a manifesto has just been issued on be-
half Of the Irish societies in London,
calling upon Irish men and Irish women
there to refrain from In any way helping
or patronizing the Dublin exhibition, on
the good ground that it must have an
evil effect on the future OF Ireland In
discussing the reasons which have in
duced them to issue this manifesto the
sIgnatories refer TO the continuous emil
grafton from Ireland owing to the lack
OF employment. and pointing out that
during the last year 1904 no less than E26.-
025, 754 worth Of manufactured or partly
manufactured goods were imported into
the country. Foreign firms. the manifesto
states, are exhibiting at the exhibition
with a view to securing a further share Of
Irish trade. and therefore the exposition
is one which no Irish man or woman who
has the prosperity Of Ireland at heart
should for a moment support. The socie-
ties signing tho manifesto are the Gaelic
League. the Dungannon Club. the Gu
mann ma Gaedheal. the Gaelic Athletic
Association, and the National Council II
Is also stated that Mr.. John Redmond
and Mr.. F. L, Chilly, general secretary
Of the United Irish League Of Great Bril-
tain, had written to the signatories point
ing out that the attitude OF the Irish
party and the league had all along been
one Of condemnation Of the exhibition.

DIT. Douglas Hyde. the president Of the
Gaelic League. and, perhaps. the real
leader to-day in Ireland-he who made
such a good impression when the toured
in America eighteen months ago-has Just
been making the rounds Of the Kingdom
Of Kerry, in the interests Of the Gaelic
League. He had a triumphant progress,
truly.through Kerry. Here is what a cor
respondent says Of him: From the time
he landed in Traleeon he belonged to the
crowd. He was conveyed by it to and
fro, 10 his hotel. to the courthouse. where
he held an immense audience fin thrau by

only to have set their cause back. He
had lost all faith IN parliamentary poll

OBrien could have got from a Tory gov
eminent a very much better measure than
had the Home Rule Liberal government
now offered Mr.. Redmond Yet O'Brien
and his followers were drummed out OF
the party for asking consideration for the
measure. Il s understood that Mr.. Red

the last few years they have drawn
enormous sums from faithful Irishmen IN

Ireland this year. II Mr. Redmond sue

in a state Of despair. The one polcy

To Michael Davitts grave IN lonely
straide. County Of Mayo on Sunday,
June 60 there will throng multitudes Of
pilgrims from all corners Of Connaught.
and even from far beyond its bounds
there TO pay respect to the memory Of one
Of the Durest hearted and bravest OF the
parliamentarians. Michael Davitt was
singularly courageous and honest In his
patriotism. and 1t is well known that in
his latter years he was fast losing his
faith in parliamentary methods. and real
izing that nothing was TO be won by fight
ing for Ireland on the floor Of the British
House Of Commons; but that for Ireland
in Ireland's own valleys, and on her own
plains and hill sides-the faith on which
the Land League fought and won its
great fight. Michael Davitt VIII long
remain a cherished memory with Irish
people. in his own country he is idollzed.
1t is probable that this pilgrimage will
Institute an annual pilgrimage. which
viii become one Of the greatest events
Of the year in Ireland.
