THE IRISHMAN.
HIS WOBK IN THE COLONIES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, Eeb. 26. Mr O’Sullivan, Minister of Works, in a scathing reply to Father Bunbury, said that for tho past forty years the movement of tho world had been towards unification of the races. Such a movement was now going on in Europe, but if we were dominated by such parochial ideas as those formulated by Father Bunbury the Anglo-Celtic race would lose its place among tho nations. It had beon his endeavor to impress this on bis countrymen, English, Scotch, Irish, and Welsh ; the mighty powers of Europe gradually closing round our shores, some day there would be a mighty fight for supremacy. What could Australia do single-handed ? AVhat was the good of talking about a Republic ? Their true and serious duty was to strive to perfect the consolidation of the race from which they had sprung. He had been faithful to his religion, but would not tolerate bigotry and sectarianism from anyone. Father Bunbury was clever, no doubt, in the abstract, but absolutely frail in practice. This Empire was to be built up by the men who could do practical work.
