ROAST FOR SIR THOMAS.
For His Removal Of the Irish Flag at
Manhattan Dining HALL

For His Removal OF the Irish Flag at
Manhattan Dining Hall.
| Sir Thomas Upton was invited to a
banquet and found on the table the
American and Irish flags. as decora-
tons. He had the Irish flag taken
away and replaced by the British
| Union, Jack-according to the news
paper reports because there was no
| golden crown above the Irish harp on
the Irish flag. III.
This will be rather sad news to the
millions Of Americans who have been
admiring and praising Sir Thomas as
plucky Trishman.
The golden crown above the Irish
harp indicates Ireland's conquest and
control by the English. We do not be-
lieve that the sight of that crown on
the Irish flag gives any special pleas
ure to any genuine Irishman.
| The Irish have made a long and
p1ucky fight; and in the new land bill
they have succeeded in getting out Of
the English and out of the landlords
concessions that may well make the
| English peasant jealous.
| But while many an Intelligent Irish
man may believe that in the present
age small independent state has ceas-
I'd to be a possibility. the patriotic
Irishman certainly regrets the fact
that English brains made the fish
laws. He certainly would not feel in
suited by an Irish flag minus the Brit
ish crown.
If there is anything in luck-which
there ls not--we should be inclined 10
suggest that the Shamrock's hard lines
may be due to the fact that the owner
is not as good an 1rishnnan as he ought
to be
We venture to say that Sir Thomas
Lipton's father and mother--both Irish
would have seen nothing disagree
able in the Irish flag minus the Eng
lish crown. And we feel sure that Sir
Thomas Upton himself-before he
knew the king, who made him a baron
et-would have been satisfied with
plain Irish flag.
Sir Thomas, a genial gentleman,
manages to keep his good nature in the
face of defeat His easy manners,
quick wit, good health, have made him
rich. He ought not to forget that he
owes his pleasant manners-with a
touch of blarney-his quick wit, his
good health-ali that has made his life
happy and prosperous--to the Irish
blood that is in him.
The really good Irishman would no
more want to see the Irish flag with
the British crown on it than he would
want to see his own mother with
ball and chain around her ankle.
We are sorry for Sir Thonaas's hard
luck. but we feel bound to say that we
should be sorrier still If he were
better Irishman, with keener appre-
citation of what he owes to the quality
in the Irish which has kept them
lighting for centuries. and which
makes the best of them, even at this
Late date, prefer the Irish flag with no
crown on it.-New York Evening Jour-
nal.

rs HOME The PROPER PLACE

AS it stands at present, the home is,
in many respects, a most unsuitable
place for children, and the mother, in
many ways, is an unsuitable person to
have sole charge Of them. Why? Be-
cause the home nine homes out of ten
lis a workshop, and the mother-nine
mothers out of TENS toiling house
servant. Our ideal in the instructive
care and service OF the young Is the
animal mother, yet we forget that the
perfected funct1onary has nothing else
to do. She gives instructive care, the
young ones give instructive obedience,
and all goes well, the species Is repro
duced with .to1erable success. But our
children need far more than the young
Of animals or than the papooses Of the
toiling squaw.
They need more intelligent care and
an fmmaasurably wider scheme of edu-
cation. To meet this last need society
comes forward with its institutions.
One of the most invaluable of all civ
ilized institutions is the school. Prl-
waite or public low or high, a school
is a social institution. and its use is the
care and training Of children. No mod
ern citizen will deny the usefulness or
the school, both in its supplementary
position to the home, and as react1ye
improvement to that more primitive
institution" A nation without schools
Is hopeiessly inferior, be it's MONIES"
never so active.
We must remember that children OF
all races have homes, bug only the
children OF civilized races have schools,
or, to put ID in due sequence, that
schools make civilized races. There
Will be no opposition made on this line.
We all know the value of education, or
think we do. We are used to schools
and their benefits But we still main

