 we all know what the country thinks of General Meade, a descen- dant of Irish stock, for his name and Gettysburg are synonymous; of Phil Kearney, who was beloved and ador- ed by his men and who won fame and admiration in the Mexican war and in the Civil War was specially mentioned for his bravery at York town, Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, and died fighting for his country at Chanctilly; of McC1ellan's develop ment of green men and his wonderful achievements; of Judson Fitzpatrick, who distinguished himself at Monte rey, and at Gettysburg, and was the right hand man of Sherman, com manding his cavalry in the march Of that intrepid leader to the sea; of Gilmore at Savannah and Logan at
  whose mothers maiden name was Elizabeth Shine, the daughter of an Irishman at that memorable conflict at New Orleans when he made that characteristic Irish reply: Damn the torpedoes, go ahead
 Brother Irshmen, as we sit here tonight and ponder over these great deeds, will you kindly consider with me what a glorious country Ireland would be if men of this character had not been driven to foreign climes to work out their destinies; but. we have suffered long and patiently and have sighed, prayed and labored for the bet torment of Ireland from this beaut1- full land of liberty. Is our patience to be rewarded? I fervently and ear nestly hope so, and as we gather at this festive board in years to come, I hope that we will soon picture in our minds eye, the green hills and val leys of this lovely isle as those of a nation and not subject race and that the dream of the immortal Emmet, that Ireland shall some day take it's place among the nations of the earth, shall be fulfilled.

Frank A. Haggerty, said among other things:
 When the returns of the last cen- sus were given out, we of Hartford felt rather grieved. And I didn't think we were going to get over it very soon. But our mayor told us not to feel badly because New Haven was first. Bridgeport second, and Hartford third, for there's luck in odd numbers, says Rory O'More'
 This has been a very delightful evening for me. We may attend many banquets during the course of the year but at none of them can we find so delightfully."- mingled, History, poetry, music, joy and pathos as we find when Irishmen gather to cele- brate St. Patricks day.
 '' The Day We Celebrate' What a toast for man with Irish blood in his veins Would that I could do it justice. It is essentially a day of herories. And what land is so rich in memories as Ireland As we look back what thoughts come Hooking to mind We see at first the early set. clement Of Ireland. We hear the song of Innisfall as the explorers steered their bark toward the shores of the Emerald Isle. We see the boy whom We know and love as St. Pat rick, taken into captivity and led away to the land whose apostle he was destined to. become. We behold that scene wherein the shamrock, pe-

TEXT OF BILL WHICH WILL END
 ENGLISH STRIKE
Eng|and's Premier Introduces
 Minimum Wage Measure
Special from United Press.)

London, March '19-After careful inspection of the minimum wage scale prepared by the government and late today the general opinion of the members was that the measure was fatally defective. They declared that 1t would merely enable the English miners and operators to start opera tions again and not affect the Welsh and Scotch. The measure contains . no penal provision to compel it's en- forcement and does not compel the operators to open their mines or the miners to go back to work.
 It was the general impression this evening that the law would be passed and go into effect immediately but would solve the problem only in Eng land The situation in Wales and Scotland, it was believed, will re- main as 1t is and the strike there will continue.
 Premier Asquith explained the bill which was introduced in blank be- cause he had not been able to get it completed in time. He said that this legislation was resorted to only after it had been demonstrated that all hope of settlement of the strike and operators was gone.
 The bill, he explained, was intend- ed merely as a stop-gap, its life be- ing only for three years. He said it provided for a reasonable minimum wage and safeguaraed the operators against slackness on the part of the employees. The wages and safeguards were to be determined by district boards.
 The district boards are to be com posed of operators and miners in equal numbers with an independent chairman. They will decide just what the minimum wage scale shall be in each individual case and shall apply the law to fit the individ- ual needs.
 The miners who fail to comply with the provisions of the bill lose their right to the minimum wage agreement.
 Bonar Law, criticising the measure in the first speech in opposition, said that the remedy was very likely to prove much worse than the disease.
 Tn conclusion Bonar~ Law declared that the bill does not guarantee the end Of the strike, but merely extends an invitation to the other strikers to demand similar treatment.

