SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And tho good that we can do.

Mr W. A. Mo Arthur, M.P. for North Cornwall, delivered last night one of the most admirablo addresses on the Home Rule question we have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He rightly attributed the opposition which Mr Gladstone is experiencing from a con" siderable section of the English Liberal electors, to ignorance of the present condition and past history of Ireland. Wβ believe that no man of fair mind who reads Irish history can come to any other conclusion than that the troubles of that unfortunate country are due solely to bad government —go- vernment without sympathy for the people,and administered by and for the landlord class. The whole administration is in the hands of nominees who represent the. landlords. As Sir Eedvers Buller observed before the Irish Commission, there is not much law in Ireland, but what there is has been framed for the benefit of the land lords, and the people have never re ceived the smallest concession or re dress for their burning grievances with out violent agitation. Mr Me Arthur reiterated with emphasis the statement made by Mr Henry George , , as the re sult of his Irish tour, that my people who would tamely submit to such wrongs and to such a system of go vernment would be contemptible and unworthy of sympathy. The Irish have never submitted to it; eighty seven coercion Acts since the abolition of the Irish Parliament have left them more determined than ever not to sub mit to it, and though the whole of the Irish members and half the population were lodged in gaol with Mr O'Brien, the country would only have so much the stronger case against the atrocious and tyrannical system which has deci mated the population and brought ruin and misery upon a fair land. The arrant folly of this blind resort time after time to coercion for Ireland is one of the most wonderful things in modern English history. Not one political leader or party, but Conserva tive and Liberal alike, with fatuous and feelpless stupidity, have tried this extraordinary prescription for making Ireland contented and happy. Undaunted by failures by the score, heedless of the promptings of con science and justice, deaf to entreaty, with their senses wilfully dulled by over-mastering prejudice, they have persisted in aggravating instead of healing Ireland's wounds. It is true that, inch by inch, concessions bave been wrung from the British Parliament, but these hm& failed to reach the seat of the disease, »nd it was only when half-a-century's experi ence had taught Mr Gladstone that no remedy was possible but

the natural one of allowing the Irish people to govern themselves that he placed himself at the head of the Home Rule movement. By that act, the ultimate triumph of Home Rule was assured, ty Lord Aberdeen stated, the Liberal party can never go backwards. Home Rule must come, and the quicker the more complete and generous the form in which it comes t!r- :K>re certain it is to assure the ij;: : : ...'.;* of Ireland.

i : ; -mong English people who have i>" '"-quaintance with colonial self government there should be an in herent prejudice against a separate Parliament for Ireland, and a lurking suspicion that it necessarily means separation, we can understand; but that colonists, who enjoy perfect free dom themselves, who would take up arms at a moment's notice to pro tect their liberty against coercion by the Mother Country, should cherish such feelings is very extraordinary, and shows how long habit, prejudice, and association will cling to a man despite the plain teachings of experience and his better judgment. The coercion of the Poles by Russia excites his warmest indignation, but no feeling of sorrow moves him when he reads of the evioted tenantry of Ireland, and the shooting down of men who had assembled for the purpose of holding an orderly public meeting which would have been per fectly lawful in any other division of the kingdom. He sees a great nation like the United States enjoying perfect State autonomy, yet fighting for the Federal bond, but he cannot believe that the same thing is possible, or would be beneficial, to the United Kingdom. Prejudice, ignorance, and indifference are the three great bugbears that pre vent the attainment of Home Rule by Ireland, but with intelligent men like Lord Aberdeen and Mr McArthur, whose sympathies we might naturally expect to be on the other side, en gaged in the dissemination of sounder views upon the Ixish question, we may rest assured that the conversion of the whole of that section of the Anglo- Saxon race whose instincts are Liberal to the Home Rule creed will not be much longer delayed.

THE HARBOUR BOARD INQUIRY.

