DENouNc1NG THE QUEEN,

Under this caption the Minneapolis
Journal administers IL rebuke to some
Irisll-Americans of New York for char
actelizing the reign of Victoria us zone
long act of bloodshed, murder, cruelty
and can't" Our esteemed neighbor la
boris under the delusion that the reign
of the late queen brought many bless
ings to Ireland and that the inhabit-
ants thereof received more civil and
religious liberty during her reign than
during that of any OF her predecessors
OH the throne. The pro-British writer
Of the article refers to the disestablish-
ment of the Irish church and some
land acts passed by the Liberal party,
and says the disposition of the British
crown is to give Ireland just and liberal
laws. He emphasizes the fact that the
Irish representation i'll the British par
Lament is most liberal and that Irish
women are accorded suffrage. Per-
haps the writer is not aware that the
representation of Irish members at
Westminster is III accordance with the
act of union of 1900, and that if the
population Of Ireland during Victoria's
reign has been reduced one-half, that
is no reason why the representation
should be reduced, unless England VIC
lates her solemn obligation to Ireland
as she has done in other instances.
The Irish Standard does not agree
with the writer in the Journal that it
is IA very disgusting breach of COM
mon decency" for Irish Americans to
denounce the queens reign rs being
most injurious to Ireland. while the
queens. body is not yet inferred and
her family and the nation are in the
garb of mourning. Irish Americans
have been more respectful to the
queens memory than she has de
served at their hands, and what the.
say is not exaggerated in the slightes
legree.
Does the Journal man really believe

That patriotic Irisllman, Michael Da-

That patriotic Irisllman, Michael Da-
witt, who left the London parliament
in disgust, says in recent article that
the reunion of the Irish factions
means absolute freedom for Ireland.
Among other things the Irish eX-felon
says:
1T is necessary to point out, how
ever, that all Nationalist in Ireland
do not center their hopes for Ireland
future in the work of an Irish party
at Westminster. There is, in fact, a
growing dislike among an increasing
number of earnest Irishmen to the
home rule solution of the Irish quest
ion. To them it would mean n con-
senting partnership in the British
empire; a participation, through this
connection, in any criminal enterprise
which British jingoism, in obedience
to the spirit Of English greed and az
gression, should embark upon, us in
the instance of the infamous war
against Boer independence in South
Africa. There is, l am happy
to say, stronger and more widespread
feeling, not alone of moral, but of Ma
tional, revolt, growing among our
people against all political relationship
with England than existed previous to
the outbreak of this. The loss of
British military prestige in the con-
fiict with the Boer farmers probably
accounts for this healthy growth of the
old faith in the complete independence
of a self-governed Ireland. 1t is a
sentiment, also, which looks to an Ire
land with language, literature and
civilization Of it's own; to, in fact, a
nation in every sense of the proud
meaning of the word instead of to a
privileged provincial partners position
in that now almost universally DIS
trusted and detested combination, the
British imperial system"
Why should Ireland be taxed by an
alien parliament to carry on war of
conquest and spoliation? Why should
it be asked to fight England's battles
against any country OH earth? Why
bear additional burdens for the extern
sion of the British empire when no
benefit accrues to it? The Irish ap-
pear to be in Il lcthargy. Why not
awaken and kick vigorously for their
rights? They must be either more or
less than human to rest supinely and
hug their chains ut the beginning of
the twentieth century when England
is beaten to her knees by handful of
Dutch farmers

he was to speak on the Philippine

That his argument in favor of liberty

that the reign Of Victoria brought any
blessings to Ireland? In 1887. the late
John Boyle O'Reilly said:
According to the eminent statisti-
clan, Mulhall, quoted by Mr.. Gladstone
recently i'll the House of Commons.
the following figures attest the bless
ings enjoyed by Ireland during the past
glorious fifty years:
Died of famine. 1,225, 900 persons.
Evicted. ,56S, 900 persons
EXlled. =. .....4 i, $4,000 persons.
Total. i. .S,97S.OOO persons

according to the same statistician,

Let us do her gracious majesty the
justice to say that the last item will
strike her soul with genuine regret
For the rest, Irishmen should be as
thankful for the reign of Victoria as
they might be for the plaques of
Egypt"
During the queens diamond jubilee
in 1897, the same statistician quoted
by Mr.. O'Reilly ten years previously
Informed the world in his interesting
book entitled National Progress in the
Queens Reign" that when the census
of 1911 was taken after Victoria as
cended the throne, England had 49,
100000, Ireland 100000 and Scotland
100000 in round numbers; but in
1896 England had 3O,73O,OOO, Ireland
4,550,O0O and Scotland 100000 Com
menting on these figures Mulhall said
that Ireland had lost almost half her
inhabitants, and that every useful oc-
cupation in that country, excepting the
raising of cattle, exhibits a decline and
there seemed little likelihood of the
downward march being arrested. The
census for 1900 will show Ireland be-
hind Scotland in population, though it
was four times that of Scotland three
years after Victoria was crowned.
In view of these facts, which the
Journal writer cannot contradict, what

doled out to Ireland by way Of rene

years that Victoria saw Ireland decline
in everything that Il nation should