exist and must be met There are in | the Orient now four hundred millions Of people in a state of anarchy and ! chaos. The same condition of affairs stands now at the threshold of our own nation. But our. problem is of | an economic rather than a political nature. We have developed here since l the Civil war, more resources, more
 wealth than any other people that we l know of.
 Because of the wonderful re- sources of our United States, we have a million people coming here every year and this is what brings about the social and economic crisis that we must face.
 We have Capital and Labor. We l have on the one hand the avaricious- ness of the capitalists and the desire 1 of the laboring classes. And our problem is how to reconcile these two elements. world wide in their inffu- ence. How to effect an equal distri- button of the product of mans labor. Various remedies have been offer ed by men who have studied the situation. But they have not looked carefully enough into the matter. The Catholic church has adopted as one of its fundamental principles that the lowliest of her priests is eligible to the highest office within her power to beStow, the chair of St. Peter.
 'That principle points to the key hstone in the edifice of our present structure of unrest. Power, supreme power should not be left in the hands of one, two or three men. The three branches of our government, execu- tive, Judicial and legislative, were created to prevent any one person from having autocratic power.
 ''To preserve order and prevent in- vasion are the principles underlying the constitution of the United States. And to preserve this desirable order in our country is our problem which can only be solved by the application of the ten Commandments to existing economic conditions.
 Gentlemen, this is what that won- derfu1 institution, the Catholic church has always seen. The Church has been preparing for the crisis that is to come by properly educating her youth and every Irishman who con- tributes to the support of the paro- chial schools, every Irishman who aids the Church in her noble task of educating the future generation along the right lines, is fulfilling in the best and noblest way possible, his obliga- tion as citizen and as a patriot

dayor Wilson said:
 'I don't want to be sacriligious, but l wish to quote a little text from Scripture and then to paraphrase it and apply it to this occasion. And l will not claim to quote it word for word lest some of you here tonight, boasting a greater familiarity with Scripture than myself, should contra dict me.
 The text I refer to runs something like this: A city founded on a hill, whose builder is God. And my para on a.rock, whose builders and makers are men That is what every city should be. That is one of the ends which you gentlemen have maintain- ed and most of the older of you have assisted in establishing.
 Men of your nationality have been since the beginning of history, found CTS and makers of cities. And it seems to me most fitting that you should honor the memory of the man who stands so high in the estimation of all who know his history, the man who founded the early Irish institu- tions, the man whose spirit has lived and descended through the ages, from father to son, and still lives in those of your nationality
 Where will you find any reference to any historical event but that you will find true and noble hearted son of old Erin fighting steadfastly for what is right? That has been the his- tory of the Irish in this country.
 Bridgeport is deeply indebted to the steadfastness of the Irish. Some of those who played a prominent part in the history Of our city, came from the other shore and some were born here of Irish parents. They have all co-operated for the good of their community.
 At the time of the Spanish-Amer- ican war a good old son of Erin was carrying a bod Of bricks up a lad der. It happened that one of the bricks became dislodged from it's place in the bod, and in it's fall struck a flagstaff from which was floating a Spanish flag.

 Yes was the quick retort, but of Irish descent
 Sons Of Ireland, whether Irish born or of Irish parentage, have become the backbone and sinew of every na- ton, of every city, of every commun- ity of whose interests they partake and whose cause they have adopted as their own.
 ''In conclusion I wish to- mention the names of few of the many who have contributed to the advancement of our own city, morally, intellectual ly. and commercially. I refer to such men as James H. O'Rourke Joseph D. Hartigan, Father Matthew Judge, and one other, Bernard Keating ST. whom I consider to have played the most prominent part in our city's poli- ties

Japan Opposition
 To Participating In
 Panama Exposition

Tokio, March 19.-The Japanese policy ttoward the United States, es- pecially it's offer to participate in the Panama exposition at San Francisco. was bitterly attacked, today, in the House of Representatives by Count Hattieri, one of the opposition lead CTS. He said that the Dillingham; bill, now before the American Congress, was an insult to the Japanese people of an t'insufferable character" and that for the government to promise to aid American enterprises with such a measure pending was contradictory to Japan's honor and interest. The bill referred to excludes from the United States laborers and artisans of races inimicable to the United States.
