LONDON, October "a dispatch
from Cork to the Times says that
the great success of the days pro-
ceedings Sunday, on the occasion of
the public reception of Mr.. Parnel,
was the splendid display made by the
trades. The procession was nearly
two miles long. In some streets
trumpet arches were erected. Father
Sheehy spoke in favor of Irish in
dependence, concluding by saying
that be spoke in the presence Of the
great republic of the West. Mr..
Redpath said America is watching
with intense interest the heroic
struggle for free fatherland. At a
meeting near Rollinglass, Coae.y
Wicklaw, for the purpose OF esta
fishing an organization for the pro-
lection of farmers and others who
have incurred the displeasure of the
Land League, it was resolved to es
tablish an association to protect
boycotted persons, and that special
attention should be paid to the
Catholic farmers desiring to resist
the quotation of the league. The
loyal inhabitants of Reems county
including the Protestant and Cath
olic farmers who had not joined the
league, have formed committee to
counteract the league. They are
arranging to help the farmers who
cannot get their crops saved. A
convention of the various branches
of the Ennis league has passed
resolutions summoning the branches
to adopt stringent measures against
indiscriminate boycotting.
A Times Paris special says there is
good reason to know that President
Grevy will not only, on the over
throw of Premier Ferry, send for
Gambetta, but that he will give Gam
BETA the fullest latitude in choosing
a Cabinet.
The Pail Mall Gazette sketches
the draft of the land bill for England
which has been finally considered by
special committee of the Farmers
Alliance. The bill aims at the ess
tablishment of complete security for
the capital of farmers and entire i'm
munity from capricious eviction I;
the rights of the tenant to sell
Improvements in open market with the
provisions that the landlord must
accept the purchase as tenant for
seven yeas and advance rent as that
of the outgoing tenant, and the cre-
alton of land court in every dis
trict for the settlement of questions
concerning rents and all other dis
putes.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
in the southern districts of London
Sunday to initiate the American cru
sade against liquor selling, by prayer
meetings held opposite public
houses.
The Gazette thinks this is sugges-
tive, and says if definitely supported
by a majority of farmers throughout
the country, and is vigorously used
as a means of agitating for reform,
the day when Parliament must vote
urgency for an English land bill is
not very far off.