We are glad that the members of the Works and Tariff Committee of the Harbour Board yesterday resolved not to proceed with the inquiry into the very serious allegations made with re gard to dangerous racing by two of the North Shore ferry steamers until thov have obtained direction from the' Harbour Board on the question of holding the inquiry in public. No one but the veriest fool would dream of accusing the Board or Com mittee of desiring to burke investiga tion, and the course pursued cannot, by. the utmost stretch of ingenuity, be converted into a "hole and corner" proceeding. The complaints that racing had been indulged in by the rival steamers, with Captain Burgess's report thereon, were published in full and were dealt with in the ordinary way by the Harbour Board, viz., referred to a com mittee for inquiry and report. On the face of it there was no reason why the Works and Tariff Committee should view this as being materially different from the hundreds of other subjects that are referred to them by the Board for report, and so they proceeded in their usual way to meet, hear evidence, and deliberate in private. The public im portance of the subject might have suggested to them the propriety of allowing representatives of the press to be present; but this does not seem to have occurred to them, and really there is a covert insult in the implica tion that non-publicity would affect the fulness and impartiality of the com mittee's inquiry. To some extent this inquiry is on the same footing as a preliminary investi gation into any shipping casualty, which may result in a legal prosecution being instituted, and in all such cases the preparatory proceedings are very properly conducted in private. There is considerable reason in the statement of the committee that a partial publica tion of evidence before the inquiry was completed might tend to defeat its object. While the Committee were thus quite justified in declining to depart from the regular and orderly course of procedure, without specific instructions from the Harbour Board to that effect, it is to be hoped that the latter body will give the necessary authority for having the proceedings open. The circumstances to be inquired into, concerning as they do the safety of the travelling public are so important as to justify a de parture from the ordinary rule. A good deal of public interest has been aroused in the matter, and it is neces sary, in order to allay the natural alarm experienced, thatpeopleshouldhave the fullest opportunity of knowing the merits of the dispute, and being satisfied that their interests are well looked to by the Harbour Board. To obviate the necessity for a two-days' sitting, and remove the objec tion to the publication of in complete testimony, it would be advisable that the committee should arrange to meet in the morn ing, invite the press representatives, and get through the business the same afternoon, so far at least as the taking of evidence is- concerned. In the matter of their deliberations the public are not so much concerned as in the recommendations which, they may make to the Harbour Board.

We have received a letter from "Human ity," severely criticising the action of fAie Magistrate in sending the two boys to prison for orchard-robbing ; aleo another letter from M Fruitgrower," suggesting that

the fruitgrowers of the colony should pre sent Mr Baddeley with a testimonial. " Materfamilias " discusses the subject, and concludes that severe punishments are required to put down larrikinism, and she cites the common practice of breaking the windows of empty houses and other acts of wanton destruction. She thinks that "if the law is broken—yes, to the extent of one pane of glass, wantonly smashed, or any other transgressions against society and God's laws—the love we bear our children should nerve us rather to let the punishment be severe, and thus prove a lesson to them in their youth, than any maudlin sentimen tality be the means of our wrecking our children's future good." The subject has, however, already been pretty exhaustively discussed, and with other subjects pressing upon public attention, the correspondence must be now closed.

His Worship the Mayor has issued invita tions for a dinner which he intends giving to the City Council officials at the Albert Hotel on Tuesday evening next, the 29th inst.

Mr D. S. Macarfehur, M.H.R., telegraphs to Mr John Buchanan, Chairman of the Financial Reform Association, thanking him for his message, and stating that his motion in the House was talked out on Wednesday, but he will find means to bring it on again.

Mr W. Cruickshank is to-day in much the same state as he was yesterday there being apparently no change either for better or worse.

The necessary arrangements are being, made for Mrs L. F. Davies's first public concert in Auckland, which will be given in the Choral Hall on Friday evening, the 9th prox. Those who have been privileged to hear the lady will need no stimulus to patronise the concert, while those who have not heard her may rest assured that they have missed a rich musical treat. In order to render the concert thoroughly popular in character, the tariff for admis sion has been fixed at 3s, 2s, and Is. The plan of reserved seats may be seen at Kidd and Wildman's early next week.

In connection with the suit brought in the R.M. Court by the Onehunga Borough Council to recover half the cost of a boun dary road from the Mount Roskill Highway District, it should have been explained that the amount claimed was half of £18 18s, and the case was settled by the Mount Roskill district agreeing to pay £7 4s 6d. The Board had paid £5 into Court in settle ment of the claim.

