in spite OF centuries of persecution, in
parliament, in polite society, and in the
hall of the muse. There was virility in
the race that not all the penal laws could
blot out.
English history was written to ca
illuminate our race, to excuse the perse-
cutions and. expressions. There is not
ink enough in all the world to blot out
that history OF misrepresentation. If |
were an Englshman, l should be sorry
to own two such influences as the Anglo
and the Saxon. am not an English
man, thank God. Ii were l might
feel as they do. like the English race.
They are better than their government
The 1rishman always loved liberty and
never accepted oppression. Without
his own for 700 years, he still protested
that it was his own.
ireland has its nobility. In this
country we are all kings. We need not
waste time by trying to trace our an
cestry. England really never knew Ire
land. She only heard about her from her
tax collectors. They are bad men to
hear from about anyone, especially if
that someone don't and won't pay their
taxes. Principles were all right when
the constitution was written. 1t is dif-
ferent now.
"It is said that the spirit of patriotism is
dying out. But when recently the drum
beat sounded, patriotism was found to
be alive. An 1rishman's patriotism is
double. He loves his motherland and
his adopted country. He dreams OF his
neutrality-suspicious.. All the faults
the Irish have came from bad legisla-
tion.-From three centuries OF alien rule
Il stand with America against the
world. l do not want an English aIli-
ance. We have had all we want OF Eng
land. Let's call it quits. We only want
her to keep off now. Let those who
love England more than America-go
there.
"We have made war for humanity and
are keeping it up for humanity We
are making people free whether they
want it or not. If humanity is the
watchword and we are going to make
all the oppressed races free, let us re-
member Ireland.
"We are democratic people and need
no associations with the royalties OF the
old world. Our ideas, aspirations and
methods of government all cry. out
against alliances with foreign powers
Built upon a hatred to tyranny and an
aversion to royalty the American nation
need not appeal to tottering monarchies,
and seek alliances with royal thrones" !"

The British AriStOcracy.

Here is little table, compiled by the
editors OF the London Reform Almanac
1t shows the cost OF an aristocracy to
Great Britain.
1t shows the number OF offices occu-
pied and the amount OF money drawn
from the nation in thirty-thrce years by
the dukes, marquiscs and carls OF the
Kingdom and their relatives. There are
o61 titled gentry with 4,536 relatives fill
ing S,2oS offices at a cost to the nation
OF $332,336,21o.
In other words, each nobleman had,
rpon an average, about eighteen rela-
tivcs in public places, nearly every rela-
tive drew more than one salary, and the
amount SO drawn was, roughly, $40,
no year. And there were the far more
numerous viscounts, barons, baroncts
and knights, with their hordcs of rela-
tives, III addition.
The Marquis OF Waterford is one OF
the ornaments of this list. True, he had
only sixty-two relatives in the public
service, but they held 126 posts and drew
in thirty-threc years $6,o4o,ooo OF public
roi:ey. Forty-fvc OF these are Beres-
fords (the marquis is Beresford), and
one Pack Beresford, Lord Charles
Beresford-Condor Charlic-is on the
ravy list, and Lord William Beresiord,
who recently married Lily Price, the
American Dowagcr Duchess OF Marl-
borough, is on two payrolls.
The Marquis OF Anglesea is Paget.
The son-in-law OF William C. Whitney
is scion Of this stock. Thrty-four Pa
gets were carried on the national pay
rolls during the period under considcra-
ton.
Thirty Loftuses owe their devotion to
the Marquis Of Ely; thirty-two Kerrs to
Tie Marquis of Lothian; thirty-three
Alexanders to the Earl of Caledon;
thirty-fve Caulfelds to the Earl of
Charlemont; thirty-six Stopfords to the
Earl of Corntown.
Grey was one OF the most picturesque
names on the list. Besides the earl there
were thirty Greys in the public Service
and nineteen other relatives, who had
drawn over five millions of public mon
ncy. The Earl of Hopetoun had in the
service forty Hopes, Hope-Wallaces and
Hope Johnstones. His relatives also had
drawn five millions. The Earl of Kim
berley gave places to forty-two Wode-
houses, and his sixty-seven relatives
drew only less money than those OF the
Marquis OF Waterford Forty-three
Onslows owed their places to the earl of
that name. The almost unknown Earl
of Ranfurly had thirty-nin Knoxes on
the list. Except the Beresfords, those
families into which American women
have intermarried have been very mode
rate in their demands on the public
purse. The former Duke of Marlbor-
ough had only thirty-one relatives in
the service comparatively few for a
duke-the Earl Of Essex, who married
Adele Grant, but eighteen. @ NJ.

Few countries have suffered so many
changes of name as Ireland. In the
time of Ptolemy the island was known
as Scotia. Diodorus Siculus calls the
island Irs, or Irisi; in the "DeMundo, }"
credited by. some scholars to Aristotle,
it is called 1renne; in the "Argonautica
of Orpheus" it appears as Irinus; Stra-
bo calls it Irene; Caesar, Tacitus and
Pliny mention it as Hibernia; Mela
called it Juverna. The native names in
Celtic are Ir, Fri, or Erin. Plutarch
mentions it under the name of Ogygia.
The name Ireland is no doubt derived
from the native II or Fri, but when it
came into general use is a question con-
corning which scholars are much at
variance.

Friday night, shortly before 8 o'clock,
Clarence Lehman, the year old son Of
M. E. Lehman, of 1905 South Cleve-

with several companions. A playmate
kicked the ball and young Lehman

two wheels passing over him. He sus-

The buggy was occupied by two insur-

accident.

The Scoville motor lunged into the

rendered unconscious. The other three
passengers were also seriously bruised
and shocked. All were carried into
nearby stores. The two cars were
badly smashed. The motorman, whose

A crowd OF people soon surrounded the
car and the non-union men
on the Scoville avenue car. They were
particularly anxious to handle the
motorman roughly and there were
shouts of "lynch him." The crowd be-
came threatening and the police struck
several blows before the crowd gave
