just what occurred in Dublin and
vicinity during the past two or
three weeks.
The rebellion failed in one way.
Some of the leaders of the revolt
have already been executed and it
is likely that several more will suf-
fer a martyrs death before the
wrath of England is appeased. Let
us remember that we are not in
possession of the full particulars
and refrain from forming or ex-
pressing any hasty opinions as to
the advisability and management
of the undertaking, and above all
let us glory in the fact that Ireland
still has men of the courage OF
their convictions.

men, unwilling to fight for England,
realized that their only protection lay
In maintaining the Irish volunteers as
an efficient fighting force. The gov
eminent, yielding to the Irish volun-
teers, as it had previously yielded to
the Ulster volunteers, excluded Ire
land, temporarily at least, from the
operation Of the CONSUMPTION law, but
at the same time it resolved that the
leaders of the volunteers must be de-
ported or imprisoned and the volun-
teers themselves disarmed.
Although the Irish rebellion has
been described in the press dispatches
as the work of the Sim Fein party,
1t is noteworthy that not one of the
leaders prominently mentioned ever
belonged to that party. Rather it
would be more correct to say that the
members of the Sim Fein party, of
the Gaelic League, and of the ad-
vanced wing of Redmond's own party,
had all combined in the first instance
In answer to the Ulster volunteers,
then, for the purpose of resisting con-
scription, and finally to make a des-
perate effort to strike for Irish indie
pendence, rather than permit their
forces to be disbanded. The result of
their efforts is now IL matter of his
tory, and only history can tell what
the ultimate consequences will prove
to be.

THE MEN WHO DIED FOR
IRELAND.

Canon Sheehan's last book,
The Graves of Kilmorna," is one
long indictment of the Parliament
tary Party for its Generalization
of Ireland. The REBELS" even
when they lead forlorn hopes, are
to Father Sheehan the salt of the
earth. Speaking through his hero
he says:
"You and I will be shot. Our
bodies will lie stretched out on the
Irish heather; our blood will have
soaked back into our mothers
breast. But the very wretches
that handled Holloway's brides
last week and saturated them
selves with filthy liquor, will take

over them, and carry them down

THE AFTERMATH OF THE
REBELLION,

Sir Roger Easement, Patrick
Pierce and others, have been Sc
verely criticized, not to say SLAM
dered and blasphemed since the
failure, as it has been called, of
the recent revolt in Ireland. They
have been branded as madmen,
lunatics and maniacs by the press
of this country. Such is the lot
of men who hazard all. We have
received many conflicting reports
as to the details of the recent
trouble and at the present time it
is impossible for us to know just
what is occurring in Ireland. The
dispatches have all passed through
the hands of the English censor
and are necessarily garbled. We
have only received such news as
England wants us to have, we
have only heard one side of the
question, and it is doubtful if we
will be able to receive authentic
information as to the happenings
in the Motherland while the war
lasts. 1t will probably be months,
maybe years, before we will know

upon by the powers that be" as
a logical running mate for Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t is pointed out
that Roger comes from the coun-
try of Irish and German Ameri-
cans, Illinois, and that he is pos
sessed of the necessary where
withal, a very vital requisite of a
vice-presidential candidate, by the
way. Mr.. Sullivan refuses to con-
firm the report but admits that
he had some correspondence on
the subject. He declines to men
ton the name of the correspon-
dent or correspondents, but we
take it for granted that said cor
respondence must have been with
some loyal unhyphenated-Ameri-
can. The administration will be
found hobnobbing with the n.y.
phenated-American from now un-
til the November election.

forms and keep them as relics for
their children. And, in after
years, Irishmen will come from
over the seas and find out where
Cogan and where Halpin fell, and
carry away with them to Mexico
or Australia a bit of the heather
which our dead bodies pressed
and the political degradation of
the people, which we shall have
preached against with Our gaping
wounds, will shame the nation in
to at least paroxysm of patriot
ism once more"
So much for the ennobling ac-
ton of a patriotic death. So it
was in '67. So it will be now at
the very worst that may befall.
But it is for us to see that the
best and not the worst must hap
pen. Men of Irish blood in this
free republic, the men of your race
in Ireland have faced undaunted
the full power of England. Are
you going to back down before
her Tory allies here and prove
false to the republic, as we'll as
abandon your brethren at home?
Surely we may answer for you,
No! Says the Irish World.

