IRELANp's BRIGHTER DAYS.

Brighter days indeed to be dawning on the hori
zen Ireland This hope has been aroused many times
in the gloomy past in the minds of those identified with
the long struggle nation for liberty and free
DOM but never outlook for Improvement been so
promising as now says the Boston Globe.
The Irish land bill according to Mr. John E. Redmond,
is an accomplished fact An idea Of what this measure
will mean for Ireland may CLEANED from the further
declaration by Redmond that IF it works it is
confidently hoped will there is question that it will
effect a'revoluton in the condition of Ireland"
Under the present condition of affairs, therefore it is
indulge the hope that far better times are
ia store for the Irish people
The struggle which been going for centuries to
make Briton of Celt has changed the Irish
character AS Justin Mccarthy observes, The genuine
Hishman remains heart Irishman STILL wherever
he may wander In his recent book Mr. Mccarthy Illus
traes this trait Irish character by relating that not
very long ago. there great Spanish prime minister
whose family old descent had been famous in Ireland
and although many generations had passed since their
settlement SPAIN and he himself had set foot
on soil he still retained much of the ancestral
prejudice against which had forced his people
into exile that he stubbornly refused for dipo
matte reasons TO learn the English language.
The tenacty purpose the Irish people has been
well illustrated in all the revolutions disasters and gen
distress which has overtaken them since
cordng legends people from eastern cline first Wis
itel the little island and when the country subse-
quently ruled by the Mesian kings. All impartial his
toans concede that people essentially imagn
ative and endowed with qualities not to the
ordinary ways of peoples grown up civilization: As
consequence their intelligence and valor the world
has yaany standing up for their rights in
spite all oppression when member of
the predominatfng religion could not be Judge mem

The regns of the British kings queens for cen
turtles the misery of the Celtic population, but
since the great emigration foreign countries and
especially to United States which large pro-
portions about fifty years and has steadily pro-
crossed the world has become converted to the opinion
that the Irish people asking for their just dues and
being tyranncally treated.
Now all eyes are upon King Edward, who has shown
diplomacy and than any of his predecessors in
dealing with the Irish problem. He alone to have
appreciated characteristic enaciy of purpose
race. When he prince and was asked what should
be done in the Venezuelan crisis he replied: Simply
common sense" AS king he ended the Boer by
using common sense And he has the prescrip-
tiQn for Irish troubles. When leaving Ireland recently
he spoke of the Irish people ad-
mitted they "a nation. Furthermore he said he
should eagerly await the fulhment of the general hope
that a brighter day dawning upon Ireland.
King Edward has shown that he is in full sympathy
with the noble efforts made in parliament pass just
land bill which indeed. many believe he initiated and
his actions belief he desires his reign to
he marked by the just that ireland so sadly
needs.
