story to several large audiences. But let this stand

some hundreds of tenants huddled together
wretched plots of three four of bad land.
Most of them went to England or Scotland every
year for the harvest months, and enduring terrible
hardships, sleeping in barns living potatoes and
herrings, denying themselves ything,-managed
them to pay the rent and keep their cabins over
their heads. The landlord was an absentee There
stood in the midst of the estate great CASTLE gaunt.

That the first election of General Grant as
President. At that time l had friend living in
Idaho Springs who, while an ardent Republican,
very short of cash. There were great many
men from the Southern States in the mining camps
of Colorado in those days. and Idaho Springs was no
exception to the rule. They were quite sure that
Grant, whom above all Others they seemed dislike,
would be defeated, and they professed themselves
their money.
Whether because of their confidence or because
of their knowledge of my friends poor financial con-

And now at last before Our own eyes, in this gen.
Grafton of to which we belong, this secular
struggle is at end; the battle has been fought
and has been won the land belongs again to the
ancient Celtic race from which it was stolen cen

Mr. Wyndham has given to this problem of the
reconquest of Ireland tremendous impulse that
practically any man who holds a farm can buy
his land with the assistance of State money if the
landlord and he agree to the terms; and that
already nearly half the soil of Ireland has thus
changed hands, and that the second half will be
transferred at much accelerated speed
The New Plantation
EVERYBODY in America knows this broad fact;
Il but how few realize what all this in the
inner life of Ireland! l look with something like
awe and amazement at these Government officials
who are engaged in this work 1t gives curl
Gus impression that Ireland is not only of the
most ancient nations in the world, but one of the
newest and the youngest. You hear of some
ancient landmark like castle and an aristocratc
family whose mansion has just been Sold and whose
whole territory is entirely in the hands of the
peasants whom in my own time, this same family
could rob exile. 1t is almost if you listen
ing to victorious General who had invaded
and conquered country and was parceing out the
land among his retainers. 1t is a resettement a
new plantation-to use the word applied to that
very different form of land transfer under which
James |. gave to men from Scotland the lands of
the ODonnells and the O'Neills after their defeat
in battle
And if you to realize further what all this
means do not forget that these people who are
brought into full liberty able to appreciate
it the from the fact that the greater part of
them were born into slavery, and know all that
slavery means. l myself, though not septua-
