A VERY DISASTROUS FIRE.

On Friday night. Feb. "a, after the
Irish Standard had been mailed to all
its subscribers in city and country, fire
broke out in the Tribune building,
which destroyed almost the entire plant
of that newspaper with its files and rec
ords. The loss sustained by the Tribune
company is estimated at $4,000, the in
snrancc being about wo-thirds of that
amount. The adjoining buildings with
their contents were damaged to the cx-
tent Of $4,000 or whereabouts, the build
ing in which the Irish Standard has its
Offices being among the victims. The
temporary damage inflicted on the Irish
Standard by the Tribune fire accounts for
the strange appearance OF the present is

geographically and otherwise. In the
meantime. it will be issued under diff

Mr.. William ]. Murphy and his asso-

ROBERT EMME1,s BIRTHDAY.


Today is the 12Ist anniversary Of the
birth of Robert Emmett, the young Irish
revolutionist who was barbarously
banged and behcadcd in Thomas street,
Dublin. in 1903, for attempting to free
his native land by force of arms from
British domination. Though he failed
in carrying his plans into execution his
memory is honored on this day in every
part Of the world BY his countrymen,
who recognize him as one of the purest
and most distintcrested patriots that ever
appeared on the tragic stage OF human
liberty. Others have died for Ireland.
some OF them greater than Emmett. but
none have been so warmly loved nor so
passionately lamented by the Irish race.
He unscl6shly devoted his entire fortune
OF $4,000 i'll preparation for the over
throw OF British rule in ireland, and
while young men Of his age were ATM
bilious for office and position under the
alien government that kept their country
in the bonds OF slavery, he was plotting
the destruction OF that inluman govern
ment and spending his days and nights
in dcvising schemes to release his be-
loved country from its deadly grasp.
Some cool-headed calculators there are
who pronounce Ethmct visionary en-
thusiast who should have had better discre-
ton than to attack the castle and other
Notifications in Dublin; but no one has
yet questioned the patriotism OF the
young martyr. The enemies of his coun-
try have admitted that II his plans had
naturcd he would have probably Sue
cecdcd in capturing the British strong
holds. But none OF his plans we're car
ricd out, for those who promised help
left him to his fate. Instead of having
hundreds OF men to seize the castle and
the military depots on the cvcntful night
Of the attack. only eighty men put in an
appearance. He expected nineteen coun-
ties to rise in instruction, but only one
county responded with aid at the critical
moment.
Our readers arc so familiar with the
sad story OF Emmett that it is needless &c
dilatc upon his brief but glorious career
i'll this article. He could have escaped
arrest by the British blood-hounds bu
for his attachment to Sarah Curran
was while trying to secure an interview
with her that he was arrested by Majo
SIR. of infamous memory, who had pre-
viously effected the capture of Lord Ed
ward Fitzgerald. His captor did not know
who his prisoner was until he was brough
to the castle, where he was identified b,
DR.. Ellington. gentleman OF Trinit.
College. who subsequently became tn
Protestant Bishop OF Ferns.
Every one knows the immortal speed
of Emmett from the dock when aske'
what he had to say why sentence OF dealt
should not be passed upon him. Tw'

