ARRANGEMENT OF M'KlNLEY
An Address Issued by Prominent Irish
Americans.

The Irisl-Amcrican Union of Amer
lea, Of which Hon. Patrick Egan Is
president. and composed largely of
rish-Americans of pro-Rcpublican
affiliations, has issued an address and
declaration of principles to the voters
of the United States, which ab0unds
in deDunciation of the present Rcpub-
lican administration. President Egan,
it will be remembered, has al
ways been Republican. and during
HarrisOn's administration was minis
ter to Chill. The address is in part
as follows:
1--WE Arraign the present. Rcpubli-
can administration as false to the
tcachings of the party of Lincoln. of
Seward. and of Blaine and point out
that II has failed to maintain the
principles of the founders of the re-
public.
'ln entering upon an unauthorized
and unnecessary war OF conquest and
subjugation in the Philippine islands,
thus subverting the doctrine of the
Declaration of Indcpcndcnce-thnt all
government derives it's just power
from the consent of the governed
"In making Porto Rico n colony. as
of an empire, thus establishing upon
these shores the novel and monstrous
doctrines that-tlc constitution does
not follow the flag-and that the pres
ident and congress have powers of
government outside of and apart
from those given by the constitution.
"And, most disgraceful of all, in
making secret agreement whereby
the power and influence of this great
republic have been turned over TO
Chamberlain ct al, to be used MS the
only weapon left to them with which
to ward Off the ruin which is impend-
ing over England, thus violating, mt
once, the advice of Washington and
Jefferson against all eltangling alli-
ances, and been guilty Of the folly of
allyihg us with the only nation in Eu-
rope whose falling fortunes could af-
ford us no return for the sacrifices we
are called upon to make. Disgraceful
at any time, such an alliance is d0ub-
~ SO when made while England Is
using all Of her power in an attempt
to crush out the life of the two little
South African republics, whose mag
nificcnt fight against Overwhelming
odds has excited the wonder and adj
miration of mankind.
1--WE call upon every man of Irish
blood in this country to remember
what the men Of his race have done
In the upbuilding of the institutions
Of this country; to rally to the sup
port Of the principles which in the
past have enabled these United
States, in little more than a century.
to grow from struggling republic of
three millions Of people into IL gigall-
tic republic of seventy-fve millions of
people; and remaining true to the ira
ditions Of the Irish race the world
over, to choose the side of right and
freedom rather than that Of conquest

j. GRATTAN GRAY.
Exiled from Australia for His Boer
SympathieS.

Symp2lnleS.
j. Grattan Gray, who has served
twenty-five years as editor of the pro-
ceedings of the New Zealand parlia-
been exiled from that country by the
action of the jingoes, passed through
Chicago the other day en- route to
London.
Mr.. Gray has been offered seat in
the British House of Commons by an
Irish constituency. After spending a
few days in London he and his wife
will go to Ireland.
Mr.. Gray says that jingoism is
worse In New Zealand at present
than it has ever been before. and he
adds that Premier Seldom is the arch.
lingo. In an interview he made the
assertion that Seldom takes advant-
age of every opportunity to tiatter
Joseph Chamberlain. who, he en-
poets, will give him Il baronetcy for
his services.
''The conduct of the premier and
his followers has dealt Il serious blow
to the freedom of speech and thought
in Australia" said Mr.. Gray Il
have learned that the people of the
United States know but little CON
corning the condition OF affairs in
that country.
''The iron rule Of the jingoes is Sc,
we're and is an injustice to all the
people who believe in speaking their
minds. My wife and myself. along
with others, were practically banished
from the country.
MIR. Gray took Il decisive stand in
favor of President Kruger and Steyn
ut the outbreak of the war. He bit
tcrly condemned the action of Eng
land in sending troops to South AZ
RIGA. and later printed pamphlets on
| the subject. This aroused much i'll
dignation against him. The matter
was called to the attention of parli,-
ment and II special committee recon-
mcndcd his dismissal from his par
liamentary position. Mr.. Gray was
oustcd without being given an oppor-
tunity to defend himself.
Several attempts were made on the
part of the government to break up
meetings held in Wellington, Mel
bourne and other cities in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray, but every one
was II failure.
| Mr.. Gray is we'll known as news
paper writer, having been connected
with the literary staff of the Mel
bourne Age for eighteen years, and
for twelve years he acted rs the Aus
tralasian correspondent for the New
| York Times.
His wife will write the introduc.
ton to Il book Mr.. Gray intends to
/ publish, in which he will describe the
methods of the iingoes.

