the fire and vigor Of his own nature
and of the unAinching patriotism,
which, next to his devotion to Mother
Church, has been the guiding star OF
his noble life. Thenceforward his
place in the heart OF the nation was as
sured; and when he threw himself with
all his soul into the Land League agi-
tation, and stood, very Lion Of the
fold of Judah" between his people
and their oppressors, the weakest
amongst us grew strong and the boldest
amongst the nations enemies trem-
bled.
For all men recognized in the Arch
bishop of Cashel champion OF the
peoples rights who could neither be
conquered nor intimdated-a states
man with the soul of warrior Of the
days of chivalry-a patriot of the
purest type-a prelate sprung from the
peoples ranks, and with the people OF
his hearts love to the last.
This is not the time to dwell upon
the incidents Of DR.. Croke's connection
with Irish public life during the
past twenty years. 1t will be a thrilling
story to tell in future days. Advanc
ing years have not dimmed the ardent
fire of the great archbishop's love for
his country and his people. He has
not latterly taken an active part in
politics; but Our readers will remember
that last year he was first amongst the
Irish prelates to send warm-hlarted
letter Of approval and generous sub
scription to the United Irish League.
And we may be pardoned for men
tioning in this number OF "The Irish
People" that one Of the first sub
scribers to our journal was the prelate
whose portrait we present to our read
ers to-day. 1t will be treasured by one
and all as the portrait OF the greatest
living member OF the Irish race.

the field, and right we'll they deserve it.
The men around me were moved down
like grass, and it's Gods will that got
free.
After asking his 'dear chum" to con-
vey his best wishes and kind remem-
brance to number of friends and ac-
quaintances, the letter continues am
sending you little fern off the battle
field that I plucked, and if it could talk
it would tell pitiful tale. Dear chum,
it will take us al}our time to fight the
. Beers, and we will lose Our men in
hundreds. We and the Dublins and
the Inniskillings fought side by side,
and the Naval Brigade, and that will
tell you enough when three Irish regi-
ments and the Naval Brigade could not
knock them out. Dear chum, by the
time you get this letter the Beers may
be beaten, and I hope so. The hard
ship is awful. We get up and stand to
arms at three o'clock in the morning,
so I can tell you it is almost killing
us. Dear chun, write soon, and tell
me how everything is going on, and 1
hope to send you more spirited letter
next time if l am alive.

bered and to have his love conveyed to

Defending Father Tom Burke.

In making some would-be sarcastic
comments on Mr.. John T. Keating's
successful protest against the introduce
ton of lying English histories into the
public schools of Chicago, the New
York Times published sneaking and
insulting attack upon historical state
ments made by the late Rev. Father
Tom Burke, the distinguished Domini-
can priest, who exposed Froude's false
hoods concerning Irish history. That
portion of the Times editorial which in
suits the memory of the great Domini-
can reads as follows:

have furnished it, but we have reason to
believe that he is dead. That is the

planned to his flock, that while England
was still sunk in ignorance and barbar
ism, ireland was flourishing in the hey
day of civilization, having noble towers,
stately castles, Conservatives of music,
and Libraries filled with thousands and
thousands OF volumes of the most beau
tiful poetry"
Fir. Mclaughlin, of New York, sent
the following answer to the Times:
In an editorial last Saturday, speak
ing of a certain enthusiastic Hibernian
of Chicago who objects to what he con-
siders biased version of English his
tory, taught in the schools, you go out
OF your way to insult the memory of an
eloquent and learned Irish priest by i'm
pugning his veracity and causting ridi-
Guile upon his statements.
The priest you spoke of was the ia
nous Father Tom Burke, without
doubt one of the greatest Irish scholars
and the greatest Engish-speaking pull
pit orator of the century, What he said
concerning the culture and proficiency
in the art of music and the civilization
of the Celts of the early centuries, as
compared with the English of the same
period, was not Pigment of magma
ton, but merely recital of historical
facts. If you doubt this, you have but
to read carefully the old annals of the
Four Masters or seek information in
the monasteries OF Europe. You may
not be aware of the fact that the most
numerous collection OF ancient parch-
ments now existing are written in the
ancient Irish language. l think that
your would-be witty reference of the
"po'try" of Ireland showed that your
argument was so weak that you
thought ridicule would serve to make
your readers laugh. Ridicule, however,
is poor answer to facts. If Father
Burke is dead, there are any number OF
priests OF Irish origin who will be per.
fectly willing to prove to you, by ap-
pealing to historical facts, the truth of
what Father Burke said concerning the
relative civilization of England and Ire
land in the ancient times

Irish Michael Mah0ney.

