The Irish Language.

Thomas O'Donnell, M. P, who deliv
cred speech in Irish in the British
parliament, contributes an article on
the Irish language to the American
Review Of Reviews, in which he says:
Our language is the only thing that
remains to us after the struggles Of
centuries. Our lbevty and our own
land have been taken from us. While
that language remains it will ever act
as Masonic bond to link people
whom disagreement has exiled all
over the globe, and who would other
wise be lost in the multitude and lost
to their country. Our national poet has
said: "The language Of a nations
youth is the only easy and full speech
for its manhood, and for it's age, and
when the language of it's cradle goes,
itself Graves tomb" And again: "a
nation should guard its language more
than it's territory,-'tis q surer. barrier
and stronger frontier than fortress
or river"
The language and the mind of Ire
land mutually reacted upon each other.
While the language was in the first
instance the product, the growth, of
the Irish mind, leaving in its idioms
and forms of expression distinct char
acteristics of the minds which evolve
it, the minds Of future generations Of
1rishmen were shaped and developed
by the language, by its expressive
beauty, it's prayerful and religious ten.
denotes, it's mystic charm; they grew
in the natural order, forming, each
one, link in the chain of national de-
velopment, each the inheritor of the
wisdom, the culture, and refinement
Of those preceding, each drawing from
the storehouse of the past; and thus
has been developed, not in one genera.
ton, not by forced instruction, but by
slow degrees, through nearly twenty
centuries, the Irish mind and the Irish
language. The Irish mind was, even
in pagan times, essentially religious,
chaste and idealistic, docile, dutiful to
parents, passionately loyal whether to
earthly chief or heavenly King, self
sacrificing and unselfish,-a fitting soil
on which to sow the seeds, Of Chris
tianity, soil which has brought real
enduring fruit, not its semblance. or
the blossom, to decay on the appear
ance of the storm Of self-interest or
self-indulgence. That mind, with its
simplicity, its sincerity, and its deyo-
ton to the cause of religion, has come
down to us unstained, in language
which today, in the wilderness of ire
ligion. moral depravity, selfishness; and
mammon-worship. speaks only of the
beauty of simple life, relating tale
after tale to exemplify the worth OF
seif-sacrifice, of chastity. and purity.
Our language breathes of the time
when men and nations were younger.

Says the Minneapolis Journal: 1t
may be said that America and the
Irish in America are settling England's
Irish problem. The millions of Irish
people in this country act as magnets
to draw across the Atlantic the best of
the sons and daughters of Ireland, leav-
ing in the old home the aged, the very
young, the weak and the incompetent.
Unless the present tendencies are
stopped the Irish race will be COM
pfetely expatriated, and Ireland will be
to the Irish what Palestine. is to the
Hebrews-lhe race home whence the
family has departed.

John DAILY, the mayor of Limerick,
is an eccentric kind of patriot. When
recently in America he spoke rabidly
against England and wanted the Irish
to rise in rebellion right off, whether
ready or not. A few weeks ago in
limerick while presiding at meeting
of the corporation he favored an Eng
fish military band at regattas to play
'God save the King" instead of an
Irish band that would play "God save
Ireland" The corporation was evenly
divided and DAILY cast his vote for the
Saxon musicians! Rather queer, isn't
it?

of wisdom for the negroes to divide
in politics like white citizens, and then
they will fare better from both par
ties.
The Irish Standard is friend of the
colored race and wants them to enjoy
all citizen rights under the Constitu-
ton. They have made wonderful
progress since their liberation from
slavery and have displayed native abil-
ity in many ways. Next month con-
vention of negro bankers will be held
in Buffalo, N. Y. Many of them are
prominent in the professions and in
business and some are figuring in liter
allure. The whites should not speak
disparagingly of the African race.
They had to encounter prejudice and
have surmounted many difficulties and
impediments since emerging from slav-
cry. They are entitled to their rights
and must have them in spite of every
restriction and discrimination.
We deprecate the speech recently
made by Senator Tillman Of South
Carolina at Marinette, Wis, in which
he defended the crime of lynching
black men for assaults on white wom-
en-. What of lynching white men for
assaults on black women? A popula
ton of 100000 negroes in this country
have rights that white men like Till
man had better respect if he desires
peace in the South between the two
races. The proper course for the
whites to pursue in solving the negro
problem is to extend education among
them and raise them to higher in,
tellectual and moral plane. 1t will not
do to keep them ignorant and then dis.
franchise them.
The greatest man of ireland in the
nineteenth century, Daniel O'Connell,
sympathized with the negro race in
bondage and hurled his philippics
against the Shareholders. When he
received thousand pounds from the
slaveocracy of New Orleans to help the
repeal movement he ordered it sent
back. ireland is very poor" he said,
''but thank God, Ireland is not poor
enough to take the unpaid wages of
anybody"
When twenty seven West Indian
members approached him in the Brit
ish parliament and promised their
support for Ireland if he spoke for slav-
cry he said to them. as related by
Wendell Phillips: Gentlemen, God
knows that am here in the cause of
the saddest people that the sun sees;
but may my right hand forget it's cum
ming. and my tongue cleave to the
roof of my mouth, when, to help Ire
land-even Ireland-l forget the negro
for one single hour"
And so says the Irish Standard.
Though Democratic to the core we
abominate Tillman's method of the
shot gun and the lynching post. The
black man is here to stay and the stars
and stripes will protect him. Brought
here as slave by the English, he re-
manned in bondage for 245 years, when
his letters were broken and he was de-
clared free man. What he suffered
in slavery is indescribable. He will
be free while this republic lasts and
shall enjoy life and liberty like the
white man who oppressed him because
of his color.
