turns, propounded by Governor Garce-
Ion. The armed guard at the State
House is there only in the night time,
and then do not keep any one away
who has business at the Capitol. The
authorities explain that such force is
deemed prudent on account Of threats
made in public meetings and otherwise
to force the regularly constituted au-
thority. 1t is very quiet there now,
nothing of public interest having oc-
Cured. The Fusionists and Repub-
licans are there in large numbers to-
day, as it is expected that the decision
of the Court at Bangor on the 9ues-

Parnell, now IN New York, in an in
terview says: Il consider that the
British Government ought TO relieve
the distress lD Ireland, and we have
been watching and waiting to see
whether the Government would fulfill
lis duty in this respect. Finding that
it did not, the Land League decided,
just before | left Ireland, to receive
subscriptions for the relief of the dis
tress, and we feel compelled to say that
although our primary object is to raise
money in aid of the Land League, if
any charitable Americans desire to in
trust us with funds for the relief of the
poor iii Ireland, we shall be happy
to receive them and apply Che
money through our local organiza-
tions, according to the wishes of
the donors. But it would not be neces-
sary for me to come to America simply
to ask for assistance for the distressed
Irish. America would send relief as
soon as she knew of actual distress. In
the famine of 1917 she sent assistance to
Ireland before England had done so, and
she has done the same this time.
