headed by the priests Of the parish, an
opportunity Of praseAting me also with
an address Of their own-an opportu-
nifty, [ must say, of which they seem
most gladly 10 have availed themselves.
For both addresses then I beg to thank
you. l am here, as YOU know, on my
return to Dublin from a short visit to
one of the border parishes Of my dio-
cese-the parish of Arklow-in an out
lying district of which, away in the
county of Wexford, it was yesterday
my privilege to perform, for the first
time, the solemn rite of dedicating a
church to the public worship Of God.
That visit has left upon my mind i'm
pressions that cannot easily be effaced.
It was my first official visit to any dis
trict of the county of Wexford, and /
was reminded in it, in more ways than
one as, indeed, no visitor to that his
toric region could fail to be reminded
of much that is instructive in our his
tory. 1t was there that, not yet a
hundred years, were perpetrated those
outrages, to which even yet it is scarce
ly safe for one who is restrained, as /
am, by the responsibility Of high ec-
clesiastical position, to refer in detail.
1t was there that our priests were mur-
dered in cold blood. It was there that
our churches, or, as they were then
called. chapels, were desecrated and
burned to the ground. 1t was from
that very district that the young curate
of Arklow, afterwards the sainted
Archbishop of Dublin, DR.. Murray,
fed for his life. and but saved his life
with difficulty in flying for shelter to a
place of refuge in the city of Dublin,
pursued as he was by the savage assas-
sins of his aged and inoffensive parish
priest. The ciyilizing influence of mod
ern legislation, no doubt, has done
much. in that district as elsewhere, to
curb and to render harmless the hatred
Catholic faith. But there is still to be
found there, in some quarters at all
events, evidence, beyond gainsay and
beyond question. that it is the mere
pressure of law and not the pressure
or the influence of civilization or of
Christian feeling that saves even to-day
the people of that district from re-
newal of some share of the bitter per-
seeution to which their fathers were
subjected in the dark and evil days.

The Cork cattle dealers who have been
boycotting the Cork Packet company,
have issued a prospectus for the forrna-
ton of a new steamship company, with
capital of G100, 600, and to be in one

the two steamers which they have been
running in opposition to the boycotted
vessels have each earned a handsome
profit. The Cork Packet company be-

The political situation is one of per-
plexity to all the British politicians.
There are, Gladstone believes, enough
constituencies to vote to make the
whole issue one of absolute uDcer-
taintY. The reason for this may be
briefly stated. When Mr.. Gladstone
was defeated he knew that he had
enough absentee votes to give him a
majority. SO he preferred to reliHquish
the government and depend upon a
vote Of confidence from the country in
returning him to power. He desired
in this way to become independent Of
the Irish party. He desired to have a
British majority at his back SO that
whatever he might do for Irehnd would
be accepted as concession and not as.
an extortion. He felt sure of success.
The Radicals, however, attempted an
alliance with the Parnellites whereby
they could secure the government for
themselves and in doing SO advocated
several measures extremely popular
with the newly enfranchised voters.
Among others was disestablishment
The Parnellites diStrusted the Radicals
and made an alliance with the Tories.
Gladstone then became aroused, forced
the Radicals to return TO their alle-
glance. and by localizing the disestab-
lishment question where it was popular
succeeded in reducing its effect upon
those Liberals who were inclined to go
over to che Tories TO save the church" ]"
Of which the Tolies posed as defenders.
Flushed with apparent success they re-.
pudiated the Parnell contract. Through
Gladstone's efforts the Tory party was
left without an issue and dwindled.
The Parnellites, however, stood man
fully by their compact. at the time Of
writing the Liberals have elected 313
candidates. the Conservatives 243 and
the Parnellites 10. While Gladstone
has, therefore, 10 majority over the
Tories, they and the Home Rulers tie
him. Never before in English history
was political situation like this.

