One Hundred Years OF Irish Union.
London Times, Jan. ,.

London Times, Ias. ,.
On the opening day Of the nineteenth
century, the Act Of Union, which made
Great Britain and Ireland politically
one, came into operation. A hundred
years have elapsed since that great
constitutional change. Ireland has
been, it may be said, during all that
time, thorn in the side OF the British
Empire. How far the responsibility
for these troubles rests with the lmpe-
rial Government, and how far with the
Irish people, including the landlords,
we do not undertake to say. On the
other hand, il is clear that, at the end
OF the nineteenth century, the material
condition OF Ireland is infinitely better
than Il was when the Act of Union
became the law oil the land. We know,
OF course, that the hostility to the Union
has been developed in many different
quarters. We cannot deny that, even
down TO our own times, there has been
persistent feeling in Ireland that the
prosperity of the people IS not to be
reconciled with the British connection
IN any shape or form. Public policy and
popular passion have all along been in
conflict. The Act of Union may have
been passed in defiance, as has often
been alleged, OF the will OF the nation.
50 far as il was ascertainable at the time.
Then the representative system was
ridiculous and corrupt, and It needed
great effort Of will to bring politicians
OF the day up to the point of understand
ing that there was a sense Of political
responsibility outside ofand above mere
party sentiment of the day. But the
Union has been, and It still is, "goiDg
concern" 1t has held the United King.
dom together during more than one
period of "storm and Stress" 1t has
prevented breach in the policy Of the
nation at more than one critical time.
Looking back at the history OF the past
hundred years, can we consider with
complacency what might have happened
If there had been an autonomous
Government in lreland1 Even though
the Home Rule policy has been defeated
the belief that the security of property
will never be impaired under British
rule has been unsettled TO a disastrous
extent. There is hardly the confidence
we could desire to see that the law oI
the land will be moved, when the need
arises, to assert itself against lawless
combinations.

It is an interesting coincidence that
Yesterday, which saw the birth OF United
Australia, was the centenary of the
creation of the United Kingdom, Our
Radical friends will doubtless say: A65iE
omen. They have so convinced them
selves that the Act Of Union IS mistake
because Mr.. VIM. O'BFien says so, that
they do not trouble to look back to the
story OF Ireland before that Act. or all
the centuries that have elapsed since
England conquered Ireland the century
just past has been beyond the possibility
Of question the best for the Irish people.
When the eighteenth century was
closing Ireland was In a state OF active
rebellion, and il was through Ireland
that our enemies hoped TO destroy
England. The opening ofthe twentieth
century finds Ireland not only entirely
at peace with England but furnishing
some OF the finest soldiers that fight in
the Queens armies. II is commonly
said that under the Union the population
Of Ireland has declined. The statement
is one OF those half truths which IS the
worst form Of lie. During the first fifty
years Of the Union the population oi
Ireland increased enormously; It has
since almost as rapidly declined, so thai
the net result is to leave the population
at the end Ofthe century very little NOR,
than it was at the beginning. To attri
butte this complicated phenomenon
which can be observed also in man
rural districts in England, To the Act c
Union is a piece of partissnship. 7h
real failure Of the Act Of Union lies i
this, that il has not yet won the allie

II II rather an interesting fact that no
one proposes to celebrate the centenary
Of the Act OF Union between Great
Britain and Ireland, which came into
force one hundred years ago today.
Even those Of our countrymen who
profess to regard the union as blessing
seem curiously undemonstrative in their
loyalty TO things as they are. The fact is
too patent that century OF agitation
and discomfort has done nothing tC
justify the act with which we opened it
IN Dublin, We have tiled to govern
Ireland against the will of the Irish, ard
we must caudidly confess today that we
have made no approach whGtever
towards winning their consent. We
began on too narrow basis, and a
hundred years have only made painfully
obvious what little sympathy might
have foreseen. This Act Of ULion was
a contract between England and the
English garrison in Ireland. Itreceived
the approva Of minority, and went not
without a vast deal Of bribery and
backstairs intrigue, The Irish people,
the Celtic, Catholic majority, were not
consulted in 1900. We have been forced
since then to put political power in their
hands, but they have never forgiven us
the extinction Of their nationality
carried out in the days when we regarded
them as serfs or outlaws whom we
condescended to govern in our own
interests.

