Second prize went to Desmond Murphy of Norwich Town, who wrote on Distinguished Irish- Americans in the Revolution. The third best essay was by Una C.

In so short an essay it is imy ble to do justice to the rank file of Irish and Irish-Americans who dis- tinguished themselves in America's struggle for independence. Suffice it, that even Galloway conceded that half the American army was Irish, and William Froude, Ireland’s most malig- nant traducer, admits that “the most determined in pressing the quarrel to the last extremity were those tenants evicted from Ulster by the Anglican bishdps.” . ‘We turn to fhe leaders to discover the spirit reflected in their men, and among the Irish and Irish-American leaders we find a spirit of indomitable bravery which has caused the names of Irishmen to be interwoven with every heroic deed of the Revolution. The Irish were among the first to defend the colonists and to offer sac- rifice_on the altar of independence, for Patrick Carr was one of the fiv killed at the Boston massacre. At the Boston tea party, General Knox, who stood first In Washington's affections, helped guard, while Captains Moore and Howard flung the tea into the harbor. General Sullivan struck the first blow for independence at Fort Will- jam and Mary. Colonel James Bar- rett guarded the iilitary stores at the battle of Concord, while Hugh Cragil saved the town records. At Bunker Hill, Majors Moore and McClary lost their lives, Gen, Richard Montgomery, who was killed at Quebec. was one of the most famous generals of the Continental army—Warren and Mont- gomery—offerings made by Ireland up- on the altar to American liberty,” was a toast at a Hibernian festival in Sa- vannah in eighteen twenty-four. There are Irish names especially dear to every southerner—John Rut- ledge was commander in chief of the South Carolina military and General Thompson commanded thé Third regi- ment of South Carolina, while Colonel Fitzgerald was an officer in the old Blue and Buffs, the first southern volunteers. Ireland may well boast of General Morgan, leading his Trish-American riflemen; Gen, Walter Stuart, the “boy colonel” " of ‘the Continentals: and Thomas Conway, appointed inspector general by congre: She may refer with pride to General Clinton’s bril- liant defence of Fort Clinton; General Maxwell'’s courage in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; General Hand's service at the siege of Boston; General Poor’s endurance of the hard ships of Valley Forge and the courage- ous conduct of Captains O'Neil and Armstrong at the surrender of Au- gusta. The navy, too, has furnished us with Jrish heroes—Jeremiah O'Brien won the the first naval victory of the Rev olution off the coast of Maine, and this was followed by the exploits of John and Willlam O'Brien, Captains Burke, | Dunn, Murphy, Reed, Lacy and Lieu- | tenant Fanning: Capt. John Barry, the father of our Infant navy, successively commanded the Lexington, EMngham, Raleigh and Alliance. None dared dispute Lord Montjoy’ assertion in the house of commons when he told the ministers: “You have lost America through the Irish!” Then honored by the services of Erin’s sons in the war of independence, and let Justice, guiding _History’s pen, write on the tablets of America's re- membrance, “Eternal gratitude to Irishmen.

