Plrauon OF Ir1shmen was no tgnoble
dream of gain or vengeance. Ireland
was making rapid advance towards
the realization of the ideal Of Thomas
Davis. The political movement was
never fuller of hopeoand triumph than
at the present moment, and in justice
10 themselves they must recognize that
the success thus achieved was directly
que to the unity, courage, self-sacri-
nee and organization Of their people.
They could not forget this in the
presence of those Irish members Of
parliament who since last st. Pat
rlck's day banquet had suffered in Eng
llsh prisons They might also congrat-
ulate themselves on the beginning Of a
great educational and Industrial re-
YivaI In Ireland. which would enable it
TO compete with the foreigner, and, last
ana not least, there was a revival of
the cause of temperance. That was q
record to gladden. the hearts of Irish
men wherever they might be assem-
bled on st. Patrick's day. Never had
the scattered children of Ireland more
solid reason for absolute faith In the
delivery of their race.
