was committed to penal servitude for
life. OF this sentence he served sew
eral years i'll England's worst penal
institution and was finally released,
along with the other so-called Fenian
prisoners, on condition of leaving the
country.
The released men came at once to
the United States, and the reception
accorded them here b" all classes of
the community, showed that they
were regarded, not as criminals, but
as patriotic men, suffering for the
principles in which they belicved-the
same principles for which the patriots
of the American Revolution had
fought and conquered. The general
verdict of public opnion,-confirmed
as it has now been by the direct tes-
timony of James Cahill one of the i'm
II ediate actors in the affair,-shows
that none of the men arraigned for
the death of Sergeant Brett had had
anything to do with the firing of the
shot by which he was unintentionally
killed; so that the three who were ex-
ecuted We're really what the Irish peo-
pie have ever since styled and re-
garded them,-martyrs in the cause of
their native land, murdered by Eng
land for their fidelity to their country
even as England, in the past, muir
dered Owen Roe O'Neill, Lord Edward
Fitzgerald, Theobald Wolfe Tone,
Robert Emmett, and hundreds of thous-
ands of Irish patriots, whose blood yet
cries to heaven for vengeance, with
that of millions of others, done to
death by the slower, but equally effec-
tive English methods of famine, pesti-
lence and the cotfin-ships of the ex-
terminators.
These men, however, did not die in
vain; no true martyr ever did. The
cause for which they suffered,-in-
stead of being set back, as was in
tended, by their fate,-has gone on
advancing by leaps and bounds, until
now it occupies a firmer and more
commanding position than it has ever
held before,-a position from which no
hostile effort can dislodge it, until it's
final triumph is effected in the eman-
cipation Of the land for which so
many heroic sacrifices have been made.

In speaking on reciprocity with Can
ada, Mr.. Rosing paid his respects to
the Minnesota congressman who We're
frittering away their time in protect
ing beet sugar Great is the beet
and the Minnesota delegation is its
prophet" exclaimed Mr.. Rosing, amid
loud laughter. He then turned his at
tention to the merger and said Gov.
Van SAINT did his duty in calling on
the encouragement to enforce the law
against the consolidation of the two
big roads, but why did he not ask him
to investigate the alleged consolidation
of the stock Of the Duluth 4 Iron
Range and the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern Railway companies as re-
quested in resolution by the state
senate of Minnesota during the extra
session Of 1902? These roads are
wholly within the state, while the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
are not, and they We're merged by the
United States steel trust nine months
before the Northern Security company
was organized
In the course of his speech Mr.. Ros,
ing referred adversely to the railroad
commission and devoted several
minutes to the consideration of the
taxation Of franchises. He also spoke
of municipal ownership of public SER
vice corporations as favored in the
Democratic platform, of shorter hours
for labor, and other matters of public
interest. In closing he paid grand
tribute to Ex-Governor Lind, who &C.
cupied seat beside him, and con-
cluded by saying: '"Nha party has
honored me with it's nomination for
the highest office in the gift Of the
people of the state, and 1 accepted
with the determination to wage win

situations and our state. In Mime
sofa my life has been spent, and 1
promise you that if elected, will, I'M
der the guidance of God, be true to
the interests of the state and it's PEG
pie"
On the whole, the speech Of Mr..
Rosing was one of the best ever heard
i'm Minneapolis from any candidate
for the governorship. There is moth
ing radical in his uttcrances; on the
contrary, they are very conservative.
He spoke of his opponent in friendly
way, and though aggressive &C times
his speech was entirely free from
personalities. He made a good i'm
preston on his audience and was
warmly applaud@l at the close.

Lord Rosebery said in a recent
speech that the disasters which had
befallen the Liberal party since 1885
were not so much caused by trans
fer of votes from one side to the other
as by large and continuous and
growing abstention of it's members
from the polls" In order that a par

Great Britain and elsewhere it is
necessary that the members thereof
be united and turn out to vote on

Despite the occasional reports to the
contrary, the sons Of Erin in their
native isle are not addicted to intem-
perance. A Minneapolis priest who
lately returned from Europe says that
thousands of young Irishmen belong
to temperance organizations and that
traveller rarely sees any one under
the influence Of liquor. The Irish in
America, as a whole, are abstemious in
the use Of intoXicants and thousands
of them are enrolled in total abstinence
societies. The same may be. said of
Irishmen in other lands. In Il recent
address in Ireland, Cardinal Moran
said that on the 18th of March, when
10000 Irishmen marched in Sydney,
New South Wales, only one drunken
man was visible, and he was not an
Irishman. If the Irish at home and
abroad keep sober, their native land
will soon be free.

ter brought up the children in her own
faith, and on the day of the tragedy
one of them was at the convent school
and another at a parochial school. A
third child was at home and saw the
double murder of her parents. What
an awful sequel to a mixed marriage!
And yet many Catholic girls seem to
have Il mania for marrying Protes-
tants when they could get husbands
in their own church.

