THEY HAVE HOPE.

Today the world over there is hope
in the hearts of the sons and daugh-
tiers of Erin and their descendants
that the present year win see home
rule granted ITO Ireland. For over one
hundred years that fair country has
been subjected to persecution and
misgovernment that would have
totally obliterated a less virtuous
and sturdy race of people. When the
act of union was passed in 1900 Ire
lands population was over nine
millions, but England's misrule and
heartless policy have reduced that
number by half and brought the coun-
try to the verge of ruin. Never before
were the people more united than
now, and following the lead of John
Redmond and the Nationalist party it
would seem that the cloud that has so
long lowered over the most faithful
nation the world has ever known
must soon pass away and her sun
shine brighter than at any time in
her past history. God speed the day
that Ireland viii have home rule and
her own Parliament, whichV would
mean a return to tine conditions exist
ing in the days of Grattan, when tbs
land of st. Patrick had hundreds of
smiling, happy, prosperous villages,
maintaining large populations of
good, Strong men and women.

JUST A WORD.

Tomorrow will be the anniversary o.
St. Patrick, the apostle of Ireland, a
day that is dear to the lrishman no
matter where he may be. From the
time of the saints conversion OF
Erin from Druidism to the presen'
dav Ireland's sons and daughters have
been true to the faith and loyal to
country. The story of Ireland is ali
interesting one-one not surpassed
in the history of the world. Perse-
cuted and driven from the land OF
their birth, there is not nation t'iat
has not benefited by the acquisition
of the Irish.
In our own free and glorious coun-
try no other race has contributed as
much to it's spiritual, intellectual and
material advancement as have the
Irish and their descendants. Their
record is a proud one and should be
kept fresh in the minds of our peo-
pie. This duty falls to the parents
of the rising generation, who at this
time might well review the striking
and brilliant careers of their ances'
try. The example set by the sturdy
and honest Irish-Americans is well
worthy of emulation. Leading pure
and upright lives, developing and i'm
proving the country, illustrious and
wise in Legislative councils of their
adopted land, distinguished for
bravery and courage on the field OF
BATTLE, foremost in the pulpit and in
the law, who is there that can look
back with feelings other than pride
'S'vithsthe.-sSacts before us we wouil
urge Irish fathers and mothers to
make their children better acquainted
with the history of their forefatihers
who left them a great heritage. Sc
cure for them any one of the many
histories of the Irish in the old land
and in America and there will follow
mental and moral improvement. Lei
us become the Americans of America
but ever remain true to the teachings
and traditions of the Isle of Saints
and Scholars.

GREATER LOUISVILLE.

The Greater Louisville Exposition
that win open Monday night and con-
tinue for two weeks should prove a
big thing for our city and credit
to Kentucky. Here inventions, manu-
features, art, literature, all will be
sxemplified in most charming and
brilliant manner. It is therefore the
duty of every citizen to do something
for it's success, for the reputation
of the city will in a measure be at
stake. This exposition win teach
everybody something, which after ali
IS the consideration of greatest inn
portancc and the most lasting. There
are thousands who know but little
OF the many and varied industries
that have sprung up in Louisville
within the past few years, the knowl-
edge Of which they should not longer
delay. The railroads have given re-

SUFFERING.

The most deplorable and worst
labor trouble that Louisville has ever
experienced has been in progress
since Sunday morning, and it's bane-
full effects are already far reaching.
The failure of the Traction Company
and its employees to settle their
differences has paralyzed business,
from the effects of which it will take
some time to recover. This contest
has already been prolonged too far,
simply because the company would
not treat with its employees and leave
to arbitration questions upon which
they can not agree. A settlement
could have been arrived at on Monday
by which all the trouble and expense
that have since been incurred could
have been obviated, and this without
any more cost for operating the
street cars than before the strike.
More serious than the monetary
loss is the inconvenience and suffer
ing to which the people of the city
have been so needlessly subjected,
and which is being followed by sick
ness contracted by those exposed to
the misunderstanding weather of the
past few days by the action of the
Traction Company. President Minary
and Superintendent Funk should be
made to realize that they owe some
thing TO the community from which
they have received so much. They
should remember that one life is far
more valuable than their entire sys-
TEN.
If in this trouble there. is loss o.
life the railroad officials will be ac.
cessory. In any view of the case they
are violating their charter rights
and if they longer persist in a policy
that is bringing harm upon our city
the people should rise en- masse and
take control of the streets, which are
public property and do not belong 10
the Traction Company.
just as we go to press rumors are
afloat that negotiations are under
way that may lead to settlement
of the contest. We sincerely hope
that when this paper reaches its
readers they will have been successful
and that peace and quiet have beer
restored.

event in which the Catholics of New
Hampshire are one and all greatly

many other days which could have
been chosen for this ceremony, but
that the day selected had a special
significance, that of the patron saint
of the Church in the United States,
and more especially the patron saint
of the Cathedral, Tor whom the
church had been named. In choos-
