strength and her weakness, her re-
Quirements and her sentiments. They
will never betray her cause, although

reach her expectations. But at each

make the British minister tremble for

palmy days used to do. (Applause.)"
Mayor DAILY has demonstrated his
love for Ireland by spending years in
British bastiles. Nobody questions
his patriotism, but they question his
judgment if at this time he prefers
fighting in Ireland to speaking in the
British parliament. 1t is all right for
the Irish at home to be ready for an
emergency but how can they have a
physical force organization in that
country? With $4,000 constabulary
scattered throughout the island it is
impossible for the Irish people to es-
cape their vigilance. Better for the
Irish to watch and wait and keep quiet
until England has her hands full. The
majority of the Irish people have con-
fidence in their parliamentary repro
sentatives. They are not "perjured
traitors" as Mayor Daily calls them,
but men who are ready to make any
sacrifices either in or out of parlia-
ment to: elevate Ireland to the rank of
a free nation.
Mayor DAILY would be laughed at if
he spoke in Limerick as he did in Chi
'cago. He was never more patriotic
than Davitt, nor did he suffer more
than he did in British prisons; and yet
Davitt is quite conservative just now
and is not urging his countrymen into
a premature revolution. Ireland can
stand British tyranny a little while
longer. England is on the down grade,
and the first war with a frstclass
power will destroy her for ever. She
is already well crippled: But the time
for Irish action has not yet come.

War he enlisted in New York regi-

TO FIGHT OR NOT TO FIGHT.

Many Irish patriots on both sides Of
the Atlantic are growing weary of par
liamentary agitation and painting for
war with England. They believe
that Ireland can never obtain justice
from her oppressor by constitutional
methods and that physical force is
necessary. Mayor John DAILY, Of
limerick, believes that resort to
arms is preferable to moral suaslon.
In speech at Chicago on March 2 he
gave vent to his patriotic feelings as
follows:
Common sense has taught us that
the time for action has come, and that
If we negotiate any longer it should
be after the fashion of Kruger and
his cabinet. There is no earthly hope
for Ireland except by the method
which every country has had to adopt
since the first struggle for freedom.
Let us no longer send men to parlia-
ment to become perjured traitors by
swearing allegiance to the power
which is ever ready to kill our people.
Let us not ring the changes on liberty.
The time has come when we must
prove our words or eat them. Even
now it is whispered about that Eng
land will make a CONSUMPTION. She
must. have soldiers. Will you stand
by and see your brothers driven like
sheep to fight for England? If you
do shame upon you. Stop your bicker-
ing and hypocrisy and settle down to
work for Independence. Any man in
Ireland who is worth his salt today

We must be ready to take advantage
of the opportunity. France may strike

public is looking for the chance, and
when she does what will Ireland do?"
Two evenings afterward John Il.
Finerty, a military man who fought
In the Civil War, and who went with
the Fenians into Canada in 1866 re-
piled to Mayor DAILY in sensible adj
dress as follows:
"Who will arm the Irish people, who

great saint odious in their Anglo-Sax-
on literature. The name of Patrick is
an honorable one. 1t means "a noble
man," and yet the ridicule cast upon
it by English writer's has caused the
Irish people, in many cases, to discard
it. The name of Ireland's patron
saint has been made n byword by Ire
lands oppressors, and weakened
Irishmen at home and abroad no long
er bestow the glorious name on their
children.
Some sons of Irishmen who have
been christened Patrick reject the
name when they grow up to
manhood in order to conceal
their nationality. Within the past
week we have had an instance of
this in the case of Judge Elbridge
Hanecy, Republican candidate for
mayor of Chicago, if Hearsts Chicago
American is to be believed. According
to the citizens of the township of Trcn-
ton, near Fox Lake, Wis, his real
name is Patrick Elbridge Hennessey.
His father, William Hennessey, was a
pioneer of that place, and his mother,
Mary Wells, gave him his middle
name in compliment to Elbridgc
Van Epps, Il merchant and
capitalist of Beaver Dam, whom she
greatly admired. Many of the early
settlers of Dodge county, Wis, remem-
Der the family as Hennessey, and
other members of it call themselves by
that name and have not changed it's
spelling. Judge Hanecy has not only
got rid of the baptismal name Of Pat
rick and mutilated his family name,
but he has also abandoned the faith
of st. Patrick, according to the Chi
cago paper. His ancestors preserved
the faith for ages in the midst of Eng
lisf persecution in Ireland, and this
descendant of theirs in the land of
religious freedom gives it up for
mess of pottage.
The men and women of the Irish
race and Catholic faith in America
ought to feel proud Of their forefathers
in Ireland. They made every sacri-
flee to keep the faith taught by the
good saint whose anniversary is cele-
brated tomorrow in every habitable
part of the earth. Is tito be lost by
their descendants in the land of Co
lumbus? No. A few may become
renegades, but the great majority of
them will never apostatize.
The sons of st. Patrick in the North
west have not lost their enthusiasm
for faith or fatherland. Tomorrow
they will celebrate the day on a mag
nificent scale in the capital city of
Minnesota. A grand parade will take
place on Sunday afternoon in st. Paul
after high mass at the Cathedral, i'll
which thousands will participate. 1t
will be entirely under the auspices of
that patriotic organization known as
the Ancient Order of Hibernians. 1t
is the first demonstration of the kind
in the city in twelve years on the Irish
national holiday, and every effort is
being made by the promoters to give
their brethren a magnificent treat OH
this anniversary, and to show their fcl-
low citizens of other races that the
faith and nationality of Ireland are us
green in their hearts as the shamrocks
upon the hillsides and in the valleys of
the Emerald Isle. Every man of Irish
birth or descent in the state will be ac-
corded a. hearty welcome to join in the
procession and partakc of the hospi-
tality of the A. o. II. of Ramsey
county.

Bryan says: BY cruel fate Ireland,
although she has given to the world
some of the truest patriots and some
of the strongest pleas in behalf of pop

ress toward the goal of her ambition
than almost any other country. She
has been preaching liberty, but has
not been permitted to enjoy it. Surely
her hope cannot be deferred forever;

At recent banquet of the Loyal

expressed a sentiment which struck
a popular chord when he said if the

applauded his utterance, but what will
the occupant Of the White House think
of it?
