But Little SelfGoyerument Upon Ireland Nationalists to Declare Their Attitude at Convention In Dublin JOHN 1BDM08D DBUIS JODGMBHT The Government Tuesday present nwatted Irish blll to the cd its longnwaited of Commons and to the coun meettry the demands for Irish home rule by the Chief Secretary It was presented Secrea Ireland Mr BIrrell to 0 for tary clln crowded house Prior to the appear auce of this measure it was popular termed a devolution bill but to ly Irishday Irish bill Council bill or even the Compared to the home rule bills of 1886 and 1900 the measure confers little selfgovernment upon Ireland merely giving to the Council control of the eight departments now managed by Government boards Twen tyfour members of the Council are to be appointed by the Crown and while the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is given power to nullify its retains control measures the Crown of five of the eight departments including constabulary The control of this branch always has been a thorn in the flesh of the Irish peo pie It is natural and quite to be expected that this halfway measure is wholly pleasing to no political party The radicals are disappointed that I the measure falls short of actual home rule and the Irish members are even more disappointed with it The Irish leaders however are maintaining a diplomatic attitude until they have time to study the ProvIsions of the bill and learn the sentiment of the people A national convention will beheld i1 Dublin soon to decide upon the policy of the Irish party The laborites will support the measure be cause they are all home rulers The floor of the hous was packed and the galleries ldo notable asp semblnge including a number of peers the vlslalng colonial Premier of Ausliralla and several Bishops Bourke Cockran of New York was an interested spectator Members of the Irish clergy were conspicuous in the galleries Mr Birrell rose to an oritorial height when he described the present system of Irish administration He called Dublin Castle a failure saying There it stands remote without a friend and melancholy while the current of Irish life sweeps past No Governor had entered he continued the gloomy portals of Dublin Castle without a sinking of the heart almost equiva lent to abandoning home Nobody said Mr Blrrell believed that the present system of the administration of Ireland was sound in principle or economical It has been switched off from the great current ol the national life of the people Under the proposed new scheme the Irish members of Parliment would continue to sit at Westminster in undiminished numbers but he hoped hereafter to find a more profitable channel for their energy in manag ing local affairs at home It was the intention of the bill to establish a representative administrative Council consisting of eightytwo elected and twentyfour nominated member the latter to be nominated the first year by the King and thereafter by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Elected members would be elected on the local Government Board fran chile The Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant would be exofficlo member of the council which would have complete control of the powers vested in the depart ments to be handed over to its care The President of the council would be appointed by the council Itself and the Chief Secretary would have the right to attend the meetings If the existing officers of the departments were elected by Hhe 1 council they must be given full pensions Exercise of the power vested in the departments would be controlled byreason pf the coUncll and the jm prcmaoy of the niperlal Pajliment would be safeguarded by the power given to the Lord Lieutenant to re serve his consent to any results of the Council and eight departments which would be made subject to the new council The departments coming under the control of the proposed Irish Council would be the local Gov ernment Board Department of Agrl culture Congested Districts Board Commissioners of Public Parks No tionalEducation and Intermediate Education Inspectors of the Re formatory wind Industrial Schools and the ItegiystrarGeneral The Supreme Court Judicature Royal Irish Constabulary Dublin Metropolitan Police the Land Commission and the Prisons Hoard would remain under the control of the imperial authorities Un ider the bill peers and women could i vote and any subject would be able to hold the JUIce Bf Lord tenant I without preference for any reli pious bellerI I John Redmond the Irish leader said that until he and his colleague had tliiie to consider every feature of thVblir and elicit Irish public opinion in jcffftrfl tot no one could expect 1 dhive toeft ittier him to give either deliberate or final judgment Mr Gladstone proposed to solve the problem by the lull and It frank concession of selfgovernment a and autonomy to the Irish people but what the present Government offered tholresent fered was neither home rule nor ft substitute for it The Irish still demanded home rule and rested the I claim on their historic right and the admitted failure of a century of British government of Ireland As home rulers Mr Redmond thought they were justified in regarding the schema as consistent with the maintenance of their aspirations und he proceeded to apply certain tests to the scheme regarding giving general and effective control to Irish public opinion over the mutters which the bill dealt with He said that he did not like the nominated element elementSACRED SACRED HEART Children Give Rev Pather Walsh a Pleasant Surprise One of the

