That Great Detection.

Some of our city Journals have been Civ
ing currency to silly story about Ger
tain grand impending detection from the
Catholic Church in Mexico. One DR.. Riley,
"Bishop elect" is reported to have passed
through this city recently on his way to be
"in at the death" as they say, or to be on
hand for receiving the seceders.
On recovering little from the shock
ones first impulse is to ask who "elected"
him that is, Riley7 Did the Mexcans
do it This point is left in such profound
the DR.. of being a carpet bagger. We fear
that his reverence was "elected" by some
body other than his intended constituents.
Then we do consider it very suspicious
circumstance that the rev. Dr's. christian
name is not given. We have scarcely
doubt that that name is Pat. Anything
from Indian chief to Mexican (Old Church)
off on a tear.
However that may be, he is fit to take
rank with Stanley as a discoverer. He
announces that there is an immense move
ment among the Mexicans looking to sepa-
ration from Rome. He even gives out that
| three Jesuit fathers have Joined the move
ment, but unfortunately ueglects mention
| ing their names. The strangeness of the
discovery is increased by the fact that the
rev. gentleman is just going to Mexico
instead of just coming thence. How he
got this information in advance of the
telegraph man and the newspaper cores
pondents, we are left to imagine.
So the Mexicans have, according to him,
'sput themselves abreast with the Old Catho-
lie movement in Europe" And has it come
to this at last-or rather, 80 soonf Has the
great, overwhelming, Mexican Protestant
movement, which Reverend Bishop Some
bedyelse was engineering a few months
ago, simmered down into 80 insipid mesl
already7 Dear, dear! Instead of camI
meetings and shouting greasers we are t.
have only "Mo@arabic liturgy"
But reverend Riley says that's all right
he's satiefied with that. Any kind of spill
with Rome will do him for a religion. Well
it's only abreast of the Old Catholic move
ment in Europe, we don't think Riley will
make much by it in either cash or consola
tiop.

On Monday, the 1st of April, his Holiness,
Pope Leo XIII, received in private audience
His Eminenoe Cardinal Cullen and Monsgnor
Kirby, Rector of the Irish College, Cardinal
Cullen presented to Leo XIII. on this occasion,
six addresses from Ireland. The first was an
address from the Clergy of Dublin Diocese.
The second was from the Catholic University
of Ireland. The third was from the Bishop,
Clergy, and faithful of the Diocese of ossory.
The fc urth was from the Archbishop of Cashel
and the Bishops of the province of Cashel The
fifth was from the Bishop, Clergy and faith
fol of Ferns Diocese; and the sixth was from
the Corporation of the City Of Limerick
These addresses were separately presented to
the Holy Father, with few words of explana'
ton from the Cardinal. On the same day
an immense number of persons were re-
Ceived in the loggie of Raphael.

also pay more for his fine wines, rich silks
and grand furniture, but the effects upon
the two classes are not parallel. The poor
man suffers by reason of his tax the rich
man does not. The former pays the increase
of price out of his necessities; the latter
out of his superabundance. The poor man
can, perhaps, barely support his family in
comfort when prices are at the lowest the
rich man never feels the pinching Of want
no matter to what figure prices may rise.
The Custom House is an inhospitable
reminder to other nations that they are
strangers, it is the remnant of an era of
non intercourse aud mutual jealousy, 1t is
an institution founded on barbaric notions
Of dominion, rather than on Christian prin-
ciples of universal brotherhood.
We are told that home industries must
be fostered until firmly rooted, and that
taxes must be raised in some way.
Home industries can be fostered as eff
ciently by the bounty system as by that
of the protective tariff and far more justly,
for the bounty would be paid by the Sec
tion to be profited, while the tariff lays its
tribute on sections not at all interested in
the industry to be fostered.
Taxes must be raised. True enough,
but why draw them from impoverished
sufferers while superabundance and luxury
overshadow the land with their pride 7
Why tax labor which suggests hardship,
while there is property which is proof OF
savings9 We hope to see the day when a
Democrstjc simDljcity in poverDment will
have abolished all impediments to COM
merce with their corrupt and corrupting
train of official parasites.

