Brighter Days for ireland.

There are brighter days at hand for

rived and all wrongs will not at once

bers of Parliament feel that their
cause, so long losing one, is now
about to win great victory. and they
and the English conservatives have re-
Gently been induiging in love feasts
that were little dreamed of, few years
ago. The proposition to buy out the
Irish landlords and parcel their es-
tates among the tenants seems certain
of success and it means a long step
toward righting great wrong and re-
storing peace and prosperity to turbu-
lent and impoverished Ireland. 1t does
the Irish problem, for there is yet
home rule to be granted before Ireland
will have it's just due. 1t does not
mean that all the old wounds will be
healed. for however generous and just
England becomes there will long be bit
ter memories of strife and oppression
in the hearts of the Irish people.
For centuries Ireland has been the
scene Of suffering and struggles. The
intolerable home conditions have re-
suited in a steady stream of emigra-
ton. taking the best blood of the

| island to other lands and mainly to the
| United States. What the Irishman
can do when he has fair show is well
| illustrated by his success in this coun-
try. Here he is found pushing to the
front in all walks of life, making a
good and loyal citizen, being particu-
larly active In politics, and never for
getting to keep bright the fires of his
hatred for England. He has his faults,
like men of all races, ard one of the
chief of them is the resentment he
often shows when reminded that he is
an Irishman-aE unreasonable feeling,
for the Irish race has much to be proud
of and little to be asharaed of. But
there has been no progress or happiness
for the unhappy millions who have re-
manned in Ireland. England's treat
ment of them has been harsh and OPP
pressive. and the island has been in a
state of perpetual unrest. The fault
has not been all on one side, to be sure,
but whatever Ireland has done or failed
to do has been no sufficient excuse for
the oppression of England. The curse
of landlordism has been one of the
worse things to bear, and now that
this seems certain TO be removed the
friends of Ireland may well be filled
with joy. 1t is probably true that Eng
land is not wholly unselfish in this
matter, but. whatever the motive, the
result is accuse for rejoicing and
gives promise for better days for the

There is much interest being mani
tested now among the people of Port
land as to the plans for the attack of
the navy upon the Notifications of
Portland in the coming season. The
operations are expected to occur about
the middle of August and will be after
the style of the attack last year on the
forts at the entrance to Long Island
sound. 1t will be the navy. against the
army and while the rules of the con-
test have not been made public and
and not understood by the officers here.
IT is generally understood that they will
be about the same as applied last
summer in the attack on the forts at
the entrance to Long Island sound The
conditions will be as near those of ac-
