IRELAND'S HOPE REVIVED
If the Present Programme Is
Carried Out Final Tri-
umph Is Assured.

We consider the following special ca
blegram to the Irish World one of the
most hopeful signs Of Irish unity since
the death of Charles Stewart Parnell,
says the editor of the Chicago Citizen.
The United Irish League meeting re-
Gently at Castlerea, the headquarters of
Parnellism in Connaught, was perhaps
the most important event in recent years.
Mr.. John Fitzgibbon, the Chief Parnell-
lite in the province, presided. The meet
ing was three-fourths Parnellite and all
the speakers except myself were Par
nellites.
MIR. William Redmond, member of
Parliament for Clare, and Mr.. John P.
Hayden, member of Parliament for Ros-
common, and Pierce Mahony, ex-mem-
Der of Parliament for North Meath,
spoke. The Government was so daunted
by this significant Nationalist combina-
ton that it made no attempt at violent
suppression, as it did last week. Mr..
Hayden announced himself ready to face
Jail or bullets in defense of Irish freedom.
In his speech Mr.. Redmond declared that
he took greater pleasure in fighting
the common enemy then in fighting
brother Irishmen." Mr.. Mahony made
a powerful appeal for union, urging all

cember 26. State President Martin Cusick
and State Secretary James Coleman will
probably run up to Frankfort and address
the division on that occasion. The En-
tertainment Committee will spare no
pains to make the half-year meeting
grand success.
The charter for Division No. /, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, arrived last week
and was framed and placed in the hall.
The charter is a thing of beauty, and, of
course, will be ga joy forever" to the
members of the division.
Sensations fast and furious have crowd
ed themselves upon each other in the
Capital City during the past ten days.
The two principal sensations, that have
far eclipsed ali others, are the Trimble-
Thompson Legislative race excitement
and the holding of the Court of Appeals
that the Goebel bill is constitutional by
strict party vote, the Republican Judges
dissenting. This is considered victory
for Gobel in his race for the Gubernatorial
nomination, although conservative poll
ticians all over the State claim that the
salvation of the Democratic. party de-
ponds upon Gobeel's defeat for the nomi-
nation. Judge William Pryor is consid-
cred the most available timber, although
Major P. p. Johnson and Col. P. Watt
Hardin are not by any means out of the
race yet. There is no telling what few
months may bring forth, and history
may aIco repeat itself and authenticated

Bronston may enter the convention and
by his "silver-tongued" oratory snatch
the nomination from the Cincinnati
Car" and head the Democratic State
ticket in 1899. ID. ]. M.

ARMY DOGS.
The Pets of the Regiments Are the
Ugliest CANNES.

There is one class of dogs concerning
which history has been silent--the dogs

Il was at that time in command of
a small scouting party, consisting of a

to see too many of them at once.