The movement for tho preservation OF the
Irish language is spreading in England, as we'll
No in this country. Recently meeting was
held in London, having for its object the in
<trodnction of Irish into the programme Of the
Irish National Board. An English member of
Parliament, Mr. Hutchinson, presided, and
among others present were Scotch member Of
Parliament, Isaac Butt, oConnor Power, DR..
Mackay, the well-known Scotch ltterdte"r, and
Mr.. Stokes, an inspector of schools in England.
Several excellent speeches were delivered, after
which resolutions were unanimously adopted
in favor of the object of the conference. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. Stokes stated
shat the object can be attained II the Irish
people really wish it.

The United States Senate after the 4th OF
March next, will be Democratic by majority
of from eight to twelve. The only hope the
Radicals have Of getting a hold in the Govern

next House of Representatives. What their
chances are may be judged of by the figures OF
the official canvass of the last election, which
show that the Democrats have three times as

NOTICE,

During this season of festivals for Churches
and charitable purposes, much has been heard.
in the we'll merited praise Of the many pro-
fessiopals and amateurs that have been en-
tertaining the good people of our city. Among
them all is Professor NJ O'Reardon who enjoys
o world famed reputation for his performances
on the instruments of his own invention-the
Tumbleronoon and Water Flute-by which he
produces "the most heavenly music that oan
be imagined" Such is the praise of all who
have heard it.
The effeot of the Irish Melodies on those in
struments surpasses every thing that has been
heard in that style of music. This gentleman
is on a visit to his family friends in this city
which was the occasion of his assisting Pro-
fessor Blake in giving concert in st. Miohael's
Hall during the past week. A repetition ofthe
same concert will be given this evening in st.
Stephens Hall, Napoleon Avenue, at II clock,
and it may be the last opportunity for those
who wish to enjoy it as Professor N. O'Rear-
don is engaged for the Paris Exhibition and

This new and admirable series has already
reached its 18th namber, and we are glad 10
know it has received the approval of several
most pious and energetic Bishops. Moreover
this siastical appreciation is Of that prac-
tioal kind which manifests itself tangibly In
the shape of repeated purchases, by the dosen'
of these cheap books, which prove to be an
excellent go bstituts for the old style tracts.
The stories are all well written some are
even clas in the lspgusge-and, that our
readers may judse of their quality and cheap
we give some Of their titles and prices;
"Fabiola," by Cardinal Wiseman, 25 cants;
"Tyborne, in the Days of Elizabeth" 20 oents;
"wreoked and Saved" q book for boys, 10
cents; s'The Straw-Cutter's Daughter" cents.
Readers who have injured their eyes by the
poor print, and risked their faith and morals
by much of the doubtful matter in the Lake
side, Riverside, Seaside, Waterside. and other
side novels, will welcome the Vatican Library
for its neat and attractive covers, its clear and
legible type and, above all, its choice and
interesting selection of tales.

This little volume, If guaged by it's humble
size and its low price of twenty five cents,
might be passed by as unworthy of notice;
but, in view of the sub jeot and the i1fustrious
author, it at once arrests the attention and
invites examination. And as soon as this ex-
animation is commenced, the reader finds him
self, as it were, in q mine of golden thoughts
which he cannot leave before exploring to the
end.
1t is marvel how SO many burning ques-
tions have been treated, and thoroughly treat
ed, too, in these few pages and we shall not
be surprised to see this pastoral address take
rank, as q textbook. alongside the immortal
Syllabus Of the wonderful Plus TX.

To the Catholic Publication Society of New
York we are indebted for copies of these most
interesting volumes, which have just issued
from their press. Readers who have enjoyed
these charming productions as they appeared,
from month to month, in the columns of the
Catholic Uorld, will welcome their reproduction

| leges, schools and academies will rejoice at

the direct route to the East India
of Great Britain. Cyprus, is not
only an ancient Island, but its historic me-
mories are full of interest. She sustained at
one period of her history one million of inhab-
itants. We admire the astuteness of Lord
Baconsfeld, the British Plenipotentiary to the
Berlin Congress, for his address and clever
ness Gas his countrymen would phrase it in
securing the highly important Island of Cy-
prus to England. By the arrangement in the
treaty, England agrees to pay to Turkey for
the control of this important Island the sum of
$3.50, 900 per annum, whereas she has hereto
fore paid Turkey, only S6OO,OOO per annum.
But should the absolute control of this impor-
tant sally port become necessary to the British
government at any future period, that govern
ment, will assuredly assume such absolute
control as would exclude every other power
from that territory, or any advantages arising
from it. France and Italy have already init
mated their dislike of this diplomatic sharp
trick on part of the British Representative at
Berlin The act is consummated, and now,
Baconsield, can say TO France and Italy. Well,
so it is, and what are you going to do aboutit ?

