The Hub 10 the Worlds Greatest Irish
Cjty,

Flags and banners were waving
over nearly every inch Of old Boston

thousands who once Acknowledged

gerald. young. untiringly active, tre-
mendously energetic, with the 100000
men, women and children Of Boston
supporting him. is making this week
the gala week in the history Of that
city.
The Boston Puritan: who has not
visited his former home in twenty
or thirty years. will find. doubtless.
a very great surprse-in a denation-
allied city. For the inhabitants Of
the Athens Of America might well be
mistaken, as to the greater part of
them. for the metropolis Of Ireland.
AS a, matter of fact, there are more
people of Irish blood in Boston than
are living in Dublin. Foot up the re-
spective populations of Cork, Limerick.
Enniskillen. Londonderry, Waterford
and the dozen largest Irish towns. not
including Orange Belfast, and the num-
ber of their Irish inhabitants. all told

of Boston
Dublin, Cork and Limerick are Irish
Catholic cities. the two aforementioned
overwhelmingly So and yet the Irish
Protestant city officials number one
third of the municipal and county Of
ficials.
Wonderful has been the political ad-
vancement Of the Irish emigrants in
Boston, and do not doubt but the
same energy, if contributed to the
work Of other pursuits would have
been better for the Boston Irish than
politics, says James ]. McGuire in the
Catholic Sun. However this may be.
and will not attempt in this letter to
discuss the philosophy of pernicious
political existence. the fact remains
that political Boston is Irish and the
oldtime Puritan field is strangely. pc
culiarly Celtic. And the Irish have
the votes to back up their claims. A
giant stone- thrower of far distances,
hurting stones from the Bunker Hill
monument, would land most Of his
missiles on the homes Of the Irish
emigrants or their children.
When the returned-home son of
Boston reached the old town he was
greeted by Mayor John F. Fitzgerald
and the following members Of Con-
gress: OConnell. Kelihar, Sullivan
and McNary-following in the foot
steps Of Webster, Sumner, Adams and
Hoar. They were told Of the great
work as mayor Of the late beloved
Patrick A. Collins and they saw the
statue Of his dear friend and great
poet-John Boyle o'Reilly.
At the city hall they found the sons