have been preserved, but either Of then

Second, as to "Amer;can;sm" II &c

second, as to "Americanism." 1t is
apparent from the text of the apostolic
letter that the Pope does not exactly
Know what it is, and nobody, as far as we
know, has defined the term. According
70 the Pope's words there is nothing de-
hnit've about it. In one sense, he takes
no exception to the name, and in another
sense he declares that there can be no
manner OF doubt that our venerable breth-
rem, the bishops OF America, would be
inc trst to repudiatc and condemn it."
nat way OF writing is convincing proof
that his holiness is in the dark as to what
Amerieanism" really means.
The term "Amcricanism" has been used
as ougaboo in Europe by certain eccle-
siastlcs who are jealous Of some English
speaking prelates in this country. They
have made a mountain out of mole hill
and when the mountain labored it
brought forth mouse. 1t is to be hoped
that they will turn their attention to their
own affairs in future and leave the
church in this country to the American
hierarchy to look after. Archbishop Ire
land has been target for these mischief
makers for several years back. He is
now in Rome and they thought it op-
FORTUNE to renew their attacks upon him.
But they counted without their host.
Though his work, The Church and the
Age" contains advanced views, there is
not one word in it which could be tor
tured into heresy. 1t is the work of a
progressive prelate who knows what the
Church requires in the most progressive
country on earth. The fact that he wrote
the preface to Fr. Heckcr's life led the
busy-bodies to believe that he would
come under the Pope's ban. But he did
not. AS soon as the Papal encyclical ap-
pcared he published letter in one OF
the Roman papers enthusiastically en-
dorsing the utteranccs of the aged pom
tiff and declaring that he accepted them
unquestoningly as the true doctrines of
the Church in all lands, including the
United States Of America. 1t is reported
on good authority that the Pope in writ
ing the encyclical had no intention of al
luding to the St. Paul prelate, and as an
evidence Of that fact the Archbishop re-
ceived an intimation that he would be
raised to the cardinalate before leaving
the Eternal City.

oratorical power. 1t is impossible to cal.
eulate what the effect OF that speech has
been on the minds Of the Irish people
since the day it was uttered before Lord
Norbury who WINGED under its vehement
delivery. He was frequently interrupted
by that brutal functionary who rightfully
earned the soubriquet of "the hanging
Judge" With flashing eyes the young
prisoner addressed Norbury and his COL
leagues on the bench as follows: INV
lords, you are impatient for the sacrifice
The blood which you seek is not con-
gealed by the artificial terrors which sur
round your victim-it circulates warmly
ana unruffied through the channels which
God created for noble purposes but which
you are now bent to destroy for pur-
poses SO grievous that they cry to Heav-
en-. Be yet patient! l have but a few
more words to say-1 am going to NV
cold and silent grave-my lamp Of life is
nearly extinguished-my race is run-the
grave opens to receive me and sink into
ITS bosom. l have but one request to
make at my departure from this world
it is-the charity OF its silence. Let no
man write my epitaph; for as no man who
knows my motives dare now vindicate
them, let not prejudice or ignorance as
perse them. Let them and me rest in
obscurity and peace; and my tomb re-
main uninscribed and my memory in OBJ
l'vion, until other times and other men
can do justice to my character. When NV
country takes her place among the ma
tons OF the earth, then, and not till
then, let my epitaph be written"
That time has not yet arrived. His
tomb has remained uninscribcd. but his
memory has not been suffered to rest in
oblivion. All over the earth today the
Irish people commemorate his birth and
pay glowing tributes to the memory of
the young patriot who lost his life in at
tempting to free his beloved country
from the calling chains Of foreign des-
potisn. Ninetysix years have come and
almost gone since the Irish martyr suf-
fesed an ignominious death in Dublin.
and his memory is not forgotten. Though
his native land is still dominated by
England, the prospect for self-Rove.n-
ment is brighter than in the time in which
he lived. He would sever the link that
binds ireland to Great Britain by the
sword; the lattcr-day leaders OF the Irish
would allow the golden link to remain
undisturbed and accept parliamentary in
dependence. Emmett and his compatriots
would be satisfied with nothing less than
absolute independence; while the Irish
patriots OF today would be thankful for
a restoration Of native parliament un-
der British auspices, Emmett would place
his country among the nations; the pres
ent leaders would make it British COL I
ony. There is vast difference between
the two conditions. That contemplated
bv Emme: was infinitely better, but he
lost his life in the attempt to obtain it.
A future Emmett in the coming ages may
accomplish the task undertaken by the
immortal martyr of 1904

