Not succeeding in making mash in the west
part Of town, they followed the ladies as they re-
turned home. In the central part Of town, reach
ing q certain house, not bearing the best OF repu-
tations, and which the ladies had to pass, our
sweet pimps stopped in front of it and addressed
the ladies concerning it. Not obtaining an all
swer they continued to follow their victims until
they reached their home When the ladies had
gone into their dwelling the puppies even then
were not content but getting out of their hack
proceeded to walk up and down in front of the
house, continuing their insulting performances,
until exhausted. Such energy is quite remarka-
bic, but it's nothing particularly novel to the
aforesaid, who frequently amuse themselves in a
similar way Of a sunny afternoon. This is a clear
case for the police.

Presently they saw a couple Of pretty girls be-

SOME TALK
The business of the meeting being finished, the
evening was devoted to speeches. As the sub
ject is an interesting one synOpses may be read
able:
B. J. MCGINNIs was the first speaker called
for: misunderstanding has gotten among the
English that money is being raised to make q
fight againt them. This is not true-the English
workngmen are as much interested in this ques
ton as the Irish. The agitation is not agans,
the English but against the system Of govern
ment that has made Ireland what she is to-day
The Irish feel aggrieved, naturally, at thei
wrongs; bat the money collected goes not to Fe
mans or demagogues but to the relief Of the
Irish, and our treasurer will see that it goe.

letter from an Irish presbyterian and Tribun

as an Irishman I do ask relief for Ireland from
che British parliament, though l don't believe
she'll get it.
S.W. RUGER thought America had yet to pay
her debts to Ireland.
NJ T. MoLoNEY: Having been born in ireland
and having lived there until II years OF age,
ought to know something of the condition OF
things there. We should look at the causes that
have made the Irish medicants, "hewers Of wood
and drawers OF water"-eauses which seem not
TO be understood here notwithstanding all that
has been said OF them. Let the Americans who
think the English government the best en- earth,
study their own history. They forget the story
Of their own forefathers who shed their blood TO
