The Irish standard., 1901-11-02

Ireland will apprecite. Mr.. Davitt
has made this point plain in the
States. He denounced emigration I'M
til even the most cynical We're COM
PEELED to listen. And we may take it
for granted that Irish America
thoroughly understands the circum-
stances under which the chairman of
the Irish party, Mr.. Z. a. McHugh. NJ.
P, and Mr.. Thomas ODonnell. NJ. T..
will appeal for support for the nation
al movement next month.
If any doubts remain as to the atti-
tude of the United Irish League and
the parliamentary party, they would
be dispelled by Nh. Redmond's pro-
nounccment at Waterford. Unity was
restored to Ireland by the United Irish
League. The flame llindlcd in il small
room in Westport lit up all the land.
The league drew the people together,
and the united people elected an unit
ed party as able and daring as over
did battle for Il country cnslHvcd. Ire
land chose its party; Ireland has
maintained them. During fourteen
months this reunited Ireland has rails
ed f3OO0n-aftcr all. less than one
three-hundrcdth of the amount an
nualy proved from us by landlord
vulturcS-for national purposes. The
Irish cNilcs in Great Britain have
nobly helped. Irish America has done
nOthing-or next to nothing.
The members of the national parli;l-
mcntary party are lrclanIs own ser
wants, and Ireland will maintain
them. What we need is assistance in
the Irish campaign ut home against
England's domination and landlord
oppression.
This has been plainly stated by Mr.
Redmond.
Il am not going to Americas" he
says, Ito make Il begging appeal.
am going to say to our cOuntrymcn
in America that so far as the ncces-
''tti y support vi WV patty IL ColCtl lltt
we are ourselves confident in the sup
port OF our own countrymcn Mt home
Ii they chose to stand out as they
have for the past ten years. and not
give any assistance, we'll. we will say
to them, we can fight our battles
without YOU l am. therefore, not
going to make any begging appeal.
but l am going to America to put the
true facts of the situation before the
Americans and h-Amcrcans, and
/ am quite convinced that the result
will be that for the United Irish
League movement. to save the rem
nant of tho Irish race, we will i'm the
near future obtain as generous and
wholc-heartcd assistance from Amcr-
ca as ever was poured into the ma
tional Golfers in the past"
We have no need to fear 1.-THE
Irish in America will not CHOOSE To
stand out" Anxious as the British
government are that they should do
SO-will and desperate as are the Of
forts made by the lnttcr-,lay genera

lead our friends by circulating gutter
leaflets ana pamphlets full of ntroci-
GUS calunnicS-thc great heart of
Irish America will probably respond
to the call of the mothrrand When
parliament reaSScmbcS next year. Mr..
Redmond and his colleagues will be
in their places. And they will have
come back from the great republic
which shelters 15,OOO. 900 of our Dco-
