Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1903-03-14
Was PeOpled by Irishmen Over
One Hundred and Fifty
Years Ago.
Pioneers Were of Celtic Blood
and Eleven Counties Bear
Irish Names.
Have Been FOrmOst in Politics,
at the Bar and in the
Pulpit.
SOME HISTORY WORTH REMEMBERING

1t is not out Of place at the approach Of
St. Patrick's day to refer to the part
taken by Irishmen in the early settlement
of Kentucky. AS early as 1743 James
Mcbride, an Irishman, according to Col
Inns History of Kentucky, Twas padding
his own canoe" up Kentucky river. Long
before the war of the revolution Irish set
tiers made their homes in the ozark and
Bloody Ground" Irishmen may well
feel proud of their record in this grand
old Commonwealth. While an attempt
was made to drive them out during the
Know-nothing period of 1885, they
still remain in the State in great num-
bers, but probably in not such large
numbers if this persecution had not taken
place.
Eleven counties in Kentucky bear Irish
names. They are Adair, Butler, Logan,
Hart, Montgomery, Lyon, McCracken,
Boyle, Carroll, Rowan and Casey, while
numerous towns bear Irish names.
1t should not be forgotten that with
Daniel Boone came to Kentucky James
Mooney, John Finley and William Cool,
all Irish. This was in 1859, and 1875
John McManus, John Toole and James
Grattan laid the foundation of the city of
Louisville. Irishmen have good reason
10 feel proud of their record in Kentucky
from the earliest period. They have been
fsreEassin soltios, at.ziie bar and In the
pulpit. They have given to the armies
their most gallent leaders. DIR. Hart wa
the first practitioner in Kentucky. He
came from Maryland at a very early
period. Over twenty Of the fortified sta
tons of the early period bore Irish names,
such of Bryan's station, Feagan's station.
Firms station, Higgins block-house and
Sullivan's old station, and so on.
Kentucky owes much to the early Irish
settlers who braved the dangers of the
forest and raids from the Indians.
The present Legislature of Indiana
has passed an act appropriating
$4,000 for monument to be
erected in Statuary Hall in Wash
ington City to the memory of Gen.
George Rogers Clark. When Gen. Clark
left Louisville to reduce the British fort
at Vincennes in 1888 he was accompanied
by seventy men of Irish birth. This was
nearly half of his command. Some of
these patriots lie buried in Kentucky soil.
1t is we'll to recall their services to their
country every now and then. Kentucky
has been talking for half century about
honoring Gen. Clark's memory in some
way, but has never done so. Indiana
came in and took the honor away, claim
ing Gen. Clark as one of her citizens be-
canse he was a resident of Jacksonville
for many years. but he is buried near
Louisville. Gen. Clark's sister married
an Irishman, Col. George Croghan, whose
descendants have been famous in Ken
lucky history. In recent times Irish
Americans have reflected credit on Ken
lucky and will continue to do so for al
time to come. The influence of Irish
men in Louisville is growing stronger
from year to year, and Il will continue &c
Igrow. Movements like those of 1915
do not hurt the Irish race.

THE OLD CATHEDRAL.
1t Is the Pride of Kentucky
Catholics and Should Not
Be Demolished.

There are Catholics in Louisville who
every now and then say that the old
Cathedral on Fifth street ought to give
way to a more modern structure. They
comment on the fact that other cities of
the size Of Louisville have what are
called up-to-date Cathedrals and Louis
vile lags behind.
The Cathedral of the Assumption was
built over fifty years ago by Bishop
Spalding, then the Bishop of Louisville,
but afterward Archbishop of Baltimore.
1t was then one of the finest church edi-
fees in the territory south of the Ohio. 1t
is today a grand building and ought to
be good enough for the Catholics of
Louisville for the next quarter of CEN
tury. 1t needs little brushing up, to
be sure, but to say that modern struct-
ure should supplant it is not doing justice
to the Catholic pioneers who erected the
grand old building.
Bishop McCloskey has not been favor
able to the modern idea of erecting
magnificent church edi6ces during his
incumbency in the Office of Bishop of
Louisville. He has rather inclined to
favor the policy of building small
churches where they are most needed.
There are too many fine churches and too
few churches in neighborhoods most
needing them.
Since Bishop Mecloskey has been IN
office he has built over fifty churches
throughout the diocese, and he has not
neglected work among the poor. Had
he cared to do so he could have built a
fine Cathedral which might have been a
monument to his memory, but he pre-
ferred the other course, and no one will
say that he has not acted wisely.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1903-02-04

"Ich diem the motto which belongs
to the Prince of Wales, # usually
translated Il serve" and tradition has
It that il was taken by the Black
Prince from the royal helmet of the
blind king Of Bohemia, who was killed
on the field of Crecy. II is a notable
fact, however, that the late In. VIII
liam lime. professor Of English litera-
ture at Heidelberg, rejected this the
ory, He held that the motto was Of
Welsh origin and took its rise at the
time when Edward /. presented his
newborn eldest son to the Welsh chief
tains al Carnarban castle as their fu-
ture sovereign. He held the child up
10 his arms and exclaimed in Welsh.
"Eich dyn." meaning 'this is your
man" The explanation is accepted by
many antiquarians.

No. cu.Iona wora.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously lnterreated. The
French and the English sen ndyentur-
ers once made common c.use against
Spanish settlements in the new world.
and all three Of these words came in
time to describe the rude sea soldiers
who despoiled the Spanish main and
the towns upon the coasts of the Span
ish possessions. Fillbuster Is said to
be the result of an attempt to make
French word OF freebooter. and the
English borrowed II back from the
French because II sounded less frankly
brutal than the English word.
Buccaneer was originally French in
form, and It meant at first one who
hunted the boucan or wild cattle and
hogs of the West Indies; then one who
made jerked meat of their flesh, and
finally, because this meat was used to
provision the ships of the sea rovers, a
filibuster OF freebooter.
