The following item from a Dublin
paper has the right ring to it: MANY
worthy people seem to think that all
we want is Celticized Ireland Their
attention is devoted too exclusively to
the linguistic, literary, or social as
poets Of the case. But what will h,
gained by knowing how to converse in
Celtic if by-and-by there are no Celts
to talk to, and what will it profit us
to master the three-hand reel if the
young people who should dance it are
off to foreign land? We want work
all round, and the more practical the
work is the better for Ireland" The
young 1rishmen who come to America
should first acquire u perfect command
of English. Celtic is all right in it's
way, and they should know it at
home, but in this country English is
far more useful to them than their ma
tive language.

In a speech at New York meeting
held in honor of Robert Emmett last
Sunday afternoon, Judge O'Neill Ryan,
OF st. Louis, Mo-, the orator of the day,
expressed himself in favor Of an Irish
Republic by an appeal to arms. If
a vote of the Irish people at home was
taken to ascertain their preference for
a Republic or Monarchy, we believe
they would prefer the government of
q King to that of President. The
Irish are an aristocratic people, fond
of Kings and chieftains, and would be-
ameng the last in Europe to establish
a Republic by force of arms. But
O'Neill Ryan does not seem to know
their sentiments.

The American minister to The
Hague is Stanford Newell, of st. Paul.
At recent banquet to Ambassador
Choate in London, he surprised the
Britishers and Anglonaniacs by say
ing that there was no sympathy OF
any other sentimental bond between
England and the United States. The
only bond was that of common inter-
est, and both countries were cordially
hated by the other nations of the
earth. Perhaps, that is owing to the
predatory policy of the Anglo-Saxon
nations in South Africa and the Phil
ippines.

What rhapsody! And yet he has
some foundation for making such fool
ish boasts. \ man of his moral char
acter and mental caliber who was so
. honored in the past by his fellow
citizens is somewhat justified in ut
. tering such rhodomontade. 1t is not
so irrationel as one would suppose. The
man who was elected four times as
Mayor of Minneapolis, despite his I'M
savory record in the community, might
be excused for indulging in language
of that kind. He was once nominated
| by the Democracy for governor Of the
state and came within thousand
votes Of being elected. Many are of
the opinion that he was really elected
but counted out by the dexterous Re-
publicans. When the Democrats saw
that he was a chronic aspirant for
office they grew tired of him and al
lowed him to drift into innocuous
desuetude. He insulted the best men
in the Democratic party and was de-
servedly boycotted as an unprincipled
politician. Then he proclaimed HIM
self as Republican and under the
II, new primary law became the candidate
of "the God and Morality party" for
Mayor. The prominent politicians of
the party hailed his nomination with
enthusiasm, promised him their sup
port and elected him by large
majority over two reputable citizens.
He did not finish his term of office
for reasons now known to the whole
world. He began his administration
by the summary discharge of honest

Doctor A. A. Ames will never again
be candidate for any Office in the
gift of the people until he is INDICATED
by jury of his peers, and even then
he will not be selected as the standard
bearer Of any party in this state. He
presumes too much when he says that
he would be elected by big majority
if he became candidate for mayor,
for governor or for United States SEN
ator. What he should do, and must
do before long, is to appear for trial
and clear himself, if he can, Of the
charges preferred against him by an
outraged community. When acquitted
by an impartial jury it will be time
enough for him to boast of his great
popularity. No party in the city or
state is now $50 poor as to do him

candidate in a political campaign.

st. Patrick's Day in Quet &c.

The Irishmen of Quebec, both Catho-
lie and Protestant, will join together
in honoring the memory of Ireland's
apostle next Tuesday. The Daily
Witness of that city says in regard to
it:

given ny the ST Patrick's Society OF
the evening Of the anniversary of Ir.-
lands patron saint, a considerable,
and representative number of mem
hers of the Irish Protestant Benevolent
Society will attend the festivity. This
they have decided to do in order to
show their fellowcountrymen of
different religious persuasion that they
are one with them in national pride,
that they sympathize with them o.,
broad grounds of racial aspiration,
and that in good will and benevolence
there is no difference between Irish
men and Irishmen. The event will be
Of more than ordinary significance,
really a love feast, ut which the warm
hearted sons of the Emerald Isle will
find occasion for the display Of their
hereditary magnanimity and the e1o-
uuence, wit and humor for which they
are famous. This kindly approach is
well-timed at moment when the
government of the United Kingdom,
the two great political sections of the
people in Ireland, and, as there is
reason to believe, the king himself,
| are moving towards a solution of
questions that have divided the pa.