WHO FEARS TO SPEAK OF
NlNETY-EIGHT?
BY John kelIs Inuram.

BY John keIIs Ingram.
Who fears to speak of Ninety Eight?
Who bushes at the name?
When towards mock the patriots fate
Who hangs his head for shame?
He's all knave or half slave
Who sights his country thus;
But true man like you, man,
Will fill your glass with us.
We drink the memory of the brave,
The faithful and the few
Some lie far of beyond the wave,
Some sleep in Ireland, too;
All, all, are gone-but still lives on
The fame of those who died;
All true men, like you, men
Remember them with pride.
Some on the shores of distant lands,
Their weary hearts have laid,
And by the strangers needless hands
Their lonely graves were made;
But though their clay be far away,
Beyond the Atlantic foam,
In true men, like you, men,
Their spirits still at home,
The dust of some is Irish earth;
Among their own they rest;
And the same land that gave them
birth,
Has caught them to her breast;
And we will pray that from their clay
Full many race may start.

Seat Shifting Forecast.
Nothing is known as to how the
Irish vacancies will be filed and it is
not unlikely that there may be some
shuffling of cabinet seats as result
of the resignation of Mr.. Birrell, as
chief secretary of ireland, and the
return of Winston Spencer Churchill
to politics.
The Nationalists at an adjourned
meeting adopted a series of import.
ant resolutions, including strong ex.
preston of opinion that continued
executions would cause bitterness and

Ing no sympathy with the insurrectton
and that in the interests of the EN-.

ANOTHER IRISH MARTYR.

1t was Chas. Garvin Duffy who
many years ago declared that
"even Englishmen of genius
were attracted and fascinated by
the Irish struggle" Macaulay's
first ballad had for it's subject
"Celtic Resistance" Southey sang
in sympathetic strain of Rob-
ert Emmett. Bulwer-Lytton had
for his first hero in song the name
of O'Neill. 1t was neither strange
nor unusual that the Irish gentle
man, Patrick Pierce, Provisional
President of the Irish Republic,
should choose to cast his life and
lot with the cause of Irish Free
dom. A man with a high sense of
justice, hatred of oppression, an
enthusiast in the study of Celtic
language and Celtic lore, his mind
was stepped in Irish traditions.
He established and conducted for
many years school for Irish boys
in a mansion close to the home
where once lived Sarah Curran,
the sweetheart of Robert Emmett.
To the young boys in his charge
he spoke of Irish oppression and
the gloom of Irish history. He
contrasted the ancient glory of
Ireland with the Infamous penal
statutes. 1t is in no way surpris-
ing that this Irish school-master,
editor, poet, lawyer, devout Cath
Ole and worshiper of Irish heroes
should exemplify the strength of
his faith and his belief that Ire
land was entitled to more than a
pigeon-holed Home Rule Bill.
Padraic Pierce neither sought
nor expected clemency when TAX
en- prisoner. He issued a plea to
his followers to surrender in order
that the slaughter of his outnum-
bered followers might be averted.
He, himself, knew the fate that
awaited him but little dreamed
that wholesale executions, with
out trial, would follow or that
wholesale arrests would be made
without charges being preferred.
His summary execution has but
added fuel to the flame and helped
to promote the cause which Pad
raic Pierce thought was worth
the life of an Irishman.

try. Robert E. Ford, editor of the

THE shooting of Pearse, provisional
president of the Irish Republic, and
his associates will serve only to make
the war between Ireland and England
more bitter.
The Irish revolution is being con-
Quoted according to the rules of civil
lized warfare. Pearse was a prisoner
of war and should have been treated
as such. To shoot him down was a
piece of base brutality and will no
doubt cause reprisals by the people
of Ireland.
"Pearse, like Washington, represent
ed a people throwing off the yoke of
England. Washington would have
been shot down like Pearse had he
fallen into the hands of the English"