These words have the true plutocratic
ring to them and elected cncomiums
from all the organs OF grab and corporate
greed. The Minneapolis Times, whose
policy is controlled by the Anglomaniac
who owns the Boston Herald, took the
speeches for the text OF an editorial with
the caption OF Faith and Uniaitt," and
drew a contrast between Lind and Law
Ter and lauded the latter at the expense of
the former When the Times praises
Lawler it is time for that gentleman to
ask: what have done to merit an
eulogy from mine ancient encmy?" The
Times says: I'VE prefer the faith in our
common country expressed by the demo-
crat who was defeated for governor to
the unfaith implied by the democrat who
was elected" The reason Of the prefer
ence is obvious. LAWYER is an cxpan-
sionist and Lind is not. The Times de-
c]ares that by the grace Of God and
the guns OF Admiral George Dewey the
Philippines are part OF this country so
far as our obligation to defend the islands
against rapine, murder, arson and spolia-
ton are concerned"
The Times does not condesccnd to
show wherein "our obligation" lies to
have anything to do with the Philippines.
or how it is incumbent upon us to de-
fend the islands by slaughtcring the in
habitants who were attempting to cast
off the Spanish yoke, and who will resist
our hypocritical pretensions with all their
might. as they are doing at present. 1t
is by the grace of the plrrocracy that the
brave Filipinos are to be brought under
subsection, and it is to be at a fearful
sacrifice Of life and treasure.
No one can question the disinterested
patriotism OF Gov. Lind. He responded
with alacrity to the call OF the president
for troops to drive the Spaniards from
the western continent and lberate the
Cubans from oppression. That was a
war in the cause Of humanity and indie
pendence. The war in the Philippines is
war of conquest and spoliation and
Gov. Lind as genuine American is op-
posed to the raising OF big army for
rapine, murder, arson and spoliation.
to quote the words Of the Times. When
his speech and that Of D. w. Lawler
are read calmly and dispassionately, the
patriotic American citizen will not agree
with the Times in giving the preference

LIND AND 1AwLER COMPARED.

The plutocratic papers Of the Twin Cit
les have seen fit to make invidious COM
PARSONS between Gov. John Lind and
Hon. d. w. Lawler. because OF the d.
verse sentiments expressed by them in
their addresses at Washington's birthday
celebration, held in the Peoples Church,
st. Paul, on Feb. 22. Gov. Lind in his
speech emphatically opposed a regular
standing army and favored the raising
of volunteer soldery for the defense Of
the republic when its liberties are in peril
from foreign or domestic foes. I'm
democracy" said Mr.. Lind, there was
never heard Of any soldiers for hire, and
among free people an aristocracy OF
arms has no place. The soldiery of
democracy are the volunteers, the militia
men. The militiaman was present at the
birth OF freedom on this continent, and
christencd its liberties with his blood
All through the struggle for indcpend-
encc. lasting long years. there was scarce
ly the sign OF standing army. A people
jealous Of their liberties would not have
it. Volunteers maintained the conflict"
The governor declared that standing
army had no place in our constitution,
and that the fathers who drafted that in
strument specified therein that no appro-
priations for the military could be made
extending beyond two years. They gave
the president power to call out the mill
tia to enforce the law. to suppress insur-
rcction and to rcpel invasion. They de-
pended on the volunteers to maintain
their institutions and protect their own
frcsidcs. These facts as stated by Mr..
Lind cannot be gainsaid. and yet the cx-
pansionist papers. instead of trying to
controvcrt them. insinuatcd strongly that
they were quite distastciul to the audi
encc. Perhaps they were. and ii SO, the
audience is 10 be eommisscratcd for its
lack OF robust .Amcrieanism. Toward the
end OF his patriotic address Gov. Lind
excaimcd: III the time should ever
arise when the volunteer could not be
trusted, as he was to do the work OF
those nine years from I77s to 1888, to
do the work you and your brothers did
in OF. as they sprang forward for the
work OF the last year. then is Our nation
no longer democracy and there is no
longer safety for our popular institu-
tons"
Daniel w. LAWYER followed Gov Lind
and in his pcroration tapped the wings
of the expansion vulture to the deligh,
and ccstacy OF the audience. Among
other things he said: Fear not the
problems OF the future: they will be
solved in their own good time. in firm
ness. in honor and in justice. And what
ever else may happen, be assured OF this
