his epitaph is written, Emmet will be

Corrigan read the following resolu-
tions which were unanimously adopt
ed:

the land question promised by the
British government will be attempted
only because England fears. in her
coming troubles. the hostility of the
race in and out of Ireland, and hopes
to secure peace and loyalty by buying
Il class at the expense of the entire
people. We further assert that moth
ing of this kind can or viii, prevent
the race from keeping up the fight for
the establishment Of an Irish republic

denationalize the Irish people. and has
led people to believe that Ireland was
content to remain Il part of the British
empire. whereas her people would he
satisfied with nothing less than an
Irish republic.
''There is evidence of Il revival of
the militant spirit i'll Ireland. and this
spirit has been aroused in the Irish
race in America to Il greater extent
than ever. The Irish race in America.
too, is aroused to the necessity of
combining with true Americans and
citizens of other origins to frustratc
the attempts of England to commit
the United States to policies calculat-
ed to serve purely British purposes and
to cmbroll this republic With nations
which were friendly when Amcric:,

dience to such an extent that they
were repeatedly encored. The only
number on the program that was not
rendered was the recitation which was
to have been delivered by Mr.. ]. 1.
Farley of st. Paul. That gentleman
was unable to be present, owing to
illness which confined him to his home
last Wednesday evening.
The Rev. ]. Harrington, pastor of
Ascension church, was the next speak
er. He captivated the audience ut the
outset and aroused great enthusiasm
by his patriotic utterances. He felt
what he said and his earnestness made
deep impression on the susceptible
sons and daughters of Erin when he
referred to the atrocities committed
by alien rulers i'll the fatherland. A
recital of these barbarities would
make the hair stand erect on their
heads, but he forcbore to enumerate
them. The man whose memory they
had met to celebrate did his best to
put an end to the reign of terror and
injustice that prevailed in his day,
and it spoke volumes for the liberal
ity of Irish Catholics that Oh this day
they assembled throughout the earth
to honor the memory of Protestant
patriot, for Emmett did not belong to
their faith; nor did Wolfe Tone, Lord
Edward Fitzgerald and other men who
sacrificed their lives for Ireland. So
much have the Irish Catholics appre-
ciated the services of their Protestant
fellow countlymcn in the cause of
nationality and freedom that they
have frequently selected them for
leaders and We're ready to follow them
to the death.
The next speaker was Father
Danely who began by reciting in
elocutionary style that grand poem of
John Locke. entitled '"The Dawn OH
the Coast of Ireland.' An lrishman
who had spent thirty years i'll Texas
was returning to his native land, and
when within sight of the shore. burst
out into a lapturous apoStrophe to the
dear land of his birth. The dramatic
delivery of Father Danehy created
great enthusiasm. the stage. floor and
gallery joining in rapturouS applause.
He declared that he felt unequal to the
occasion that had brought them to-
gether to commemorate the name of
tlle martyred Emmett. In this holy
season he would not let his ANGRY
passions rise by recounting the sor-
rows and sufferings inflicted on !,
grand old race whom fire and sword
could not efface.' The Irish people
were peculiarly remarkable for their
intense love Of country. He had wit
messed the departure Of emignnts
from Irish ports, and neither in France
nor i'll Germany had he observed such
manifestations of sadness OH the part
of the eXileS. When out ut sea and as
the land was recedng from view, the
emigant from holy Ireland had his
cheeks suffused with tears as he
caught the last glimpse of the Irish
hills away III the distance.

The last speaker was the Hon.
Daniel w. Lawler, of st. Paul, who
began by saying that some persons
thought Emmett was Il young enthus-
last and that his scheme of rescuing
Ireland from foreign oppression was
visionary and impra cticable. Military
experts however. had concurred in
the belief that if Emmet's strategy
was carried out. Dublin Castle would
have fallen and his revolution would
have been success. Emmett lived in
an era of great men and great events.
His days were crucial days in the
history of the world. Hardly was he
born when the thirteen American col
Onies arose and asserted their indie
pendence. Grattan marshalled his
10000 volunteers and won parla
mentary independence from a reluct-
ant government. In his day the little
Corsican had won victories on the
fields of Italy and hurled back from
France hosts of foreign aggressors.
Such events as these were transpiring
during the brief life of Robert Emmett,
and the plan for Ireland's freedom
devised by him, if carried out, may
have resulted as successfully as that
for which Washington had drawn the
sword. Emmett struggled vainly but
patriotically, and though he did not
succeed in his undertaking. his spirit
and genius eXerted an influence on
those who survived him. His spirit
and genius were with the men of AS
McGee, Mitchell, Meagher, Duffy and
O'Brien. He inspired the men of CT
O'Leary, Stephens, Kicllham and the
other founders of the Fenian organiza-
ton. 1t was the spirit of Emmett that
animated the Manchester Martyrs
Allen, Iarkin and O'Brien-to ascend
the scaffold and yield up their lives
with God Save Ireland" OH their
lips. And the spirit of Emmett is still
abroad to animate and vivify the spirit
of others who want to see Ireland a
nation, free and grand. And, mayhap.
tile spirit of Emmett inspired the brain
and heart of the great O'ConncIl "the
uncrOwned king of Ireland" to de-
vote his life to the service of his
country. Tradition says that O'Con-
ntll heard the sentence pronounced on
Emmett and witnessed his barbarOus
execution in Thomas street, Dublin.
This sacrifice Of Emmett stimulated
O'Connell in his labors for Catholic
Emancipation and the Repeal of the
UniOn-it nerved him to fight the
duel with the Orange bully of the
Dublin corpOr.ltion-it nervcd him in
the dock when prosecuted by the gov
ernment-it stood by him in the Brit
fsh parliament when pleading in elo-
quent tones for the rights Of Ireland
in constitutional way,

and exceed by $4,000 the officers and
men of the army of the United
States, as now reduced to the mini

Not far from one person in every
thousand keeps post Office of this
grade. Fourth-class postmasters,
says the Youths Companion, receive
for compensation the receipts from
box rents, and n commission on their
cancellations and incidentals, such as
the sale of waste-paper. Those who
cancel stamps amounting to less than
$50 quarter get the entire sum;
above that amount they receive only
a part. They are appointed directly
by the postmaster general. The
hlgher-grade postmssters are named
by the president and confirmed by
the senate. Gross receipts of $1,000
bring a post office into the third
class, the lowest grade of presiden-
tial Offices; of $4,000 into the second,
and of $4,000 into the frst-class.
Salaries in all classes depend on the
amount of business, but the highest
salary is $4,000. At present the num-
Der of fuurth-class post Offices is de
creasing, as result of certain it,

service. The extension of rural free
delivery, with its postal stations, has
occasioncd the discontinuance Of
nearly 1000 such Offices during the

the city delivery service is driving
