or having true uniOn-a union of
hearts, not paper, a union of justice,
fraternity and universal brotherhood.
During the past century England has
done it's best to eXtinguish one of the
finest nations in the world, to exile
millions of Ireland's best sons and
daughters, and to make criminals of
her noblest patriots. Misery and star
vation abounds i'm what ought to be
one of the brightest gems in the Brit
ish empire. Ireland can look back to
glorious history, which has formed
and developed the character of her
people, and made them one of the
most enterprising races in the world,
and I trust she will yet secure a
greater future, but this can only be
done by vindicating her rights and
securing to her the legitimate control
Of her own affairs. Irishmen mean
no disloyalty to England. They re-
spect England and Englishmen, and
have no desire to separate the two
countries, but rather to draw the
bonds of union closer by removing the
causes of irritation, which can only
be done by each nation respecting the
institutions and sentiments of the
other. They desire union of affection
and good villa union which shall in
crease the strength of the British en-
pire and give stability to the British
throne. Their policy is not one of
offense to England, but Of justice to
Ireland-a policy, not Of antagonism
or of discord, but of peace, conciliation
and unity. They demand the right to
manage Irish affairs on Irish soil.
They demand government Of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people.
With the opening of new century
the question arises, How much longer
is Ireland to be oppressed and mis-
governed? How much longer are the
people to he starved, driven into the
workhouse or forced to emigrate to
alien lands? Is anything to be done to
stop this continuous drain Of emigra
tion, which is sapping the life blood Of
the nation? Is anything to be done
to curtail the prostitution of the land
lords-a class of men. in my opinion.
the most soulless and tyrannical that
ever encountered Gods earth-a class
of men that may be termed the leeches
of Ireland, living solely by the blood
sucking of Ireland's best sons and
daughters. These are questions of the
most urgent and vital Importance at
the present time. The demand for
self-government is just and c0nsti-
tutional one. 1t has been handed
down from Grattan to O'Connell, from
O'ConneH to Young Ireland, from the
Young Irelanders to Butt And Parnell,
and from Parnell to the leaders Of the
present Irish Parliamentary party.
All through the past century the
struggle has gone on, and IL Ireland
is to be free and become what Daniel
O'Connell so earnestly wished for her,
the struggle must be maintained at
all hazards. Dublin Castle, with its
10000 armed soldiers and $1,000 armed
police, must be made to understand
] that it is a struggle for life or death
that they may put the whole nation

into Jail with their brute force If they
chose, but that they will never break
the national spirit of Ireland for the
Irish and the land for the people
that Ireland will remain unconuuered
so long as there is single Irishman
or 1rishwoman left. Today the spirit
OF liberty is coursing through the
veins Of the people, and no power OIL
earth will stay it, and it is the duty
of every lover Of justice and freedom
to give voice to this spirit of liberty
until the green flag Of Ireland floats
once more on the Parliament house
in College Green. The people have
thrown off the apathy of the past ten
years and have spoken out in no un-
certain voice in defense of their just
rights as nation, and may the spirit
of Grattan, Emmet and O'Connell in
spire and direct them in the struggle.
They have got a country worth fight
ing for, country worth living for
and, if needs be. country worth dy-
ing for. 1t is their duty to fight for
prosperous and happy Ireland-an Ire
land of Irishmen and Irishwomen en-
throned in all the majesty of free
DOMAIN Ireland where none who work
need want, and where those who live
in idleness will be unable to fatten on
the labor Of Others. Ireland for the
past fifty years has undoubtedly been
a "dying nation" but in the words of
Grattan: "Yet 1 do not give up the
country. I see her in n swoon. but
she is not dead-though in her tomb
she lies helpless and motionless, still
there is on her lips a spirit of life and
on her cheek a glow of beauty
Thou ant not conquered; beauty's
ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy
cheeks,
And deaths pale flag is not advanced
there
"While plank Of the vessel sticks
together 1 will not leave her; let the
courier present his flimsy sail, and
carry the light bark of his faith into
every new breath Of wind; 1 will re-
main anchored herewith fidelity to
the fortunes Of my country, faithful
to her freedom, faithful to her fall"
All honor to the brave patriots who
are engaged in the emancipation Of
down-trodden nation, and while the
fight goes on it is the duty of every,
one. both at home and abroad, to
assist in the struggle for the just
rights of the people. Let each one
take to himself the motto:
II did not seek the battle,
Nor will shun it when it comes"
May Irishmen the world over ever
stand shoulder to shoulder, strong in
the faith and the justice Of their cause.
earnest, determined and enthusiastic,
their one aim. their one object, the
liberation Of Ireland. May the open
ing Of new century be signalled by
stirring and successful fight for the
freedom of their country. 1t is for
them to realize the grand ideal:
''The nations have fallen, and thou art
still young;
Thy sun is but rising, when others
have set;

