Relief for Ireland.

The meeting called at City Hall Friday
evening to consider ways and means to
raise funds for the alienation of the terrible
distress in Ireland is timely, aud its objects
should command the heartiest support.
The want and misery of the Irish peasanlry
are hourly increasing and the unfortunate
island is threatened with famine as severe
as that which more than decimated its pop
ulation in 1S47 and aroused the sympathy of
the civilized world. Only prompt and am
pie aid can prevent repetition Of the fright
full scenes of that frightful year.
Suffering so dread full should command
our active aid wherever it exists; but in
Ireland it has strong and peculiar claims
upon our sympathy. From that island has
come much of the Drawn and muscle that
during the last thirty years have SO greatly
aided in the development of our material
industries and the promotion OF our
astonishing prosperity. In the war for
the preservation of the union Irish regiments
bore large. and honorable and conspicu-
ors part, and Irish generals stand high on
as its pride and glory. In peaceful pursuits,
too, Irishmen have highly distinguis he'd
themselves among the best, and most enter
prising and patriotic of our citizens. At
this time the dire distress of their kin across
the sea affords us the opportunity to show
our appreciation of their merits as citizens
and of their services in our time of need
an opportunity we should be eager to en-
brace.
Of the methods which the meeting will
adopt we know nothing. But the surest
and promptest measures of relief should be
taken, regardless of old disputes. If the
Land League offers the speediest and most
effectual assistance it should be made the
instrument of aid. Whatever we may think
of home rule or of the mission OF Mr..
Parnell we ought not to reject the most
direct means at hand to make relief etfec-
tual. The money to be raised does not so
for political agitation, but for the allevia-

Generous Words for Mr.. Lowell.

Mr. Lowell, the American poet and critic,
has been appointed by President Hayes United
States minister at the Court of St. James. For
some years back Mr.. Lowell has been United
States Minister at the court of Spain, as Wash
ington Irving was before his time. The ap-
pointment which brings Mr.. Lowell to London
will be very welcome here. The new Ameri-
can Minister is no stranger to us. Only the
other night Sir Stafford Northcote was quot
ing one of his lines-not citing it quite correct
ly, indeed, and only, it would seem, on some
recollection of having heard it made use of by
Mr.. Bright. Still it was a line from, or meant
to be from, the immortal Hosea Biglow, the
quaint philosopher and moralist whose humors
and shrewd sayings were once in the mouths OF
all Englishmen, and are remembered by most
of us still. Mr.. Lowell's "Biglow Papers" are
his best known and most popular production,
outside the limits of New England at all
events. But his graver poems have readers
everywhere, and his critical essays may almost
be said to form part of our own literature
There was time, during the civil war in
America, when the author OF the "Biglow Pa
pers" was q little out of humor with England
for certain little acts or omissions OF her Gov
ernment, and he expressed himself according
ly in somewhat acrid verse. But this country
has long since made acknowledgement OF any
error it may have been drawn into during
perplexing time, and we may safely assume
that Mr.. Lowell has ceased to feel sore on the
old subject He is one of number of men
who have won distinct and peculiar reputs'-
ton in literature for their country, and who
have made Harvard University and Cambridge
village places that all strangers in America
love to see. Every one in this country will be
pleased with President Hayes's latest appoint

Here is the list in black letters OF the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names OF such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tors:

THE Utica New York, Herald pays but
proper praise to the enterprise of the Boston
Herald when it makes the following COM
ments:
The conclusion of the Maine matter makes
it proper and timely to say a woId of deserved
praise for the one journal to which, above all
others in the United States, the country is in
debted for prompt, full and usually accurate
information OF the movements OF all parties
concerned. That journal is the Boston Her
aid. The Boston press as whole has done
good work. and has been conspicuous for the
fulness of its news in comparison with the
press of New York city. All through the
weeks of excitement in Maine, when the Pine
Tree state was the centre of the news most
sought for by the American public, the lack of
enterprise in the great dailies of New York
has been the subject of much remark. The
telegraph makes Augusta as near to New York
as to Boston. But the New York dalies. as
well as those of the interior. have, as gener-
al thing got their news from the Boston Her
add Either the latter journal alone realized
the Importance of the situation, or it enjoyed
special privileges i'll the gathering OF news. II
is not probable its reporters were given ad-
vantages denied to others. 1t was natural,
perhaps, that the Boston press should be first
in the Maine field. 1t is surprising that in a
strife of such character, CONFUSING the state
and lasting through weeks, the great dallies OF
the metropolis, which are wont to claim lead
ership in every journalistic enterprise, should
have all along Jagged conspicuously in the
rear. Always enterprsing, the Boston Herald
has surpassed itself in this important luncture,
and we gladly make the acknowledgment.
1t is only proper to say that Mr.. Couillard,
one of the most accomplished and energetic
journalists in New England, was the Au-
gusta correspondent OF the Herald during
the exciting days of the Fusion intrigue.
