Chicago, sept 26.-Shades Of St
Patrick,
They say that blackthorn sticks are
now grown in America and shipped
To ireland. where they are sold ON
the quay at Queenstown as the gem
uine Irish article, says the Tribune.
Wisha gra machree, did you ever
think IL would come 10 this?
Police Sergeant Maurice Crotty who
returned yesterday from a six weeks
visit to the Emerald isle, is reSpon-
sihle for the statement that counter
felt shllelahs are sold extensively In
Queenstown and other Irish cities He
brought half q dozen blackthorns back
with him. hut TO make sure that they
were the real article he cut them
himself in the Cratlowe woods, Coun-
ty Glare
Many a man i'm Chicago said

ying am Irish blackthoin is in real
ity Juggling around stick that was
grown right here In cook county.
Thousands upon thousands Of these
counterfeit blackthorns are sold an
nually in iceland. principally at the
quay in Queenstown.
"The genuine backbone is a
scarce article in Ireland on account Of
the great quantity that has been cut
in recent years In Limerick, my ma
tive county. I was told that a syndi-
cate Of Jews invaded that part of Ire
land a few years ago and bought up
every blackthorn in sight The BUSH
es were clipped bare. This also was
true Of Kerry, Clare, Tipperary, and,
IN fact, in every county in Ireland
where the blackthorn flourished the
syndicate. or trust. brought up every
thing in the shape of a shillah.
Thousands, yes, millions, of black

tourists in the last few years. and now
there is a famine. If you want'to call
it that. in the blackthorn industry.
anybody who is at all wise will
not buy a so-called blackthorn from
the pedlers on the dock at Queens
town. You might get the genuine ar
ticle, but you run a chance of getting
a stick that was grown in Connecti-
cut, the home Of wooden nutmegs and
Eastwood hams.
People in Ireland who are onto
the game told me that shiploads Of
these counterfeit blackthorns are
brought from America every year.
They are shipped over in gunny sacks
and. on arrival in Queenstown, they
are taken to the shillelah factory,
where expert wOrkmen make them
into blackthorns that defy detection.
THE wood is stained to the proper
shade and the ferrule is put on-the
genuine old country ferrule-and I'm
told when the stick is finished il would
fool a Connaught ranger.
when I came 10 Queenstown to
take the ship for New York I carried
the blackthorns with me that l had
cut at Cratlowe. They were as fine
as ever came out Of Garryowen.
Where did you get them ?" asked
one Of the pedlers on the wharf
u answered him in Gaelic that
cut them myself to be sure that they
were not bogus

asks you to try it a week and if you

your money. This is fair and honest.
Ask your druggist for the remedies or

BRYAN'S MERCILESS LOGIC.

By all the rules Of logic, Mr. Taft is compelled
at this stage of the game to accept one Of the
horns of the dilemma offered him in bis adye1saryis
letter of acceptance:
l. If the claims set up for the Republican
party are justified by the facts, if the party's adj
ministraton of the laws have been wise and honest
if the party has done its duty to the people and
the nation as a whole, then the charges of wrong.
doing embodied in the Roosevelt reforms and set
forth in Roosevet's policies are without the shadow
of excuse and should be considered defamatory and
libelous attacks on our government and on us-on
our business, our good name and our reputation
before the world. But Mr.. Taft has endorsed
those policies seconded those charges and is large
ly responsible for the administration.
2. If the charges are true-if we may accept
the word of the president endorsed by Mr.. Taft
that for ten years. the people have been grossly
wronged by predatory wealth and kindred inter
ests then the party in power and President Roose-
welt and Mr.. Taft in charge of the party and the
party itself guilty in that, for six years, they
have neither enforced existing laws for the punish
ment of the monstrous crimes alleged have
they passed statutes designed to punish these
powerful criminals. Since the party and its lead
ers have been derelict in duty, how we trust
them again! Since the party still fails to offer
definite plan for Furnishing the crimes it claims to
have discovered and since only vague promises of
reform are offered in lieu of per 0rmance at some
indefinite time, with what appearance of justice
can a new lease of confidence be demanded and on
what ground can Mr.. Taft ask Office that he may
carry onward and ''cinch' this policy of denun-
citation linked with the practice of doing nothing
We submit that the summer will be too short
for Mr.. Taft to answer satisfactorily this challenge
hurled in his teeth His only hope is deceiviDg
the voters yet once again.-Florida Times Union
