TO HONOR PARNELL.
An Appeal to Irish-Americans
to Remember Their
Defenders.

To the Editor Of ssrhe Jersey City News
Now that the people OF this great pa
ton are honoring one OF Ameffeas
greatest heroes, it would be well 2 ad-
visabie for Irishmen and admirers OF nu-
man freedom. to take pattern and aoopt
a similar course by uniting ana nofhs
honor to one OF Ireland's greatest DEFEND
ers. The fact Of his being dead should !
think. arouse us to a sense of the dept OF
gratitude we owe to his memory
1t IS pleasing to see and learn the ex-
traordinary amount of interest and en-
thusiasm displayed since the project 81
erecting a monument to c. s Parneii
was first mentioned. But as this mem
ORAL should eclipse all past efforts O.
opr people and friends, we should make
strenuous efforts to make 1t a monu-
nsent worthy OF the man, Of his genius
and the cause he so nob1y defended-
Let me ask ARE we not a liteie SLOW
about giving expression to the eloquent
appeal Of Messrs. Talon and
Let our reply and reception to them pc
one to be remembered as one Of the
greatest of Irish nationahty
ever known In New York. Let them re-
turn to Ireland well strengthened n
fortified with the knowledge that the
memory of Erin's patriot are cherished
by the Irish people the world wide. At
this present time would It not be well to
suggest that the hospitality Of New York
be given the visiting Chief Magistrate
of Ireland's c-apital-Dublin City.
/ am sure the popular and patriotic
Mayor Van Wyck would be pleased to
tender the freedom of New York, II re-
ouested, to those two distinguished and
honorable Irishmen, Messrs. Talon and
Redmond.
Probably it is not generally known that
the hand Of the u~nrelentIess evicter IS
about to reach the home Of the Parnells
at Avondale, County wicklow. Ireland.
win we Irishmen n Irishwomen allow
or submit the old historic homestead to
pass out of the hands Of this noble
family?I proclaim your answer as No.
Let us speak out. Unite.
Send 1t forth to the civilized world
that Ireland's sons and daughters are
not sleeping, but awake; that he hopes
and aspirations Of the fllustrious and un-
purehasable ParneIl are as strong and
enshrined on our hearts as they were IN
the days of his power M fame, when
he shattered to pieces the hypocrisy and
tyrannical Government Of England.
