If you will send us proper shipping

We have some doubt in our minds
about our having the authority to
give away car load of coal, but it
seems in this case 1t is a splendid
charity, and we are therefore going
to make the donation. Also, we
would be glad to have you feel that
the gift is in measure on your
account for your efforts in ''ehalf OF
our coal IN your district.
Please say to Judge Lawson
that his letter stated the case very
clearly, and If anything was needed
to further win our consent il was
to the desired effect.
With the compliments of the
season, we beg to remain,

for a meeting of the committee at

ment. This is proclaimed not by
Catholics, but by our metropolitan
papers, by popular magazines, by
judges Of our courts, by clergymen
outside the Catholic church Of ma.
tional reputation: Divorce is spread,
ing its cancerous tentacles over an
appallingly increasing number of
homes, poisoning the very roots of
society. Mormonism deiies the gov
ernment Political corruption is wide

The laws indecisions and de-

multiply with astonishing rapidity
and ingenuity. The incalculable
wealth of our country's natural re.
sources is restricted and held back
from millions of the poor to enrich
the Golfers Of a few multi-millionaires.
These are problems pre-.

they are problems to stagger the mind

flowers,
My dark Rosaleen!
NV fond poco1aori

My fond Rosaleen!
You'll think of ine through daylight's
hours,
My virgin flower, my flower OF flowers,
My dark Rosaleen!"
This is the love OF fatherland be-
come passionate religion, a sublime
and immaculate love that can no more
be torn from the hearts OF the people
in a word, the idea OF nationality
and the blood OF the Irish people are
henceforth so blended, comingled, uni
fed, that both may perish, but neither
can evermere dwell apart, even in
thought ....
Nevertheless, when we look upon
the world as it is an unquiet forebod
ing seiZes upon our long expectant
souls. The population Of Ireland Is
dwindling; the long-looked-for meas
ure of independence is withheld; ev-
cry proposition of financial, academ-
ical, political justice is rejected. We
behold tottering empress fiattering
ireland with her presence because it
is the nursery of those warriors whom
she needed to stifle the free states
that were rising in remotest Africa.
We see those same Irishmen fighting
her battles while her own mercenary
children cling to their ledgers and
money bags with true Carthagenian
instinct, and reap from their easy
perches the harvest OF prosperity that
was sown in blood by the hand Of
injustice We see fully twenty mil
lions of the sons OF Ireland scattered
over the world, while less than five
millions inhabit the home OF the race.
We seem also to perceive beginning
Of apathy in the race itself-a certain
sinking of that indomitable courage
which ensouled every generation since
the fatal day when the last O'Connor
descended from his Independent
throne.
In this century Ireland has lost her
population to the world at large.
Other races gave up their superfluity;
Ireland shared her very heart with
the new societies that have sprung
up within the memory OF man. Other
races held and still hold an inherit
ance of comfort and independence;
ireland sent abroad lavishly the forces
that were needed, every man and
woman Of them for the regeneration
of the nation. In the first flush OF
generous enthusiasm and ideal devO-
tiOn to the cause OF human freedom
that followed in the wake OF the
French Revolution the little nations
of the earth looked up, took heart,
established emsGlves-ourselves the
first Of all. And the lesson of our
practical success was taken to heart
the world over The Dutch and the
Belgians consolidated their states; the
Magyars forced the hand Of Austria;
the CZechs lifted up their heads and
everywhere the little nations of the
world asserted themselves and in the
universal good will had their claims
allowed, Holy Alliances and Imperial
Congresses to the contrary notwith-
standing. All that Ireland got, char.
acteristically enough, was the free
