Torrance. Any attempt to repudiate
home rule and abandon principle and
pledges would cause a split in the Liberal
party more formidable than the Liberal
Unionist schism. But setting this aside, the
Irish opposition could absolutely preclude
their return to power.
At present they are in a minority Of
say one hundred and forty. Turn the
Irish Nationalist vote against them,
counting two on division, the hostile
majority would be swelled in round num-
bers to 80. This enormous majority they
should have to wipe out in Great Britain
alone, for they could not hope to serious
ly affect the balance of political parties
in Ireland, and they would moreover
have to face the determined opposition of
the Irish electorate in England. If the
Liberal party has in it a majority of the
trimmers prepared TO adopt a policy
which is in the teeth alike of principle
and expediency which has the double
disadvantage of being dishonest and dis
astrous, they will have to face the conse-
quence of postponing all other Liberal
measures.

AN EVENT TO BE LONG REMEMBERED

Thursday night the Hibernians of JEFF
fersonville held their annual jubilee,
which proved the most pleasant as well
as largely attended in the history of
Division of that city.
Promptly at O'Clock President William
Reilly called the division to order, when
reports were received as to the work done
by the body and large amount of rou-
tine business transacted. After the regu-
lar order had been gone through adjourn
ment was had, that those present might
enjoy the social session that was to
follow.
When President Reilly raped for
order the hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, all the members of the Jeffer-
sonville County Board being present,
with State Treasurer Bernard Coll at
their head, and also large delegation
from the different divisions of Louis
vile.
There was no prearranged programme,
which kept those present in pleasant
state of uncertainty, which resulted in
several humorous and enjoyable sur
prises. Interesting remarks were made
by Mr.. Dave O'Connell and Mr.. John
Barrett, of Louisville, after which a re-
cess was had that refreshments, which
were in abundance, might be par
taken of.
When all had been supplied with eat
oA1ae o.1 I..,,1roL1a. o..1 - Il
cigars, Mr.. James Concannon was intro
duced and sang several Irish songs in his
inimitable manner. He is fine singer
and comedian, and had to respond to
numerous encores. Col. Pat Tracey and
State Treasurer Coll followed with short
asSdzesezs sti;a-s greatly k,atasecs .tlsai-.lsaa.
ers, upon which another recess was
taken.
Between the recesses that followed
songs and recitations were rendered by
Messrs. ]. d. Cooney and James Concan-
non, of Louisville, and John Kennedy
and John Kenney, of Jacksonville.
At late hour the social session came
to an end, that the visitors might catch
the boat or train to return home. All
were loud in their praises of the Jeffer-
sonville division and its Literary and
Entertainment Committee, consisting of
Messrs. Pat Tracey, Dan Gleason, Barney
Coll, R. Stanton and Dan Gill, and in
vitations were extended and accepted to
visit more frequently in the future.
The following are the officers of the
Jacksonville division:
President--William Reilly.
Vice President-James Breen.
Treasurer-Michael Kenney.
Financial Secretary-Jobn Kenney.
Recording Secretary-John Kennedy.
Among the prominent Hibernians from
Louisville were voted David O'Connell,
Timothy Sullivan, John J. Barrett, John
J. Keane, L. d. Perrandy. ], d. Convey
James Concannon, T. d. Kenney, James
McInerney and the representative of
the Kentucky Irish American, who re-
ceived cordial and substantial welcome.
Leading Irish Americans of Jefferson
vile present were Messrs. James Dough-
erty, Pat Tracey. Peter Madden, William
Reilly, Patrick Dixon, Raymond Stan
ton, Bernard Coll, John Kenney. John
Kennedy and Michael Kenney.

GLORIOUS
Was the Reception rendered
the Legion on Its Return
to Louisville.

