SAFE AT HOME

l.
AS the completed story of the ocean
tragedy puts its finality upon the
fragmentary installments, which have
from day to day reached the public,
the catastrophe loses none of it's hor-
ror. Both in magnitude and circum-
stance it is only the more appalling.
The word dies upon the lips. the pen
falls limp from the hand that at
tempts to describe it.
One, and one single feature, stands
out resplendant. IN silent grief, ex-
ulting, we salute the hero dead They
went down with the flags Of our race
hood flying, each carrying the red
badge of courage on his breast; the
man Of millions By the scholars side,
the gentle old philanthropist hand-in-
hand with the gifted young soldier, fit
ambassadors of our Anglo-SaXon and
Scotch-Irish stock before the court Of
heaven. Evening star shan rise and
set and vesper bell shall ring-eyen
over that bleak graveyard of the
deep-in sad memorial; but they
have safely crossed the bar, and, i'm
mortal, see their Pilot face to face.
We, who are left upon the shore,
behold, aghast, but shouting.

Is there a moral? Shall there be a
lesson? How easy to find, how eager
to wish to find, scapegoat!
Assuredly somebody was to blame.
Was it the sturdy old sea dog that
stood calm and clear of head upon the
bridge, and went down grimly, glo-
riously, with his ship? Well, he at
least has paid the price. Is it the
wealthy and enterprising trans-Atlan-
tic company which has served the
public so long and we'll? Only in dol
lars may the soulless corporation dis
charge it's debts, and in dollars the
White Star must and will. Millions
cannot recall the dead, billions con-
sole the living.
The craze for speed! Aye, there we
have it; on the land no less tnan on
the sea-yet, in the very air above
onward! faster, faster.
as if the idle rich and their imita-
tors, the vain and empty throng, were
not going the gaits of pride and pre-
tention, of enfeebling luxury and gilt
tering show, quite fast enough!
Not a sufficient provision of life

Why did not the helmsman turn her
prov farther to the southwark? He
was sailing farthest south. Why
should he attempt the fatal ice fields?
On the Banks of Newfoundland there
are only ice fields. Why did the ship
sail at her topmost bent? Alas, con-
clusions inconclusive.

den; the many petty Kingdoms of the
Balkan States. Natural, then, was
it FOR the national spirit to enter
Ireland. No doubt the Irish in
America accentuated the longing for
and fastened on Home Rule. They
sent money to the folks at home and
gave glowing accounts of the land
beyond the seas. Again they visited
the old sod and some even returned
to pass the evening of life amid the
beloved places of childhood-while
not forgetting the land of their adop-
ton.
Moreover, Home Rule is at once a
political as we'll as a financial meas
ure. In Ireland there will be many
more political jobs and also heavier
burdens. No one fancies that the
new act will be final. 1t seems
rather the first installment. To us,
we confess, it is strange that no Irish
leader since the Union ever drafted
an Irish constitution. Platforms

gentry of England have no love for
Lloyd George or that the I ondon
Times prints full page, not Once

sale of estates ranging from one

Fortunately the tWo-hours' sail
down the Blackwater was one of the
very few fine days we had Scant
patchworks of vegetation came into
view, but many lawns sloped down
to the waters. Several splendid resi-
dences and a few picturesque ruins
filled the panorama. At Youghal is
the old place of Sir Walter Raleigh,
where the potato was first planted
in Europe and tobacco first smoked.
The town is a popular seaside re-
sort, but this year it seemed empty,
owing no doubt to the rain and cool
weather.
Cork was the first large city we
entered. Of course we saw st. AIMS

tower and played on the chimes some

special benefit, yankee Doodle"
and Marching Through Georgia."
Our next call was at Barney Cas-
tie, not to kiss the stone, for we had
done SO thirty-six years ago, but to
give our companion chance-which
he declined.
In Cork came the first discussion
of Home Rule, which was thereafter
a pretty regular topic. Everybody
is full of it and looking for it's
speedy enactment into law. Two
years at least will pass, so the wise
ones thought, before the glad day
arrives, for the Liberals have many
other irons in the fire. Now what
Home Rule exactly means in not
clear. Without doubt it is not the
repeal of the Union, for which Dan
iel OConnell agitated; nor will it be
the recreation of Gratton's Parlia-
ment, which was a Protestant body.
The old Irish Parliament that passed
out of existence in 1900 by the act
of Union was an English institution,
established for the Pale, those five
districts whose capitals were Drog-
heda, Dublin, Wexford, Waterford
and Corr. Gradually it's power ex-
tended to all Ireland to the exclu-
sion of Catholics. The Irish were in
no sense republican, but monarch
cal. The clan was the rule and it's
chieftain the ruler. Home Rule
seems rather the introduction into
Ireland Of the national movement
that made such gigantic strides in
the nineteenth century, the age par
excellence of king and emperor
making, which witnessed the crea-
ton of Saxony, Wurtenberg and Va
varia as kingdoms; of the German
Empire; of the kingdom of Italy;