Subject on Which M. A. Donahue of Baltic Wrote and Secured Third Prize. History tells us that when_ John Sobieski. the herofc king of Poland, raised the siege of Vienna, hurled back the tide of -Mohammedanism which threatened to engulf all Europe, the glorious- triumph of the Christian arms was celebrated by the redeemed city with unusual rejoicing. The preacher on that eventful day selected as an appropriate text for his discourse the sixth chapter of the Gospel of St. John, “There was a man sent by God and his name was John.” With no less force, with no less ap- proyrinteness could the same text be applied to the no less heroic prelate as the name sent by God whose name was John, who in the battle for Catholic education led the forces of Truth against 'r;lei ?hhu:cw" of Error—a con- ict in_which the opposing "‘é" ‘were arraved under the banners of Catholic education and the banners of the con- bined sects. Great and vital were Lhe issues at stake when this intrepid war- rior, this noble son of Erin, mst the combined assaults of the bigots of the press, the bar and the pulpit. The is- sues involved not only the salvation of the rising generation, but the reten- tion in communion with the grand old Xw(her church of millions of hér chil- ren. ‘The battle for Catholic rights was carried on by the lion-hearted prelate against the Public School society of New York city, which had almost the entire charge of common school edu- cation, together with the management, disposition anr control of the public funds raised by taxation and otherwise, Calmly and resolutely the noble arch- bishon took his stand against the great injustice by.which Catholics were taxed for a system of education that had been perverted from its professed design to a proseclytizing machine. Alone and undauted this champion of Tatholic education met.and repelled the attacks of his antagonists. How- ever eager his co- ‘were to enter the lists, they felt that the cause was in better hands, and wisely decid- ed not to interfere in a battle that was yazed with .“tc";.ll consumma ”a:--klul. a never failing self- on and with an intellectual power that bore down the whole weight of his op- ponents. After two years the battle closed with the utter annihilation of the Public Schoel society. Two generations have passed since the glorious battle for conscience was waged, and t8day the Catholic paroch- jal system is established on a solid foundation, and this with Catholic money alone. “The. principle for wiich Hughes contested is now Archbisho mo.nm’lflun- ic as essen- -Cathol! g to“‘ ery existence of any church In view of the far-reaching conse- ‘guences and the magnitude of the work performed by thig- son Erin for the establishment of the schol system; in view of the Tects of the Vi he won olic education, on his own and future times, can we net pustly r‘pt:l {V'l. o gass S8 Aal S AMELA I ALAN AL ~ JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY pbakiitabdely Catherine Hasler of Taftville Writes of His Lifelong Devotion to Ire- land’s “Cause. 3 = In John Boyle O'Reilly’s life, we have an example of a career which reflects credit on the man and sheds lustre on our race. It is an example of life-! devotion to the cause of Ireland worthy of the study and emulation of his young fellow country- men of today, and powerfully condu- cive towards the realization of the ideals which he struggled to attain, the hopes which he cherished, and the success of the cause for which he was g pom“.l A Few men have n gucl happy combination the qualities of “pone and muscle and brain,” with which it pleased Nature to endow John Boyle O'Reflly. In strensth and proportion of body the man was mag- nificent. He was a born athlete, and his book on “Athletics and Manly Sports,” is one of the best ever writ- ten on the subject. That he had brains and knew how to use them to advan tage in all em: ncies and under all ?‘llreumunc&l. life and works am- y prove. John Boyle O'Reflly was born at Dowth Castle, County Meath, Ireland, June 28, 1844, In 1863 he enlisted in the Tenth Hussars in Ireland for the purpose of spreading revolutionary sentiments amonz the soldiers. Three years later he was tried for treason and sentenced to death, a sentence commuted to twenty years' penal serv itude. From Dartmoor he was tran; ported in 1867 to Australia, whence he escaped and, having been picked up by an._American shin made his way to_Philadelphia. His first act on touchinr American #0il was to make application for his naturalization papers and there close: the life of O'Reilly the rebel and the convict. The life of O'Reilly the jour- nalist, the trusted leader, the superbd citizen, and friend of the oppressed, was now to begin. When landing in Philadelphia he had not a friend on the continent of America. He proceeded to New York, where he was well re- ceived by the Fenlans, who knew of his work in Jreland, and from there he went to on, where he was engaged as a reporter on the Boston Pilot, with ‘which paper he retained his connection until his death. To the end of h life, any man who had worn the badge of honor as a convict from Ireland had a warm place In the heart and affec- tions of John Boyie O'Rellly. He was now growing in fame and influ- ence, and his reputation was rapidly increasing, his poems attracting world- ‘wide attention. John Boyle O'Reilly said that the strength that Ireland has exerted thrz.fl her banished millions Is fm- material and spiritual, the very op- posite to that of England. He also remarked that the good will of the ‘world is with Ireland, and God is sav- ing her. ° John Boyle place on August 10, 1890, in the forty- sixth year of his age.
