Mr.. P. j. Smyth, afraid to face the county
which he continues to misrepresent, went
down to Tipperary at the beginning OF the
his scandalous revolt. Anony NOUS placards
had been Issued inviting the public to as
semble in thousands to welcome him and
to manifest their contempt for servlle
press" The answer to this appeal was a
demonstration in which about q thousand
persons took part, and which is said to
have been distinguished amongst other
things by q remarkable absence of onthu
siasm. The truth is, We suppose, that
most of those who were present attended
oot of mere curiosity.
The annual meeting OF the Board of May
nooth College was held at Presbyterv, Mari
borough street, on Wednesday HIS Emil
nence Cardinal Cullen presided, usual,
and the other prelstes present mum bered
nineteen, including the Archbishops of Ar
msgb, Cashel, and Tuam. Some routine
business having been transacted, their lord
ships proceeded to fill up the chair of Irish,
vacant by the death Of the Very Rev. Dr..
Taliy. Their choice fell upon the Rev. DR..
Logue--a scholar whose competence will
not be questioned, and whose pI OCCASIONAL
career, we feel sure, will reject henor on
the institution to which he is attached.
The result of the first effort made to rec
tify the registry in Carlow is of q most gra
tifying character. We may briefly say some
230 votes have been added to the popular
force on the electorate, and that the roll
now contains an absolute majority Of voters
favorable to the national demands. As usual,
had scattered their objections
broadcast but, ankle what had happened
on former occasions, the persons objected
to attended In large nUmbers to prove
their claims, and were successful. For this
important victory to the County Carlow
Registration Society, our excellent contem
poraYy the Cdr50tc Post, aud, though last
not least, the Catholic clergy of the county,
deserve the hearty thanks of every patFio
tic IEishman; and we hope that having
achieved 50 much those varions agencies
will not relax their Efforts till they pas IN
.&e place of their present representatives
some other men more in harmony with
heir political views ana aspirations.
Our feliow-countIy usep in Great Britain
appear determined To leave their mark in
,ne impenaing municipal elections in that
Oar readers already know the
steps that have been taken TO put Home
Rulers into three Of the most important
wards in Liverpool; We are happy to soy
that those steps seem likely to be crowned
with triumphant success, and that similar
action Eas been taken in Dundee, in Jar
row Tyre, in Stafford, and other places.
1t is not intended that tho subject of Home
Rule shail be introduced every day into
the English corporations but it is consid
cred desirable that as large a number as
possible of representative men in England
and Scotland should be open advocates of
the Irish national demand, and we for our
port, thoroughly concur in this opinion.
The action of the Recorder of Dublin in
giving no new licenses for public houses,
and in declining to sanction transfers as q
matter of course has become contagious. AT
the various licensing sessions in the prov
inces during the week the magistrates have,
generally speaking, set the aselves to the
task of diminishing, as much as possible, |
the number of public houses. In come |
places, indeed, such a course was the only |
one that could have been decently adopted. |
To mention one fact Of many, it came out |
1T the quarter session in Ballymote few |
days ego tEat there we're actually more |
Than twenty establishments for the sale of |
drink In that email town, and as many |
more in the still smaller town of Tobercur- |
