IRISH AMERICANS
DEMAND FREE ISLAND
Nothing Less Than Independ-
ence Will Satisfy the
Societies Here

Chicago, Sept. 21.--At the First Reg
iment armory a huge meeting, under
the auspices of the United Irish So
cieties of Chicago, adopted resolutions
declaring that no settlement of the
Irish question short of national in
dependence will satisfy the aspirations
of the Irish people. The occasion for
the gathering was the Tooth ami
sary of the execution Of Robert Emmett,
and the resolutions were emphatic that
no Ireland viii satisfy men of Irish
blood but the ireland for which Emmet
died, Ireland as a nation free and in
dependent, making her own laws,
floating her own flag, shaping her own
fortunes, acknowledging allegiance to
no power outside the limits with which
nature has bounded the island.
The resolutions add:
while we recognize in the land bill
which has recently became law a sub
stantial concession to the just demand:
of the Irish people, we do not regard 4
as either a settlement or a compromise
of the Irish question. We urge the
leaders Of the United Irish League tC
take up with vigor and increased ac
tivity the movement to secure legis
lative independence, which we hold t
be Of greater Importance than the set
tlement of the land question"
The speakers at the meeting in
cluded General Nelson A. Miles, Rabb
Hirsch, judge Marcus Kayanagh anC

BOY BADLY INJURED
BY REED BIRD GUNNER

Clarence Alexander, aged y years. liv-
ing in street South Wilmington. was
shot In the face by a gunner named Ed
ward H. Denney Saturday afternoon, and
as a result it Is feared that he will lose
his sight The accident occurred on a
marsh near the Malleable Iron Works.
After the shooting the gunner disap-
lpeared.
The youngster was assisted to his home
by several other boys and from there re-
moved to the Homeopathic Hospital. The
physicians are making every effort to re-
store the vision Of at least one eye. but
this IS only a hope not to be relied upon
as the load OF shot struck the boy fairly
IN the face puncturing both eyes.
Yesterday Denney called upon the
father of the boy and explained that he
was the gunner. He says a boy COM

when You my Cheese.

When you buy cheese bear in mind
that all good cheese win be mellow TO
the touch, yet firm. The rind will be Of
an even tint, elastic and free from puffs,
and a sample will reveal a firm, close,
buttery grain Of nutty flavor. Cheese
which feels so hard that you cannot
dent it with your finger tips on the rind
is either sour, salted too heavily, skim
med or cooked too much. On the other
hand. If the rind breaks upon pressure
or does not spring back readily when
the finger is withdrawn this indicates
an oversoft article. caused by the slack
cooling Of the curd or a want Of acid
At best it will have an insipid flavor

Al Wind and Water.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1t appears that forty-fve Of the COR
porations made in New Jersey have
been placed in the hands OF receivers
since the first Of the year, that their
liabilities are fourteen times as great
as their assets, and that the stockhold-
ers in a majority OF them are not likely
TO get anything worth mentioning out
Of their investment.
There is nothing to surprise one in
this showing, but 1t comes as a quick
and interesting confirmation Of the sus-
picions that were aroused when the new
ventures in fancy financiering were be-
gun. Such OF the enterprises as were
undertaken in good faith have been
trying the impossible feat OF creating
something out of nothing, and have
failed as a matter OF course. Others
have been essentially of a swindling
nature all through. 1t is sometimes
difficult to mark the place where hon.
esty ceases and fraud begins, but most
promoting schemes proceed upon a
false principle. They draw at terrific
rate upon the future. The Imagination
runs riot until all thought Of the eter-
nal verities is lost and habitual lying
supervenes.

A Canadian View.

The Postmaster General Of the
United States dismisses Miss Todd, a
posmistress in Delaware. avowing as
the sole ground OF the action that she
was particularly and personally obnox-
ious to Senator Ailes." Senator Alice
IS a tool OF the scoundrel Addicks, who
has for years beer openly and deliber-
ately debauching Delaware for the pur-
pose OF gratifying his own upstart van
ity with a Senatorship Of the United
States. Il is absolutely astounding that
a high official Of the nation should un-
olusningly accede to a demand for
making which Alice richly deserves,
not only to be expelled from public life
but to be turned out Of his club. The
Postmaster-G General tries to clear him
self by saying that personally" meant
politically and that the "sDoils" OF
that district belonged to Alice. once

THE EVENING JOURNAL MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2l. 1908

Robert @. Houston. Collector of the
Port, at the meeting Of the Board OF
Trade on Saturday made a remark that
gives us an idea of the reason that
Wilmington receives so little attention
when she demands harbor improve
ments. According to his statements
Wilmington imports amount to $685. 900
annually, but only s150,0o0 Of this
amount comes through our custom
house. In other words, because many
Wilmington importers prefer to have
their goods 90 through the custom
house OF New York or Philadelphia, our
port is credited with much less business
than e should actually do. and which
in a sonse 1t is doing.
