IRELAND'S WRONGS.
Preliminary Arraugemonts--The Address
of Parnell. ...--....- ..-,

Last night the popular wave struck this
! city. For some time our Irish citizens have
contemplated giving word to their sympathy
for their suffering fellow countrymen in
| some formal way, such as would
show themselves heartily enthusiastically
and sympathetically in accord with all the
people of this country, irrespective of ma
tionality.
To this end meeting was held last night
at the Office of the Catholic Colonization
Bureau. Or more correctly, the
meeting was held to initiate move
naent to Ehold mass meeting in behalf
of the Irish tenantry, at present under tho
despotism of British landlords and soldiery.
The meeting was largely attended, and the
best representatives of the nation in this
city were present. Rev. Father Stanley and
Gallagher were there. Hon. Dillon O'Brisn
was in attendance, VIM. L. Kelly, Hon. w.
P. Murray, j. G. Donnelly and others were
in the crowd and took part in the meeting.
At O'Clock the meeting was called to
order, and an organization effected by the
election of Hon. Dillon O. Brien to preside,
and Hon. g. M. MCCARTHY as secretary.
Following this Mr.. O'Brien stated the
object of the meeting, which
has been summarized above.
Mr.. O'Brien urged appropriate action and
was earnest in the expression Of his deep
sympathy and indignation.
Secretary Mccarthy followed by reading
can appeal of the Irish National Land
League" This address is promulgated as an
appeal to the Irish race, by a grand mass
meeting held in Dublin Oct. 21st, and
is signed by the Hon. Charles Stew
art Parnell, M. p, and many others.
The appeal is stirring one, and lays bare
the oppression under which Irish tenants
labor. The "bad times'' do not come alone
from bad seasons, but are largely attributed
to extortionate rents and misrule. To quote,
the address says:
=. To meet the opposition, and guide the ma
tional movement for freeing the land of Ire
land, assistance of two kinds must be forth
coming; the one, and most essential kind, is
an organized development of earnestness, and
q resolute attitude on the part of the GOO, 900
landless farmers of Ireland. as we'll
as those whose daily bread depends
upon the prosperity of their father.
land, in demanding their just rights as
guaranteed in the settlement we propose. The
second aid required is money. Neither has
ever been wanting when the national spirit of
our country and the patriotism of her exiled
sons have been appealed to in patriotic cause,
and we are confident they will not be
withheld now when the very soil of
Ireland is the object we desire to free, and the
solved shall be abolished for ever. None of
our race have had such bitter experience of the
wrongs of landlordism AZ those who have been
compelled to seek abroad the food denied them
at home, and none should more readily and
generously sympathize with those who are re-
solved to retain firm grip of their Irish home
steads than the e1iled who were forced by in
iuuitous laws to leaue them.
In the great shelter land of peoples ten mil
lions of the Irish race have found home. The
system we aspire to abolish has banished them
from Ireland. Benefting by laws which afford
equal protection and encouragement to all cit
liens of the great republic of America, they
can appreciate the efforts which aim at afford
ing equal incentives to progress to their crushed
and persecuted kindred here.
Not alone to our fellow countrymen in
America, but to all whom evil laws have scat
tered the world over, as well as to all other ma
tionalities who synpathize with a wronged
and impoverished people who at last are re-
solved upon remedy for the evils affecting
them, do we call for an advocacy of our cause
and support in our efforts to achieve its snc-
cess.
In constituting ourselves committee for tho
purpose of carrying out this work, we are ami
farmers and those depending upon the soil of
Ireland to lift themselves from the misery and
social degradation in which they are plunged,
into position where the notice to quit and
the rack-rent will not operate against their in
dustry, security and contentment. We are in
fuenced by no party spirit in making this
appeal, nor do we in any way propose to
existing bodies or organizations employed
in other departments of national labor. To
free the land of Ireland from the unwise and
unjust restrictions which initiate against its
proper cultivation and prevent the develop
ment of it's full resources, should be labor
above tho customary influences of party or
sectional strife, and to be guided alone by mo-
tives of disinterested effort for the benefit of
our common country, and the Improvement,
contentment, and prosperity of the greatest
number of our fellow countrymen.
Following this, quite discussion occurred
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of raising immediate
relief funds to aid in preventing starvation.
To this several interposed objection, at
least so far as saying that the end to be
subserved was not attainahle by this means.
Assurance was given that the church was
able to care for the poor, but the purpose
was to devise means to prevent this oft re-
curing oppression, which rendered aid
necessary to prevent starvation. -.
This part of the discussion was interrupt
ed by Mr.. Mccarthy, who offered the follow
ing resolution:
RESOLVED, That mass meeting of the citi-
zens of st. Paul be called for the purpose of
extending moral and material assistance to the
Irish people in their present effort to establish
a peasant proprietary and obtain the soil of
Ireland for the Irish people.
To further the ends of the resolution
President O'Brien appointed the following
as committee to arrange for the mass meet
ing:
Rev. Father Stanley, Rev. Father Gal
lagher. D. O'Halloran, Jeremiah Kelly, Will
liam P. Murray, John Cuniff, William L..