The Act OF Union which King George
III the insane English monarch, whose
conduct drove the Americans into the
successful War of Independence, pro.
nounced TO be the hapPiest event Of his
reign, came into operation this day one
hundred years ago. Some formalities
connected with this transaction, whose
provisions OF force and fraud are burnt
into the hearts of the Irish race, 2
scarcely now Tecollected. The Great
Seal Of Britain was delivered up and
AEAdANAs auA a lev DNdl VI NsAAAblAG WAS
given to the English Chancellor. A
change was introduced into the Royal
titles, and the Royal arms, and The idle
and offensive title Ofthe King of France,
which the English Sovereigns ha d
hitherto maintained, was dropped, while
a new standard containing the three
orders OF St. George. ST. Andrew, and
St. Patrick. was hoisted in London
Edinburgh, and Dublin. The absolute
extinction OF Irelan6's legislative inde.
Pendence by the Act of Union and her
utter impotency in legislation for herself
thus effected may perhaps be more
yividly realized If we bear in mind the
following circumstances. The union did
not produce a fusion OF the English and
the Irish Parliaments, or anything like

Since 1866 the population OF our
country has increased a hundred
fold, and our manufactures have
been quadrupled. II this fact be
taken into consideration in con-
junction with the further fact that
in 1866 the revenue from special
taxes (licenses) and from manu-
lactures alone amounted to $780,
3oA7s9, it will be readily perceived
that fully four-fiths Of the ma
tion's revenue sources remain un

pear still more clearly il we

beer and the total revenue derived
from our industry.

thus characterizes Gutenberg's epoch

movable types was the greatest dis
tributive invention that ever was or
probably ever can be made. It cir
culated knowledge among the chill
dren of men, and plays much the same
part in human life as does the trans
mission of force in the world of phys
les. 1t was marvellous how quickly
thought was circulated even in the
age OF manuscripts. A book like st.
Augustine's City of God was soon
copied thousands of times. and
Travelled through Europe after
quicker fashion than most printed
books can today reasonably hope to
do; but st. Augustine occupied a
unique position, and hand-copying.
though great trade EMPLOYING
thousands of scribes, could never have
fed the New Learning or kept alive
the Reformation. The age of Gluten.
berg was an age of ideas, and de-
manded books, just as our day is a
day of mechanics, and demands cheap
motion, telegraphy, and telephones.

marked by tablet. Go and gaze
upon it. and think of the New York

The FAIR All FONGS
PRETTY GIRLS, HALF CHINESE,
ALL MARRY WHITES.
RICH DowRy FOR EACH
illinois Soldier Boy En- Route to Ma
Mia Lands at Honolulu and
Promptly Falls in Love With One,
of the Oriental Charmers--Some
An Fong History.

Lieut. Dougherty's parents, who are
well-to-do residents of Mound City,
Ill, will welcome the Chinese bride of
their son. They have heard that Miss
Martha All Fong, of the famous thir-
teen All Fong sisters of Honolulu, has
gone to Manila. there to wed Lieut..
Andrew j. Dougherty who is in the
service of his country.
The bride-to-be of the Illinois SOL
der is one of the prettiest of the tai
ented children of pure-blooded Chi
nese father, who married the daugh-
ter of Portuguese sailor living in
Hawaii. The natural shrewdness of
All Fong made him wealthy man.
His daughters are well known as the
beauties of Honolulu and their magni-
ficent house is said to be fitted with
the contest hooks imaginable, where
the Chinese maidens.
1t was in one of these hooks that
Lieut.. Dougherty, on his way to Ma
Mia, told Of his love to pretty Martha.
He is attached to the Thirty-seventh
Infantry, U. S. ", and his regiment on
its way to Manila stopped at Homo
lulu. 1t was brief stay, but, like all
other Americans of good standing, he
was introduced to the All Fong family.
Martha caught his eye with her be-
witching smile, and as Lieut.. Dough-
erty looks like hero in his uniform,
the first sight of each was welcome
one to the other.
Under the blue Hawaiian skies the
friendship soon ripened into love. An
engagement was announced, but the
soldier had to continue on his way to
the Philippines. Once there, he found
it impossible to go to Honolulu to wed
the girl of his choice, so she decided
to go to him.
She took passage on the transport
Lawton in the middle of February and
the wedding will occur at once. 1t
will be notable event in military
circles. When Lieut.. Dougherty re-
turns to his home he will find ready
welcome from his family and towns
men, and the best society Of the place
will be at the feet of the Chinese
bride-and they are very small, by the
way.
1t will not be the young womans
first visit to America. She took a
postgraduate course at Mills college,
near Oakland, CAL, known as the Vas
sar of the Pacific coast. She is slen-
der, of average height. and in her
cheeks of dark olive healthful red
glows. She is Fl years old.
Lieut.. Dougherty comes of one of
the best families in southern Illinois.
His father owns large stave factory.
Young Dougherty entered the Univer-
sity of Illinois at Champaign, but in
his junior year was expelled for refus-
ing to divulge the names of his asso-
ciates in a class rush. He fought at
San Juan hill and Ell Caney and was
made lieutenant for gallantry.
While the Chinese maidens and
wives were looking with pleasure to
the addition of a brother to the family
they were cast into mourning by the
loss on the Inflated steamer Rio de
Janeiro of the husband of Helen,
San Francisco lawyer.
1t was in 1897 that William A. Hen
