Bill Sought to Annex Townships
for Government and Taxa
ton Purposes.
TORIES WOULD HAVE LOST OFFICE

A cable dispatch to the New York
World of Sunday says the city of Dublin
is frantic with indignition over the emas-
culation by the House of Lords committee
of bill promoted by the Dublin corpora
ton in Parliament to enable it to extend
its boundaries by taking in numoer of
townships which have grown up around
its borders.
These townships, which are practically
part of Dublin, are mainly residential,
and in all except one the Tories have
control of the governing bodies. They
gain all the advantages of proximity to
the city, of which 80 per cent. of their
residents use the roads and enjoy the
public facilities; but because the Dublin
corporation has a Nationalist majority
the townships iercely resist any inclusion
within the city boundaries.
The bill passed through the House of
Commons. where it was bitterly fought
for twenty days, though the corporation,
to disarm the townships, conceded them
a preferential tax rating and offered them
far larger representation in the proposed
new governing body of greater Dublin
than they were proportionately entitled
to. In the House of Lords the bill was
referred to a committee, presided over by
the Duke of Northumberland, with four
other Peers, all except one of whom are
Unionists. The ground landlords of two
f1a rN0f,rrftNo1 fA.u,tclnffAc xuhtClx ~ &c
proposed to include in Dublin had to be
Peers-the Earl of Pembroke and Lord
Ardilaun-while some other Peers also
own land in the other townships in ques-
ton.
The case made out for the bill was
overwhelming, but after fifteen days
consideration the Duke of Northumber-
land, without giving any reason, an
nounced that the committee could only
pass the bill on condition that the town.
ships be excluded, The other powers
sought in the bill are unimportant. So
the decision is equivalent to a rejection
of the bill, after the corporation had spent
5000, 900 promoting it.
Private bills are supposed to be dealt
with by the committees purely on their
merits, and the vast majority of them
are; but in this case the Unionist Peers
had chance OF obliging their Irish col
leagues while dealing blow at an Irish
Nationalist corporation, and they could
not resist the temptation.
The bill comes back to the House of
Commons on Tuesday for an agreement
with the Lords amendments, and the
Nationalist party are endeavoring to gel
it restored to its former shape; but if they
succeed it will certainly be thrown out by
the Lords.
Bitter resentment is felt throughout
Ireland at this scandalous abuse of it,
powers by the House of Lords, and the
only hope of the Dublin corporation now
is in the support of the Gladstoniar
party in the House of Commons, though
a short time ago the corporation refused
to give site for Gladstone memorial.

FATHER VAN HAS RESIGNED.

The Rev. G. A. Vanbroosteuberghe, for
the last six years rector of St. Charles
church, near ST. Mary's Station, in Ma
rion county, has resigned his charge, and
will take well earned vacation. Father
Van will sail August 8 on the steamer
Westernland for his old home in Bruges,
Belgium, where he has two sisters living.
He will also visit his brother in Brussels,
where the latter holds a Government
Office. Father Van expects to take a
gco1, long vacation on account of his
health, which is seriously impaired. His
congregation gave him up very unwill-
ingly, his cheerful readiness to serve
them at all times and his unfailing good
humor and geniality endearing him alike
to young and old. He was never so happy
as when in the midst of his altar boys,
who all feel they will lose good friend.
Father Van has been working in the
Louisville diocese for nearly twenty five
years aud ON account of his health has
determined to take long rest. His sue
cessor is the Rev. James Pike, Of Daviess
county.
