We have received GAELIC communication from
Mr. McSweeney Mobile, Ala. Also, suggestions
from Mr. A. P. Ward, recommending the open-
ing of a column for
"Sean ráiḋte,"
or “Wit and Humor.” This would be highly in-
teresting, but the proper conduct of such a depart
ment, in collating the material, would require
a good deal of attention to ward off critics,

The Gaelic Journal Reviewer deals rather severe-
ly with some of our Gaelic contemporaries. These
facts must be borne in mind with the Irish as
will as other languages. There is no royal road
to either, and it is the height of ignorance and im-
pertinence for any one man to assert or insinuate
that be alone is an infallible guide. Any man
with ordinary intelligence can command a knowl-
edge of the grammar of any language if he devotes
sufficient time and attention to it It will be time
enough to criticise when a considerable number of
our countrymen can read the language.
Let every reader try and get one subscriber for the
Gael. Of course, some will get dozens, as they
have already done, but let every reader try to get
at least one. Then the GAEL could be turned out
with a nice green cover and four pages of reading
matter added to it. Let us, brothers, show the
world that we have one presentable journal in our
native tongue.
Mr. Martin P. Ward's next song
will be "An Seaċrán Siġe."
