1t has been the aim of the quartet to
render music of the highest grade in a
manner to captivate the most critical,
and please the popular taste as we'll.
Their success has been due quite
largely to their persistent efforts along
this line, coupled with natural ability
and careful training.
Pittsburg (Kansas} Daily Tribune:
Rounds of applause followed each
selection rendered by the Wesleyan
Quartet at the opera house last night.
The harmony in every one of the
selections was so perfect that the most
sensitive a could not detect a dis
cord. The solos were beautifully
rendered and fully merited the encores
which they received.

closes. There will not be a dull day
during the entire Assembly.

my epitaph; for as no man who knows
my motives dare now vindicate them,
ct not prejudice or ignorance aspersc

uninscribed and my memory in obliv
ion, until other times and other men
can do justice to my character. When
my country takes her place among the
nations OF the earth, then, and not till
then, let my epitaph be written" !"
That time has not yet arrived. His
tomb has remained uninscribed, but his
memory has not been suffered to rest in
oblivion. All over the earth 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 a foreign
dcspotsm. Nincty-scvcn years have
come and almost gone since the Irish
martyr suffered an ignominious death
in Dublin, but his memory is still as
green in the hearts OF his countrymcn
as the shamrock on the hillsidcs OF the
Emerald Isle. Though his native land
is still dominated by England, the pros
pect for i-govcrnmcnt 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 lat
tcr-day leaders OF the people would al
low the golden link to remain unds-
turbcd and accept parliamentary indie
pcndencc. Emmct and his compatriots
would be satisfied with nothing less
than absolute independence; while the
Irish leaders Of to-day would be thank
iul for a restoration OF native parlia-
nent under British auspices. Emmett
would place his country among the ma
tons; the present leaders would make
it a British colony. There is vast
difference Between the two conditions.
That contemplated by Emmct was in
finitely better, but he lost his life in the
attempt to obtain it.
The name of Emmett is dear to the
children OF the Gael, and this year they
will celebrate the anniversary OF his
birth with renewed enthusiasm at home
and abroad. Though a Protestant in
faith, he is almost dolizcd by his
Catholic countrymcn. The members OF
the Ancient Order of Hibcrnians, who
are Catholics to man, pay {; tribute OF
love to his memory on every recurring
anniversary and cherish the principles
for which he died on the scaffold in the
capital OF Ireland. In honoring the
memory OF Robert Emmett, they honor
themselves and the cause of Ireland, for
he was the highest type Of pure patriot
ism, unscldsh devotion, and singular
talents.

pected from her by her suffering sub
jects in Ireland. But she looked on
with heartless indifference and saw a
million and half of them die of star
vation during the manufactured famine
of :4o-'47. O'Connell pleaded in vain
for aid to his famishing countrymen,
and left Ireland broken-hearted to die
in a foreign land. The queens hus-
band, Prince Albert of Sake Coburg
Gotha, represented the feelings OF her
majesty when he brutally declared that
the Irish could eat grass. She is just
as Indifferent to the sufferings OF her
subjects in India to-day as she was to-
wards the Irish in the beginning OF her
reign.
The wars in which England has in

and Mackenzie leading the revolt,
1898.

In an address last Sunday before a
fashionable congregation in New York,
the Rev. DR.. Hugh O. Pcntccost said:
Il believe that the phrase, Lead me not
into tcmptation,' in the Lords PRAYER
is wrong. | would not pray especially
to be led into temptation, but without
temptations how may mans character
be dcvcloped?" He told his audience
that men will do as they please, and
that interference by law in the sup
preston OF vice or the regulation OF
human conduct is all wrong. He would
not suppress drinking places, gambling
houses or opium dens, but let them run
wide open. 1t seems to us that such a
sensational preacher of the gospel as
Pcntccost should get good dose OF the
law for uttcring such sentiments He
ought to have been vigorously Kissed.

If the statement be true that tobacco
can be grown in Ireland at profit OF
$500 per acre, it is not likely that many
potatoes will be grown in that country.
The chances are, however, that the
amount of profit has been grossly ex-
aggerated.-Peoria Journal. 1t matters
not whether the statement be true or
false, so long as British law prohibits
the cultivation of the narcotic weed in
Ireland. The British government raises
a big revenue from TOBACCO, and as free
trade exists between ireland and her
predominant partner" it would not do
to let the Irish grow the Virginia plant
There is no duty on potatoes, and so
long as John Bull cannot raise enough
of them for his own capacious stomach
he permits the Irish to ship them to
England free of duty. England will
never allow Ireland to develop her re-
sources as long as the enforced union
between them exists.