Never before in the history of Louis
vile was witnessed such jubilee as that
of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in
honor of the Louisville Legion OH its re-
turn from Porto Rico. 1t was patriotic
and generous, and will never be forgotten
by the soldier boys.
AS the daily papers DEVOTED columns of
space in describing the exercises and pro-
ceedings of the three days it would be
superhuous for us to republish what has
already been said. The committees of
ladies and gentlemen having charge of
the jubilee are entitled to the thanks of
soldiers and citizens for the excellent
manner in which they discharged their
duties.
The parade of Tuesday was an inspir-
ing one. While the day was bitter cold
il did not deter but few from turning
oei ~ honor the returning Legion.
While the soldiers were the center of in
t<t<s.. there were few who did not speak
N the most complimentary terms of the
Knights of Pythias, Roman Knights of
St. John, Red Men, Hibernian Knights,
Military and High School Cadets and
Young Mems Institute, who paraded in
handsome uniforms and large numbers.
One of the kindly acts of Tuesday was
that of Mrs. Ransom, of East Broadway.
While the Hibernian Knights were wait
ing for the formation of the parade she
invited them to her elegant home and
served hot coffee to each member, which
was the more appreciated because unex-
pected. This kind lady displayed the
same generosity to many others.
The feast prepared by the ladies for
the soldiers Tuesday afternoon was an
excellent one, and only those who wit
messed the soldiers partake of it can form
an idea of how it was appreciated by
them.
The exercises at the Auditorium were
participated in by as many as could gain
admittance to that spacious edifice.
There were several fine addresses deliv-
cred, the orators being ex-Gov. Buckner,
Henry Watterson, f. ]. McDermott, A.
+. Wilson and others. The feature that
gave the greatest pleasure was the sing
ing of Miss Muldoon and the young
ladies of the High School. Miss Muldoon
and the girls captured the hearts of the
entire audience, and were accorded the
most enthusiastic applause of the even
ing.
The soldiers are now being furloughed,
and at the end of sixty days will be mus
tered out of the service. Many who have
been approached declined to be inter-
viewed, declaring they will say nothing
until after the mastering out, when they
will feel able to speak without restraint
or fear

worth. Johnny Welsh's death adds an
other to the list of the dear dead boys
whom patriotic Lexington mothers and
fathers gave to their country in its hour
of peril, and whose supreme sacrifice
have been their immortal tribute to the
old flag.
A new operating room at st. Joseph's
Hospital has been recently completed. 1t
is located on the third floor in the rear of
the new addition. The room is about
l5x20 feet, with roof of glass and floor
thing. Lately the operating table. basins
and sterilizers were received. A dark
room for specialist work has also been
prepared. The local physicians have
been the chief contributors to the funds
for appointing this room.
Barry Council, Y. NJ. l., No. IA, spent
Sunday in Louisville and took part in the
parade. B. ]. WEIGH Uniform Rank, Y.
NJ. l., thirty-fve strong, also attended
the Louisville jubilee. The boys ex-
pressed themselves as having delightful
trip.
State Secretary James Coleman, of the
A. o. H., is working hard to establish a
branch of the order in Lexington and it
is thought his efforts will be successful,
and he will probably organize the Lex
ington division early in January.
Sergeant d. ]. Mcnamara, of this city,
spent Sunday in Frankfort. 1t is said
that there is magnet in the Capital City
that draws the handsome Sergeant, and to
use his own words "there is only one
girl in this world for me-"

cause is assured-not through Parlia-

tremendous problem in the far East as

France both regard her warlike prepare

agree with Meager. There may still be
men of the caliber of Wolfe Tone who can
guide the tricolor to the Irish coast with
a happier result.

Notwithstanding her immense prepare
tons and the strong blowing of the
provincial press-quite as vicious as its
superior-we believe that England's day
of doom rapidly approaches. OF course
there is some danger that Russia may be
detached by British intrigue from the al
lance with France, and that Germany
may be bamboozled into taking sides
with England. Yet we think the hatred
and jealousy of England S imperial grasp
ingness entertained by all these powers
may cause them to unite against her.
One great defeat of her feet would settle
the question of her supremacy on the
seas. She would thereafter shrink to the
proportions of a third-rate power, and her
teeming Notwithstanding everywhere
but in Ireland--would be compelled to
emigrate in order to escape starvation.
Then Ireland would suffer less than the
more populous and wealthy components
of the so-called United" Kingdom. 1t
has often been said that there is nothing
between a human being and eternity on
the broad ocean but few inches of plank
II is equally true that there is nothing
between the bloody British Empire and
disintegration but few inches Of float
ing steel.