Irish Service to America.

Last Sunday before tie Henry
George association of Chicago, DR..
julia Holmes Smith l.ctured on
"America's Indebtedness to Ireland.'
n large audience heard tell of the
aid and assistance IriShm>n lave
given the cause OF American liberty
and of their services in raising the
United States to the front rank among
the nations of the world.
"Thc. subject upon which am going
to speak" said Mrs. Smith in begin
ming her address. "is an especially ap-
propriate one to this organization. AS
| understand it. the Henry George as
sociation believes that every person is
entitled to his own little bit of ground,
but in landlortl-curscd Ireland the
grinding down of the tenant pcasantry
is among the chief causes of dissatis-
faction
| Mrs. Smith then dwelt upon the sub
iect of nndlor,tship as il appears in
Ireland. Practically all OF the big
landlord owners, she said, were Eng
lishmen or lrislmcn who lived in Eng
land. AS absentccs they left their
| interests in the hands of agents who
could make 10 concessions and as Il
result the Irish pcas;lntry were dread
| fully oppressed.
| The speaker compared tie present
condition of the Irish peasant with
that of the negro before the civil war
and said that while the freshman had
liberty, theoretically, lie was much
worse Off to-day than the slave whose
interests were his masters and whose
masters interests were his
"Landlorlism and constitutional
tyranny compelled thousands of Irish
men to leave their homes and cross
the seas" said Mrs. Smith, "in search
of liberty and u chance to found n
home. 10 these Irish forefatllers Of
ours we owe mucli; the Quickcning of
our national life, our poetry, our
grnnlest thoughts and o,lr yrrntGst
deeds can all be traced to the infusion
of the hot, npulsive Irish blood into
the citizens OF the new republic.
"In 1850 IN English commission is
80 women between the ages Of II and
45 years and an equal number of men
between the same ages to the colonies
of New England. The grand old
sturdy stock of New England is in
dcbted to the admixture of that Irish
blood for the mark it has left upon
the history of this nation and the
world. In 172S 5000 Irsllmcn landed
in Philadelphia and spread throughout
that state.
"The roster of revolutionary officers
| and heroes contains more names Of
lrislmen than of any other national
ity. In the civil war, 10000 Irish
men took arms IN defense OF the union
and history tells us they were ever to
the fore. The Irish regiments suf-
fcrcd fcarfully throughout the most
awful civil war of history, but they
made the sacrifice without a murmur.
They are today fighting in the Philip
pines and dying for a flag that theO-
reticnlly stands for protection to all
and special privileges to none. Sup
porting a banner Of freedom that Is
now waving where IT has no right"

Battle Hymn Of the Republic.

Mine eyes have. seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord;
He is trnnpling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath lOOsed the Hateful lightning of
his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
] have seen him in the watcll-fires Of
a hundred circling camps;
They have buildcd him an altar in the
evening dcws and dnmps;
] have read his righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching Oh.
l have read fiery gospel writ in bur
nishcd rows of steel;
"As We deal with my contemners, SO
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on"
lie has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before his judgment seat;
o, be swift, my soul, to answer him,
"Be jubilant, my feet"
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea;
With glory in his BOSOM that trans

AS he died to make men hOlv- let us
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