Another old settler has passed away to the bourne whence no traveller returns, and another familiar link with the past is thqe snapped. We refer to the death of Mr Edward Lippiatt, the well-known florist and nurseryman, who died yesterday at Otahuhu at the age of 69. The cause was paralysis, which first manifested itself about twelve months ago. Since then the deceased had been assiduously attended by Dr. Leger Erson. Mr Lippiatt was widely respected, and his reputation as a nur seryman, and particularly as a most success ful cultivator of roses, has for many years penetrated to every part of the province. He was at one time in charge of the Acclimatisation Society's gardens, and probably no man in Auckland has taken more prizes at local horticultural -shows. Deceased leaves a wife and grown-up family. One of his sons has graduated B. A., and is a teacher in one of our public schools, while two other sons carry on the nursery garden at Otahuhu.

In Trinity schoolroom last night the married ladies of Devon port gave a very enjoyable dance in return for the bread-and butter dance of the bashelors which took place some time ago and passed off with such eclat. The schoolroom was nicely decorated with flags, foliage and flowers and the refreshments—provided by the ladies themselves—were of a recherche character. About 50 couples were present and very agreeable dance music was dis coursed by the Brothers Hannken. Mr W. H. Fen ton was assiduous in the discharge of his duties as M.C.

Major Harris was in command of the South Franklin Mounted Infantry at Coi. Lyon's funeral, not Lieut. R. F. Webster, as stated in our report. Aside from the local attraction incidental to the presentation of " Rob Roy " for the first time in Auckland by amateurs, and the object for which the performance is to be given, the bare fact that Mr Lachlan McGowan sustains the rdle of Bailie Nicol Jarvie should prove of itself a considerable attraction, for throughout Australia and New Zealand his impersonation of the Glas gow Magistrate has always been considered to be without an equal on the stage.

At the Police Court to-day, before Mr H. G. Seth Smith, R.M., James Kenny was fined 10s and costs, or 48 hours' hard labour for having been drunk. The case against Charles William Langstone of failing to pKK vide for the maintenance of his four chil dren was, on the- application of Sergeant Pratt, deferred for amonth. Charles Davies, captain of the Kirkdale, was charged with aesaulting a steward on the vessel The accused was not in attendance. Mr W. J.. Napier, who appeared for the com plainant, said that the accused objected to come on account of the summons not being correct according to his own opinion. His Worship pointed out that the case could not proceed, as the summons had been served by the prosecutor himself. The case was accordingly allowed to stand over until next Monday, in order to have the service amended. The Newton caning case has had the result of causing one of the Committee of Newton East School to resign his seat. Mr F. Jeune dissented from the resolution! arrived at by the majority of the Committee upholding the action of the head-master, and has therefore resigned his position.' The local Board of the Mutual Life Asso ciation of Australasia have'determined to, signalise the opening of their handsome new premises in Queen-street with a dinner, which will be given on Friday evening, the 9th proximo, in their own premises.

The first meeting of the Deronport Fire Brigade took place last night in theßorongh Council office, and was well attended. Mr J. Lilewall, who presided, stated that he had consulted Superintendent Hughes con-. cerning an engine for the new brigade, and that he had recom mended the purohase of a machine similar"to that in possession of the Auck land .Salvage Corps. The only one pro curable of that make was one which was the property of Messrs Duder Brothers, and which they had expressed their will ingness to sell for £25, at the same time offering a donation of £3 to the Brigade Fund if a bargain were struck. The price at which a similar one could be imported was £25. After some discussion MessrsFull james, Dunning, McDowell, Lilewall, and Ansell were appointed a committee to in spect Messrs Duder s engine with a view to purchase, with power to act. It was next decided that Messrs Sibbin, Williams, and Lilewall should ascertain the cost of a hand cart to carry the engine, hose, and ladders, and report at the next meeting. The election of officers was then proceeded w»th and resulted asfollows:—Captain, MrSydney FuUjames; hon. captain, Mr T. Ansell; senior foreman, Mr J. Lilewall; junior fore man, Mr R. Logan; secretary, Mr J. Spraggon; treasurer, Mr J. Dinsdale. Messrs Williams, Fulljames, and Dunning wore appointed a deputation to wait upon the Borough Council in regard to: the erection of a shed. The meeting then adjourned till Friday evening next.
