I had Intended to speak toou of Ireland nnd homo rule. On the French side of the Cnglish channel is the little seaboard town of Calais For half n contuiyor moro it \viBtho bloody bone of contention In the great wars between Diglnnd and franco The garrison was Dually surrendered by ono of the Phintageiiot queens When she wns dvlnir she said to the attendants about her thu if her hcatt was dissected "Calais" would bo found written upon It However this may hiuo been , 1 h.i\o an idea that If the scalpel weic to open the heart of the humblest Irishman who treads the earth , homo tulo for h eland would be found BOUIO- where very near the core. Wo nro told the old Caithagonian Hatnll- carswoio his non Hanmbil upon the altar of his countiy to eternal enmity with Koine. In the case of the Irish father such an oath would bo altogether unnecessary. Hatred for England tuns m the Irish blood whether It bo beneath the equator , under the southern cross , in the frozen solitude of the noi th or hcto 'J ho Irishman , to the latest generation , will curse the govcinment of England ; ho will oppose Its policy and licht against its power whciover the slimed trark of the ser pent -drill ctoss the path of his exiled wanderings. 1 would not , however , luvo vou misunder stand mo. Irol nut's light Is not now , nnd never has been , with the plain people of Hngland It Is with thu simo pilviloged clisscs , the sunn landlord aiistociats , the descendants of the same torlos who would have hung George Washington and John Adams , Thoiins Jefferson nnd Patrick Henry with as iittlo compunction as they murdcicd Kobert Knnnot and the maitirs of Manchester. So fat as the nmrlishpeoploaiocoiicornod , why , wo all Irnou- they will sttiko hands to- moirow with the Irish people ; would hail with cheers the breaking ilnwn of the day when , as John IJoylo O'Hellly puts It : "I'lirnpn's thlrtncn inon in'bles in ly bo stables \\ltliiinln bairlt'i nnd without a thninu , Oni ) grand federation Ilku our own. " If the people of England , themselves too long the footstool of a wornout , tyrant aris tocracy if they would onlv advance under the Icndctshlpof another Hampdeii to the last Kmmymedo in their history ; if , instead of putting tlio English scepter m the llber- tlno hand of her successor , they would Just Itick the bauble of queen's ciown Into tbo Thames ; if some line morning in the near future they would gatherat llalmoral castle , ch.intro It into an Knglish white house , with some Gladstone in the piesldentlal chair , Ireland and England would soon foiirol the tears , the blood , thu bittorncss of the past Fontenoy and the Hoyno water would fade upon the paero of history. No longer heiod- itary onoimes , the two ppoplo might strike hands and go forward , heart bound , like our own Massachusetts and South Carolina , to the realization of n splendid common ( lestiny.

AnJ who can blame them ? The place to study best the subject of homo < rulu is nt the famine pits of Sligo Stand thorn , and while you contemplate you will sco "Homo Uulo for Ironnd" written in letters nf blood. Iok toward the docka of Ireland in the days of nor oxllo ; in the dnys ofw the "Crow-bar llrlgado , " when the awful wail of her family partings was answered with "Stool to thu bosom nnd llauio to the roof " Listen , and \ou will hoar In the great , sad , mlseraro , booming from tlio Atlantic , "Homo Hulo for Ireland " When wo rolled upon these things , when wo think upon the railroad and canal beds of America , upon nil the menial occupations whore Irish mon nnd Irish women have been condemned uvun in this our own fair laud to bo the huwcis of wood and the drawers of water , solely because of the tvtauny that robbed tholr country of her industries , her trades , her commerce , nnd her manufac tories reflecting upon this , I say , Ireland's wrongs appeal like antrols' trumpet tongues against the deep damnation of landlord cruelty that , foulest blot upon God's cication.

With it Ireland will bo content ; with it the woild will see her take cato of tier own future. You know what "Mickoy Fteo" sav a in the story about his father gottlng out of limbo Well , with homo iuloit will bo but a short tomorrow until Ii eland leaves behind forever - over the hull of English tyranny. She will soon stand vvhcro'tho "glass grows gtoou , " above the gra\cs of English landlordism. Threatening Hunger * . I have sild that ono of the dangers thro.UtJtiing the success of homo rule Is dis union in the ranks of lilsh leadership. If there bo ono word in the language that should now be bui nod in characters of llro upon the Irish honrt , that word 1s "Union " Disunion stands the grim accuser of every failure in the past. The set pent gliding his slimy way Into Paradise was not moro infamously wily than has been the cunnlnc of English statesmanship in overv ago divid ing the councils of Irish leadership I am not of these who would unfairly ex aggerate ; who would heap Oss \ on Polion in this matter. I leave it for l ngllsh toiics and Orancemen to boast that Irishmen can not bo trusted to govuin themselves. 1 do not beltuvo it. Ireland is not without a parallel , either , for tlio disunion in the ranks of her leader ship today. Our ow n American history has a luvolutioii'iiy story of disunion plots and cabals that daikoncd nround Washington iu the stei nest hour of our own grcit stiugglo lor homo itilo. Other instances theio aio Just ns sinking. But there IB no ono hero but oursohes today. This , therefore. Is not A time for palliation or excuse Disunion now among lush leaders Is a blot upon the patuotlsm of cither side. A crime against the people of Ireland. An unpaidonablo in- suit to the fi lends of homo rule every whom.

