audience on 1.-The Blood of Nation" He
said that the present century would wit

Africa would have their freedom. The
speaker in emphatic terms asserted that
the present inhabitants of Great Britain
were a mere shadow of their forefathers in
point of brains and health. Mr.. Jordan
thinks that nation that POUNDS its des-
tiny on war must reach speedy decay.
He said great war saps the vitality of
the best blood of the nation.
Mr.. Jordan deprecated the fact that so
many of the best youths OF a nation are
killed during times of war. He remarked
that this accounted for the existence of a
weak nation, both mentally and physically.
The speaker declared that France, more

LETTER FROM JOHN DILLON.


Account of the War.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 4-John Dill
lon, the Irish leader in the English Par
Lament, was invited to send message to
be read at the recent banquet of the Mar
quette Club in this city, which developed
enthusiastic Boer sentiment. Mr.. Dillon's
reply, which was delayed in transmission,
has just been made public. 1t is dated
Dublin, Feb. %, and says in part:
I'm Ireland we regard the war now being
waged by the British government against
the two republics of South Africa as the
most unjust, criminal and cowardly war
of the century. In order to deceive liberal
opinion in Great Britain and abroad. pre-
text was put forward that the object of
the attacks on the republics was to secure
equal rights for the uitlanders. The falsty
of the pretext has been exposed by the fact
that uitlanders of all races except British
are fighting in the armies of the two re-
publcs To use the words of Secretary
Reits's great manifesto to the Free Staters:
According to the colonial secretary, Eng
land has constituted herself champion of
all the uitlanders. And what do We find?
On the borders, side by side with our
hundreds, Germans Irishmen, Frenchmen,
Belgians and Scandinavians, and even
Englishmen. ready to lay down their lives
in order to rid themselves of their self
constituted champion.
"All the civilized world now sees that
the real object of this conspiracy and war
against the republics of South Africa has
been, and is, to deprive the republics of
their liberty. to steal their gold mines. to
increase dividends by reducing the wages
of laborers in Johannesburg, and to estab-
Iish the ascendency of the English race
over all other races in South Africa.
WAS war ever waged for such Infamous
objects?
I'm pursuance of this conspiracy against
the liberties of South Africa that press in
Great Britain and South Africa which Is
financed or controlled by spectators and
mine owners, who are chiefly responsible
for the war; has assaied the Boer people
with torrent of calumnies and lies unpar-
alleled in human memory.
1.-The Irish people, who know from expe-
rience the bitter fruits of race ascendency
and the denial of liberty, stand to-day for
liberty and Justice In South Africa, they
stood i'm ITS for liberty and justice IN
America and we look with confidence to
the citizens of that greatest of republic,
which throughout the nineteenth century
has been the Mecca of all lovers of liberty
and the refuge of the oppressed, TO extend
its sympathy and all-powerful aid TO two
