GAELIC LEAGUE.
Ajumr.ss By lord ashbourne
'Times' —'Sydney Sun' Special Cables, (Received Oct. 7, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 6.
Lord Ashbourne (ex-'Chancellor of Ireland), in a speech at a Gaelic League gathering, said the English tongue would never be the Irish tongue. John Bull was the most narrow-minded, impossible person the world had ever seen. Anyone going to the Continent knew what an utterly incapable fool his representative was; he looked; for his own language and customs; and complained when he failed to get them. The best way for the Irish to become a progressive people was to speak their own language.
