large portion of his countrymen today.
We have a lineal descendant of the said Prince
O'Rorke here in Brooklyn, fully up to his illustri¬
ous kinsmen in flathamlath, and we are proud to
be able to say that he can speak, though certainly
not fluently, the language of his regal ancestry.
Where are the descendants of the O'Conors, O¬
Briens, O'Neills, O'Reillys and all the other Irish
chieftains that they would not come to the rescue
of their country's language ? Shame! gentlemen,
to permit the ancient splendor of your regal an¬
cestors to be overshadowed by the fossil excres¬
cence of yesterday.
The Gaelic Journal.
We learn from the Tuam News that
the 8th. number of the Gaelic Journal
is nearly ready for distribution — A
word in that regard — Persons complain
that the Gaelic Journal does not come
out regularly — Gentlemen supply it
with the sinews necessary for active
work and there will be no disappoint¬
ments. It takes some money to turn
out the Gaelic Jonrnal. Where is it to
come from if the Journal is not sup¬
ported as it ought to be? Father No¬
lan has no command of means to de¬
fray the expenses of the Journal. We
believe he undertook to found it with
the patriotic idea that Irishmen enough
sufficiently intelligent to comprehend
the anomally of a Nation without a
language existed, who would with
alacrity support all efforts made
to remove that anomally. Has he
been properly supported in his patrio¬
tic exertions? The GAEL is no criter¬
on as regards the Gaelic Journal.
The GAEL is gotton up cheaply — it is
merely an effort, and Providence has
placed us in a position to conduct it
without much expense. It is now firm¬
ly fixed as a fact, though, as before
said, small. Before we undertook it
we carefully surveyed our ground and
proceded cautiously, yet with the det¬
ermination that the word "failure"
should not be found in our vocabulary.
Let all Irishmen support the Gaelic
Journal. Let them not give it to say
that the metropolis of their country
should be without a national journal.
