Though Lancaster In net Celtic city and the names that leek down uien you from the big business houses or our principal streets have only here and there an Irish sound, thn large and onthtisiaatie audience assem hled In the court house last evening proved flint down-trodden Ireland has many trlends here. The meeting was under the auspices or Lancaster branch Ne. C'.H, Irish National Loeguo or America, and through the wwin wwin hlage el earnest Intelligent men was a Jarge sprinkling or ladlea who took M mueh In terest and applauded as vigorously the geed Klnts nmde by the spoakers as the represen tatives or the stonier sex. It was a row minute after 8 o'clock when Presldeut 11. J. Housten, or the local branch or the league, prosented te the meeting the names or H. .1. McGrsnn ler presiding efllcer and It M. llellly for secretary, who were unanimously chosen. Mr. MeOrann, en tak ing the chair, thanked the audience ler the high honor conferrod upon him, and spoke of whst a praiseworthy work It was te aaslst the oppressed. The hand or oppression has been heavy tipeu Ireland for the past 000 years, mid her sons have ever found themsolvea happler elsewhere than at home, because thev own net a feet of their native soil. Hut Ireland has found a champion and a deliv erer. We are here te-ulght te ask you te con. tribute te that Irish parliamentary fund, whoreby Parnell and his celleagues are enabled" (e keep up the great struggle for I rl-.li lllierly. Mr. Sled rami then Introduced as tlw llrst sjieakeret the evening K. lv Msrlln, t(., whose sword had been un sheathed lu battle for his own country and who was new prejiarcd te de equal service for oppressed Ireland. K. K. Martin' Adilr. The speaker began by a roferenre te the fact that his forefathera came te lancaster county te rest, alter having been hunted through Kurepe, drlven by relentless perse cution rrein the valleys or the Alps te the valley or the Rhine, from the lthlne te the Scheldt, and from the Scheldt te the Dela ware. It was his right and privilege te ex tend sympathy te the Irishman in his pres ent struggle In this spot el exile or our common ancestry, llecall the Irishmen who Teught In the great American Kevolutien, Mad Antheny Wayne, Generals Mtnwarl, llnnd and Montgomery, tllance iiver the Celts whose names appear In the Declaration of Independence. Ills almost a matter et forgotten history Uiat the inhabi tants of llelfast In Ireland were the llrst In Kurnpeteslde with tee American colonies agaliiKt the mother country, and Right IIeu. Sir Jehn I'arnell, an ancestor et the present I r!sh leader, openly avowed hla interest In the American cause. Contemplate the Irish valor exhibited In the civil war when 170,000 Union Heldlera were Irishmen. Thegreat difficulty lugetting at the true Inwardness or the Irish situation Is due te the fuel that It must come through English glasses, colored by F.ngllsb prejudices. Te Jehn Hull an Irish patriot Is at ence a dynamiter, and he would have the world believe the same. The historic, features of the Irish question were tersely reviewed down te the tline when In 180(1 Irelaud still had the MOinblance of a Par liiment or her own. The speaker declared that the destruction of the separate rule was the great grievance against w hlclt Parnell and Ills colleagues were protesting. After the Revolutionary war nngland,weak and worn, was willing te concede Ireland everything. Hut Ireland was populous and propereus, and this was net te Kngland's purpose. The Infamous Castloreagh and his trlbe lietrayed the nation In I seu, upending 11,000,000 te rob her et her iodepeudence. 'With the extinction of her soparate gov ernment, the history or the Irish Parliament liecame the history or Dublin Castle. Dublin Castleis what? It is the government Kng Land gives te Ireland. It Is the mask of the tioudageel agre.it, braveand oarnest people." Dublin Castle step net at jury-fixing when deemed needful for her purpose. It controls the toer guardians, prisons, lunatic asylums, the whole system of primary and Interme diate Instruction and police; aud the men who Oil these positions are usually selected hucauftoer their known hostility te Ireland. I'AIINRI.I.'S TACTIfH. Mr. Parnell's tactics are these or peaceable agitation. Net evon would he have his fol lowers enter Inte Justifiable quarrel with the Orangemen. In him the hedge-row assassin and thetuldnlght Incendiary find no coun tenance. None were mero proatrated than Parnell when liberated from Kllmalnham Jail en May t's 1982, the news was flashed everywhere that Lord Frederick Cavendish and Under .Secretary Burke had been assas sinated In t'lirenlx Park, Dublin. The speaker drew an apt lessen Irem tills Incident and the horror lit caused 'that the labor ele ment, new en the verge or revolution in this country, must beware lest they outrage the AmerlcauHOUHOerralrplay by resort te the villainous methods of the dynamiter and cemmunard. ' De you say peaceable revolution cannot meet deep-seated cases 1 I point you te the established Church of Ireland, or which Sidney Smith said : There Is no abuse like It in all Kurope; in all Asia; in all the dis covered parts or Africa ; and In all we have heard 'et Timbuctoo.' " Yet It ylelded te peaceable agitation. Heme lule will be next. The remarkable fact is undisputed that 1,900 persons own two-thirds et Ireland. ' or the 000,000 tenant tanners or the seli, 600,000 are merely tenants at will or their holdiegs. Hut the great hardship or the Irish tenantry Is the absentee landlord, iie disports hlmseir in foreign cities, at the same tlme fixing the rent rer his Irish pessseMlnn se that it will cover almost the entire product or the aell. This means "the itoer beuse, the emigrant ship, . or worse yet, the gaunt and hungry form or lainlne looking Inte a thousand cottages." In the lamine of 1730 ene-fifth or the popula tion perlsued. The same year Kngland sub-fe-rlbmi n-half million te the Lisben earth- rjuake sutlerers. Wblle the famine or 1810 was raglDg Ireland preduced enough te reed and clothe double the number el her Inhabi tants 1 imsu PATIKNCK. Te me the wonder' lias net been that Ireland for centuries should be in a atate or chronic revolt. The tience or Us people te my iiilud is Ilia marvel or history." Thirty millions of Irish money are annually re quired te maintain that colossal bloodsucker, the absentee landlord. Why should net England fellow Germany's example T The Prussian peasantry, by the abolition or feud alism and landlerdism, are new the happiest r iieeple, anil they were ence an eppresseu 1 Krin's citizens. Had England been Just te Ireland thelatter would be oneor her etoutest bulwarks. If lustead of harassing Irish industries, she had festered them, all would have beeu dlllerent Ireland de uianded Lu vain the treatment accorded te Canada, the Australian provinces, New foundland and the Cape orGeod Hepe. "What is the cause or all thlaT The malady of rxils rxils Keverutnent What the remedy T Shall I epitomize? Ireland ler the Irish,' 'Land for the landless,' Ne rent and home rula.' " The Irish cause demands a friend en the Irish side or HI. Cleerge'a channel. Mr. Uladstene is well enough en the Kngllcb aide or this sheet or water but he la net sufficient. There must be an Irish legis lature te settle Irish questions.

