AN GAOḊAL.
feels such a deep interest in the success of this
National Institution — will no distant day be
pleased to take steps to make these invaluable
works accessible to the Irish student, by placing
them within the walls of the Catholic University of
Ireland, where only they can be made available
to the illustration of the early History of the Cath¬
olic Faith in this country.
TO BE CONTINUED.
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 29 1888.
Dear Sir — In view of the fact that the interest
in the reviving of the Irish language is growing
among the Irish of America. I write you sug¬
gesting that it would be a good thing if there was
a stereo plate factory for the manufacture of Irish
reading matter in stereo plates. You publish in
each issue of the GAEL elementary matter that
would make a plate valuable to nearly every Cath
olic and every Irish and Irish Catholic paper in
the country. To a paper in the west or middle
States it is next to impossible to get Irish matter
in its columns, and the fact, that, with a majority
of the Catholic papers of the country, their read¬
ers are mostly Irish or of Irish descent, would
make such matter a valuable acquisition to them.
You might canvass the different papers of this
class and see what there is in it. The Catholic
Tribune, St. Joseph, Mo. of which I am the Man¬
aging Editor, would be a subscriber to such a
scheme if plates could be gotten out at any reason¬
able price,
Very respectfully,
Jas. O Shaughnessy Jr.
[Mr. Shaughnessy's ideas are excellent. We
invite the attention of the Catholic and Irish Am¬
erican papers to it and request their views. All
engaged in the Irish Language movement should
second it. If the GAEL get the means it will
supply the plates. —Ed.]
An accident to the Gaelic editor has
delayed this issue.
Knownothingism has shown itself again in New
York. We have no means of knowing whether
there be any Irishman in the Hewitt-Balfour train
or not, but it there be he should be shunned as an
Irish leper. The Hewitt-Balfour move is pushed
to try to contradict the claim that Americans are
in sympathy with the Irish National party. Will
he get Irishmen to vote for him? Yes, and blatant
"Irish Nationalists" at that.
Col Kavanagh begged of Knownothing Hewitt
to review his Irish regiment. May God have pity
on poor Ireland!