" Ireland today Is loaning the hancst of the seed sown in the blood of the bravo Had theto been no O'Mihonoys , no Martins , no Loobys , to stand in Knglish docks , Parncll had never ascended the Irish tribune. The only regret , if regret theio bo , is that the mon ol other days were not weaponed with the urath with which the nineteenth cen tury can malt the arm of a sluvo to strike a tyrant. An Intnllrctu/il / Hnttto. But Ireland's ' present struggle Is ono of n diflcicnt kind. It is tlio intellectual grapple of the spirits of light and right against the dragon of might. This , too , In an ago when thopouor of the world's public opinion is spiking the cannon of standing armlos. The ilnal 3UCOCI ) of homo rule moans a now loaf in the \oltimo of civilization. You may differ with tno as to the conclu sion. But you know ' "Tin with our Judgments , M our watches ; "Nonu RU just allUu , yet uach believes hli own. " When I say , therefore , that Ireland of today U not the Ireland of 'US ' , jou will trot Uoarur perhaps my meaning if I suggest that Iro- Innd has now moro of the sublimity of self- restraint , loss of the dush of Impulse. After all fortitude is nobler than courage. Calculating coolness delivers harder blows than Ill-advised desperation. Think A moment. Was the heroism that stonily died without tiring a shot amid the torriilo caiinonado that hurtled on Little Itound Top , was it surpassed by tha headlong charge that followed Pick- ott and hla 10,000 Incarnate bat tle Jlonds , as they swept up the bl.u.ing slopes of Coiuptory Height ? Wash ington and his aim } shivering in rags UDOII the wintry plilns of Valley Forgo aio grander In the gloom after Monmotith's de feat than that satoe aimyiii the bla/o of Yorktown and Saratoga Marshal McDon ald crossing the Tyrole'in Alps , battling the avnlancho of the Splugon , is greater than McDonald piercing Ui Austilan center on the tcrrilio Hold of W.igiam. Noy , us the roar guard of tliu nitroit from Moscow , firing and spiking thoiast gun at the pass igo of the Neinlon , is a sublimor gpecluclo than the ' lh\nosl of tho"lJfavo" sucking death in thu ncnziod tm.itojucnt of Waterloo's bloody twilight. Ireland curbing her hot blood under the rosoniLos of Knglish chlllzu- tion , answering dospcr.ilion-eondlng coercion \\itlipasshobut heroin aggression ; lioland calmly pleading thpjjustleo of her great cause in the foiuin ol man , presents an ex ample of nntloiml dlsoltUIno , of luvol-lio ided shrewdness that has forced thu respect and fear of I'ngl.inil not lesu than It has won thu admiration , thu applause of Ireland' ' * btauuchost ally the American people , What shall I say of that other obstacle still threatening to bar the way to IrUh homo rule thu Orangemen of Ulster ? I dislike to uvon think upon mis subject of OraiiRoIsni. The bitterness of creed is such a foul thing , A moral imciobo that would impungo upon and taint the very air of heaven iUoir. Haw is it that its spirit can live In thu light of today ) Is It because , ii : the economy of nature , tbo maggot must llvo as well as the rose must die ? Wo Imd hoped the putrid grave of rollslous bigotry was to remalu foiovur undisturbed under the night shade of the burled savagery of the past.

