PHILO-CELTS.
The principal topic among the
Brooklyn Philo-Celts is the pic-nic
which comes off at Schutzen Park on
24th of July.
We had a visit from our friend, F.
J. Ward of New York, a few evenings
ago: he is as buoyant as ever. He
thinks the appearance of, the Gael
should be improved; we coincide in
the remark, and hope that he and our
N. Y. friends will assist in effecting it.
J. J. Lyons, P. Connolly, and A. P.
Ward, of Philadelphia, issue this no¬
tice. — For the accommodation of par¬
ties living above Market St., an up-
town branch of the P. C. Schools is
now established, and will meet hence¬
forth at 7 o’clock every Sunday even¬
ing, at Lewers Hall, S. E. corner 9th
and Spring Garden. Ladies and gen¬
tlemen having the welfare of the Ir¬
ish language at heart, and all who
wish to learn to speak, read and
write the Irish language are cordially
invited to attend.
Mr. J. McLaughlin, of Scammon¬
ville, Kansas, reports the formation of
a Gaelic class in that city.
THE IRISH-AMERICAN "PATRIOTIC PRESS"
P. J. Sheridan, and the Irish World.
The truly patriotic Irishman must feel pained at
the avidity with which certain Irish-American "Pa¬
triotic” journals seize the opportunity presented by
P. J Sheridan’s charges against Mr Ford to try to
blacken his character.
From the enormous circulation of the Irish World
these journalists know perfectly well that P. Ford's
income is sufficient to meet all expenses and to save
money also.
The Boston Pilot pays O'Rielly $6,000 a year
for editing it. The Pilot's circulation is about
40,000 a week. The Irish World's average cir¬
culation is 60,000 a week. If the Pilot can pay
O’Rielly $6,000 a year, the Irish World should
yield Mr. Ford, who is editor and proprieter such
a sum as would place him beyond pecuniary straits
If Mr. Ford is not able to save money on a 60,000
circulation, how can the editors to which
we refer, hold their heads above water on a circu¬
lation of less than 10,000? Except the Irish World
and the Pilot, no other Irish-American paper
exceeds 25,000 in circulation.
Having said so much of the editors, we shall say
a word about Mr Sheridan — Shortly after his arri¬
val here, we were told by a gentleman from Kilga¬
las, Co Mayo Ireland, to be aware of Mr Sheridan,
and hinted that he was in the service of the
British government. The information was con¬
veyed to us under the assumption that we were a
member of a secret patriotic soctety with a view of
putting such society on its guard. Not being a
member, and placing confidence in the gentleman
from whom the caution proceeded ; and to save peo¬
ple being duped by such characters, we waited
on same personal friends who were members of the
old Fenian society thinking they might still be
in a position to convey the information to the
proper quarter. Some of them did not think well
of us for conveying the imputation, but we had
such confidence in the purity of the source from
which it came that we felt satisfied as to its truth¬
fulness, and conveyed it with the same singleness
of purpose. We shall now ask our friends who
thought so “hard” of us for conveying it whether
subsequent facts have not demonstrated its gen¬
uineness ?
If Mr Sheridan was in the British service it would
be his duty to act just as he has done, i. e. when
he failed to worm himself into the confidence of
those who were in a position to make reprisals, to
try to destroy the medium of organization.
