fired the soul of Edmund Burke, the
greatest orator of modern times and
the mightiest statesman of his age. It
was that blood that warmed the hearts

Character of the Celt

The greatness and glory of a peo-
pie do not depend entirely upon ma.
tional achievement, says v. A. Par
ish, in the Notre Dame Scholastic.
There is a difference between being
great as a people and being great as
a nation. The Greeks won their re-
nown principally as people, while
of the Romans we may say that their
chief glory lies in what they have
achieved as a nation. The glory of
Ireland lies in what its people have
accomplished. The Irish are remark
able, because for every walk of life,
for every field of human affairs, they
have produced men of the highest
type, men of extraordinary ability. In
war, turning the tide of battle; in
peace, strengthening the councils of
nations; in the realms of the aesthet-
tc, adding to the riches of literature
and art; in the busy world, turning
the wheels of commerce and moving
the machinery Of industry; in fact,
in every sphere of human activity,
may be found the sons of the Irish
race. They are remarkable, not only
because Of what they have accom-
plished, but also because of the condi-
tions under which they have labored
the oppression of political institutions
which fate seems to have destined for
them to suffer. In short, this is the
race with which Nature has been most
prodtgal, endowing it with a variety
of characteristics, with most remark.
able versatility, and lavishing upon it's
country her choicest gifts, making it
a most congenial home for man. It
is, at the same time, a race that has
met with numberless Universities, a
race that has had to contend with in
Vulnerable difficulties. Nevertheless,
it has borne those difficulties nobly,
and it has distinguished itself in war
and in peace, in the affairs of govern.
ments, in the pursuits of industry and
commerce, and in the world Of liter
ature and art. There is one charac-
teristic in particular inherent in the
mental makeup of this wonderful
race that has saved them from such
fate-they can always see some rays
of the star of hope even through the
darkest cloud of adversely. Hospital
ity, too. is q characteristic predomi-
nant to a fault. Their love for their
family is equalled only by their pa
triotism. One element of their nature
which, in some instances, is a failing,
is their excessive love of warfare. In
battle there is none more fearless. In
fact, their impetuous bravery often
causes them to rush into dangers
which discretion should cause them to
shun. No people can boast of an equal
chastity among it's women. The Irish
have in their breasts love of liberty
and justice which nothing can eradi-
cate. Upon no people have more Sc

these counties submit to this? II
they will, they need not strain at
the gnat if prepared to swallow the
camel. Those who favor this form of
amendment will not call it settle
ment-will doubtless explain their
views. But think you will find that
when the issue is knit the Irish mem
bers of Parliament will resist the par.
tition Of Ireland in any shape or form.
They will deny the right of any man
to cut four Irish counties out of Ire
land, and if you tell me that,it is i'm
possible to reach a solution of the ques.
ton by any other means, then I must
say in reply that no Irish Protestant
leader has ever said that he will con.
sent to cut himself out of Ireland and
cease to be an Irishman.. You may
say that this is mere sentiment. Yes,
it is sentiment, but sentiment has ever
been potent factor in human affairs.
And added to this objection there are
administrative difficulties which, in my
opinion are insoluble."
The fact is that, except for tactical
or wrecking purposes, the exclusion
of Ulster, or any part of it, has no
supporters in any party.
On this question of exclusion, the at
titude of the Ulster Liberals is one of
vehement, even fierce, opposition. But
1t is, at the same time, q reasoned and
patriotic opposition. as is evident from
the following, which is taken from the
Ulster Guardian" of January 10th:
TO put our position in nutshell,
we would rather see the powers of the
new Irish Parliament circumscribed
even more than they are than that
1t should lose an inch of the national
territory over which it is to rule. An
Irish Parliament, however limited,
which represents all Ireland, will justi-
fy an increase of its powers by the
spirit of national feeling and unity
the cooperation of Irishmen of every
creed is certain to create. An Irish
Parliament, however extensive it's
powers, which represents only three
fourths of Ireland, will not even justify
It's own existence in face of the new
wedge that will be driven between
North and South and which is bound
to intensity the bitternesses and ami
mosities that already exist. Senti-
ment rebels against partition; fore.
sight sees the fresh evils it will give
rise to; common sense objects to its
impracticability. ireland must and
shall remain undivided. No Home
Ruler will consider home Rule on any

An Echo Of Wick.
During the Wick election, the Rev.
8. Reid, Presbyterian minister from
the County Antrim, was one Of the
speakers on behalf of the Unionist
candidate and made certain charges of
intolerance against the Catholics of
a certain village where he had been
ministering. The ulster Guardian
demanded the name of the village, but
no answer has come as yet from Mr..
Reid. It appears, however, that Mr..
Reid was for some time minister at
Cushendall, in the Glens of Antrim,
where the people are mostly Catholics,
a kindly, warm-hearted, peace-loving,
and inofensive people, who have sur.
vived plantation and persecution. and
of whom nobody has a bad word to
say. Mr.. st. Clair Mulholland Dobbs,
of Cushendall, a Protestant, and q
Deputy.Lieutenant for County Antrim,
has written to the "Guardian" as fol.
lows:
"A good deal of feeling has been
aroused amongst our Roman Catholic
neighbors round Cushendall by certain
remarks said to have been made by
Rev. 8. Reid in Scotland, which are
supposed to refer to this district. In

specific charges Of intolerance, and in

were the Irish people more united or

since Parliament rose, similar meet.
ings have been held all over ireland,
and the keynote of them all has been
loyalty to and trust in the Irish leader
and the Irish Party. Concurrently
with these meetings, subscriptions
have been pouring in for the Home
Rule Fund, which now passes all rec.
ords. The Irish people have been
watching every move in the political
game with the closest interest. They
have seen the failure of the Unionist
campaign in Great Britain, and have
shown in the most practical way pos
sible their appreciation Of the success
Of the work done by the Irish Party
throughout the length and breadth OF
England, Scotland, and Wales. Every
attempt by either Unionism or Faction
ism to turn them aside from their
fixed purpose and policy, has miser
ably failed. Their discipline has
been no less remarkable than their
unity. They have exhibited in every
way the spirit Of nation worthy and
determined to be free. And before the
year has run it's course, they will
reap their reward in the passage Of
the Home Rule Bill into law.
