DUBLIN POOR SUFFERING.

CATHOLICS DECLARE FEALTY TO
NATION.

Thousands of Catholics from Wash.
ington and it's vicinity, and from
points as far away as Baltimore, gath
cred around the Columbus Memorial
statue on the Union Station plaza on
Memorial Day, to give public express
sion to their patriotism.
Preceding the public demonstration
on the plaza, Bishop Shahan, Rector
of the Catholic University of America,
celebrated a pontifical military mass
at the beautiful Jesuit Church of St.
Aloysius. His Eminence Cardinal
Gibbons presided at the church cere-
monies, which were attended by men
high in official life, clergymen from
Washington and vicinity, and uni
formed military organizations.
A guard of honor escorted the Car
dinal from the parsonage to the
church. The Fourth Degree Knights
of Columbus of Washington held the

Of Ulster sent majority to the par
lament and voted for Home Rule.
This man Carson has been in the Eng
lish cabinet ever since. What for?
Why, of course, to keep up the fight
in three counties in Ireland, so when
the convention meets they won't all
agree, and then England will proclaim
to the world that they can't agree.
Nonsense!
When the immortal Washington,
with the gallant band of soldiers tray
eled in snow three feet deep, bare
footed, fought, bled and died and all
for the liberty we enjoy today, the
American people were not all united
or agreed at that time. France was
not all united and agreed when she
gained her republican form of govern
ment.
Whether or not England will sue
coed in raising a fight in the conven-
ton, the Irish people will have the
sympathy of all liberty loving people
the world over. Why does not Eng
land take her hundred thousand pet
soldiers from Ireland, who seem only
to terrify old men and women, and
help the gallant soldiers of France to
do some fighting.
Many seemingly friends of England
have written me saying that if Ire
land was free, Germany would imme-
diately capture her. My only reply
to that is that if England had not sue
ceeded in getting France, Italy and
Russia to join her, it would not have
been hard to tell who would have cap
tured England.
Mr.. Editor, in view of the above few
facts, hurriedly written, cannot agree
with your editorial referred to. How.
ever, in my humble judgment, the only
excuse 1 can form for a great editor
of a great American newspaper, in
writing such an editorial, is the fact
that they are not unlike many other
educated Americans, reading Irish his.
tory through English glasses. There
will never be peace between Ireland
and England until she withdraws her
army from Ireland.

fact that all the Episcopalians, minis

ANSWER TO PIONEER PRESS.

l was not little surprised on read
ing your editorial on Home Rule to
Ireland, i'm the Pioneer Press of 2Sth
of May. You say ireland has had
the sympathy of the liberal people of
the world, but if the Irish themselves
fail to settle their own problems, they
cannot appeal to outside sentiment
with the same force as heretofore"
You also say, "of course there are
some difficulties in the way of any
argument. The Obstetrics are stub
bornly determined not to submit to
southern Irish domination, but if the
attempt fails, that is if the Irish them
selves fail to agree, responsibility
hardly can be placed upon England
and Irishmen will not be justified in
appealing to outside sentiment on the
ground that their country is another
Poland. It is distinctly up to them
to set their own house i'm order, and
to do this they must abandon fault
finding with others and adopt con-
structive measures"
In reply to the above quotation, 1
have no hesitation in placing my views
before the public in crude form. Ire
land, the smallest island in Europe, is
not half the size Of the state of Min
nesota and is out in the Atlantic ocean,
sixty miles from England.
She maintained her independence
for twenty-five years. In the twelfth
century they were invaded by the Eng
lish, who had to content themselves
with one coast for four hundred years.
In the fifteenth century, the Irish had
won back by the sword, nearly all the
territory at first seized by the invad-
ers. In 1891, after continuous war
of five hundred years, the English dis
Ireland, and they went to Europe and
purchased the conquering of that coun-
try under an able leader to invade
Ireland. The Irish having lost one
half their army, came to the resolu-
ton of captivating with the invaders,
by a big solemn treaty, in the pres
ence of both armies, on the battle field
of Limerick. Before that patriotic
city would agree to treaty they had
lost one-half of their men and the
other half were nearly starved. The
noble women had rushed to breach in
the wall and drove the English and
their foreign invaders outside the
walls. Then and not till then did
King William and Queen Mary agree to
sign the treaty, they exclaiming that
such a people could not be conquered.
In that treaty the Irish were granted
all they had been fighting for. 1mme-
diately after this treaty, the Irish
leader, the immortal Sarchfield, went
to France with his Irish brigade and
at the battle of Fontenoy defeated the
whole British army and saved the
honor of France. The English govern
ment not only robbed, murdered and
starved Ireland and then followed us
to free America with their powerful
press and endeavored to blacken our
character.
Three years ago after fight Of
thirty years, the English parliament
passed the Home Rule bill by large
majority and the king signed it. Then
came the notorious titled Carson, the
government furnishing arms to the
Obstetrics to shoot down and destroy
homes and property of law-abiding
citizens. Remember that the province

The Virgin.
(1821)

Mother whose virgin bosom was uncrost
With the least shade of thought to sin allied,
Woman! above all women gorifed,
Our tainted natures solitary boast.
Purer than foam on central ocean tossed;
Brighter than eastern skies at daybreak strewn
With fancied roses, than the unblemished moon
Before her wane begins on heavens blue coast;
Thy Image falls to earth Yet some I
Not unforgiven, the suppliant knee might bend
AS to a visible Power, in which did blend
All that was mixed and reconciled in Thee
OF mothers love with maiden purity,
OF high with low, celestial with terrene!

WHEN IRELAND's DREAM COMES
TRUE.
BY Denis A. Mccarthy,

BY Denis A. Mccarthy.
When Ireland's age-long dream comes
true,
When, after all the years
She's worn the myrtle and the rue,
God wipes away her tears
The winged word Of joy will speed
Ger oceans broad and blue,
And hearts around the world take
heed,
When Ireland's dream comes true
Yes, all around the world will run
The sympathetic spark,
The Frank, the Teuton and the Hun
The thrilling word will mark;
For, whose hates unrighteous laws,
Whate'er his race or hue,
Must wish success to Irelands cause.
And hail her dream come true.
And we, whose vital stream flows
straight
From 1reland's tender heart,
Will flout, that day, the frowning Fate
That bids us walk apart;
And feel for that dear mother-breast
From which our lives we drew
A richer joy than all the rest,
When Irelands dream comes true.
When Ireland's dream comes true at
last,
God grant she still may hold
In loving mem'ry, firm and fast,
Her exiled sons of old;
Fond, faithful hearts who scorned to
hide
The old love in the new
Who toiled for Ireland, but who died
Ere yet her dream came true.
