lives in ignorance and drudgery, if
not worse, because their parents
need CD the pittance earned by the
little ones? In this country at least
the child has rights of which even
the parents can not justly deprive
it; it has the right to growth,
health and an equal chance in life;
education is essential to any posi-

TRIBUTE TO O'DONNELL.

At the time of the release of the las
Irish prisoners confined in British prison
we published brief account of the kill
ing by O'Donnell of Carey, the informer
On this incident eva" of the Nation
Mrs. Kelvin 1. O'Dogherty, founded tn
following stirring poem, which we pub
lish by request:
Place me before yon scarlet ranks,
A thousand men and more,
And though the chain around me clanks
I'll keep the oath 1 swore!
Plant gun and bayonet to my teeth,
And let them pierce me through;
But while hearts within my breast
I'll never speak for you
You brought me here an honest man,
You shall not make me slave
No eye shall ever "Traitor" scan
Upon O'Donnell's grave.
The darkest wrong your power can do
Can alter not the vow
Which says my children meier shall see
That brand upon my brow!
The true mans words are borne aloft,
To shine among the stars;
We cherish them within our hearts
Despite of bolts and bars.
Mid all our sorrows and our wrongs,
Our deep and burning shame,
The brighter, purer for it all
Appears O'Donnells name!

DEMANDS SUPREMACY"


England's long drawn out and
roundabout way of stating her
grievances and demands in the
Transvaal controversy having
proven Intellectual in cajoling the
Beers, and her threats and war
preparations to scare them into
losing sight of her real purpose,
she has at last been exposed and
been convicted of falsehood as well.
The dispatches generally published
have emanated from London, and
stated the demands of England to
be the enfranchisement of the Out
landers (aliens), their right to hold
Office and full protection and equal
privileges in their business enter
prises, and it was sought to impress
the general public with the idea
that the persistent refusal of the
Beers to concede these just de-
mands would leave England no
other alternative but resort to
force to obtain them. The firm,
statesmanlike replies of the Beers,
despite London censorship, have
found their way to the public prints
and refuted English falsehood as
we'll as show that England, instead
of demanding what was right under
treaty, was making demands in
utter violation of treaty provisions;
that instead of the Beers obstinately
refusing just demands, they were
ready to concede all that the treaty

All will welcome the return OF
the good days for labor of the old
Trades and Labor Assembly, when
the workmen of the three Falls
Cities were united in harmony and
strength in one body. The Central
Labor Union took the preliminary
steps at its last meeting, and we will
soon have the labor unions of New
Albany and Jacksonville represent
ed in that body. Not only will this
be boon to our brothers across the
river, who have been practically
without protection for years, but a
benefit to Louisville workmen as
we'll; for in the old days some of
the ablest and truest friends and
workers for labor hailed from across
the river, and their advice and eff
forts were always along the right
line, resulting in good to all.

The hearty reception accorded
Upton, the owner of the cup con-
testant Shamrock, at the Dewey
reception in New York demonstrates
that the American people respect
and honor the man for his worth
and energy. His manly acknowl-
edgment of the ovation showed that
he accepted it in the proper spirit.
Though rich and titled, his success
has not turned his head. He is
polite, social, a man of the people;
foreigner, he greatly appreciated
the welcome and hospitality that
greeted him, but concluded with the
frank assertion that he had come to
this country with the purpose of
taking a piece of American prop
erty back with him-the cup.
Well, while all of us hope the
Columbia will beat his yacht and
keep the.cup in America, yet if it
is to be that we are to lose, all will
agree that they know of none they
would rather win and have it than
Sir Upton with his Shamrock.

For several years we have heard
of.Theodore Hallam, of Covington,
but never heard him till last week.
He is an able, convincing and most
entertaining speaker-one of the
kind we would prefer to have OH
our side than against us. OF course,
in the heat of the campaign, Mr..
Hallam is being abused, but he is a
gentleman to whom our people are
under obligations for many past
favors, even though they may not
agree with him politically.

THEATRICALS.

The bill at the Temple next week will
be the celebrated play, "The Ironmas-
ter" in which the Kendalls scored their
triumph. 1t is truly great story that is
intensely dramatic. The remarkable
success is not surprising, for it presents
a charming love tale with directness
and force unequaled in French fiction.
1t is by George Ohnet, the French author,
and the adoption for the Temple is made
by Director Duane. The play has never
been offered here at popular prices and
has not been seen in Louisville since 1894.
MI. Brophy will have an admirable role
as the Ironmaster, and the whole COM
pany will be seen to advantage. The
mounting and scenery will be up to usual
high standary. The sale of seats is already
very large.