Mr. Martln'e address wax punctuated by repeated applause and tils peroration was brilliant. ,Mr. McOrann then Introduced W. U. llenael, the next speaker. W. V Hansel's Address. Mr. Ueniel oned with a quotation Irem Peel's closing speech as prime uitnlster In 1I0, when he said i "Thore ought te lie com plete equalization between England and Ireland in all civil, municipal aud political rights." He brought the greetings or the Friendly Knights or Ht Patrick or Phila delphia, around whose festal beard te-night gather Democrat and llepubllcan, Prohibi tionist and (Iroenbacker ; Catbella and Proa Prea byterlan clink glasses, Quaker and Episco palian touch elbows, Methodist and Uaptlst, with common pride recall that in the early settlement of the country, Pennsylvania's gates opened widest te the flood et Irish Im migrants; ten te one before the Revolution, or these who came here were of Irish bleed and hair el all from 181t te K.W One-third of our alien born popu lation is of Irish birth, and the Irish In America are one-thlrd as many as Ire land's population.

America has always heard the voire or freedom whether It came from the Clreek struggling out of the clutches or Turk ; from Poland dying In the threes of partition ; from Jew, baited by law and burked at by dogs, through centuries or oppression; from the Italian, singing te his red shirt or French man overturning the Hastlle. These free states have Indoctrinated the nations, until every people's struggle for liberty Is ours; "from lteak- te peak the nittllriK crags anion): Iuii ilie lire tbundrrt Met from one lune cloud.

We are for Ireland because at last she Is united for these things. Her pcople at home and abroad knew but one party, the Nation alist ; one desire, Heme llule; ene leader, Charles Stewart I'aniell. Why? Hecause tlve hundred years et English domination has rosulted only lu a condition or "habitual poverty and occasional famine," "with scanty population and still scantier sub sistence." K(enscr, 300 years age ; William Petty, 00 years are; Dean Swift, IM yeare age; Wm. Hewltt, Sir Hebert Peel. Jehn Hrlght In lftIO, and (Had stone In ISTy, wpre cited as witnesses te the ruinous laud system and mlsgovernment of Ireland; and te the truth that "local gov ernment and land laws must occupy afore- most place in tuetneugiita ei every man wue aspires te be an English legislator." Even the Londen DaUy Telegraph declares that English statesmen must " strlve earnestly te eraulcate what Is the root of Irish dlscontent the land svstem. landlerdism has been net only an tutor fullureln Ireland, but It has aggravated every evil that has been native and racy of the soil. The dopeudenco of the peasantry ou the land Invested the landlord with what practically amounted te power of life mid death." New the weakness of Ireland has coma te be her strength; horacatterod emlgrauta have grown te thirty or forty million of people In all parts or the world, upholding the arms or her new leader. Earl Spencer aald the Irish policy must be coercion or concession : and coercion had been tried and falled, England, alter repeated denlals, had granted the dis establishment of the church ; compensation for eviction ; a commissioner of rent, and the enlarged franchise. She would yet concedo an Irish Parliament and a new land law. The coerd ve policy always would tall. They may "make a solitude and call It peace" ; but "They never fall who die In a great came. Though years elapse Ami ethers .hare ax dark a deem Tbuy but augment the deep and sweeping thought. Which oterpeH or all olhers snd conduct The world at last te Freedom." l'arnelllsm means no separation, nor "dynamlte" methods. It means a union with the British empire, such as Canada aud Australia have, or somewhat similar te that which Ireland herself had irem 1782 te lSea The United States had tried alien govern ment upon some of the Southern states, and It was a melancholy failure. Even slavery would have been cheaply eradicated by pur chase. THK I.ANIl QUUSTIO.V, A better land system must fellow consti tutional reform. " A man who Is te have a voice In the government et the country should net make any contract which would makehim dependentnn thellberallty or fore-l-earanceofany ether man."

