toward Mr.. Dillon and himself
They were finishing tour that in
cludcd Africa, Australia, and New
Zealand, and were going TO the
United States, and in every country
visited they were proud TO be able
to say that they had found friends
and sympathiscrs. They did not
expect to meet so many friends here
but their pleasure was none the less
keen because it was unexpected. lie
wished to express their thanks and
those of their colleagues for the kind
ness Of the King in sending his band
oplay for them that night. They had
listened to many bands but he
doubted II they had met many bet
ter ones. Mr.. Berger asked him
not to be too critical about the per-
Torrance, but after hearing it he
thought IL was above criticism. But
above all they were indebted to them
for the sympathy with their cause,
for, struggling as they were in be-
half Of poor people, it was
source of strength for them to find,
wherever they went, that men who
take the trouble to look into the
matter are their sympathisers. They
represented movement of Irish
nationality. They would have q
Legislature in Ireland as you have
here to settle Irish affairs. When
listening to the music to-night--that
is, tho Irish tunes-it carried him
back to the days when they had a
Legislature for Ireland. The right
OF Ireland to Parliament was per-
haps more ancient than the Parlia-
ment of England itself. They should
keep it up perhaps to the day of
judgmcnt--tllev should never give
it up till they had Parliament. Of
their own. They were told they
were very cxtravagant in their de-
mands. But how would people like
il some power would come and tell
you to give up your Parliament; that
they would attend to that business
for you! Was there man present
who would not sacrifice the last drop
of his blood before submitting TO
il? They felt the same as the lIa-
waiian people. 1t had been said
that if Irishmen were not so ex-
tremely weak-having so large u
share of original sin--they might be
allowed to govern themselves. Yet
he doubted, if Hawaiian affairs were
carried on by another country, as
those Of Ireland were by England,
If our prosperity would have adj
vanced as it has. If this banquet
had been held in Ireland they should
have in addition to Mr.. Logan--who
was making q better speech for him
than he was making himself (laugh-
ter)-they should have another re.
cording angel, and he would be q
black angela Government rcportc,
to take down all their speeches, and
they should he liable TO be sent tc
hard labor for six months. If this
country had government like their:
it would be very much worse off
!, AS all students of Irish history
knew this struggle had gone on fo
some time, but they were lookin!
forward to time when they coul,
I retire to the bosom of their familie
, and give up agitation, when the,
should have q Parliament of their owl
to conduct their own affairs. Englis
$ artisans were coming over to thei
5 fellow-countrymen when they get a.
| opportunity at the polls. They wef
| waiting for the next general cleo
: ton. Within three or four year
, it would be decided whether the
y should be able to give up this agitn
c ton. And hope, Sir Thomas sal,
E in conclusion, il any of these Iris
S people come to you they will addres
t you, not as members of the Engls
| Parliament, but as members OF til
L Irish Parliament, hound to the pee
4 pie Of England, not by buckshot an
: Sniders, but by the bonds Of broth
c erly love. We can safely say tina
n the Paradise of the Pacific fully dc
:. serves its name. (Applause.)