PHIL MAY

Phil May is dead at 39-a serious
loss to a world SO lately bereaved of
Henley and Whistler. Whistler had
lived his life fairly out, and Henley
at 81 had expressed himself reason
ably fully, but from May 20 or 80
years more Of work seemed fairly due,
and IL was work Of a sort and quality
that the world never gets enough of
Most people know good drawing when
they see it-know, that is, that. it is
good; some people know how good it
is. and a few know why it is good.
Most people knew Phil MAYS draw
ines were good; everybody that liked
fun liked the fun in them; a few ex-
perts saw in them what Whistler saw
when he said, "Black and white art is
summed up in two words-Phil May"
He put his lines in the right place to
express what he had in mind That
is about all there is in drawing but it
is difficult. Some men can place their
lines pretty well, but have nothing
very interesting in their minds, and
others-like Thackeray--have such in
teresting minds that their pictures
succeed in spite of defects in techni-
que. Phil May had highly interesting
and amusing things to communicate,
and surprising gift of pictorial dis
course. What du Maurier did for Eng
fish polite life, May did for English
low life. He was a great economist
of lines, wasted none, and got his
effects with the least possible ink
shed.--Harper's Weekly.

Speaking of the Irish land bill re-
Gently passed, one writer says that
while undoubtedly it Is In many, if not
most respects the greatest and most
valuable effort in THE direction OF re-
keying the sIriSh people of the evil of
lanHordismr ever made In the British
parliament, iit has numerous defects
which m11st be corrected by further
legislation if not offset in admindstra-
ton. This is the position taken up by
the, Irish party in regard TO the bill
The party proposed several amend
ments to the bill during its progress
in the house of commons. Many of
those amendments, perhaps the most
important of them, were accepted by
the government, and to that extent the
bin was greatly improved. But many
of the Irish amendments were not ac-
cepted, hence the defects in the meas
ure, which make it impossible to con-
slider it final settlement" If, indeed,
such settlements could be effected by
any measure having the slightest
chance of being introduced or passed
in the British legislature AS to this
point 1t may be safely asserted that
only in an Irish parliament could there
or will there be evereaccomplished any
final or satisfactory settlement OF the
Irish land question. The most that
can be said, therefore, in favor Of the
present bill as a settlement is that it
is big step,in that direction, and that
in its working, if it be honestly admin
istered, it may lead still further in that
direction until the desired object is at
tanned, namely, the complete abolition
OF the landlord system.

Unluckily Tor our Anglomaniacs,
says an exchange, facts and figures
are deads against them when they try
to trace siback their blood to an. Eng
1ish source. Statistics are their dead
lest foe. The less they have to do
with this foe the better will 1t be for
them. One of them recently had the
harthhood to assert that 100000 OF
our 81, 100000 sof white population in
1900~were descendants of the 100000
who, accor1ingrto Bancroft, composed
the populatfon@of the colonies In 1888.
The foolish Anglomaniac who made
this statementsis a Mr. Hickman Of
Brooklyn. His claim has caused the
New York Sun to~produce some sta
tistics thatsutterlya disprove tha& the
descendants of the colonials OF 200
years ago constituted two-thirds of the
white population IN 1900. The per
centage OF native whites born of ma
tive parents in thirty eight cities OF a
population of 100000 and over Is given
by the New YorkfSun. In only five of
these cities wasf there a ajorfty of
native whites of.natfve parentage. In
Milwaukee thereawerev only II per cent
of the populations; in,xFall River, Mass,
1876 per cent: in Boston, 20 per cent;
in Chicago, 20.S per cent; in New
York, is per cent; in Detroit 21.5 per
cent; i'm Cleveland, 22.9 per cent: In
San Francisco, 24.4 per cent, and in
Buffalo. 25.8 percent. These statistics
show that in ten principal cities three
quarters of the population cannot by
stretch of the imagination be placed In

Men whom the law had forbidden to

and elaborate institutions. Men who
had been sold on the auction block be-
came eligible. as governors, Legislators,
members of congress. Men who had
lived under slave code were set to
enact, interpret and administer the

could have stood the strain OF such a

the collapse of such an ill-judged ex-
