How many are there who stop to
consider the meaning of the green
that is Worn on st. Patrick's Day?
How many realize the meaning of the
day for Ireland? Green is the national
color OF Ireland and it probably would
be the national color if st. Patrick
had never used the shamrock to eX-
plain the mystery Of the Trinity.
Wearing the green, therefore, means
that the wearer either claims Irish
lineage OF has kindly feeling for the
Irish race. But for most Irishmen it
means much more. The legend that
associates the three-leaved shamrock
with the teaching of st. Patrick is
one that is beautiful and so easily
conceived as certainty, that for the
wearer Of the shamrock, or the green,
it should suggest the religion of Ire
land as well as the country itself.

ST. PArRlck's DAY.

The observance of St. Patricll's Day
is matter that should receive seri-
Gus consideration by every Irishman.
1t is day that means much for the
Irish race and everything for the re-
ligion of Ireland.
Not by indulging in rcvclry or buff
fooncry should the, day be passed. Not
by caricaturing the Irish race in vul-
gar ways should it be spent. st. Pat
rlck's Day is the comnemoration Of
the death OF man who lubored and
suffered and prayed, who bore rebukes
and risked death to make Ireland
Catholic. -
In vain attempts at being witty
there are those who would make use
OF that sacred anniversary to carica-
lure the Irish race, to hold up the pig
and the pipe and the whisScy flask as
the emblem of the Irish people. What

the principles of ethics. Patrick was
a saint who lived life of sclf-sacri
nee That the pagan people of ireland
might have the blessings of Christian
itN. He worked not for himself, but
for the glory of God and the saliva,
ton of souls. He was not q warrior.
He carried no weapon but the cross.
With this alone he conquered ireland
without drawing a drop of blood. He
died on March IT, The day is not his
birthday, as so many are inclined to
think The manl,,I,'who would carica-
ture him on the day his death is COM

irishmen might be found on their best

pride in the patron saint of their race
they should conduct themselves as
they would conduct themselves il the

OUR VALEDICTORY

This is the last issue of The Irish
Standard under the present manage
ment. After twenty-seven years Of
labor in this field We are about to
transfer the pen to other hands, not
without a feeling akin to that expert
enced in the loss of a tried and true
friend. From this day there will be
Il certain vacancy, a certain some
thing wanting to us.
In this, our farewell message to our
readers, we cannot resist the tempta-
ton to become reminiscent and to tell
as briefly as we may Of our long
years of labor in Irish journalism.
The first issue of this paper ap-
peared Nov. Z, 1885. 1t was estab-
lished by William Kilday, Benjamin
McNally and William A. Malone, all
Of whom We're practical printers. At
that time Minneapolis was a strug-
Cling city in a frontier country conf
pared with what it is today. 1t num-
bered among its population fair per-
centage Of Irishmen fresh from their
oppressed country, many of them

thusiastic in the cause of Ireland. 1t
was their spirit that suggested and
finally established and sustained this
paper. That first year looked like a
fateful year for Home Rule. Parnell
was making his gallant fight; all
looked bright for the early triumph
Of the cause. The spirit that was
stirring Ireland from end to end pene-
trated to America, to Minneapolis and
lrishmen here were glad to give every
support in their power to the estab-
lishment of a paper that would tell
the story Of the struggle and help it
as it might in this distant land.
But those who began the work soon
found it unsuited to their tastes.
Edward O'Brien, the present editor,
and George Anderson entered the field
and took over the interests of Mr..
Malone before the paper had fairly
begun. Before two months had pass

the present editor and within four
months from the time the first issue

Mr.. Anderson disposed of his share in
the partnership and Edward O'Brien
and his brother John ID. O'Brien, who
became business manager, We're the

During the first six months of it's
