The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1898-11-18

We doubt if in all eastern Carolina
you can find a single truly respectable,
intelligent northern man by birth, who
has come into the state within the
last six years or SO, whatever his pol
tiles, who is not for White Mans SUI
premacy and assisted in securing it in
the last campaign. So far as we know
personally OF have been informed
through others all such really worthy.
intelligent men of northern birth are
heartily with the whites in the great
contest for the rule of intelligence and
virtue over barbarism and incapacity.
We know of strong republicans among
this kind of settlers who stood firmly
by the whites and labored and voted
for the triumph of the White Race.

HOME FOLKS

We do not think hat the democratic
state press was ever so earnest and
so instrumental and so bold for the
right as in the late campaign. It did
splendid work for the restoration Of
honest, good government and for the
supremacy of the White Race. What
ever may happen in any particular
locality hereafter. it is quite certain
that no other battle will have to be
fought and won for the rule of the
White Men in North Carolina. h
press did most important work and it
deserves we'll of the people.

GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Career of an Irish Clergyman In Far-Off
AustraIia-Eyents of His Life
Recall Another Age.

The Most Rev. DIR. Daniel Murphy, of
Hobart, Tasmania, one of the provinces
of Australia, celebrated the golden jubi-
lee of his conservation as a Bishop the
other day. The distinguished Archbishop
is an uncle of Mr.. Daniel F. Murphy, our
popular City Assessor.
DR.. Murphy, who is eighty-three years
old, is said to be as straight as pine and
enjoying good health. Some of the
events in his life recall another age. He
was made a Bishop by Pope Gregory
XVI. While i'll Rome in 1916 he off
ciated at the obsequies of the Irish states
man and patriot, Daniel O'Connell, who
died in Genoa Ell route to Rome. Arch
bishop Murphy was born in Cork, June
Is, 1915, and is a graduate of Maynooth
and man of profound scholarship. He
has been in India with the British troops
but gave it up for the cooler climate of
Tasmania.
AS an evidence of the great regard
which he has won during thirty-four
years of religious work the people of
Tasmania have erected statue in the
streets of Hobart to his memory. The
Governor of the province, Lord Germans
ton, was at the head of the movement,
and observed that the people did not
want to wait until the good man died to
show him honors.

NATIONAL AMNESTY ASSOCIATION.
What Is Being Done to Secure the Release
OF Irishmen Confined In British Pris-
0ns-Their Condition.

The usual weekly meeting of the Irish
Amnesty Committee was held on Monday
evening in Dublin. Mr.. Troy presiding.
Messrs. Birmingham and Kelly report
ed as to their visit to Mr.. Henry Wilson
in Portland Jail on Thursday last. Mr..
Wilson is in fairly good health, much
better than he was, OH account of being
allowed now to work in the open air. He
is to be released in November next, hav-
ing spent fifteen years and six months in
prison, the six months being extra pun
ishment fer breaches of prison discipline,
which Mr.. Wilson states was for whis-
pering to his poor comrades to keep their
hearts up.
Mr.. Wilson latterly complains of the
action of the Government in his case, as
it was conveyed to him two years ago by
visitor that he would be released soon.
The Home Secretary had promised as
much, and instead of being released, the
Government had made him complete the
full fifteen years and an additional six
months as above stated. Mr.. Wilson is
very much concerned about the men who
will be left in Jail after his release.
These poor men are not in as good health
or spirits as Mr.. Wilson is, and special
effort should be made to have them all
released at the same time, as the effect of
their comrade being gone would perhaps
be the meaus of adding melancholy to
their already prolonged sufferings.
The committee having considered this
report, decided that the Home Secretary
should be written to and asked his inten-
tons as to the remaining prisoners now
in Portland. If his reply is not satisfac-
tory, vigorous agitation will be conf
menced for the purpose Of effecting their
release.