Like a sturdy Irish rebel, where tn,
swift Tugela roars,
Is Irish Michael Mahony, a-fghting TO-
the Beers;
Not fighting for the Queen, my lads
nor for battered crown,
Is rebel Michael Mahony, from Tippe
rary town.
There was nothing like wild hurraf
when Mahony marched away,
Nor majors great, nor captains, thun.
dered orders to obey;
He was major, captain, private, too
and his heart was in command,
When he stepped aboard the steamer
that was headed for the Rand.
With sprig of shamrock near his
heart, plucked from old Slievena-
mon,
He jumped upon the Durham wharf
and hailed the rising sun,
And he sang not "Rule Britannia" nor
my lads, "God Save the Queen
But a stave of Fenian treason" and
the "Wearin of the Green"
One look upon the sunlit sea, one to-
ward his Irish land,
And rebel Michael Mahony was tramp
ing for the Rand;
Across the veldt he's gone to stay
where Maxins grimly frown,
And Paul Kruger's hardest fighter is
from Tipperary town.
The veldt is still beneath his feet, the
sun is warm and white,
And rebel Michael Mahony's eye is or
his rifle sight,
He's foremost on the firing line, just
carving out renown-
For the cause OF glorious freedom and
for Tipperary town.
And from his homo across sea at
Irish colleen's prayer
Comes whispering to. the battlefield
where missiles fill the air:
"God bless Mikes flying bullets, may
each bring Saxon down.
They do-ior Fenians learn to shoot ir

long standing, and it is the duty OF
every Irishman to assist in redressing
them. They will never be fully redress

is no good reason why the land of the
country, the rich productive land OF the
country, now the home of hocks and
herds, should not be parcelled out, and
given to the people to cultivate and live
on, those ranches which are now OF
practically little profit to the graziers
Let no one say the thing is impracti-
cable. The machinery and the means

to purchase those lands and to COM

lord, occupier and if there be any
others. These funds can be taken
from the British Treasury, and when
the work is completed that Treasury
will be in Ireland's debt. You can lend

A Connaught Rangers Letter.

The following letter has been re-
ceived in Mullingar from reserve man
of the 1st Battalion of the Connaught
Rangers
1st Connaught Rangers, S. Africa.
Dec. Goth, 1899.
Dear Chum-I am writing you let
ter after the greatest battle ever fought,
and that was the Battle of Colenso,
when I was in the front fighting line
and got away safe. Dear chum you
will see all in the paper by the time
you get this letter. I cannot find words
to tell you how fierce the battle was
Our regiment lost 100 killed and
wounded. The Beers were entrenched
in the strongest position you could
think of. The General did not know
they were there, and when we got as
near as 500 yards the Beers opened fire
and shot down the Irish brigade like
dogs. The Irish brigade lost all told
1,14o men, so that will give you an in
sight of the great battle. Dear chum,
l will not forget it the longest day I
ever live and that may not be long, but
God is good, and may spare me for
long time. I carried an officer and two
men in off the field in hail of bullets,
and so did lot of our men do the
same. 1t was an awful day. General
Butler mentioned our regiment in des-

The Tugela.

Have you heard how Redvers Butler
crossed the Tugela?
The Tugela-the Tugela,
He made the Bugler sound the little
bugle-a,
The Bugle-a, the Bugle-a,
Then he crossed with bag and baggage,
tho the banks were awful steep;
Some Beers were a'bathing and the
others were asleep;
But when they saw his British pluck
they all began to weep
BY the Tugela-the Tugela..
Said Butler: "This is easy; who'd ha'
thought they'd let us pass
Ger the Tugela-the Tugela
If they only trained their cannon they
could NOV us down like grass,
By the Tugela-the Tugela.
But now that we are over let US take
this Spion Kop;
Well surely be in clover if we only gel
on top;
Well plant the lyddite naval guns and
make the Beers hop
From the Tugela-the Tugela.
So they charged the Spion Kopje and
the Beers ran away

And they cheered for Queen Victoria

down with the Transvaal;
Our motto, what we have we'll hold
was never known to fail,
Tomorrow evening, Ladysmith, wei
enter it by rail
From the Tugela-the Tugela.'
There's something going to happen
there is silence grim as death

low from the shaking mountain come

By the Tugela-the Tugela.
Now from the shaking mountain comes
horrid burst of sound
The awful screaming shrapnel shells
make havoc all around!
A hundred moaning victims there lie
bleeding on the ground
By the Tugela-the Tugela!
Then Butler thought again he'd cross
the Tugela,
The Tugela-The Tugela,
He made the little Bugler sound the
bugle-a,
The Bugle-a-The Bugle-a.
He left thousand wounded to the
mercy of the foe,
Then sprinted thro' the watercoursc-
his progress wasn't slow;
The cruel Beers with shot and shell,
they kept him on the go,
From the Tugela-The Tugela.