/ ties. The Radicals and Liberals an

BRITISH PER PI. ITY
With -Four Distinctive Parties in the
Field, Results are Not Easily
Foreshadowed. 3
The Socialists Endeavoring to Form an
Alliance with the
Tories. X

One of the minor results of the Par
Iliamentary elections has been a pretty
general breaking up into factions of the
British Socialists. The statement made
a short time ago in these dispatches Of
an alliance between Tories and Social
lists. the existence Of which Conserya-
tives veheminently denied, is now fully
confirmed. A leading London Social
ist, being interviewed to-day, said that
at a recent meeting Of the Social Dem
ocratic federation it transpired that
s2O0 had been contributed by the Tories
to defray the election expenses of So
cialistic candidates, a furious debate en-
sued, several of the participants being
with difficulty prevented from empha-
sizing their arguments with blows, and
scores of the members Withdrew from
the organization. Tt is expected that
one Of the frst Parnellite motions in
the new parliament will be a demand
for an inquiry into the receipts at Lon

now as they were years ago. They know
who are their friends and who are their
enemies, and knowing this they are not
at all likely to walk into the trap which
the Independent Opposition has spread
for them. They likewise understand full
well that tits place and pay which Oppo-
sition patriots are fighting for. More than
this, there is hardly an intelligent Ha-
waiian in the Kingdom who could not
designate the special Office which would
satisfy the cravings OF Opposition candi-
dates. That being the case, there is lit
tie likelihood OF the present order OF
things being disturbed at the coming
election. 1t would be an unwise expert

THE OPPOSITION AND NATIVE HA-
WAIIANS.

The Opposition, independent and
otherwise, overshoot the mark in their
attacks upon the present Administration.
If It be true, as has been stated, that the
Hawaiian people have been humbugged
and betrayed in the past by those who
protested the greatest friendship for
them, then it follows that previous Adj
ministrations mot the present one),
must bear the blame of systematic de
ceit. We defy any one to point to a
promise made to the Hawaiian natives
by the Administration now in office
which has not been kept. In truth, the
strongest argument against the Govern
ment by the Opposition press is based
upon their alleged pro-Hawaiian policy,
as if it were a political crime to endeavor
to improve the social, moral and eco
nomic condition of the race which CON
stitutes the Hawaiian nation. One
would think this should be primary
function of the Hawaiian Government !;
but the Opposition, of every stripe and
color, regard the native people as mere
suuatters Ii these Islands, whose pres
ence is at once inconvenient and irk-
some. Hence we so frequently read of
threats of revolutionary change in the
interest of the people, forgetting all the
while that it is the dissatisfied foreign
element, which arrogates to itself all
power and authority, that is the intruder
and not the Hawaiian-natiye and to
the manner born.
As the time for the election APP
proaches, however, the Opposition find
it important to conciliate somewhat the
native voters, and therefore begin to
make Overtures of renewed friendship.
Having admittedly betrayed them in the
past, they ask for another trial; but the
native people are not 50 easily deceived

MAIL TO THE COAST.

In another column we print an an
nouncement by Messrs. VIM. q. Irwin &
Co., agents for the Oceanic Steamship
Company, to the effect that the clipper
brig VIM O. Irwin will be dispatched
for the Coast on Monday, the 30th
instant, carrying mails, passengers and
freight. The Postmaster General an
nounces that mail will be made up for
dispatch by the Vim. c. Irwin. This will
be the only opportunity for communicate
Ing direct with San Francisco, so far as is
now known, until about the 18th of
December. 1t is intended by the agents
to dispatch the VIM G Irwin on Satur-
day should the Alameda arrive suffi-
GENTLY early to admit of replies to cor
respondence being completed. This is
doubtful, however, inasmuch as the brig
will necessarily take all the exchange
and correspondence which would have
gone by the steamer if she had come on
her regular trip. In view of these facts,
business men should complete their cor
respondence and procure their exchange
for dispatch by the VIM. G.. Irwin as
early as possible. We are informed that
the two banks-Spreckels & Co. and
Bishop & Co.-are selling exchange by
the VIM. @. Irwin.

Suicide at HaneOhe.

Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock,
a telephone message was received from
Kaneohe, the other side of this island,
stating that Mr.. Charles Larisch had
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the head. 1t appears that he
was subpenaed as a witness in a case
which came up for trial at 8 o'clock that
morning. Not making his appearance in
Court at the proper time, policeman
was dispatched to his residence. On
entering the house the latter was horri-
fed at finding the lifeless body Of Mr..
Larisch stretched out on the floor Of his
office. In one hand was a pistol with
one chamber discharged. There was a
wound in the temple showing that he
had shot himself in the head. Assist
ance was at once summoned, and later
on an inquest was held before the Hon.
Asa Kaulia, District Judge. The jury,
after being sworn, viewed the body and
then heard the evidence. Mr.. Edward

IDENTIFY committed between 9 and 10
o'clock Sunday evening, as some natives
say they heard the report of a pistol
about that time. The jury, after due
deliberation, brought in verdict that
deceased died from the effects of a pistol
shot administered by his own hand.
There is no cause attributed for the rash
deed, though it is stated that the de-
ceased had had some trouble with his
wife Mr.. Larisch was born in Germany
in 1912, consequently was forty-three
years of age. He served SIS a Lieutenant
in the Prussian army during the Austro-
Prussian war in 1866. Three years later
he came to these Islands. For the past
ten years he has been planting cane at
Kaneohe for the Rev. H. III. Parker
He has mother, a sister and two
brothers living in Germany. The de-
ceased frequently visited Honolulu and
was well known around town. Late last
evening coffin was sent over the Pail
and the funeral will take place this
morning.

WEDNESDAY November 25t
THANKSGIVING DAY.

His Excellency George w. Merrill,
United States Minister Resident, has
issued an official invitation to all Ameri-
can citizens sojourning on these Islands
to make due observance of Thursday
next, the Goth instant, as day of
Thanksgiving and praise, in harmony
with the people of the United States.
This publication will be found elsewhere
in our paper. We need hardly say that it
is meet aud proper to comply with His
Excellency's request. Thanksgiving
Day has become one of the great ma
tional festivals of the American people,
although it had local, or rather sec
tional origin. Like so much else that is
good and lovely in thought and purpose
in the United States, Thanksgiving Day
originated in New England, and was the
annual expression of devout gratitude
by the Puritans TO Divine Providence for
the abundant harvests they reaped and
the manifold and continuous blessings
they enjoyed Gradually other COM
monwealths of the Union followed the
example of New England, but it was not
until 1862, under President Lincoln, that
Thanksgiving Day became national
holiday Since then every President
has issued Thanksgiving proclamation,
to which every State Executive responded
by ordering the observance of the day,
within the bounds of his commonwealth
as recommended by the President. The
custom is 8 wholesome one, and is OBJ
served by American citizens in all parts
of the world, but nowhere is it more
enthusiastically observed than on these
Islands. Thanksgiving Day in this yeal
of grace should elicit expressions o.
heartfelt gratitude from all people, for i
has been a year of peace and plenty
throughout the civilized nations. AnC
in these blessings, common to all men
the inhabitants of the Hawaiian King
dom have participated in no small
measure Their " lines have fallen upor
pleasant places" and therefore the in
vitation to the public to participate
which Minister Merrill has issued
should meet with ready and general &C
ceptance.
Religious exercises proper to the Occa
sion will be held at Fort-street Church
and at st. Andrews pro-Cathedral, at
IL O'Clock a. IN. Pastor Cruzan viii
preach at Fort-street Church, and the
Bishop of Honolulu at the Cathedral.

Recognition nay.

The Invitation Committee for the cele-
bration of the anniversary of Hawaiian
independence, or Recognition Day, re-
quests us to state that the public are
cordially invited to attend the ceremonies
to be held at Kaumakapii Church at IL
o'clock on Saturday next, November
2Sth. The Invitation Committee con-
sists of Colonel G. z. Iaukea, Major
Antoine Rosa and Mr.. David Manaku.
The arrangements for the accOmmoda-
ton of the public will be very complete.
Doubtless there will be a large attend
ance upon this interesting national
festival. 1t is the duty of all to join
Loyalty in making it grand success.
The presence of a British man-of-war in
the harbor is exceedingly opportune, con
sidering the conspicuous part taken in
the recognition of Hawaiian Independ-
ence on November IS, 1913, by Admiral
Thomas and the officers and men of his
ships.