Archbishop Kelly, Coadjutor of
Sydney, N. S. W., in speech deliv-
cred recently in relation to Ireland,
declared that Sir Andrew Reed, the
late inspector general Of the Royal
Irish Constabulary, once said that he
never took part in any eviction in
which right was not on the side OF
the tenant Sir Andrew, in the
Westminster Gazette, contradicted
this statement. His Grace, speaking
since then at Sydney, stated most
emphatically that Sir Andrew Reed
made the statement attributed to him.
Every one will believe the Archbishop
rather than the late Inspector Gener-
al of the Irish COnstabulary. Even
if Sir Andrew didn't make the state
ment, he could have made it with
truth. Right is always on the side
of the evicted tenant.

1t is reported that Justice Shiras is
soon to resign from the supreme bench
and resume the practice of law. We
trust that the eminent judge will not
act towards his clients as he did to-
wards the income tax. A lawyer can
not be on both sides of case at one
and the same time.-The Commoner.
We have seen it stated in the ''p-pa-

Justice Gray who changed his vote on
the income tax. Perhaps Justice
Shiras is a victim Of misremesenta-

DR.. Clancy, the bishop of Elphin, is
on the side of the Tory government
and of Lord De Freyne against the
Irish tenants. In recent sermon he
violently attacked Michael Davitt and
his colleagues of the United Irish
League. Davitt replied to him in
crushing style and said: MAY 1 ask
is it the conscientious duty of bish-
op to libel me off the altar. Is it the
duty of bishop to libel men who are
in prison, and unable to defend them
selves, before an applauding audience
of landlords, Orangemen and English
Tories? Evidently DR.. Clancy believes
it is. 1 do not. He has no such right
or privilege as a bishop. He has as
politician, as pro-landlord, as an
English loyalist in the sense in which
politicians attack each other. But in
this character he must expect blow
for blow. He cannot be allowed to
take shelter, as a politician, behind

turn a place of divine worship into
an annex of landlords rent office
without protest. He has no authority
from the Church to bring his mitre
down to the level of an estate agents

their landlord. There are Catholics
just as good as he is who will remind
him that the respect which he himself
does not show to the episcopal Office
which he holds, in so acting, cannot
be won from those whose enemies he
seeks to shield behind the authority
of his name and sacred Calling" Good
for Davitt! 1t is time to rebuke such
political prelates as DR.. Clancy. Such
men should be boycotted by the Irish
people and compelled to live in Eng

L. A. RosING in MINNEAPOLIS.

l.. "A. ROSING IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Friday evening, Aug. 90, during
big thunder storm, Leonard a. Ros-
ing, the Democratic nominee for GOV
crlor, sounded the keynote of tile
campaign in speech at Normanna
hall, Minneapolis, before an cntllusi-
astic assembly of his supporters. He
was introduced by that sterling Dem
ocls,t Il. G. Winston, who said that it
was an suspicious omen of victory that
Democrats who honestly differed on
the financial question in previous
years are united again in Il solid plla-
lanX against the dominant party in
Minnesota. He said Democratic vic
tory was i'm the air and that the cam
paign just opening would he con-
tested Oh lines that could be approved
by every voter who believes in an hon
people and for the people, as against
the expressions of organized capital
and the trusts.
The speech Of Mr.. Rosing was lis
tened to with rapt attention and dur
ing it's delivery he was frequently in
telrupted by applause 1t was Il clear,
concise and conservative address in
which every question OF interest to
the citizens of the state was touched
on in calm but aggr ssive style.
But questions of national import re-
ceived due attention, and the first of
them he discussed was that of i'm
perialism. '"Nhe Democratic people Of
this country" exclaimed Mr.. Rosing,
"they who are thoroughly saturated
with love for the Declaration Of In
dependence and our institutions, be-
licve that people everywhere are enti-
tied to the same rights and privileges
that we enjoy, and therefore we hold
that our governmental policy in regard
to the Philippines should be the same
gard to Cuba. Let us be true to our,
selves and just to the people Of the
Philippines"
Mr.. Rosing turned his attention to
the trusts and elected the plnudits Of
the audience when lie quoted the j. T.
fersonian dictum of equal rights for
all and special privileges to nome" He
declared that the trust of today is II
law-made creature and that the power
which creates Il grasping corporation
cam fix limitations upon it for the
safety of the people from it's ravages,
10 protect the people from it's aggres-
sions he would take away from it the
special privilege it enjoys in the form
of a tariff.
Democracy believes" said Mr.. Ros.
ing, ''that the first remedy should be
the removal Of all duties upon articles
handled by combinations in restraint
of trade" no this the audience ent
plmsized it's approval in no unmistaN
able manner He said protective du
ties are forms of trust subsidies, the
only difference being THAT whereas
subsidies are paid out of the nationa
treasury, tariffs are taken out of the
pockets of the individual citizens. Ii
this connection he declared that tho
two Minnesota senators voted for the
ship subsidy bill, while the senators
from Wisconsin and Iowa did not dare
to do so, and he suggested that tho
people Of Minnesota call upon Nelson
and Clapp for an explanation of theil
] vote.
