THE PASSING OF THE GAEL.

They are going, going. going from the
valleys and the hills,
They are leaving far behind them
heathery moor and mountain rills,
All the wealth of hawthorn hedges

They are going. shy-eyed colleens and
lads so straight and tall,
From the purple peaks of Kerry, from
the crags of wild Imaal,
From the greening plains of Mayo and
the glens of Donegal.
They are leaving pleasant places. shores
with snowy sands outspread:
Blue and lonely lakes a-stirring when
the wind stir overhead:
Tender living hearts that love them.
and the graves of kindred dead.
They shall carry to the distant land a
tear-drop in the eye,
And some shall go Observation-Disclosures

Oh, KathaIeen Nj Houlihan, your road s
a thorTy way,
And tits a faithful soul would walk the
flints with you for aye,
Would walk the sharp and cruel flints
until his locks grew gray.
So some must wander to the east. and
some must wander west:
Some seek the white wastes of the
north, and some a southern nest:
Yet never shall they sleep so sweet as
on your mothers breast.
The whip of hunger scourged them
from the glens and quiet moors,
But there's a hunger Of the heart that
plenty never cures;
And they shall pine 10 walk again the
rough road that is yours.
Within the city streets, hot, hurried,
full of care,
A sudden dream shall bring them

tesque conception of the whisky-sod-
den cockney brain, in which the wish
is always father to the thought. 1t is
catered to by a class of Americans
who are best described in the express
sive language of slang as cheap
skates
| There are no two elements in Amer
ca that fraternize more readily than
! the Irish and the German. Both are
mentally and physically the brain and
| Drawn of America. Both races have
a supreme contempt for the conceited,
narrow minded freak under the name
of Anglo-Saxon. Both are hearty men
and women, with good red blood in
their veins that they are are ashamed
1 Of. Both have a holy horror and de-
testation of the shifting, hypocritical,
puritanical pharisees who are contin-
ually burdening the wind with their
Disqualification, and their protestas
| tons of superior virtue, while the air
stinks with the foulnesS of the secret
sins of their cold-b looded passions.
The Irish and the Germans profess to
be human. with hearts that warm to
| human sympathy and feel for human
suffering. They are races whose cha
rity is never organized, is never cooled
in the ice box of system, but proceeds
spontaneously from warm hearts in re-
Spouse to the cry of want. The oTff
may drink to SUR and Shannon, the
other to Rhine and Danube: but with
glasses clinking both will pledge their
love and fealty to the land of their
adoption. And well they proved it on
every American battlefield, from Con-
cord to the hill of San Juan.
Animosity between these races? 1t
would be a moral as we'll as psy-
ora fno
much alike in disposition and charac-
ter. Besides, there is another bond
that clamps their mutual friendship.
Many centuries ago Irish monks
brought the light of Christianity to
the German tribes and taught them
the arts of higher civilization.
Among others. the art of iron work,
which was subsequently brought by
the Germans to such a high degree of
excellence, was originally brought to
Germany from Ireland by the Irish
monks. And many hundred years aft
er, when by stress of persecution and
neglect, the Gaelic tongue was almost
in the throes of dissolution, German
philologists like Windisch. thinner,
Zeuss and Kano Meyer saved the lam
guage from death, and gave back to
Ireland her native tongue, never again,
please God, to reach so low a state of
exhaustion.
If anyone wants to see the real feel
ing between Germans and Irish. let
them examine the marriage registers
of the western states, where the fra
ternal tie is clinched by the holy bonds
of matrimony. There in every Catflo-
lie parish you will find splendid speci
mems of the Celto-Teutonic race. At
TEND the. church fairs and the local en-
tertainments, and on every program
you will find Irish and German young
ladies working together for some good
object. In another century, especially
among the Catholics, the Germans and
the Irish will become as much inter
married as the Normans and the Irish
in the old land.
There are no two races in America
today who are nearer TO becoming one
people than the Irish and the Ger
mans. And God bless the good work,
say We!

Force Central District
Scale.

Indianapolis, Ind.-With a few
changes, the international conven-
ton of mine workers Thursday
adopted its scale committees report.
Briefly stated, the policy is that the
separate districts may adopt wage con.
tracts with their operators; that such
contracts shall be for one year, and
that the scale shall provide for mot
less than the present wage rates."
Section 1, providing that the South
western district miners may meet
their operators at once and settle upon
a scale, was adopted. This settles all
questions of strike in the Southwest,
as the operators there are ready to
sign a scale.
The report favors settlement with
the operators by districts which will
mesE that the Indiana operators will
sign at once, and, of course, other
stats are also expected to sign. The
miners demand the continuance of the
present wage scale.
