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

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

Ireland has found a champion and a deliv

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."

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

TlIK I.KSSON Of AMKHIL'A.
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;

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

William Petty, 00 years are; Dean

ruinous laud system and mlsgovernment of
Ireland; and te the truth that "local gov

the Londen DaUy Telegraph declares that
English statesmen must " strlve earnestly te

net only an tutor fullureln Ireland, but It has
aggravated every evil that has been native

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

acknowledging "had It net been for the

There arrived In Lancaster, en Wodnesday,
James aud MaryMcCaln, who describe them
selves as evicted tenants from the County
Hal way, Irelaud, and who are penniless and
without work. The credentials they carry
with them seem te establish their claims te
the consideration of the charitable. They
walked from Philadelphia in search or work,
and are willing te make themselves userul in
any direction. A letter which they exhibit
fromeueol their children In Irelaud is quite
pathetic. It Is stated therein that "Peter
Morgan was going te take up our rami,
but the neighbors of the village sent him the
picture of bis coffin and he then get afraid and
would net have anything te de with It" In
another place is the sad Information that

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."