Great Procession.
NEW ERA IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

The 9Th of August, 1864, will long be
remembered in Ireland, and particularly
in the metropolis of Ireland, which wit
messed a sight that has never been
equaled. Although seventeen years had
elapsed since the death of the liberator,
il was not long after that the idea of a
national monument, to commemorate his
great achievements, was preached.
During the seventeen years that elapsed
since the death of O'Connell the English
press asserted with more or less elabora-
ton of argument and pretense of proof
that the desire manifested by the Irish
people for a repeal of the union was but
passing enthusiasm with which clever
agitator had inspired them-a delusion
which could not outlive his time-a folly
which they had outgrown as soon as it
had ceased to be recommended to them
by the persuasive tones of the only man
who could ever have induced them to be-
lieve in it.
These assertions served as a sort of ex-
cuse for the maintenance in Ireland of
domination against which almost the en-
tire population protested; but their CHIEF
purpose was to deceive foreign nations
as to the real depth and intensity of ma
tional feeling. They were utterly false,
as was proven by the hundreds of thou
sands of visitors who came to Dublin to
witness the impressive ceremonies and
prove their fidelity to a noble principle
their adherence to the cause and rever-
ence for the memory of great man who
served their country faithfully, though
he did not achieve the full measure of
success for which he labored.
In the honors paid to the memory of
O'Connell, the unchanging patriotism and
the unfailing gratitude of the Irish race
were nobly illustrated They made of
that day a holiday for Ireland. They
put aside all other things to take part in
movement which would show their
biding fealty to the Irish cause.

was composed of all classes of the people
every trades union of the city turning out
its full strength.
On the morning of the. historic day the
trade unions of Dublin which were to
participate were assembled at their APP
pointed places, while around St. Stephens
Green were congregated the Populations
from Galway, Limerick, Drogheda,
Navan and other cities and towns. At
1890 the procession was formed, the head
of which passed the residence of Daniel
O'Connell.
The procession was headed by O'Con-
nell's Body Guard, closely followed by
the stonecutters, in whose ranks was
drawn the first stone of the intended
monument, and the coachmakers, who
drew the "triumphal car" in which
O'Connell was drawn from Richmond
prison in 1874.
Passing from Merton square, the vast
procession wound along into Clare street
and Nassau street. At the Bank at Ire
land the greatest concourse was assem-
bled, at least $4,000 persons being con-
gregated. Passing by the Exchange the
procession passed into Sackville street
(now O'Connell street,. On the river,
from Carlisle bridge to the point of the
North wall and the Ringsend docks OPP
posite, all the vessels were dressed for
the occasion.
Arriving at the place where the monu-
ment now stands, the late Sir John Grey
read the following address in the pres
ence of the Lord Mayor and other promi-
nent officials "The people of Ireland
meet to-day to honor the man whose
matchless genius won emancipation, and
whose fearless hand struck off the letters
whereby six millions of his countrymen
were held in bondage in their own
land.
"Thus shall this monument teach our
children, and our childrens' children,
from generation to generation, the great
lesson of O'Connell's life. In it, so real
lied, will be embodied, and by it will be
perpetuated, his principles and his policy.
Thus shall the noble image of our Tribune
ever speak from this platform to the Irish
race, teaching them how liberty may be
won-how it may be used with most adj
vantage to all-and how best and most
securely to maintain and transmit it, un-
impaired and untarnished, to posterity."
To this the Lord Mayor replied "a sor-
rowing nation mourned, and still mourns,
over the grave of him whose match
less services and labors are recognized
throughout the civilized world, whose
teachings and principles have marked a
new era and inscribed new chapter in
the history of mankind.

THEATRICAL.
The Buckingham, the Peoples Favorite
Amusement House, Now Open for
the Season OF lSoS-09.

The Buckingham Theater, entirely re-
modelled and refitted, was last week
opened for the season of l89S-99, and the
many patrons who had during the sum-
mer months keenly felt the want of
bright amusement hocked to see the
initial performance, which was Irwin
Brothers Burlesquers. Notwithstanding
the heat, the theater was filled at every
performance, and, truth to say, the num-
Der of fans and ventilators made the in
terror of the theater much cooler and
more comfortable than an ordinary room.
The Buckingham Theater has for a
long time been the only frst-class vaude-
vile house in the city, and the manage
ment has spared no efforts or expense
to maintain and surpass this standard.
The house itself is conceded to be the
prettiest and best equipped in the city,
and probably one of the handsomest in
the country. The bookings comprise
only the first-class combinations, and,
though they have for the past decade
been pleasing Louisville audiences, it is
promised that this seasons attraction will
be far superior to anything yet offered.
The Buckingham is under the able
of the Whallen Brothers,
who are members of the Empire Circuit |
Of vaudeville theaters.
Many of the old staff of employees are
-etained for this season, among them be-
ng Horace McCrocklin, the efficient
reasurer; George Lippold, whose smiling
ace will be seen at the box-office, and
Charlie" Hertzman, who will be in
harge of the press advertising.