Lots King His Death Recalls Stirring Chapter of Chinese Exclu I sion Movement Labor Leader Who Made Pol itlcians and Financier Tremble 1 INVENTED SEVERAL UNIQUE PHRASES There came to San Francisco a little more than forty years ago a sailor boy tanned and toughened by years spent on the seas unprepossessing in appearance unknown and without education or money Five years later this same sailor boy had raised himself by sheer force of character to the leadership of an array of workingmen he had gained a natinoal reputation and the political and financial kings of San Francisco spent many sleepless nights because of him The sailor lad was Dennis Kearney Of Oakmount County Cork Ireland who died two weeks ago at his home in Alameda of old age Atone time his death would have caused a revolution among the working classes of San Francisco but only a few friends accompanied the body to the grave and his passing away did not even cause a ripple of excitement When Kearney was nine years old he left home and took to the sea Ho sailed it many years and finally landed in America He sailed from several Atlantic ports among them Boston and in 1868 came to San Francisco on the clipper Shooting Star He eventually became mate of this vessel at the age of nineteen He followed the sea for some time I thereafter and finally in 1872 went into the drayage business in San I Francisco At that time the anti Chinese movement had commenced and Kearney attended every meeting held to discuss the exclusion of the Chinese He entered with vigor and spirit into the controversy and his fiery utterances attracted the attention of merchants who employed him He was a sort of boss drayman for the Custom House Gradually the merchants stopped giving him work Kearney continued at the meetings and was up and down constantly trying to make himself heard His speeches were somewhat uncouth as he had not been educated and he could not express himself fluently He did have though a wonderful command of strong phrases that caught the workingmen thatj Hull a young newspaper man who was reporting the meetings became interested in this rugged character of the seas and took him characterI I He realized that Kearneys fiery address and commanding manner contained great possibilities adI I wrote several speeches for Kearney and the sailororator delivered them with great effect Then followed the famous Sand Lots meetings which were held in vacant ground on which the City Hall later was built Kearney had a remarkable memory He committed the longest speeches in a 1 few hours and would not vary a word from the text In a short time Kearney outstripped his intsructor and became a powerful and convincing speaker on his own account lift did not have to rely on his reporter friend for material Then it was that he began to invent his unique phrases describing corrupt politicians and financiers His chief theme was the Chinese question With the curt phrase The Chinese must go as his motto he hammered at this subject ten years and he was the prime promotor of the Geary bill which exists today in the enacted lawsOn October 29 1877 Kearney held a large meeting on top of California street hill where Leland Stanford Charles Crocker and Mark Hopkins had elegant homes In front of the unfinished house of Mr Hopkins a large bonfire was built and within the hearing of those millionaires Kearney addressed his followers denouncing the capitalists Ife dcclalred he would march through the city with his followers and compel the politicians and financiers to give up their illgotten gains There are many in the East who remember Kearney as well as he Is remembered In California When he was at the zenith of his power ho essayed to convert all the country to his belief which was that labor should rule capital and that employers should be subservient to the workingman During the Chinese agitation he was the most powerful champion of the exclusion movement It was ho who invented the phrase The Chinese must KO and he coined words to describe the capitalI I ists and employers who hired Chinese labqr The waning of his power came when he attempted to convert the Iwhen He spoke in New York at Cooper Institute in 1887 and his denunciation of respectable capitalists was nQt received with favor and the better class of laboring then fused to tolerate him In 1888 he addressed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in advocacy of additional legislation to restrict Chinese immigration exhibiting a map showing how low the Chinese were herded together in San Fran Cisco and saying that 75000 China men then occupied the pioneer district of tlieeltyOn this occasion Kearney referred to Congressman iHItt and said if Hitt did not withdraw his opposition he would stump his district to defeat him and would have his followers pelt him Of recent years Kearney had been little heard of Other men of keeper OtherTen I minds and better judgment took up I uphis his work and completed it Ho bad I five children and became moderately wealthy Two of his daughters went on the stage stageHAPPY HAPPY CHILDREN Receive Sacrament of Con flrmatlon Prom Bishop Mc