From the bow of the steamer, Ire

For this was our fourth visit, and

boy Of seven years. To him every
thing was new, as he remembered
only the house he was born in. To
us, there was little new from with
out, but much from within. AS a
boy we had been at the O'Connel
centennial, 1875, devout Christian,
but now, thirty-seven years after
wards, a devoted, convinced Free
thinker. We noticed differences, of
which curious one was the decrease
of beggars. At former visits they
met us at every turn. This year
only once were we sneered at A

But a painful difference was the de-
crease of human beings. The va
cant spaces and the abandoned homes
told the tole. Surely the falling off
of Ireland's population for the past
seventy years is a phenomenon of
II 81
great tribute to the economic con-
ception of history. For no races are
so fond of their natal soil as the
Irish land yet when it came to the
question of getting on board or
starving at home, more than half of
the 100000 preferred to get on.
For nigh half century, both land
lords and clergy welcomed the flight,
for the landlord found the dollars
sent over by the emigrants good rent
payers, while the priest, flushed
with American gold, foStered the
craze of church building which has
dotted Ireland with huge temples
amidst squalor and desolation. 1t
seems strange, however, that the
argument used by the clergy in their
warnings against emigration, which
have recently been sounded, is the
danger of losing the faith. The
Catholic Truth Society of Dublin
published a pamphlet on "The Eff
fects of Emigration" which should
make the Irish in the United States
reflect a good deal. In Ireland there
is a loud wall over Irish apostasy
abroad; in the United States, proud
boasts of the faith of the Irish, Irish
Americans visiting the old land,
must rub their eyes in amaZement
on learning how wicked the Irish be-
come in the States. Yet we know
that even the Catholic Tract Society
of Dublin understates the loss, for it
is now we'll established on the au-
thority of American Catholics that
fully 100000 persons of Irish
blood are lost to Catholicism in the
United States alone.
On landing at Rosslare we took
the train for Waterford, where our
experiences began. We registered
at the Imperial Hotel, took the rooms
assigned us and the places in the
dining room; all without any bar
gaining. The dining room had two
divisions, Of which one was full of
guests and the other had us two and
a third gentleman. We got the soup
and the fish, but afterwards the

Ireland AS She Looks

CnaC IT was either calling Or getting
no food, we beckoned the walters.
BY this time all the meats were gone.
Bring us the vegetables" They
brought potatoes and caulifiower
stalks, of which the flowers had been
eaten, and finally on a fresh demand,
peas from the kitchen. When pay

head waiter: you would not charge
us with dinner you did not serve
us with The lady cashier, as she
is called in Ireland, asked for an ex-
plantation: ''Why didn't We come out
and tell Mrs. Murray" We ans
wered: why, wasn't Mrs Murray
in there looking out for her
guests
Experiences of one sort or another
were ours in all the hotels we put
up at. 1t was some comfort, on
reading guide books and novels by
natives, and in conversation, to learn
that we were just having the same
annoyances that all travellers in Ire
land must face. To us it seems
curious point that all the hotels, ex-
cept two which we entered south of
the Boyne river, had monarchial
names. There were three 'Imperi-
als'' and three Royals" The other
two were called after their owners.
In all those hotels, however, the real
distinction was believer, Catholic or
Nationalist, and Protestant or I'm
ionist. At the same time, it is note
worthy that the ''Imperials'' and
Royals are all Catholic and Ma
tionalist. South of the Boyne, as
north of it, the other class of hotels
enjoy less aristocratic names-"Met-
ropole," Gresham" ''White House,"
Grand Central" Northern Coun-

Waterford is the city where the
English invader first landed Strong
bows reward was the hand of Eva,
the daughter of McMorrogh, who
united Henry II. to Ireland. There
still stands the Danes Tower, which
was over $50 years old when the
English entered the town in ITO.
Along it's quays, for the town is at
the mouth of the river SUR and
seaport, few ships were anchored.
Grass is growing between the paving
stones along that mile or so of water
front Groups of longshoremen
were standing around in rather
dreamy moods with no sign of light
heartedness. Evidently there was
little work. During our stay, two
events were on The first was the
horse show After a drive around
the town the car-boy brought us to
it. On the way the crowd met us
on foot and en- auto, in jaunting cars
and carts; a few on mounts; more
on bicycles. We looked in vain for
the old-fashioned cloak and hood,
which narly all women wore at our
former visit in 1876. We saw but
one, for the spell of fashion and ma
chine-made stuffs has enchanted the
women of Waterford, or, better, has
made less inroads on their purses.
The second event was the visit OF
"The Antiquarians," who had come
to study Dunbrody Abbey and Tin
tern Abbey, two old ruins along the
banks of the SUR.