Adam Bede, Esq, the brilliant hu-
morist OF Pine City, is not much of an
orator himself, but he knows genuine
eloquence when he sees it in print. In
the latest issue of his Budget he gives
a portion of the beautiful Grafton of

ly appeared in the Irish Standard.
Give the rest of it, Adam. Your Irish
friends will enjoy it if they read the

Says the United Irishman, of Dublin:
Lord Dunraven is an excellent type of
mean class. Recently this gentle
man. dismissed a number of his work..
men at Askeaton, all under 90 years of
age, and his Lordslnip's wife went
among them telling them that as they
could not get work in the district they
should all join the British army. These
men were dismissed, we believe, solely
III order to force them into the ranks of
Englands battered soldiery through
fear OF starvation. Not one of them,
we are glad to say, "took the shilling"
from her Ladysl1ip. If the farmers of
the district do not provide employment
OF some sort for these unfortunate fel-
lows they will deserve the contempt of
all lrishmen.

New York courts to suppress the i'm

ing produced to crowded houses. The

the better they like it. 1t is high time
that debasing English plays like

vICTOR1A'S BLOODY REIGN.

In Our last issue we stated on the
authority of Paris newspaper that
during the reign of Queen Victoria
England has been engaged in twenty
five bloody wars, the most of which
were prompted by the greed and cupid
ity OF the nation of shopkcepers who
worship her as goddess. In the words
OF Robert Emmet to Lord Norbury,
slightly altered, eff it were possible to
collect the innocent blood that has
been shed by her soldiers during her
unllallowed reign in one great reservoir
her majesty might swim in it, In a
certain sense she may be fgurchead,
but she has never manifested any dispo
siton TO avert war of conquest and
spolation since she assembled the throne
three score years ago. She is called
"pcacc-loving" Victoria by her eulo-
gists, and every Anglo-Saxon scribbler
represents her as a paragon of excel
lencc She is said to be model OF
womanly virtues, and queen whose
heart is overhowing with the milk OF
human kindness, but the truth is she
is very ordinary, commonplace mortal
with the organ of acquisitiveness large
ly developed. Her majesty and her
large brood of good-for-nothings have
been a heavy burden for the United
Kingdom to carry, and it is matter
of astonishment to us how patiently it
has been borne by British subjects for
two generations.
She was young woman when she
donned the crown, and much was ex.

AS TO Andrew Jackson.

In reply to some one who objected to
Congressman De Almonds styling
General Jackson an Irish-American,
Thomas H. Murray writes this to the
Sun:
'''The truth is Jackson gloried in his
Irish ancestry. Let me state a single
instance: .
jackson visited Boston in Juney
1888, while president of the United
States, and stopped at TIL, fremont
House. On the ED of that month the
Charitable Irish Society of Boston
Gounded 1881 visited him in a BODY
and presented an address OF welcome.
In replying, President Jackson said:
"'I feel much gratifed, sir, at this
testimony of respect shown me by the
Charitable Irish Society of this city. It
is with great pleasure that I see so
many of the countrymen of my father
assembled on this occasion. have al
ways been proud OF my ancestry and OF
being descended from that noble race,
and rejoice that am SO nearly allied
to country which has so much to
recommend it to the good wishes OF the
world. Would to God, sir, that Irish:
men on the other side of the water en-
joyed the comforts, happiness, content
ment and liberty that we enjoy here!
"Then taking President Boyd of the
society by the hand, Jackson continued:
I am somewhat fatigued, sir, as you
may notice; but cannot allow you to
part with me until I shake hands with
you, which I do for yourself and the
whole society I assure you, sir, there
are few circumstances that have given
me more heartfelt satisfaction than this
visit. shall remember it with pleasure,
and hope you, sir, and all your society
will long enjoy health and happiness
"The above can be found in the pub
lished records of the society, in Cullen's,
Story of the Irish in Boston,, p. a.,
and in Boston newspapers of the period!1

pose of the handful" theory. The fact
that 10000 American soldiers, even
though led by a blunderer like Otis,
have been unable to crush the "insurrec-
tion' is proof positive that the "insur-
gents" are considerably more numerous
than a corporals guard. The "hand-
full of Tagals" phrase is not only pal
pable falsehood, but it constitutes any

representative in Europe. He may not

famous war expert in London is Spcn-
Ger Wilkinson. Few on this side Of the
ocean ever heard of him before, but
now he is heard OF every morning, noon

Why doesn't the war office employ him
to give pointers to Butler, Methucn and

Says the Chicago Chronicle:

Says the Chicago Chronicle: The
popular imperialistic expression that "a
mere handful of Tagals" constitute the
whole resistance to American domina-
ton in the Philippines is somewhat dis
credited by the admission of Mr.. Schur-
man that the handful" comprises 5oo,-
600 people-or about twice as many as
are holding the British empire at bay
in South Africa. 1t did not need Mr..
Schurman's admission, however, to dis
