THE ARCHBISHOP OF TUAMS

and plain demand for selfgovernment for Ireland.
He said


The most welcome inauguration of the hundredth
year of the birth of o'Conne the usrous benelactor
and Lberator of his nation, hail, in union with you
and of thousands of the children of Ireland
of the most significant and cheering presages of its APP
preaching autonomy, exercising the right of selfgov
ernment which people ever lost to any extent with
being in corresponding degree treated slaves
To this nvarabe law Ireland has not been hitherto
exception, nor can it hope to be exception,
long its incontestable right to self-government
continues to be exceptional and so unjustly with
held 1t of his extraordinary and heroic
exertons realize the blessings of sefgovernment for
the country of his birth that oConne has so endeared
himself to the Irish people, who have given proofs
of the immense value they set this self government
by thus honoring its devoted champion with such mag
nifcent national celebration y


THE EXAMPLE oCoNNELL-


How proptious the influence of noble examples in
training the performance of important services
we have striking example, among many others, in
the eminent writer of ancient Greece who, when yet


youth present at the grand general assembly of
the Athenians which he heard tho history of Hero
read and honored with the applause of the Ahe
nan people. The honor bestowed the father of
GrecIan history by the assembled States made such
impression that in his laudabe desire to excel in the
same department, Thucydidcs became the eloquent
historian of the Peoponnesian The distinguished
honor you have this day bestowed the memory of
the Liberator will raise up host Of young ami
mated with the ardent desire of readng in his foot
steps and following his example, and with what
full results we sufficient calculate from that
popular rule of arithmetic amarly known by the name
the of ''rule of three" If the energy Of
eeeded in lifting the inert mass of nation out ofa state
of torpor and nfusng into it the life of freedom felt by
thousands of its children, who calculate the
magnificent results to the peoples prosperity when
those thousands of eemen placed at the starting
point in the to be run to reach the goal
Of the complete legislative autonomy of Ireland2


HINT FOR ENGLAND


Is not astonishing that Englishmen with any knowl-
edge recollection of their earlier history should
feel affect to feel surprise at the determined resolve
of our countrymen to assert their legislative ndepend-
enceP In those times, not yet Of remote antiquity
when England formed dependent province of France,
was she content patiently to submit to the
foreign yoke, or was she not to her
honor, restless and impatient, until re-
leasing herself this alien rule she the un-
controlled exercise of her native nsular freedomP By
what strange violation then of all the rules of logic
as well as right she condemn in the Irish people
the same identical line of conduct which she herself
gories as forming of the brightest pages in her
own annalsP We have been accustomed TO hear tho
men and times of 'S2 held up objects of eulogy
to the admiration of the Irish people Far be
it from me to wish, much less to endeavor, TO
pluck solitary wreath from the rich garland that
encircled the brows of the honored of the cele
brated year of Eightytwo But the policy of those
times such as calculated to command reverence or
to call forth any zeal for its maintenance OF resusca
tionP No doubt there jealous ardent advocates
for liberty But what kind of liberty, may be per-
mitted to inquirer narrow selfish, jealous, crippled
and esided sort of liberty such prevailed among
the little tyrants Of ancient Greece boasng the free
dom of few citizens but making no account of the
miserable slaves by whom they outnumbered
calling that state by the Of freedom while them
solves were free This was not the kind Of Freedom
