His virtues walked their narrow
round,
Nor made Il pause nor left Il void:
And sure the Eternal Master found
His single talent we'll employed.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1901-11-02

Complete neglect of church duty very
easily follows, and the breaking of any
one or several Of the commandments
becomes a very easy thing. Once a
Catholic becomes indifferent to, or
breaks away from, his faith, his COM
plete spiritual ruin becomes only Il
matter of time. Yet, perhaps, the
majority Of the mcat-eating Catholis
do not imagine they are running any
such danger. So absorbed in things of
the world are they that, losing sight of
the spiritual aspect Of the case, they
backslide with the hope of gaining the
most frivolous of material advantages.
Some want to get on in society, others
do not desire to put their hosts to a
Inconvenience; others,
again, will not deny their appetites,
and vet another finds it too great a
task to fry piece of fish for them
selves, while they grill Il steak for their
Protestant husbands. In every easement
eating on Fridays is the outcome
of moral cowardice, and in every case,
too, the object is unworthy of the sac
rifice, even if it were attained, which
is very rare. One can generally ex.
claim, at the sight of Catholic eat
ing meat on Friday: Here is a
shoneen," a creature upon whom no
one can rely, for he is betraying, for
the sake of his stomach or through
moral cowardice not only sacred law
of the church but a principle which
Catholics all over the world, in all
stages of life and under every circum-
stance. have honored throughout the
ages. DR.. johnson said a man who
would make pun would pick pocket,
and while many are disposed to regard
punning as an amiable weakness, it
is certainly true that all classes and
creeds in every country look with
suspicion ON the Catholic who puts his
appetite above a religious principle.
And the most despicable Of all Fri
day meat-eaters is the Irishman, or
the son or daughter of Irish parents.
For through the dark ages of persecu-
ton and privation to which no other
race was subjected, our fOrefathers
preferred death with honor to the
tempting dishes of the souper. How
contemplate, therefore, are their de-
generate sons who SO disgrace their
creed and nationality in land of lux
ury!

or even fclicitous rcply-that ever

an unprecedented outburst The
late Colonel Robert Ingersoll, who
had had Il great deal of experience in
public speaking. positively denied
that there ever was, or will be. an
impromptu speech. All speeches, he
said. are prepared at one time or all
other: and the man who gets up and
makes an Offlland speech that counts
for something. has got to be well
equipped for it. Understanding by

we believe Colonel Inger.oIl's opinion
is correct. says William Mathews in
the Saturday Evening Post.
When an impromptu speech, so
called is really such, it reminds one
of Peter ounces saying to Snug in

! "Fellow-countrymen this past year
has witnessed the spread of this Or
ganization all over Ireland. If only the
people choose, they can quite easily
make the government Of this country
practically impossible by the present
methods. 1t is a matter for themselves.
If they choose they can prevent all
permanent government of ireland by
the present methods of English govern
ment.
II can assure you that, in speaking
in parliament on behalf of the league,
and the movement, and the country,
none of us is guilty of the slightest
hypocrisy. For myself, have often
said in the House of Commons, in
!. more strong language even than have
used in Ireland, that we in Ireland,

ton in taking up arms to obtain our
freedom. have, during the past year
OF two, more than once seen state
ments to the effect that we, with our
population of 100000, ought to be
| ashamed when we witness the strug-
giles made on behalf of freedom by a
little handful of Dutch farmers. do
not take that view at all. If the Irish
people had had the same opportunities
that the Beers have had, If they had
been able through many long years to
drill and organize and arm their peo-
pie, then 1 feel sure that in the strug-
gle for national freedom they would
give as good an account of themselves
as the farmers of South Africa. They
have not had the opportunity. But
none of us has pretended, in speaking
to Englishmen in their own parlia-
ment, that if we had the opportunity
we do not believe we had the justi-
fication. We all believe that if we
had the power we would be justified
tomorrow in adopting any honorable
means to achieve our freedom.
eve believe we have the justifica-
ton, but we know we have not the
means. All that we can do is the best
with the weapons at our command.
We are endeavoring to do the best.
We are endeavoring, at considerable
labor, and ON the part of some, at any
rate, of considerable sacrifice, to work
out the freedom of Ireland with the
best means that we control. We say
to England that under the present
government-we say it frankly-we
are her enemies. But at the same time
we say to England that if she desires
to put an end to that enmity, all she
has to do is to deal with us as she
dealt with the rebels in Canada,
where on the concession of freedom
the arms dropped from their hands
and the enmity sunk out of their
hearts. And if England desires to
change Ireland from being the home
of Il race of enemies into land which
will be i'll good fellowship and friend
ship with her, as we'll as with the
other nations of the world, all she has
to do is to concede to us our freedom,
and until that day comes she may
reckon upon our hostility and our
enmity."

THE IRISH ACCENT.
Pronunciation Of English Words In
Past Times.

The Irish accent is the result of ar
rested development. Everybody knows
how Cromwell planted Munster with
English cOlOnists, how they thrOve
therein until, after the Restoration,
the bishops llarricd them as NOncOm-
fornlists, and the English government
closed all markets against them, and
now they faded out of the joyless
land which they made smiling and
fertile. The native Irish learn readily
when they must, and never forget.
The English garrison, Cromwclls
veterans. when they were established
and dominant. taught the Gacls Eng
liSh. Since that time the Irish have
learnt no new fashions in English
speaking. They pronounce it, to-day
as Cromwell and his troopers as
Milton, Dryden and even Pope pro-
nouncel it. Slight changes were
made. as must be when Il people
learns an alien tongue. Still we may
say on the whole that the brugue ut
which the English smile is the accent
which Ireland learnt from the Pur-
tan settlers. MIR. Flavn and his fell
lows abuse the House of Commons in
much the same tone as that which
Cromwell once used to Il more IA
nous parliament.
1t is no new suggestion that Irish
men talk better English than the
English. Dean Swift wrote to Pope
expressing his regret ut some slight
ing remark of the lattrr's concerning
the Irish: 'rhc English colonies, who
are three parts in four, are much
more civilized than many counties in
England, and speak better English.
and are much better bred" 1t will

EnglShnan, and would thank every
one to remember it. 1t will he pos

tions Of the survival of old words
and recommendations in Ireland. The
many-hended multitude who are
"agin the government" use the old
proposition which they learnt before
it was moderniZcd into against"
The word survives, of course, in
many rural districts of England,

this matter. Innovations make their

Tommy Crooks the. we'll known
sporting man in defending pugilism
says: 81 believe pugilism has been
one of the greatest factors of the age
in developing our men. l don't think
for a moment our leading business
men would act as they do If they but
knew how they could be helping to
get physical development without
which immoralityand degeneracy must
prevail. Exercise is much better than
a religious habit OF Notifying the
flesh and degrading the body or sys-
TEN. l do not say this because l
think it, but because l know it. Be-
sides in this way men are taught to
defend themselves with their own ma
tural weapons of defence. They will
then cease to defend themselves with
knives and pistols. Courage will take
che place of cowardice and fear"
This is all very we'll but Tommy
should distinctly seperate pugilism
and boxing from that degrading prac-
tice known as "prize tighLing.'
