British Fair Play.

Mr.. William Redmond member of the
British Parliament who spoke so eloquently
at the public mass meeting in this city, at
the Lafayette Theater few weeks ago, at

dressing the House of Commons on the pro-
position to grant fifty thousand pounds to
Lord Kitchener for surreudering to the
Beers His English, Scotch and Welsh col
leagues as we'll as the few Orange members
of the House did not relish the trend Of his
remarks ard they set up such a howl Of
blackguardism that Mr.. Redmond was COM
PEELED to appeal to William Court Gully,
the prize fighters son, who occupies the
chair or speakers desk of the Commons.
Mr. Gully informed the honorable member
for Clare that he had lost control of the
House and could not suppress the disorder.
For fifteen minutes Mr.. Redmond en-
deavored to speak and the representatives
of a nation which boasts of English fair
play refused to hear him and howled
themselves hoarse. Mr.. Redmond was
clearly within his rights, as the speaker had
ruled his remarks were parliamentary and
not 'disorderly." Nevertheless he the
speaker could not secure him hearing as
he had lost control of the House When
Mr. Redmond sat down the speaker was

sincerity, in fact that it was Theodore
Roosevelt and not the politician figuring

As between these two risal chiefs Of the
Republican party there can be but one
choice for him who admires courage, prae-
tices honesty, respects manhood and lives
in the seelusion of private, as in the glare
of public life, with the unimpaired SELF
respect of an American gentleman; keeping
at arms length the parasite, the heele- and
the slum aristocracy of thieves, black

O'BRIEN'S CLAIM
That Explosive Bullets Are Used on
the FilipinOs.

Editor Sunday Globe:
We hear great deal of abuse thrown at
one O'Brien Of late because of his state
ments that inhumane bullets were used
against the insurgents and in regard to the
matter would make statement as follows:
OBrien states that the bullets fred from
the Krag caused terrible wounds and lacera-
ton; undue laceration. O'Brien stated that
the bullets were of the dumdum variety and
seemed perfectly willing to send home for
samples. These samples were examined
by experts so-calied and pronounced to be
of the regular pattern and not of the dunn
dunn, or partly mantled, 1, e., half patched
style. Then O'Brien is called plain liar
and other things. But hold on a little. Did
any of the experts examine the thickness
and texture Of the envelope or outer cover
ing of the bullets, which are supposed to
be either mild steel or copper Did any of
them test the thickness of these bullets
with file or even a pocket knifel We're
any Of these bullets fred direct from the
Krag rifle into white pine in order to de-
termine if they gave the standard pene-
tration without mushrooming or deforminge
II is a very easy matter to have the en-
velope or outer covering of these bullets Of
[ a
inch twist, and yet hatten or mushroom ter
ribly upon striking hesh or bone. Personally
we know of instances where the penetration
of the Krag aud Government ammunition
Stated 20 be Government brandt were
tested against tho Savage rife using u. NJ.
c. ammunition BY firing against mild steel
plates at thirty feet from the muzzle of the
guns. Both rifles used the regulation or
fulm patched bullets, yet the Savage easily
penetrated the steel plate, while the Krag
did not, despite the fact that the latter
(Krag) was supposed to have a penetration
Of full (so) fifty inches Of seasoned pine
against the Savage bare guarantee Of C4o)
forty. The Krag's cartridge carried more
powder (smokeless VARIETY than the
Savage, and also heavier bullet, yet its
bullets seemed to splash out into nothing
against the steel plate Both styles Of bull
lets were full-coated or iacketed with what
appeared to be mild steel, and after firing
the conclusion was reached that the Krag
bullet was enveloped in a thinner casing.
There are some facts that perhaps il may
be we'll to look into before jumping at con-
demnation. O'Brien stated that the bullets
used we're of the dumdum variety, and from
experience he may have been justified in
making his assertions. EXPERIENCE.

A Gentle Orange Roar.

A comp mparatively mild hammered species
of Orangeman sang one Of their old fami-
liar tunes in the peoples column of last
Mondays Post
The silly senseless nature of their state
ments and the numerical and mental aud
moral insignihcance of their party renders
them scarcely worthy Of a passing notice.
When an Irish municipality cannot dig a
ditch, or add a few acres to the town limits.
without humbly petitioning English, Scotch
and Welsh members Of Parliament at Lon
don, it Is very evident that Home Rule is a
perfectly just and reasonable demand, not.
withstanding the desire Of the Orange con-
tingent TO remain oringing British slaves.
The fact is that they all ought to be re.
moved to Dalkey Island, where they might
cringe and wallow and bask in British
slavery to the full extent that their abject
loyal souls demand, and let the real ireland
have that measure Of local control over its
domestic affairs that people Of free and
noble aspirations must have.