O'Leary said he had conferred with

EXECUTIONS UP AGAIN.

executions and arrests in Ireland
were again discussed in the house of
commons Wednesday in the form of
questions to Premier Asquith.
William O'Brien, nationalist mem.
Der for the City of Cork, asked wheth.
er the premier was aware that hun.
dreds OF men from Cork and Tipperary
had been arrested without any charge
being stated and were confined in the
Cork jail. where they were treated
with the utmost harshness. He also
asked whether steps would be taken
to allay the universal public indigna.
ton at the reign of terror which had
been established.
The Dublin military executions are
becoming an atrocity," says the Man
chester Guardian, supporting the ap-
peal for clemency for the Irish pat
riots.
The trial of Sir Roger Easement,
for high treason, will be public. The
first hearing was in Bow street police
court Thursday, when formal charge
will be made before a police magis-
trate. The real trial will be held later
before a panel of the judges of the
high court of justice and a jury. It
is understood that Sir Roger intends
to conduct his own defense.
Harcourt Declines Post.
Lewis Harcourt has declined to sue
coed Augustine Birrell as chief secre.
tary for Ireland, giving ill-health as
his reason.
The choice for Birrelrs successor
is now believed to rest among Harold
Tenant, parliamentary under-secre-
tary of war; Colonel Sir Mark Syckes,
member of parliament for Hull, and
Brigadier General John Edward Der.
nard Seely, former minister of war.
The casualties in Dublin were 1924
killed, 1888 wounded and missing, a
total of 521 among British troops and
the Royal Irish constabulary.
Irish politics are again in the fore
ground as a result of the recent rising
and consequent conveyance of senti-
ment between John Redmond, the ma
tionalist leader, and Sir Edward Car
son, the Ulster leader.
The conference of these men on the
disarmament question and the debate
In the house of commons on the pos
sibility of bringing Ireland within the
purview of the CONSUMPTION bill have
given this matter still greater impor-
lance.
During the committee stage of the
military service bill in the house of
commons, Sir John Brownlee Ions
dale, of the Irish unionist party, moved
that Ireland should be included in the
operation of compulsion.

THE DEAD WHO DIED FOR
IRELAND,

John Boyle o'ReilIy.
The dead who died for Ireland! Oh,
these are living words,
To nerve the hearts Of patriots-to
steel avenging swords
They thrill the soul when spoken, and
lowly bends the head,
With reverence for the memories Of
all our martyred dead.
The dead who died for lreland-the
noble ones-the best,
Who gave their lives for Motherland;
who poured upon her breast,
In freedoms cause, the blood she gave
who, with their dying breath,
Sent prayers to God to heal her woes
then sealed their love in death.
The dead who died for Ireland! How
hallowed are their graves!
With all the memories fresh and
green, oh! how could we be
slaves?
How could we patient clang the chain?
How could we fawn and bow?
How could we crouch like mongrels
meath the keepers frowning
brow?
Ye dare not, men of Ireland. Ye dare
not thus disgrace
The dead who died for Ireland!-the
guardians Of your race.
Twas the blacklist sin to bear the
yoke, twas crime to kiss the rod
Their very blood would rise and cry
for vengeance up to God.
The dead who died for Ireland! All,
what sea of woes.
What depths of foul oppression do
those sacred words disclose;
On the field and the scaffold, and
wherever men could die,
They gave their priceless lives with
out murmur or sigh.
The dead who died for Ireland! Oh.
that they were still alive!
They would trample on the fetters-
they would break tn accursed
gyve!
They would fight for home and altar;
they would fight for name and
race.
But they're dead; they died for Ire
land-who, oh! who will fill their
place?
Be proud, We men of Ireland! Be
proud Of those who died;
Never men DER all the earth had
greater, nobler cause for pride.
Hope and strive and league for free
dom, and again the souls will rise
OF the dead who died for Ireland to
cheer you to the prize.

ONE LAW FOR ORANCEMFN:; D.

serious interference. The right to or

parties. But when Tin December,
