The Right Rev. Bishop of Ferns has
appointed Rev. William iHarpur, of the

Professor at st. Peters College, Wexford,
and has also appointed Rev. P. Doyle, S.
P. c., to the curacy of Lady's Island, vice
Rev. M. E. Cavanagn, c. c., deceased.
His many friends will learn with heart
felt sorrow that the amiable and Jealous
Rev. Matthew r. Cavanagh, G. c., Lady s
Island, died on the LIST instant, after long
suffering from dopsy. Father Cavanagh
was born at Donoghmore, near Ballygarret,
about forty-five years ago. He was the
son of an ancient family, which had given
more than one distinguished member to the
Church, and after having pursued dis
tinguisned theological course in Louvain,
he was ordained about nineteen years ago,
and was appointed curate, at Barntown, to
his uncle, Canon Foley, where he remained
until about five years ago, when the first
symptoms of consumption, to which he
eventually succombed, made themselves
manifest in his system; and he finally
passed to the reward Of his labors, on the
date mentioned, lamented by all who wneW
him.
On September 1, one of the most es
teemed men in Wexford-whether in town
o. county-passed away in the person Of
Mr. Thomas Witty, OF Ballinaslaney,
Oylegate. Mr.. Witty was one Of those
warm hearted men to know whom was to
love- Simple as a child, thoroughly up
right, a warm friend and a really good
man, he never made an enemy during his
life-while he was the valued and respect
ed friend of every one who had the priv
lege of knowing him. On Wednesday,
September 2, his solemn obsequies took
place in Oylegate. High Mass was sung
by Rev. NJ Heating, G. c., Glenbrier, and
there was large body Of the clergy in the
church, which was crowded to it's full ca
pacity. The funeral, which attended the
remains of the deceased to Saunderscourt,
was the largest ever remembered by any
one who witnessed it. ...

KINGS COUNTY.

At the last meeting of the Edenderry
Poor Law Union, the clerk read a commune
cation from Messrs. D. and T. Fitzgerald,
solicitors, Dublin, with reference to the
surcharge made against Messrs. Lenehan,
McCombe and Wyer. members of the Eden
derry Guardians, by the Local Government
Board, for having granted outdoor relief to
evicted tenants, and for the recovery Of
which surcharge the Local Government
Board had instituted proceedings against
the guardians. Messrs. Fitzgerald sug
gested the desirability of asking the Guard
ians concerned to lodge the money, as
otherwise considerable expenses would be
incurred n the case, coming before tho
court, as liberal costs and expenses would
be asked for In the discussion that fol-
lowed, Mr. Lenehan said it came to this,
that the Guardians could not grant relief
to deserving cases. Mr. G. Tyrrell, j. P,
who presided, urged the acceptance of
Messrs. Fitzgerald's suggestion, and men
toned that the court, on trying the case,
would be bound to give decree, on. q
mere production of the necessary proofs OF
the surcharge having been made. No order
was made. .

The Limerick Market trustees have

their financial position, a crux OF not
altogether unexpected nature having oc-
Cured. The mortgages, with the ex
ceptfon of the London Economic Assur-

And every morning, fair or foul,
In shine or shadow dim,
A pretty little housemaid came
And softly busted him.
She took him up so gently,
With such a. charming air,
His china soul was melted quite,
He loved her to despair.
ALI day he sat and thought Of her
Until the twilight came,
And in his china dreams at night
He oreathed her little name.
One day while being busted,
In his JOY he trernbled SO
TO feel her little fingers that,
Alas, she let him 80.
In vain she tried to grab him back.
Fate winel it they should part.
He fell gainst the fender edge
And broke his little heart.

She spoke this little epitaph:

TERMANAGH.

One of the most serious party riots that
has ever occurred in F'ernlanagh broke
cut on the night of the 2Sth ult., in
Tempo. It was the local fair day, and
there was a large number of country peo-
pie in the village. About O'Clock in the
evening two men named Armstrong and
Grey (the former Protestant and the
latter Catho.ic) commenced to fight
about a, quarter Of a mile outside Of the
village, and in few minutes, though the
two original contestants had shaken
hands, a large body OF Orange1nen COL
lected with party cries, and started a
genuine riot, breaking the windows Of
the Catholic inhabitants. They looted
the extensive grocery establishment Of
Mr.. Michael McManus. They spared
neither person nor property as far as they
could reach, and this state of affairs con-
tinued with increasing intensity up till
the arrival of a small force Of constabu-
larry from L:sbel]aw AS soon as the Or
angemen found the police on the scene
they s]1edaddled, in their usual fashion,
with their usual resolve to come again
another day whenever they can have
things their own way, as they have been
having them too long in this section of
the North.

ENGLAND AND THE TRANSV1AL.

NEGOTIATIONS between Great Britain and the

indeed has for the most part conducted them.
with consummate skill. His Is a new type Of
diplomacy which Is perhaps more effective than
the old in such a case as this. But Mr.. Chamber
lain has many bitter enemies at home. whose
hatred Of him sometimes exceeds their love for
British interests They have from the outset
done their utmost to cmbarrass him and to
thwart his efforts for an honorable settlement
Of the dispute. How far they will ultimately
succeed is yet to be seen At present they have
managed TO do good deal Of mischief. and have
almost prevented Mr.. Kruger's intended visit to
England 1t is scarcely possible however. that
these malicious marpots Will altogether have
their way There Is enough sound sense at Lon
don and Pretoria to effect just settlement OF
the trouble in spite Of their ll-meant meddling
Nor Is there reason to credit the report that Eng
land Is now planning the invasion and conquest
OF the Transvaal 1t may be that she is going
TO send an army to South Africa. But that does
not necessarily mean march to Pretoria There
Is work enough in Bcchuanaland and Matabcle-
land and the whole vast territory Of the South
Africa Company, now taken under Government
control, to keep such an army busy, without
aggressions upon the Beers.
Whatever may happen, however. 1t is well to
keep clearly in mind the status Of the South
African Republic, and its relationship to Great
Britain. Lord Salisbury has recently ntimated
that the Republic is an integral part Of the Brit
ish Empire, as much as the Cape Colony itself
is The Opposition denies this, and holds that
it is free and independent State. This latter
view commonly prevails in this country, as well
as In Germany and elsewhere on the Continent

THE BANKING SCHEME.

Representative Walker. Of Worcester. Mass,
In his address to Boston bankers and business
men on Wednesday explained and advocated at
length the financial bill which. as chairman Of
the Banking and Currency Committee in the
House, he proposes to offer. 1t is, in substance,
a total separation Of Government from all con-
nectIon with the paper currency or its rcdemp-
ton. with various provisions designed to rem
der the banking system more free and more
profitable and at the same time more safe
Neither Mr.. Walkers good intentions nor his
ability will be questioned. but we believe he will
find that he is trying to get something done
which the people Of this country do not want
done If correctly reported, Mr.. Walker used
the word must" rather prematurely, in declar-
ing that 1.-The Government must from now on
.be relieved from directly issuing and putting
into circulation or being in any way responsible
.for the current redemption of any form or
"paper money" Unless some change IN our
form of government has taken place without
public knowledge, must is a word which the peo-
pie themselves still have right to USE
The fact Is that some bankers ardently desire
to obtain for banks the sole power to issue clrcu-
