THE VISIT OF DOUGLAS HYDE.

Preparations are now being made to
welcome Mr.. Douglas Hyde upon his
coming visit to the United States. The
demonstrations which will attend his
visits to the different parts Of the
United States will doubtless rival In
their enthusiasm and magnitude those
accorded Mr.. Parnell. No one repre-
lsents more fully the new movement
for the revival OF Irish industries bet
ter than Mr. Douglas Hyde. The Won
derful work now being accomplished
Throughout Ireland and this country by
the Gaelic League is largely due to
the efforts of this one man. He rep
resents a movement SO distinctly new
in the long struggle of Ireland that
his personality Is attended with
novelty which does not attach to Irish
political leaders.
Ireland has for centuries carried on
q struggle for political rights and free
SAINT contest in which the political
rights Of the Irish people have been
the issue. Very recently it occurred
to Irishmen, of whom Mr.. Douglas
Hyde was one of the first, that the
struggle Of Ireland for the preservation
Of Irish nationality could be greatly
aided by national movement for the
development Of the Irish language and
| Irish customs. Ireland has fought sue
(cessfully the battle to maintain its
national religion, it has constantly kept
in the foreground the demand for self
government Strangely, however, the
Irish people have sat silently by and
allowed their ancient language and
literature to almost pass out Of exist
ence. Seemingly it has not occurred
to its leaders until recently that a
peoples language and peoples Gus
toms are as necessary to the preserva-
ton of nationality as is the right OF
self government.

people have passed as English O.
American. There is no good reason
why its products should not be a.
readily distinguished as are those o
other countries. 1t is the endeavor O.
the new movement to infuse the spiri
of the people into their work so thai
| the products of Ireland may be readily
distinguished as Irish. Americans have
been accustomed to speak of this an6
! that product as English German
French or something else. We look
at picture and find in it character
istics which determine the nationality
of the painter. Goods placed upon the
market have the same distinguishing
characteristics. Notwithstanding the
fact that Ireland produces and has
produced for ages some of the most
valuable fabrics, somehow or other they
have not passed for Irish products.
This may be explained by the fact
that so much of the energy of the
people has been expended in the great
struggle for political freedom that little
time has been given to the exploiting
of other work.
Mr.. Douglas Hyde represents the
new movement which has for its OBJ
ject the naturalization of Ireland by
the revival of it's ancient language and
literature by the fostering of Irish art
and the encouragement of Irish manu-
features. He represents a movement
which is teaching the people of Ire
land that if they are to maintain them
selves as nation, they must not only
continue to struggle for political free
dom, but they must maintain their
national characteristics in order to keep
up the spirit which will enable them
to maintain that struggle. 1t has been
the hope of England for centuries that
the Irish would cease to be Irish.
Through long years Of prosecution
England has attempted to stamp out
the ancient religion of the people. That
attempt was finally abandoned. She
has persevered in her attempt to de-
stroy in the Irish people the desire
for government; that attempt has
signally failed. But England has al
most succeeded in destroying the Celtic
language.
The new movement has for it's OBJ
ject the making of the Irish more Irish
than ever 1t is not intended to sup
plant Or do away with the political
The effect of the movement
in an Industrial way has already had
great effect. We are sure that Mr..
Douglas Hyde, WHO is SO intimately
connected with this movement, will
attract much attention from Americans
of Irish descent, and that his recep-
tion on his coming tour throughout the
United States will be enthusiastic.
