THE IRISH CONTEST.

A Few More Arrests Made-The Land
League Accepting the Situation In Some
Quarters-How the State Prisoners are
Treated, Etc.
DUBLIN, Oct. 27.-The arrests included
Stock, of Tralee, long in penal servitude for
treason, and now suspected of reasonable
practices. ONeil, organizer and paid secre-
tary of the Cork branch of the Land League
has also been arrested.
QUIETLY SUBMITTING.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Cork correspondent says:
The dissolution of the League in South Ire
landproceeds steadily and peacefully. Branches
quietly submit to the prohibition of these
meetings.
HEFFERMAN.
The government, to justify their course in
rearresting John Hefferman, one of the most
violent leaguers in Cork, publishes the appeal
he made for clemency after his first arrest.
The appeal concludes: 81 will guarantee to
take no further part in public matters relative
to land reform, knowing, as I %, that the
land bill is perfect.'' Hefferman since his re-
lease denied that he signed conditions, and re-
sumed the agitation.

New YORK, Oct. 27.-Henry George tele-
graphs the Irish World from Dublin: Ar
rests continue. The Land Leaguers have
ceased to hold public demonstrations, but
continue to meet privately in chapels. Ladies'
Land Leagues are increasing, determined to
hold on to their organization in some shape.
The prisoners are allowed one visit daily, but
that is hard to obtain, as there are only two
Interview cages in shed, which make the
conditions awkward and studiously humili-
ating. Two barricades separate visitors from
suspects" One warden stands behind the
prisoner and another before, catch
ing every word and eyeing every move.
Allusions to matters political are strictly
prohibited. Waiting visitors are compelled
to stand outside the Jail exposed to all sorts of
weather; even ladies are kept waiting all day.
All letters addressed to prisoners are closely
read. Ladies of the Land League are working
with industry and dintrepedity. Anna ParneD,
in peace, is fighting heroically to save her peo
They are rapidly procuring ready made houses
for the evicted. Miss Parnell tells me fifty
thousand will soon be required.
NEWSPAPER ADDRESS.
DUBLIN, Oct. 27.-The United Irishman,
Land League organ has an address to its read
ers saying: "It is now plain that freedom of
opinion is for the moment at an end in Ire
land, except for enemies of the people and for
these still more dangerous friends
who are taking advantage OF
the paralysis of public opinion
in order to deaden peoples courage, and aid
the design of coercion by craven counsels.
Nearer home, whoever speaks word, that is
burning IN million Irish hearts, is struck
dumb by the mailed hand; whoever openly or
coyertly bids the people de-
sert the cause to which they
have pledged their lives and honor before the
world is petted for his treason and gloriied
| for his cowardice. Under these circumstan-
ces, the journal which has no aptitude for
apostacy can continue to exist only by ceasing
TO express any opinions at all, and by confin-
| ing itself to collecting bare facts concerning
| the great struggle which is but begun. During
| the reign of terror, United Ireland will be
conducted on this prin&ple. The blank in its
editorial columns, every peasant in his noun
| tain hut, and every lover of freedom the world
| over, will know how to translate, and will be
| a perpetual reminder that, let bayonets be
shaken in our faces, and let some of those
who we counted our own wiring our hearts and
give joy to our enemies. These principles are
Immutable and will yet triumph. Our gaze
turns from ferocious England to the glorious
West. In the hands of the Irish in America
lies our fame upon the amount of assistance
at hand for those who have to endure evic-
ton, depends disaster or triumph.
Now or never, before apathy
among our transatlantic brethren means
death. Now or never one glorious effort on
their part means victory. Our backs are turn
ed to Britain, our face toward the west. When
our voice is heard again we have firm faith 1t
will be inia shout of victory.