TURN OUT WITH THE ELKS.

The parade inaugurating the
Elks' street fair next Monday
promises to be monster affair, as
it should. The Elks seem to be
everybody's friends, and their cor
dial invitation has been generally
accepted by the various military,
civic end beneficiary organizations,
which will join in the parade. The
Irish American division should be
one of the most prominent, if, in
deed, it does not eclipse all others.
Not only all members of the vari-
Gus Irish American societies should
come out, but all h-Americans
and their friends should join with
them. Let the Irish Americans
prove their appreciation of the
Elks' courtesy and their interest in
the welfare of the city by partici-
pating heartily in this celebration.
All who do not belong to organiza-
tons or whose organizations do not
take part in the parade should join
in and swell the Irish American di-
vision, where they will be welcome.
OF course there are many anxious
to be in the parade whose employ
ment will deter them. and their
places ought to be filled by others
who can spare the time.
The programme, place and time of
meeting, order of forming and route
of procession appear in another
column. Turn out and swell the
ranks.
And don't forget to decorate
your houses, even if not on the
route. Hang out the hags-the
star-spangled banner and Erin's
green-a fitting blending of colors.
1t is Louisville's celebration, the
Elks' festival, and they invite and
welcome all nations and al. creeds
to unite with them in the display
and jubilation. Hang out your
banners, turn out in the parade and
visit the street fair.
Get a hustle on you, enter
earnestly into the affair, make it
success for the advancement OF
Louisville, and to the credit OF its
promoters and managers, the Elks,
who have striven hard, sacrificing
time and money to inaugurate and
carry out the scheme. 1t deserves
success and the Elks deserve the
credit. The Elks have done their
part; do yours and show your pub
lie spirit and interest in our city's
welfare. Decorate and turn out
Monday.

mean, and submit other matters to
arbitration, under the treaty of
1884; that England, failing to estab-
lish a false understanding of the
treaty of 1884, repudiated it, and
was seeking to coerce the Beers
into granting more than the treaty
of 1884 called for.
And now comes the last English
lie: That the last note of England
to the Beers was non-committal,
merely deferred a final ultimatum
in the matter. A telegram from
the Transvaal gives the gist of
England's last note, which proves
her treachery and also shows her
real purpose to be the subjugation
of the Transvaal, in violation of
treaty and law, viz: Indemnity
for the cost of sending out troops,
disarmament of Transvaal forts,
suppression of DR.. Leyd's legation,
judicial and legislative independ-
ence of the judges, equality of the
English and Dutch languages, COM
plete admission of the supremacy
of British interest throughout
South Africa"
Quite different from anything
England has given out as her de-
mands heretofore; not a word about
franchise, property rights or bust
ness intesests of Outlanders; no
allusion even to the treaty with the
Transvaal, the only basis under
which England can have any Just
claim; the claim of the robber and
bully, in direct contrast to the
statements of her demands given
to the public.
Of course the Beers will reject
these demands and fight to the
death rather than submit to a sur
render of their rights and liberties
as a nation to become a mere
province and British subjects. This
is fully expected, as troops and
munitions of war are being rushed
to Africa to enforce the demands,
and all is excitement and hurrah in
British circles. The Beers are firm
and actively preparing to resist the
English invasion, if it comes.
Thus, if England's warlike de-
mands and preparations are bluff,
it will fail; if in earnest there will
be a desperate war, the end of
which is not discernible, since it is
England's declared purpose to es-
tablish "the supremacy of British
interests throughout South Africa, "
proposition to which others than
the Beers will demur, and probably
interpose objections that will cause
England to halt and refrain, as she
has frequently done recently in
other sections. The supremacy
of British interests" are not recog-
nized in this age of commercial
progress and advancement; all ma
tons claim the right to a share in
the worlds trade, and recently they
have enforced this claim. South
Africa will hardly be an exception.

burlesque attractions that it is only neces-
sary to mention those names to insure the
public that they will get an attraction
composed of the very best the market
affords. The new burlesques, which open
and close the performance are calculated
to please the most fastidious mind. The
several musical numbers which are clev-
erly interpersed in the action of the play
have sllbeen specially written and con-
tain some very catchy numbers.

Of course this is only a report,
since the vote of individual mem

is secret, and to divulge it is pun
ishable by law. 1t is therefore
not known how the members of the

amounted to remission of penalty
pardon-which was granted.
