THE IRISH MOTHER.
(Reprinted by request }


Il wonder if she is still in the Old Land, the
blessed Irish mother, who put cap around her
ccmey face between the 'twenties and the thrties'
and covered her brown waves from sight
ITO her simple soul marriage meant consecra-
tion the man who chose her need not concern him
self about the little tendernesses; her affection
as fixed as the stars He might be unreasonable,
eXacting, nay in trying times, he might be cruel,
but her faith in the divine right Of husbands was
mistaken.
"She would have the children reverentia to
their father, even if she should have to romance
little to effect it. and with what loving sophistry
she explained away his weakness
"She never understood constitution, political
or physical; but when sickness in her family,
her aphetic care made the poor broth strengthening
and the bitter medicine sweet. No sleep, rest,
peace for her while the shadow of death lay across
the threshold; and how hard it to die under her
beseeching eyes But if summons had really
come she would hold cruciix to the dying lips,
and the beloved son daughter carried the sound
of her voice to heaven, for what Irish mother but
could say the prayers for the departing soul!
-Not even the story of her country's wrong could
embitter her guileless nature. The mantle of her
charity covered even the bloody Sassenach, and
sometimes secretly, not daring to let it be known,
she recommended them to the Virgin Mother. If
her belief in her husband was wrong, who could

were always white boys IN their mothers eyes. now
ever dark and desperate in the sight of those who
dwell in palaces Her unquestionng trust and ear
nest teaching kept them pure and honest IN their
early DAYS. and later, when they discovered that
their dear mother was only simple, illogical inlet
tered woman, their loyalty and devotion deepened
to find what wonders she had worked with her few
talents. What tragedy Shakespeare could have
woven round her haunted all her life by phantom
shin at anchor in some harbor, waiting till the chill
dren of her love were old enough to take passage and
leave her foreverl How sorTowful must have been

and women!

no one is by falling on her knees and lifting her
bonds in such intensity of supphcation that they
touch the hem of His garment, and her blessing

faith has made them whole.

"THE LIVING BREAD"

What shall we do with our dead!
The dead who have not died
Who meet us still in the very paths
Where they once walked by our side
Not those that we love and mourn,
AT rest on a distant shore,
But the lost yet. living women and men
Whom we loved-and love no more.
There are shroud and flower and stone
To hide the dead from our sight,
But these are ghosts that will not be laid
They come twixt us and the light;
And the heaven loses its blue,
And the rose has worms at the core,
Because of the living women and men
Whom we loved and love no more.

beautiful German story relates how one dav
little girl named Jeanette witnessed great
army review. Thousands upon thousands of spec

emperor was to watci the passing regiments. While
Jeanette was seated on the stand she saw feeble
old woman trying very hard to get where she could

Then she gave up her seat to the old woman
and went and stood in the crowd. But while Jean

to see courier of the emperor. covered with gold
lace, elbowed his way to her side and said:
Little girl, his majesty would be glad to see you

When the abashed child stood before the en-
peror, he graciously said:
"Cos>e here, my daughter, and sit with me-
saw you give up your seat to that old woman and
now you must remain by my side"

seemingly helpless disciples whose earthly rilgrim

GOVERNMENT BY Commission

The Hilo Tribune has taken up, not
the defense of, but the fight for gov
eminent by commission in Hawaii and
in its issue of the 18th inst. processes
to see all kinds of signs that a change
in that direction is imminent.
To begin with paper designates the
present system as one of jobbery,
wastfulness, multiplicity OF sinecures
and travesty on local self government.
1t must be admitted that its home
town furnishes some reason for such
sentence, but if its glasses are so
weak that the paper cannot see beyond
Puueo or the Four Mile bridge it
ought to consult an optician A nor
NAL pair of eyes would, however, be
able, without the aid glasses, to see
Maui, Oahu and Kauai and that they
have got rid of the jobbery and waste
fulness that luxuriated before local
self government was introduced, and
that superfluous officials are as scarce
in these three counties as snow in
Kailua. If it made use of a strong
pair of lenses it might discover some
thing of interest in the line of govern
ment by commission in the Philip
pines. 1t might be surprised to find
the most fragrant jobbery, for instance
in the water supply business; the
most astounding wastefulness in sup
plies for hospitals, schools, etc. and
the payment of such salaries to a host
of Deputy Clerks Assistants servants
that there is no money left for i'm
provements and that there wouldn' t
have been any to speak Of if the troops
stationed there had not been employ
ed in making a few roads in the
neighborhood of Manila. And al this
in spite of the residents being taxed
higher than in any other country
known.
The reason that Hawaii County, tho
lacking a government by commission,
has slide down to the Philippine rung
of the ladder is not very difficult to
discover. 1t is caused by the refusal
of a great number of it's most intel
ligent and influential men to help it
upward. There are a great many men

