TIM ,,HEALY REMEMBERED • THROUGH HIS BETRAYAL It is a grim and horrible thing that if the name of a man should survive it will be becauseof hatreds and be- trayals. Better for that man that bis name should not survive. So we say with the career of the late Tim Healy in mind. It is true that it ended in dignity and serenity. He became the first Governor-General' of the Irish Free State. For years be- fore his death he had withdrawn from party strife which for 30 years 'before had been the very breath of ids nostrils. Blit it is not by those closing years that he will be remem- bered. The Qnly incident of them that we recall is that he spoke with `heat to somebody who had sneered about the King of England. Probably it •was De Valera who drew from him a flash of the ancient fire. "We know 'the pedigree of the King of Eng- land," he said, "and he is a gentle- man." Here was the characteristical- ly bitter suggestion that the pedigree of De Valera was not so easily read, De Valera being somewhat of a cross- bred. Here was the old sting that was of the very essence of Timi He&.ly, whose words cut like whips. Tim Healy was early attached to the Parnell movement. At the time he was a journalist, and was singled out by Parnell from among many en- thusiastic young journalists to be- come his secretary on Parnell's first visit to the United States. For a long time the relations between the two men were of the closest and most cordial. It was Parnell who made smooth the path of Healy to enter Parliament, and Parnell admired the courage and determination of this young assistant. When Healy first entered the House he was as un- eouth and objectionable a figure as Kier Hardie, who wore a cap of the type which Sherlock Holmes was to make respectable. Qiiealy was con- ventionally attired, but when address- ing the Speaker he insisted upon keeping his hands in his pockets, and bis general speech was a prolonged snarl relieved by vicious snappings. He had plenty of wit, plenty of cour- age, and as time went on plenty of knowledge. In fac-t there was to come a day when he knew more about Irish affairs than any man in any party. But poisoning it all was the venom of a deadly hatred. So long as this poison was merely injected into the system of Irish landlordism and the English politi- cians who supported it, it did not interfere either with Healy's useful- ness to the Irish Parliamentary party or his popularity in Ireland. It was when it was turned against Parnell that he shocked and alienated most of his former friends. We are not among those who are prepared to say precisely what was the origin of Healy's feud with Parnell. We have before us two volumes of his remin- iscences, but believe that the task of wading through them for this single fact is too onerous, even should we be able to find• the fact, which is open to doubt. Gertainly there was some waning of the men's friendship before the famous Piggott case, and the charges that Parnell was respon- sible for criminal acts in Ireland. In the trial that followed, Healy was one of the defendants. But he was not entrusted with a brief by Par- nell. This was an open humiliation to him for he was acknowledged to be one of the best lawyers of his day, and there was no other man in Eng- land or Ireland, perhaps, who was so well equipped to undertake the defence of Parnell and the party. There are those who find in this calculated slight of Healy by -Par- nell the reason for the enmity be- tween the two men. Our own idea is that something must have gone be- fore to prompt, Parnell to take his extraordinary course. It may have bad something to do with the liaison Parnell was carrying on at the time with Mrs. O'Shea. It is certainly not true, as others have said, that the quarrel arose because Healy's pur- itanical conscience revolted at the re- lationship exposed. But it is prob- able that after Gladstone, and the English Nonconformist conscience to say nothing of the Irish hierarchy, had turned against Parnell on grounds of morality, Healy came to the con- clusion that Parnell'% leadership would hurt rather than help the cause of Home Rule. It was on these grounds that be brake definitely the old friendship, and offered Parnell and Mrs. WShea an unforgivable in- sult at a meeting of the Irish lead- ers. T. P. O'Connor was rriticizink Gladstone's action when 'John Red- mond interrupted with "He (Glad- stone) is the master of the party." Then Healy hissed, "Who is the mistress of the party?" Parnell, whiter even than usual, retorted "That cowardly little scoun- drel there, who is an assembly of Irishmen dares to insult a woman." Thereafter it was impossible that there should be peace or a pretence of peace between the two even. Par- nell would not resign and though his party was divided he stumped Ire- land to retain bis parliamentary fol- lowing. Wherever he went Healy followed, adding insult to insult, of - iii mar J dr Vu, jw' ia�.ihG?�.a,„)a � a' ah cat», u w,,a;?,w a ten 'l;'ed, .:aa d every i " l a •tilas�kt- ened.

When the war broke out, he took the Bridal► side, and rbecame a recruiting agent. 'Later on he showed sympathy with Sinn Fein in which his nephew, Kevin O'Higgins became a power. In the end, to the amazement of gods and men, he was found to be the best a- vailable candidate for Governor-Gen- eral of Ireland. And so he entered the famous Viceregal lodge, which was immediately nicknamed "Uncle Tim's Cabin." ZURICH • Council Meeting. — The regular meeting of the council of the Town- ship of Hay met at the Town Hall, Zurich, on Monday forenoon, April 6th, 1931, with all the members pres- ent? , The minutes of the previous !'meeting were adopted as read.
