instead OF being monopolized by
England. Today these harbors are
empty and idle solely because the
English policy is determined to re-
tain Ireland as a barren bulwark for
English aggrandizement, and the
unique geographical situation of this
island, far from being a benefit and
a safeguard to Europe and America,
is subjected to the purposes of Eng
lish policy of world domination.
Ireland today reasserts her historic
nationhood the more confidently
before the new world emerging from
the war because she believes in
freedom and justice as the funda-
mental principles of international
law; because she believes in frank
cooperation between peoples for
equal rights against vested privi-
leges. and ancient tyrannies: be-
cause permanent peace in Europe
can never be secured by perpetual
ing military domination for profit
of empire, but only by establishing
control of government in every land
upon basis of the free will of
free people, and the existing state
of war between Ireland and England
can never be ended until Ireland is
definitely evacuated by the armed
forces of England.

lar and deservedly so with the vot-
ers in the ranks. Gates Young, of
greensboro, and William B. O'Con-
nell. of Newport, are also candidates
for this office
1t can be seen from the above list
of candidates that the Democratic
party will be more ably represented
in the November election than the
Republicans with the Hert-Searcy
hand-picked ticket at Lexington.
The Republican leaders are already
busy apOlogizing to some of the dis
appointed ones, saying that they
had to make such selections for geo
graphical reasons. In other words,
no two good eligible men for office
could live in the same zone accord
ing to the machine logic The
1and-picked selections are not
meeting with popular favor of the
voters, and the Republican leaders
and press are having a busy time
trying to explain the machine meth
DDS and purposes. One other fea-
ture that is causing much worry is
the colored brother vote, the big
asset of the Republican party in
Kentucky. Just previous to the
convention at Lexington there was
another convention held that the
daily press did not tell Of and that
was the colored Republican conven-
ton, which adopted strong resolu-
tons asking if Williams Marley. the
Louisville colored man, was not go
ing to be nominated for the Legisla-
ture by his party. Warley's district
Is rs per cent. colored. and natural
ly Republican, and the Hert-Searcy
machine is busy working overtime
trying to convince the cOlOred broth
colored man on the ticket with
Morrow. The colored Republicans
fail to be convinced and the lead
ers of the race throughout the State
say emphatically that the party must
take Marley or defy the negro ele-
ment. Thus it can be seen that if
the Courier-Journal and Times were
bent on discussing rows and strife
in political parties the Marley case
in the Republican fold would give
them ample opportunity. The con-
Vention of the colored men at Lex
ngtOn was completely ignored by
the Bingham press and no word of
this stirring row has ever appear
in in either paper Marley was in
dorsed by the strongest negro body
in the State, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Color
ed People, which is composed of the
leading men of the colored race. and
they are out fatfooted in saying
hat the fight is not being made for
Marley personally, but for the. prin-
ciple of being recognized in the Re
publican ranks. Incidentally it
might be remarked that the BUSH
whacking tactics of the Bingham
press is receiving wide if not fav-
vorable comment, and protests are
coming from one end of the State
to the other from Democrats. call
ing on the Courier-JOurnal and
Times to state where do they stand.
All of the toadying to Hert. the big
Republican boss, and the sly help
given to Morrow is not unobserved
by the followers of Democracy, and
the suggestion made in the Times
this week for National Committee
man Haldeman to explain the sit
uation in Kentucky can be trans

THE COUNTY POMONA GRANGE.

The County Grange held one of its
most interesting meetings at Egg Har-
Dor last Saturday evening.
It was a special meeting, called by
the Master, VIM. H. Garwood. for the
initiation of forty new members, but
owing to the inclement weather only
twenty-five appeared to receive the
degrees.
The hall was most artistically deco

and presented a wonderful sight and
with Pomona, Mrs. VIM. H. Garwood,
and her court of honor of ten ladies,
members through the County, dressed
in white, made it an impressive initia-
ton. The candidates were led through
the mysteries of the degree by Wor-
thy Steward Henry Tapken and Lady
Steward Mrs. S. Y. Wilson.
At the close of the session the lad
les of Egg Harbor Grange served dain-
ty refreshments.
