famous as correspondent of the New York
Tribune in 1854 during the Kansas troubles,
and who Is in his element only in the midst
of excitement and commotion, has just return.
ed from SIX months visit to Ireland In a
speech at Newark, N. j., the other evening he
said:
All this year there have been only five cases
of death that any one can attribute to the ten
ants. One Of the men killed was Lord Lei
trim. If he had not been shot it would have
been an eternal disgrace. He ruined thirty
pure girls, and the brother Of one of them
went to Ireland from Chicago and shot him
down like the dog that he was. Applause. !
profoundly honor HIM for il, and if meet
him IN Chicago, l will congratulate HIM on
being good shot. l hope he will disclose his
name, that we may give him testimonial. Mr.
Froudc has condemned that shooting, and
charge him with defending debauchery. 1t is
time to speak out about this thing.
The Land league" Mr. Redpath added
"has given the people new courage. Last year
they were crushed, but now they act like free
men. BY socially ostracizing every one who
takes farm from which tenant has been
evicted the people keep such farms vacant"

contains about twO-thrds Of the seventy odd
millions of dollars of the dsddes which every
