New YORK, June "A Dublin dispatch
announces that Archbishop Croke con
cluded at Thurles yesterday one of the most
extraordinary campaigns ever known in
Irish ecclesiastical history. In the forenoon
he made remarkable appeal to Mr.. Glad
stone to put stop to evictions. "The
word eviction" +" he said, 'in the sense in
which it is used here, Is scarcely known
in any other country in the world. There
is no such word and no such thing else
where. 1t is word of vile omen. It is a
word that imports the depopulation OF our
country, that imports the degradation of
our people, that imports the flying of them
beyond the waters to foreign lands in quest
OF the means of livelihood, carrying with
them a spirit of vengeance against what is
certainly the greatest empire in the world,
but which Is no less certainly an empire
which has treated Ireland worse than ever
an empire treated dependency. Let no
man henceforth be turned out Of his land
unless 1t is q lite clear that the money which
should have met his engagements was waste
fully and foolishly dissipated. 1t was only
the other day that the venerable parish
priest of MoycorkeY told me that when he
became priest of that parish it contained
twelve hundred families and there are at
present only four hundred"
Counselling the people, he said, at the
same time: "If evictions are to 20 on l
would advise you how to act. Don't bring
yourselves into collision with the authori-
ties. They are too strong for you. II not
even for conscience sake, for our own pre-
servation, for the sake of expediency, IL net
for principle, we must act on the defensive.

opposed to us, and In that, they will get tired
of the contest, because whole united peo-
pie have never yet been defeated"
In another speech in the evening, the
Archbishop declared that the agitation
was not due to Davitt, nor Parnell nor their
followers, but to the fact that there was a
mighty grievance, and that the Irish peo-
pie at last contemplated 1t manfully, and
were determined to remove 1t. With
out the priesthood of Ireland, It would
have been impossible for the movement to
reach it's present mighty dimensions. It
had been said that Mr.. Parnell did not wish
the cooperation of the priesthood, but the
Archbishop declared authoritatiyely that
two years ago Mr.. Parnell waited on him In
Dublin and literally went down on his knees
to ask him to use all his influence to have
the priests join the movement.
He concluded with the following declara-
not revolutionary movement in the strict
sense of the word. 1t is a constitutional
movement. 1t Is lawful movement. 1t is
a movement which we intend to push for
ward by moral force alone. We do not
intend to violate any law. We intend
to exhaust all constitutional remedies. We
are perfectly certain that the elasticity
of the constitution will allow US the means
of working energetically to the last, and final

to produce an effect upon Eogland, not by
physical force. or by any manifestations of
physical force, but by moral means. We
do not intend to do injury to any mortal
man. We recognize the rights of the owner
OF the SOIL and we recognize our own rights
at the same time; and while we give to
Caesar the goods that are C@sar's,' we
viii assert for ourselves the things
that are ours. What we want
is a chance for our lives in our
own country, and we Will forget the past.
We will forget the numberless tYranuies of
England. We will forget all the tears we
have been obliged to shed. We will forget
the massacres that have been committed,
the determination OF our race and the down
fall, so far as 1t was possible for them to
accomplish II, of our dear country, and we
will begin anew the score with the domi-
nant country. VIII let her see that

Secretary for Ireland, will be detained some
days longer in Ireland, owing to the aspect
of affairs there.
In the House of Commons to day, Mr.
Gladstone, replying to Mr.. Chaplain. Con-
servative member for Lincolnshire Middle,
said there was no foundation whatever for
the statement that the Irish Executive has
represented to the Cabinet the necessity for

to Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr.. Gladstone

leagues for the restoration of order in
Ireland, will be submitted to q Cabinet
Council to-day"
Cardinal Manning told a deputation of
the Catholic League Of the Cross yester-
day that he had not ordered the refusal of
the use of club halls for Land League meet
ings, but he desired that the League of the
Cross, as body, should not ally itself with
any political movement.
The dispatch from Clonmel yesterday.
announcing the death of a policeman and
the precarious condition of a number of
soldiers from injuries received in the riot
there on Tuesday, was exaggerated. No
policeman or soldier received dangerous
Injury, though several were knocked down.

Ounhoat GoshaWk was untrue
