia-
ton thereof.
TO the publishers Of a newspaper this
appreciation is exemplified in the thou
sands of those who subscribe for it and
pay their subscription therefor. In Or
der to secure this support newspaper
must be true and steadfast to principle
and in every way worthy of the patron
age which it must have in order to sue
coed. The Irish Standard has during all
the years of its existence endeavored to
merit the good will and approval Of the
Irish people, and the successful termina-
ton Of the greatest popular voting con-
test ever conducted by newspaper in
this state justities us in expressing the
belief that our efforts have been fully
appreciated. To the thousands of readers
Of The Irish Standard throughout the
West we wish to again say that we are
thankful to them one and all for the
generous support extended. and for the
future as we'll as in the past our best
efforts shall be given towards the i'm
provement Of The Irish Standard in ev-

ficient to a certain degree. We must go
beyond that. Mind compels respect amt
compels success. What we want is the
man for business who can trample out
prejudice when he encounters 1t. Edu-
cation succeeds to remarkable degree
in this country. Catholics have not had
sufficient ambition In this direction and
have not gone to the front in Mime
sofa in proportion to their numbers!
The church is built up by building up
the men, and the great work before the
church Is the education of the men who
will yield social influence. We want to-
plant our roots deep in this country, and
we want respect and honor which will
come largely from education the young
will receive.
'In this school scholars will receive
thorough instruction in mathematics and
in literature, and hope in time that

modern languages will also be taught.
Thus will your children be prepared to
lead serviceable, useful and practical
lives. The priests wish to work for
your material and temporal welfare.
Education Is only half of life; religion
is the rest. What guaranty have you
that with the education your children are
now receiving they will preserve your
best traditions. The education they re-

What will it avail the church to have
them highly educated without the proper

all Irish Nationalists, says the
Irish-American. There Is no neces-
sity for dwelling on the origin
Of those disputes and diff

all Irishmen that it would be a very I'M
seemly way of commemorating the self
sacrifice and devotion of the United
Irishmen to allow personal and sec
tional differences to become prominent
In the movement intended to commence
rate their unselfish patriotism. In this
centennial year there is a great lesson
to be learned from the deeds and the
policy of the men of '98. 1t is that the
duty Of Irish patriotism is not to sundcr
and disintegrate, but to attract and bind
together all the elements that go to COM
pose genuine national existence and
to sustain true national feeling. After
the lapse of century, Irishmen have
something to learn from the principles,

OF INTEREST TO VOTERS.

state constitution, governing the oualifi-
cations of voters which by it's terms has
caused the Acknowledgement of fully 1885,
O00 foreign born voters of this state
The amendment is so sweeping and has
caused such radical change in the
laws governing the qualifications Of vot-
crs that it has become absolutely neces-
sary for every foreign borf voter in the
state, not in actual possession of his
1ull citizenship papers, to make
thorough investigation of his rights I'M

in even the next primary elections unless

States three months prior thereto.
The Irish Standard hopes to impress
every one Of Its readers throughout the
state who has any doubt regarding his
qualifications as a voter with the I'M
portance of this matter and the absolute
necessity of removing every obstacle be-

The points Of the address in their order
were those upon which there is apt to

lieve themselves to be informed on the
doctrines Of the church. Divided al
legiance, the idea that man cannot be

monies and the use of the Latin Ian
guage; the Jesuits.
1t will be seen that the ground covered
about everything on which there is diff
ference of opinion. but Father Cleary
said that Catholics themselves agree On
but two points, faith and the ten COM
mandments. In everything they hold
views as varied as in politics. All they
ask is to be better understood, to become
better acquainted with other Christians,
for after all they serve the same God,
and are travelling toward the sane
heaven.
Father Cleary struck a responsive
chord when he said that the duty of
every citizen at this time is to support
the administration, no matter what he
thinks of the merits of the controversy.