for thought when the first hue and cry
is GHOSTS"
Said an occult student this morning
to a Star man: over enthusiastic
people are sometimes almost hysteri-
cal in the way they recklessly identity
persons as so-called mediums. We are
all mediums, in a sense, but how many
know what is medium in the ordin-
airy acceptance of the word? If, mind
you / say if, there were any psychic
phenomena in the Pecarick house as
the result of the presence of me-
dunn, why should the Spanish girl be
said to be the medium? May Pecaricll
not be the so-called> medium? 1t strikes
me that there is a great deal of the
impulsiveness Of the mob in the
greedy way the Pecaricks' story of Els
peranza being a medium was swallow
ed. I have seen the girl and | believe
if she told all she knew she would re-
late the story of little domestic rum
pus, real or theatrical spontaneous or
for a purpose"
Mrs. Pecarick says that while the
furniture was carrying-on she realized
that an evil or a curious spirit, seek
ing Something, was upon or in the
house and she called out, demanding
that he or she or it make known his
her or its wants and then quit fool
ing. But no answer came.
There were no manifestations last
night. The ghost probably realized
he had the wrong number.

One is waiter, and another a clerk,
and all come from classes which are
not used to field labor.
Then too when they left Manila
they were given a very different i'm
preston of what they were coming
here for than the condition which ex-
listed. As one of them said he expect
ed to come over here to work and
study. To learn to talk the English
language, to study the manners and
customs of Americans and then TO go
back to assist and aid his own people
were the objects of his trip. He has
found that working in a caue field is
hardly conductive to higher education.
Secretary Mott-Smith heard their
whole story, told him by one of their
number who talks good English and
who as acted as interpreter when the
Secretary wished to ask questions. He
then told them to return on Thursday
morning and he would let them know
what he had been able to do about
getting them work at a better rate OF

that at Waialua there were a number

try.
Let the ministers attend to reli-
gion, the doctors to health and the
statesmen to politics. The result is,

time. defrauded, and made laughing
stock before the nations.
DR.. Hale for nearly a century has
made it a rule to notice questions
which ought to interest every good
citizen, and to send a note to some pa
per about it. He edits half a dozen
departments, and writes scores of let
tiers if only to thank some writer for
what he has written. Such men are
doing Christ's work in the world.
Gladstone, as busy as he was,
dropped letter now and then TO his
favorite paper, in reference to some
question which came up; religious,
social, ethical, literary,-all matters
of interest to him because he made
it his business to be interested.
In England where they have bet
ter city government and generally
cleaner administration of public af-
fairs, it is the question for every in
| telligent subject to discuss all ques-
lions in the newspapers. But at home
! where there is much more average
| intelligence, men are too selfish
and too occupied with their own af-
fairs to get into the way of thinking
about any abstract question. And
| they go so far as to misjudge those
who spend little time over perma-
nent values. The truth of the mat
ter is, he is the real citizen and bust
ness man who gives a part of his
| time to a consideration of important
matters; who does not keep his in
| formation to himself. Roosevelt is
a man OF that stamp Despite the ridi-
cule of less adequate citizens, he goes
on saying his positive say, and sug-
| costing what he believes to be eXpe-
dent Religion, race-suicide, nature
writing-why not? iPty more of us
hadn't some ideas ON these various
subjects, and the manliness to ex-
press them. For it does take cour-
age to say anything about anything,
and to do so is to make yourself liable
to saucy letters, which, however, do
not hurt you in the end.
Chas Read wrote over 5000 letters
to the newspapers on current cues
tons, and he probably helped many
times that number to see straight.
Suppose ones point of view is dis

Suppose one get the picture a lit
tie foreshortened!
What better way to be corrected III
time by some better informed person
(and they are always to be found?
You have never presumed your
ideas to be infallible. and they are
subject to revision.
Indeed, keeping ones ideas to ones
self is only an Grant form of conceit.
There are hermit souls that live

In the peace of their self-content;

we, the Filipinos presenting to you

ment which we are going to relate this

Our object are to come and ask you

because today we are actually perceiv-

1t might says that we were looking
works already around Honolulu, but we
can find nothing so that we came with

can get our living.

that our islands, govern by the United

eyes and gave our education, so since
It is so, we are hoping that you can
pity us, and defend our miseries.