WEDNESDAY. July "a. 1873

THE Legislative Assembly, during the past
week made commendable progress with the
Appropriation bill, which has passed its first
reading. The items in the bill of especial in
terest, are, for roads and bridges throughout
the whole Kingdom slO5, 900, which inclpdes
the road tax, which will be Sos, 900. For con-
tinuation of King street to Kapiolani Park,
$4,000 For new Palace $4,000. An
unsuccessful effort was made to increase the
salaries of Cabinet Ministers from $4,000 to
S5, 900. The salary of the Register of Public
Accounts, was increased from $4,000 TO S2.-
500, which is not cent too much, for the re-
sponsibilities incurred, and the labor performed
by that officer
We are pleased to note the appropriation for
a new Palace for His Majesty, which is uni
versally considered a necessity. We are also
pleased to note, the item of $4,000 for the
continuation of King street to Kapiolani Park,
a measure We have advocated in these col
umns with zeal for some time. We hope the
Trustees of the Park will lose no time in per-
fecting their plans for carrying out the neces-
sary improvements at the Park SO as to make
that delightful spot the ne pius ultra of neat
ness and taste. If the Trustees set about the
work in good earnest, they can by next June,
have such improvements at the Park as will
satisfy every one that the money appropriated
| by the present Legislature was well expended

The PRoPosED CHANGE IN THE POSTAL Law
Among other matters now before the Legislative
Assembly, is an Act 10 change the postal laws of
this Kingdom. 1t is proposed, we understand, by
this law, to change the postal charge on news
papers from abroad to twice the present rates. and
one cent on esch newspaper Published in this King
dom, when sent TO subscribers on these Islands.
II the Assembly shonld pass the Law spoken Of,
with this new aud unnecessary tax on newspapers,
1t viii be doing what is not done anywhere else
that we are aware Of In the United States for in
stance, newspapers are exempt from the payment
Of postage, when sent to subscribers from the office
of publication; although the Post Office Depart
ment of the United States, is far from being self
sustaining. II our lawmakers place this new bur-
den newspapers, il will have the effect Of dimlD-
ishing the number of Hawaiian readers. Perhaps
that is the reason why the Assembly wish to pass
the law with the obnoxious provision in II. We
think the honorable members might ind other
matters on which TO exercise their wisdom than
taxing newspapers, If they would half try. With
the example of the balance of Christendom against
this line Of legislation We mildly suggest TO our
legislators the proprieiy of not taking step back
wards II would look very bad in the newspapers,
and might proFoke unfAyorable criticism. Would
il not be as well to call 8 halt just here and now
on the postal question, especially the Post ONCE

parties who might propose to construct and
equip the roads. With such precaution, the
government through the Minister Of the Inte-
rior, would have better opportunity of
guarding against any sharp practice on the
part of those who might undertake the work;
and we are convinced that the money thus ex-
pended by the government would lie well ex-
pended We make these suggestions for the
benefit of the members of the Assembly who
may take an interest in this railroad question,
but who from the nature of things are ignorant
Of many things that will necessarily enter into
q railroad contract We will merely add, that
the day that witnesses the first railroad fin
ished on these Islands, will be the date from
which prosperity will set in that will out
strip every other that was ever witnessed in
this Kingdom, and the King and Ministry,
under whom such work shall be accom-
plished, will have done more for his reign,
and for his people than has ever been accom-
plished by all his predecessors. To prove this
we have only to point to the history of rail-
roads in any country on the globe. II he who
causes one additional blade of grass to grow
where rone has grown before, is ranked among
the benefactors of mankind, how much lhore
that man, or set of men, who in any country
by their skill, judgment and courage, cause
to be furnished, such facilities as railroads
furnish for the extension of the trade and CON-
rnerce of a country And NAV we not say
that the same incentive is here, as elsewhere,
to stimulate our rulers to the glorious enter
prise of constructing railroads to develop the
magnificent resources of Hawaii, and lift hel
up from obscurity to a nOtOriety equal to those
resources.
