What Irish-Americans Should DO.

In an article on Col. Arthur Lynch,
in the Boston Pilot, Mr.. Joseph Smith
says:
I see 10 reason for Irishmen hold
ing Indignation meetings and passing
fiery resolutions OH American soil;
they amount to little or nothing.
What they should do is turn their
guns on England in America; spoil
her well-laid plans here, and show up
her schemes to the plain American
people. She cares more for a slice of
Alaska than for Lynch's head, and
Irish voters want to get after their
senators strongly and resolutely and
spoil Hays job to turn over the out
let's by sea in our golden land to
Canada. Insist on making her re-
sponsible for her share in the Nenez-
uelan matter; do not let her, through
her paid pens-Abe Low, of Wash
ington, and his illl-try to sacrifice
Germany and get both profit and pres
tige out of her alliance. Push her
off the map in Cuba and elsewhere.
Answer her vindictiveness abroad
with practical and effective punish
ment in America. Fight her friends
here i'll office and out; boycott her
goods and spoil her trade.
These things are better than hours
of defamation and realms of resolu-
tons. Remember, the presidential
nomination and election are close at
hand. and the makers of American
policies will hear you With attention
The "Irish VOTE" organized and di-
rccted right, can undo every scheme
that England has been working for
ten years; she needs American SYM
pathy badly; and some of her most
ardent workers have died recently
and gone. we fear, where coal famines
are unknown.
Times have changed; and if Irish
Americans will only realize it, the
battlefield where Irish freedom is to
be gained is right here in America
Vote for the man, everything else be-
ing equal, who is with us and against
the others. Colorado has just spoken
and laid Wolcott permanently on the
shelf. This is good piece Of work,

IRISH DRAMATISTS. -:

literature was Irish, was met with the
question: How about Shakespeare

no.; was the reply, but, bcgor, they
We're good enough to be Irish!
To-day this position is more than
reversed; not only do English writer's
admit the Sheridans, Congreves, BAN
inns and Goldsmiths to be good enough
to be. but actually claim them to be
English, writes John l.. Carleton, in
the New Freeman of st. John, N. Il.
The din and smoke Of Il thousand
years of battle have drowned the
voice of Ireland's muse and obscured
the vision of the exalted place she oc-
cupies in the temple Of art.
She has had her worthy, more wor-

Of British drama, excepting only one

Peculiar Russian Custom.

this story: One day | remarked to

Yes, he said, and there also some.
thing remarkable about him that you
don't see. That man has been kissed
by czar' 'When-why?' | asked
in astonishment Some years ago.,
replied my friend, he was on sentry
duty in the garden of an imperial pal
ace and in the early Easter morning
the empero~ came out lone. "Vos-
kress Christos! Christ is risen
said the sentry, as custom prescribes,
and it is also prescribed that you
shall salute with kiss the first per.

customs in Russia are binding upon

charming story and well illustrates
the comparative nearness of top and

A Curious Rainfall.

One day not long ago. rain fell at
the town of Periers. in France, for
several hours. The rainwater collect
ed looked like lye, or like water con
tanning clay 1t was odorless, of
earthly taste, and slightly saline After
twenty-four hours it precipitated an
abundant deposit that was almost en-
tirely iliciC $. Linen clothes ard the
leaves of plants were covered with
a considerable silicious matter AS
previous rain had thoroughly wetted
the ground. this phenon won is not
20 be explained by supposing that a
large amount of siliciCus dust had
been carried into the air by winds
and subsequently precipit led by rain
The most probable explanation is
that the water of the preceding rains
lay in very shallow pools on the sur,
face of sih> Gus ground, and that by
high winds (which were observed) the
water was raised into the air and sub.
sequently descended as rain.

Negro Roustabout Fully Understood
the Situation.
A hnd-hearted ington woman
iaid visit to New Orleans while the
shipping season on the river was at
its height. and as the Il ding or un-
loa'ing of a big river boat is one of
the most interesting things imaginable
to watch, she went one day to the
levee where q steamboat, one of the
largest afioat, was discharging its
cargo. The mate of the vessel stood
at the gangplank and directed the
operations of the negro roustabouts.
He was loud-voiced as a mate should
be, and he beloved and roared and
swore and now and then whacked
some unusually slow or stupid negro
with a spar. One negro received 30
many blows that the Washington
woman's synpathies were aroused.
When she could endure the mates
brutality toward him no longer she
walked over to where the negro stood
and spoke to him.
why do you allow that man to
strike you and curse you as he does ?'
she asked.
The negro looked at her in surprise
and then showed all his teeth in a
grin.
