Irish Protestant Immigrant of the
eighteenth century, and Phil Sheridan,
the son Of an Irish Catholic immi-
grant of the nineteenth century.
'sThe former stands forth as the
great military genius of the struggle,
and the latter, scarcely inferior in
military ability, was the commander
Of the Federal forces at the battle Of
Five Forks, where Lees right flank
was turned and the movements ini-
tiated which resulted in the evacua-
ton Of Petersburg and Richmond and
the collapse of the great Shareholders
rebellion.
"Irish Drawn has built the great
railroads which bind the East to the
West and the North to the South.
Irish brain governs a majority of our
municipalities. Men Of Irish blood
have been the dominant ethnic strain
in that hardy race of pioneers who,
| throughout American history, have
| been found on the frontiers Of civiliza-
tfon, with Ak on one shoulder and rifle
on the other, their faces turned stead
lily to the West. The several expan-
sions Of the national domain, which
have carried us gradually from the At
lantfc to the Pacific have been chiefly
wrought by the pioneer element.
The pioneer has taken actual posses.
sion of the territory to be acquired and
the government at Washington has in
each case been compelled, by force of
public opinion, to formally acquire for
the republic the territory which the
pioneer has actually occupied.
"The development of the great
West, with its harvest of benefit for
the American people, has been made
possible by a liberal system of land
laws, which are chiefly the result of
the consecrated craftsmanship Of that
great leader of the Irish blood, Thomas
H. Benton, of Missouri.
"The great lesson of history is the
bene1cence of evil. The blood of the
martyrs is the seed of the church. The
tortures of the Spanish inquisition
are the birth-pangs of the great Dutch
republic. Without shedding Of blood
there is no remission of sins. The
guilt Of slavery was not to be washed
away without the bloodshed of Bull
Run, Shiloh and Gettysburg. From
the carnage and disorder of our great
Civil War, we have seen the Ameri.
can republic arise to higher ideals and
enlarged usefulness.
MAY we find in this thought KEY
to the divine plan in the history OF
Ireland. 1t was written in the eternal
DEGREES that for two centuries men of
Irish blood should turn their faces
westward across the Atlantic; that
their arms of Drawn should carve
homes out Of the wilderness: that the

their souls and that their hearts, burn.

mined in pushing the quarrel to the
last extremity, were the Irish, whom
the bishops and Lord Donegal and
company had been pleased to drive out
Of Ulster
"Leckey, speaking Of the Irish immi-
grants to Colonial America, says:
They went with hearts burning with
indignation and in the war of inde-
pendence they were almost to man
on the side of the insurgents. They
supplied some Of the best soldiers Of
Washington. The famous Pennsyl-
vania line was mostly Irish
Immigrants from Ulster formed a
great part of the American army, and
the constitutional question of the inde-
pendence of the Irish parliament was
closely connected with the American
| question:
"Nine of the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence and eight of the
presidents Of the United States have
been men Of Irish blood.
"In our second war with Great
Britain two great historic events stand
out. One Of them was Perry's victory
on Lake Erie and the other Jackson's
victory at New Orleans. The first
was Great Britain's most crushing
naval defeat Of the Nineteenth cen
tury, and the second was one of the
most crushing military defeats she
has ever sustained
"Oliver Hazard Perry, the victor on
Lake Erie, who announced his splen
did victory in the modest message

Both Of the parents of Andrew Jack
son We're born on the Emerald Isle
and an overwhelming majority of the
troops who fought with him at New
Orleans were men Of his own race.
! "The decades rolled on, and by and
by another testing time came for the
American people. The question arose
whether the American republic was
to be slave territory or free soil. By
the time that that question came or
for solution in the providence of God
another great tide Of Irish immigra
tion had been directed to our shores.
"In colonial times the Irish immi
grants were, for the most part Pres
byterians from the north, but from
and after 1910 they were mostly ad
herents Of the church of Rome, who
emigrated from the southern prov
inces. With characteristic enthusiasm
and with almost entire unanimity they
threw themselves into the great strug
gle on the side Of free soil and free
labor. One of the splendid chapters ir
the history Of our Civil War is the
heroism of the Irish brigade in the
Seven Days battles. Where SO many
men of Irish blood won distinction fol
themselves and glory for their race
1t would seem invidious to mention in
dividuals, but we may call attention
with propriety to the fact that the
great naval hero of the Civil War was
Admiral Farragut, of Irish extraction
on his mothers side.

publication of his paper one week in
order to 90 off on honeymoon trip
with his new-made bride. His name
is James Culp and he is editor Of the

Two New York women went apart
ment hunting and were pleasantly sur
prised to find at the end of their first
days search an apartment which
seemed to be exactly suited TO their
needs 1t was new, desirably situated
and inexpensive - three rooms and
bath, said the janitress, all with out
side exposure. The prospective ten
ants walked through the rooms, ex-
aiming every feature.
But where is the bathroom" they
inquired.
The janitress pointed to an alcove
which was furnished with gayly color
ed hangings and an awkward looking
divan covered with pillows.

Milwaukee, that the La Toilette men
are the regulars now, but that they
will become boilers after the national
convention refuses to seat their dele
gates at large That paper also de-
clares that the president is known to
be in sympathy with ythOse who bolted
the state convention. In a recent issue
it says:
IF the national convention decides
against the third teEmers and they re-
fuse to obey, they will become rebels
against the regular organization of the
Republican party Of the United States
and will have to submit. We have rea-
son to know that President Roosevelt
sympathizes with Senators SpOOner
and Quarles in thei course they have
adopted at Madison and that he will
exert an immense influence on the ma
tional convention
In n later issue the same paper reit-
crates this proposition, which has no
doubt been inspired by the two sena-
tors, who evidently have the assurance
of Postmaster General Payne and Pres
ident Roosevelt that the stalwart fol-
lowers will after that time be treated
as boilers by the national committee
and the Roosevelt administration.

They are even now in 4 bad humOr,
but they will be furious if their chief
is knitted by Roosevelt, as he surely
will be.
On the whole, there is a good chance
for the Democrats to win in Wiscon-
sin on the presidential and state tick
cts and also to gain at least six con-
| gressmen. Babcock, Minor, Jenkins,

THE VALUE OF REPOSE.

Restless Women Constantly Waste
Their Strength and Energy.
If women wOaIld learn to sit still
when they sit, TO stand still when they
stand and to lie still when they lie
they would save in n week as much
strength as most women devote to a
hard washing.
But woman when she sits twiddleS
her fingers, taps her toes on the floor.
rocks nervously and without rhythm;
rhythm produces n restful sensation,
but she doesn't rock easily and evenly,
she jerks the chair back and forth ir-
regularly. When she lies down she
continually moves her hands and feet
and even resorts to wrigSling her toes,
for no other reason under the sun than
that she is restless and does not know
how TO rest without expanding more
strength in the process
These physical indications of weari-
ness express not only weakness of the
body, but weakness of the mind. The
woman who constantly taps the floor
with her foot while she is sewing or
while she is talking with a caller is
mentally unstrung. Her mind is wan
dering. This is always noticeable.
Whenever Il woman gets in earnest she
forgets to tap the floor with her foot,
though she may stamp the floor with
her heel.
The toe tapping woman is not capa-
BILE of settling down to n long and COM
plicated problem of any sort. She is
easily swayed, easily disturbed, easily
turned from line of thought.
If any one wishes to stand for the
strength which she hopes she possesses
let her remember that all unnecessary
physical movements express both phys
ical and mental weakness just as clear
" as a wandering tongue disclOses u