Protestants who rear the predominance of an advorse religious element forget that n rattan and Mitchell, like Parnell, were Protestants ; two-thirds of the Hovelutlon lata or 1782 were non-Catholics.

Can we net fancy "the harp that once through Tara's halls Its soul el music shed" tuned te new melodies : "The nations have fallen, but thou till art yeutiR t Thy sun U but rising when ethers are tot. And though slavery's cloud o'er tby morning hath hung, The full inoea of frpedem shall shine round thee yet." The music and the fragrance of spring are trembling In the air.

Mr. Uensel then read a letter from Parnell acknowledging "had It net been for the prompt and most timely asslstance which reached us almost dally from Amerlcaditrlng the progress or the olectleu campaign, I fear many el our nominations must have fallen through for want or Hinds."

MIm Cleveland Draws the Una Uetween Modest and Immodest Toilets, A friend or Miss Cleveland in Bosten has given te the press the following letter in reply te some recent criticisms of decellete dresses worn by the mistress of the White Heuse at official receptions : 'I am very glad you have spoken te me about this matter, for it gives me an oppor tunity te say te you, and through you per haps te ethers, what I have long wished, but have bad no opportunity te say. The news paper statement with regard te my im modest dress and Its influence In encour aging 'shocking scarcity of waists and sleeves' in ether women's dress has been sent me several times, with accompanying comments, but always anony mously, se that I have been unable te reply had I deemed the animus of the communi cation honest enough te Justify an honest re sponse That has net always been the case ; but te-day I received a note from a person who speaks of hlmseir as an aged clergyman, who signs his full name te tlie communica tion and seems te be genuinely concerned and friendly, althengh I scarcely can recon cile the "true Interest and true respect" with which he has given ft, apparently, te the statement which forms the occasion of bis pretest "I should hardly feel true Interest or true respect for a person whom I believed te be do ing what the newspaper slip represents me te be doing ., using the brier prominence or my position te encourage habits in dress Snd manners which are subversive of Whatso ever things are pure, lovely, honest and or geed report' Snch, I believe, the immodest dress of some few society women te be, and against such Immodesty 1 have made that si lent pretest which It is every woman's right and duty te make by having my own dress waists cut In a style which, se far as my mod esty Is concerned, I should be quite willing te have all worcen.to whom this style et dress Is becoming and comfortable, fellow. "I appreve of evening dress which shows the neck and arms ; I de net approve et any dress which shows the bust Between the neck and bust there Is a line always te be drawn, and It Is as clear te the most frivolous society woman as te the anatomist The line need never be passed, and a tashleaable woman's low-necked evening dress need never be immodest If it is se, It is because she prefers It te be se. "It Is wholly false, se tar as I have ob served, that a shocking scarcity of waists and sleeves marks the gowns or society women. 'This Is sadly and painfully true of a few so ciety women,' it is shocking, nauseating, re volting and deserving el the utmost denun ciation en the score or morality, beauty, health and every ether consideration which geed men and women aheuld conspire te pre serve and exact There Is need of a very few words en this subject and no argument. Any American woman can wear the waist of her evening dress up te the lobes of her ears If she likes. There is no queen te command her appearance in low corsage. 8 he can also, alas I se contrive her dress that by the ex posure of her person all true social ethics aud (esthetics as well, are revolted. Between the two there Is an appropriate and beautiful and modest mean which all can, if they will, fellow." Miss Cleveland's anonymous correspond ent adds; "These sentiments are these or every rellned lady in geed society. The criticisms which have been made se freely en Miss Cleveland were partly from the class or correspondents who are instructed te dis parage the administration ou all points re gardless of truth and Justice. There are un happily, bouie such, and they are partly, un doubtedly, the honest opinions of critics un accustomed te the usage of geed society, and therefore unable te make distinction In the styles of dress which Miss Cleveland indi cates, and which every person of gentle breed ing understands."