Americans who might possibly mistake the reason for the thoroughbied Irish man's hatred of the mongrel , I wll answer the question , who is the Orangeman ? He is the same scoundrel to day he was when he sold his country rights hat ho might contluuo to persecute his irothot's cieed. The same wretch with whom Piotostant Giattan , Protestant Cm- net and Protestant John Mitchell pleaded , vith , hut pleaded in vain for their poor old 'ated country. As some ch iractor says in ono of Shako- jpoato's pla > s : "God made him ( as ho did .hodovilj . therefore lot him pass fern man. " There is a celebrated piinting in the gal- cry of tlio Louvre It is said that visitois , catching at a single glance the full moaning of the great canvas , Instinctively shudder * nd tuin away in terror. The piinting rep resents , " L'ho Traitor to His Country. " The artist should have lived in Ulster , from whoso infamy tbo wet Id turns nwav horri fied. The countenance of a Goslor , n Qrouchoy , or n Benedict Arnold may DO soon any day now in the streets of Belfast or Dorry. The leopatd cannot change his spots. The Orangeman is thn same today as when Moore wioto upon his brow the awful ourso of tno fito v.oishlpcr : Oh , fora toni ? o to curio the sla\o , Whoso tro.iHun , Hko a deadly bluht ; , Comes o'er the councils of the bravo , And blasts them In tholr hour of might. May life's unblostcnp for him lie drncK d with troarhxry to thn brim , Anil when from earth his spirit lllos , JiiHt pronhot , lot the ilamnud one dwell Full In the Might of I'.midKo , Iloholdlng heaven , mid fouling hell , Denting : tlio Drum , But why nully the lip or blister the tongue in calling the lilsh Judas Iscariot harsh names , After all ho is n harmless factor nt present in the light. Tiuo ho has undo much bluster and a groit doil of nolso lately. But ho did tlio anne hcfoio and scared no ono but himself. The walls of Jericho long ago didn't fall when assaulted with tin herns and the nolso of timbrals.

Why might Ire land not succeed if she tried some such experiment upon the Orangeman. She might try t'to ' virtue of a little blarney. Lady Aberdeen might bo peistiidud to com mence the modus operandl on thla side of the water. Fornniiolfl sometimes look nt it In this light. A great American juilst has written tn his comment mos "As none are blast with every virtue , Neither Is any cursed witti every vice" I would willingly and o > on uaineatly hope for patriotic redemption in oven nn Orangeman , I w 111 hope that when the charter of Irish homo rule is hung up in the old Parllamunt house In College Green , it may not ho long until with a binning blush of Hhamo for her bigotry Ulster will soon bo tempted to twine some oranue lillics about thu frame work of Immortal .sham rock , I will still hope for such a day of 10- gcnoratlon for oven Ulster ; for a day when all ttio sons and daughters of Ii eland will bo In thulr political affairs no longer Catholics , nor I'lOteslanls , but only Iiislimcn kneel ing at the common national shiinu of tholr grand old country's prosperity and glory , llopu itiiilVork. . I Intrude too far upon your considerate at tention. In conclusion thru I will siy that though clouds and daiknuas yet rest upon her future wo u ill not despair fothn \ final and complete triumph of home rule Behind all the clouds still shines the sun of Irish hope I have faith in thu loawakenod pa triotism of the leadership of Ireland I have faith in the cool , quiet , uainost determina tion of the Iiish people I have faith in the sincerity of Gladstone and the people ho represents. 1 IIJMJ faith in the unswerving steudf istuess of America to provo true and unfaltering to every great cause she espouses. I ha\o faith. In this ago , in the line of battle Ireland is waging. But , moro than all , 1 have faith In that Eternal Hand that guides the destinies of nations. Beneath the sur face of all human events , deep down in the philosophy of all human affairs ; back of the dreams of the speculative , and the deeds of the active , behind the fall of empires and the ilso of peoples back and behind and beyond them .ill stands thuuturnal justice of thn living God. I look into the sanctuary of Ireland's altar , and I see bunging there a boautlful ut'.aplot , a glorious Tiara , a crown more injatlcally moanlnjr than any that ever dlndemed the brow of a nation On the llistof thesouhaplots I read. "Ireland re celvoi her faith as no other nation over to cclvod it ; " over the sccoud : "Sho has kept Colions and Linens !

This week will be the househeepers' harvest time. that faith as none other over kept it ) " over the third : "Sho has spread that faith as no other nation ever spread it. " In this I have faith. It is. the key , the key thnt satisfactorily unlocks the most singular of histories. As nations have no eternity there must , In jho logic of divine economy , bo for them ro- ivard or punishment in time. In this I have biding hope for It eland's future. 8ho .er-nis indeed to have reached the summit of lor national Calvary after standing for ages jieroically in defense of her faith and her nationality at the pillar in the gaidon of 'England's Gothscmono So cut tain as a God if Justice rules in the heavens so sure is it .hat . Ii eland's day of national tinnsflgurution s at hand. In this hope I look up and say with the poet priest of Amoiica : "Lo the cloud's drifting by , There's a 1'loam through the gloom , there's a light In the sky.
