The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1900-01-20

Through the courtesy OF an esteemed
subscriber of the Irish Standard at
Great Falls, Mont, we are enabled to
present to our readers in this days is
sue the splendid Grafton delivered by
Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher at Vir-
GINA City, on March II, 1866. 1t is a
brilliant address which is we'll worthy
OF preservation. 1t appeared in the
Boston Pilot in May, 1866, and was
given in an Anaconda paper last year.
We are not aware that it finds place
among the collected speeches of the elo-
quent Irish orator. Cut it out and get
it into a scrap book.

Rt. Rev. Anthony Gaughran, Cath
Ollie bishop of Kimberley, is an Irish
man, and yet his sympathies go with
Joe Chamberlain in his war against
Paul Kruger. II do not give to the
Beers of the Transvaal the title of
nationality" says this British pre-
late, "for they simply killed the KAT
frs fifty years ago, and they took their
places" He could have said the same
thing with equal truth of the noble

mounted and In a suitable country, IL
worth from three to five regular Brit.
ish soldiers, as Winston Churchill says
in telegram to a London paper, Bull.
Ter has not strength enough to meet
Joubert on the way to the besieged
town, and if the British forces are
defeated the second time, the next
thing in order will be to sue for peace
at any price. Young Churchill says
it will require a quarter of a million
men to subdue the Beers, and if that
is true, England might as well throw
up the sponge, for she cannot send
that number of men to South Africa
or anywhere else. The views of Win.
ston Churchill are believed to be those
of Gen. Butler and the other com
manders at the Tugela, and on that
account they are admitted to possess
Il weight to which they would not
otherwise be entitled.
The fact that British papers are ex-
aggerating the fighting strength of the
Beers is significant. First, we were
told on apparently good authority that
the two republics could not possibly
put in the field more than $4,000 men.
Allowing for casualties, that force
must have been reduced by some four
thousand, and yet British estimates
of the different forces engaged would
make them double what they were
said to be in the beginning. In fact,
it has been said that the Beers under
arms in the various localities aggre-
gate 100000. The reason why the
British are increasing the Boer forces
so rapidly is because they anticipate
disaster. OF course, the Beers have
Germans, Hollanders, French, Irish,
Americans, Scandinayians and even
English and Scotch fighting with
them, but altogether they cannot ex-
coed 5000 men.
Judging from the enlistments for
volunteer service, the English people
have no stomach for fighting the
Beers. The volunteering" is rapidly
dying down. The Scotch and Irish
care not to go to be sent to the front
while the English remain safely in the
rear And the Salisbury-C Chamberlain
gang dare not resort to CONSUMPTION.
In short, the government is in "a HI
of tiX," to use the expressive Ian
guage of n Minnesota congressman,
and when parliament meets on Jan.
30, there will be music in the foggy
atmosphere of Westminster.
Every nation Of Europe is laughing
in it's sleeve at arrogant, bellicose
John Bull. The only government on
earth that sympathizes with him in
his humiliation is that of Mark Hanna
4 Co. His "American COUSINS of
Anglo-Saxon descent share the sorrow
Of the arch-robber of mankind, but the
real sons of Columbia, both native and
adopted, are jubilant over his dis
graceful predicament. The next news
from South. Africa may announce that
the Beers have annihilated the imper-
ial forces and that the beleaguered
towns havesurresdered to the soldiers
of the. two republics. :r

The Irish generals in the queei's
service are rapidly losing their pres
tige for military genius, if we may
Judge of their inaction in the South
African war. There are five of them
now in command against the Beers.
namely, Roberts, Kitchener, White,
Clery and French; but they have done
nothing yet to show any superiority
over the English generals. There is
no Wellington among them. The fact
is that Irish generals in the service
of England are inferior to the gener-
ais in European armies. In the Amer
lean revolution they were a failure,
and i'll the Transvaal they will be like
wise. They are only able to defeat
savage tribes in Asia and Africa.

The article on the first page Of this
ing the past one hundred years makes
very sad reading. How any Irishman
can sympathize on the score of hui
manity and Righteousness with the op-
pressor of his country in attempting
to Introduce Anglo-Saxon civilization
into South Africa is a mystery to us.
God save the Beers from the blighting
influence Of British domination.

The speech made by young Mr..
Beverage of Indiana on the Philip
pine problem in the United States SEN
ate will make good campaign docu-
ment for the anti-imperialists. His ar
gument was that Of a robber, and the
republicans are already repudiating it.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, said in
the presence Of Beveridge the other
day that "the argument of the SEN
ator from Indiana is base and sordid."
So it is.

The Irish People says that Baden
Powell has shot two Irish Nationalist
in cold blood at Mafeking. One of
them was Kilkenny man named
James Quinlan, who was a station
master at the beleaguered town, and
the other was young man known to
thousands in the city of Dublin, who
left for South Africa some years ago
and had spent the greater part of his
exiled life at Mafeking. It will go
hard with Baden-Powell and the
butchering Lancers if they get within
reach Of the bayonets Of the men Of
the Irish Brigade. The word has
passed around that no quarter will be
granted to British murderers.

The following words of John F. Fin
crty in reference to Queen Victoria will
be considered rank blasphemy by the
Anglo maniacs: "The queen! the
queen!' is the English war cry. She
is their fetish. The old woman is old,
ugly, cross, obstinate as mule and un-
feeling as an icicle. But, to the Eng
lisl. she is a goddess-showing the
grossness OF the Saxon taste for idols.
