THE UNITED IRISH. A NATIONAL WEEKLY REVIEW. What does from the United Irish belong to the people affairs which are to be allowed to be saying the steps that we can take to foreign languages which do not need to be regarded as languages of the United States or of the United States of America. No. 285. Vol. 12 DUBLIN, AUGUST 13th, 1904. (PRICE ONE PENNY) ALL IRELAND. The event of last week in Dublin was the Oireachtas—there was no other. It was the staple of discussion—the topic of the man in the street, and yet the Dublin Press did not discover the fact. Since the failure of that press to discover that he had published the National Weekly—which have been nothing more humorous. The Irish Times devoted thirty-five lines, or an average of six lines per day to the Oireachtas; the Daily Express, a total of four or three-quarters of a line per day, but the Freeman was able to give a total of a full column on its back pages. On Saturday, it gave a full column and on Monday nothing at all.

It went, therefore, be seen that Monday morning's Freeman had no room to the Gaelic league reader that the Ard-Pheis had no room to the Gaelic league reader and continually from ten o'clock on Thursday morning, until five o'clock on Friday morning, arranging the future policy of the League, and that the most successful Oireachtas ever held had concluded on Saturday night with prolonged cheering from the vast audience in the Rotunda for Irish-Ireland. This kind of thing is not even f It is not ride to say that the eighth Oireachtas was advanced the language movement. All were doubtful whether it would equal its predecessors—it had surpassed them all. The change of date—which was decided on as an experiment, has proved of real benefit. It has enabled a much larger number of visitors to attend from the country and alroad. Historically the Oireachtas will be formerly say that the competition was attended by a large number of visitors, each night with the Round Room of the Rotunda was thrown with audiences assembled to lotuse to the plays or concerts.