Home Rulers when they got the upper

strongholds which would elect Lord Beres-

of his hopeful son collars and Cuffs"
No, Donatus. nobody furnished us the i'm

misistered to you in the GLOBE Its editor

every type of Irishman from Beresford to
the humble aunkey who crawls for his

Stafford's constitutional agitation for Irish
grievances as not being sanguinarY enough
to suit your rebel views and yet you call on
the aristocrat who is ready at the drop of a
hat to imbrue, like his fathers before him,
his murderous hands in the blood of the de-
tenders of Irish homes and hearths. You
who can mouth so readily hackneyed verses
expressing sentiments to which your
friend (?) Beresford is a stranger can surely
recall few lines from "O'Neill's Defiance. 3"

The Treaty Of Limerick and the Beers
Treaty.

After a siege by King William Of Orange
the city Of Limerick, the last stronghold
holding out for King James beat back the
assaulting columns under William himself
and his leading generals.
The women fought before the men,
Each man became a match for ten,
And back they beat the villains then"
And so William raised the siege, so far as
he was personally concerned, and hied him
back to England, leaving the reduction of
the city to his favorite general.
The women Of Limerick, however, had
given the British grenadiers such taste of
their prowess that notwithstanding the city
was preached in many places the English
refused the assault and sat down for a long
siege.
Sarsheld-the favorite general Of the
Irish-had previously made sally and de-
stroyed Williams besieging cannon or big
guns and the English were unable to make
headwaY until more guns arrived.
All the valor Of England was ultimately
concentrated outside the walls of Limerick
and assault after assault was delivered and
failed. The indomitable spirit of the Irish
defenders was intensified by the reckless
courage of their women who heroically fell
in the front ranks and even pursued in their
ardor the beaten besiegers beyond the walls.
Finally despairing of conquering so brave
foe and animated by fear that the French
assistance daily expected by the Irish would
arrive the English asked for a conference.
After much consideration a treaty was
agreed upon and signed by the representa-
tives Of William and James. On the very
day the treaty was signed the long expected
French aid arrived at the mouth Of the
Shannon!
The Earl OF Lucan (Sarsfeld) was solicit
ed by some Of his longer headed friends tC
break the compact and compel the besieger'
TO surrender, which with the French assist
ance he could have easily accomplished
He refused, having plighted his word as Z
soldier. This was a fatal moment in th'
destiny of Ireland and fate decided agains
her through the mistaken chivalry Of hei
/ favorite and gallant son. The treaty pro
vided, among other things, that 'the CITY o.

Donatus O'Brien, the department clerk,
sends Us sereed, published elsewhere in
this issue. Every decent plebeian Irishman,
who reads it, will feel his stomach rise in
disgust at the self-admitted sycophancy Of
this man to the typical representative Of the
Cromwellian murderers and oppressors Of
the Irish people. His attempt to show that
there was equality Of friendship or equality
Of intercourse between himself and Lord
Beresford is disgusting as is the alleged re-
marks of the late President and Lord Beres-
ford's quotation Of them. Donatus may
impose on Americans in this matter but he
cannot hoodwink the most unsophisticated
Irishman that an Irish lord regards with
even ordinary respect a plebeian country
man. These Cromwellian descended British
aristocrats and loyalists are no more Irish in
sentiment than the cattle grazing in the
beautiful valleys Of Ireland from which the
rigbtful owners have been expelled. Lord

pie Of Ireland harming them, as they are
not considered of sufficient importance to
be worthy Of notice No Irishman would
take the trouble to disturb them.
He says they constitute one-third Of the
people of Ireland, and that they are superior
beings, descended from English, Scotch, and
French carpet-baggers. The fact that they
have descended from something is evident
enough. for the figure they cut shows
plainly that they haven't assembled.
Encouraged and eoddled as they are, by
the English government, they elect only
one-6fth Of the members of Parliament in
Ireland. This does not argue well for their
superiority.
The fact is that they are so few and in.
significant in every way, that Ireland may
be considered as practically unanimous for
home rule. Their influence is not even
proportionate to their numbers, which
argues that from whatever countries they
originally came, they must have been the
offscourings and not wanted at home.
Their noisy aud senseless yelping wherever
they are, goes far towards commencing the
good sense of the countries that succeeded
in getting rid of them.
Their hero, par excellence, is Major
Saunderson, though we have no record of
his ever having majored anything except
an Orange parade on the I2th of July "of
blessed memory" He never fought any of
Eugland's battles in the field, though
thousands of genuine Irishmen have been
fools enough to do so.
Who ever heard of any Orange regiments
fighting bravely for the cause they advocate
so loudly in times of peace9 The truth is
that they are a mere predatory band of
noisy poltroons and are Of no effect either
one way or the other.
The fighting Irish regiments and brigades
that have won military lustre for the race
on every field of war all over the world,
have been and are the genuine Irish, and
not this small mob of caterwauling exotics.
They have never produced any famous
soldiers, orators, statesmen, or poets. Any
man with brains enough to become noted
in any field of human effort would imme-
diately disassociate himself with such a
bigoted and narrow-minded clique, even if
he had had the bad luck to be reared in
their midst.
If they have anything better than Major
Saunderson, it is to be presumed that they
would produce it as an illustration of their
self-asserted superiority.