Buffalo Bills Wild West Show were
crushed to death in a railroad wreck
near Lexington, at 8 o'clock yester-
day morning. Among the horses that
were killed was "Old Pap" Colonel

and his mangled body fell on top Of

The accident was the result of g

THE FARM IN A NEW COUNTRY.
We have often wished that with the
experience accumulated since we could
try the experiment once more Of open
ing up a new farm on the frontier. We
did it once years ago and can now real
lie just what lot of blunders and mis-
takes were made; for instance, it was
fifty miles to a railroad and a grain
market, and just because everybody
else did so we broke up acres and acres
Of land and raised wheat to haul fifty
miles to sell, when if we had had any
sense at all nothing but live stock
would have been produced on the farm,
buyers for which would come to the
farm. The mania to raise grain, wheat
particularly, seems to be inseparable
from the first settlement of any new
country, when if a man would simply
raise what he needed for his own use
and turn his attention wholly to cattle
he could make a living ten times as
easy and at a much smaller expense.
The fact should be remembered by any
man locating on a new farm far re-
moved from railway facilities. We
found It out when it was too late to a.

We -.-ston, Dec. 3.-Opinions were
rendaeled in the United States SUI
preme court yesterday in the Last Of
the two insular test cases. One of
them was that known as the IA dia-
mond rings" case, involving the rela-
tionship of the United States to the
Philippine Islands from tariff point
Of view, and the other what is known
as the Dooley case, No. 2, involving
the constitutionality of the collection
Of duty on goods shipped from New
York to Porto Rico.
In the former case the court through
Chief Justice Fuller held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Phil
ippines and over which the case arose
should have been exempt from duty
under the Paris treaty of peace. as
that treaty made the Philippines
American territory. The decision in
the Philippine case followed closely
that Of the first Porto Rican case Of
last term. In the Dooley case decided
yesterday it was held that the duty
collected on goods carried from New
York to Porto Rico was permissible,
but that it was in reality a tax for the
benefit of the Porto Ricans themselves
rather than an export duty, as was
claimed by the merchants who an
tagonized the government in the case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions concurred in by four of the
nine justices of the court. The decis-
ions were rendered in the room of the
senate committee on the judiegery.
where the court is sitting temporarily,
and owing to the limited space there
were comparatively few persons, and
those lawyers, present. The delivery
of the opinions in chief, with the read
ing of the dissenting opinions, con-
sumed a little more than an hour of
time and were listened to with the
closest attention.
1t is generally believed that the
finding in the Philippine case will lead
to early efforts to secure legislation
for the regulation of our commercial
relations with those islands. AS the
Porto Rican opinion sustains the con-
stitutionality of the Foraker act no
such necessity will arise with refer
ence to Porto Rico

over four feet in the hold and remain
at that level to assist in fighting the
fire. First Officer Moxon made a dar-

of coal and amid the gas to. locate the
fire, and he succeeded in doing so. The

Washington, Dec. Mot in many
years have the members of the house
listened with such rapt attention to
the annual message of a president OF
the United States as they did yestep-
day to the reading of the first mes
sage Of President Roosevelt. Every
word was followed inten ly from the
announcement of the tragic death of
President Mckinley in the opening
sentence to the expression of the clos
ing wish that our relgtions with the

siastic demonstration on the Republi-
can side.

lowing resolution, which was adopted
