TRANSVAAL IRISHMEN.

An Irishman in the Transvaal, writing
to the Standard and Diggers' News of
johannesburg on the allegation that
Irishmen on the Rand would be found on
the side of England, says:
Every Irishman leaving Ireland carries
with him a hatred of the cruel laws en-
acted by England, laws which have
derided his forefathers on the altar of
God, prosecuted and ruined them, be-
cause they were actuated by patriotism
and devotion to their country. 1t is
memories such as these which actuate
Irishmen to fight against England all the
world over. And now, when there is a
chance to strike blow against that arch
tyrant, "the hated Sassanach," Irishmen
on the Rand will be found in the front
rank among the burgers of the Transvaal.
Pat has seen too much of England's land
thieving in his own country to support
her in despoiling the Boer of his heritage.
Irishmen in the Transvaal
republic will support the country of their
adoption, where they have the same
equal rights to worship their God as they
have in Ireland under the laws of Chris
tan England.
The Irishman who sends the letter
from which this quotation is taken says
that the times in johannesburg are very
bad, and that thousands are walking
about actually starving" He throws the
entire blame on the capitalist leaders Of
the Uitlanders.

England ResOrting to Repres-
sive Measures to Retard
It's Growth.
O'Brien and His Followers Ac-
cused of Intimidating
Landgrabbers.
ATTACKED FROM THE TORY BENCH.

A London cablegram to the New York
World conveys the intelligence that
William O'Brien's United Irish League
is spreading apace in Ireland, and in
order to check its further progress the
Government is resorting to repressive
measures on the ground that the speeches
of O'Brien and others are calculated to
intimidate "landgrabbers' who have
taken farms from which the tenants have
been evicted.
Two Irresponsible Waterford Star
and the Tipperary Northumberland six
tenants, who are accused of intimidation,
have been proceeded against for contempt
of court, and violent harangues against
the league have been delivered from the
bench by two Tory Judges of the Supreme
Court.
These steps are taken in Ireland as the
surest indications that the rapid growth
of the league is causing apprehension to
the British Ministers, who see in it the
Apostolic successor of the Land and
National Leagues, and which is certain
of development into a formidable cleo
pioneering engine at the next general
election.
1t is the only living, thriving national
organization now in Ireland, and it has
seemingly a clear field before it, which
O'Brien and Davitt are preparing for a
Parliamentary harvest next or the sue
ceeding year.
Secretary Gerald Balfour naturally
wants to check the formation of such an
organization, for if dissolution took
place with the Nationalist of Ireland in
their present distracted state the result
would be the return to Parliament of
body of unpledged members who would
be an unorganized and wasted force in
the British House of Commons.

Only four years ago all Frankfort

Truly time works wonders.

within the manly breast of the gallant
