THE BEST MOVEMENT EVER IN EXIST
ENcE. At the meeting of the Davitt

tive Committee reported propositions

tionary power

In each case the sum of 81 accom-
panied the names.
MIR. John Rogers, from the Com
mittee on Press, stated that the COM
mittee had, on Tuesday, observed
some Geographic dispatches in the
True american which the committee
believed false, and were afterward
proved to be, and which were calcu-
lated to injure the branch of the
League located here. The commit
tee called upon Mr.. Mar, who stated
that the dispatches came in the regu-
lar way, and were published without
thought as to their possible reflection
upon the Trenton branch. In future
such dispatches will be carefully
scrutinized, and not published unless
proved to be authentic. The report

of some recent evictions in Ireland,
and his own experience in the I'M
happy land of his birth. His remarks
were loudly applauded.
Under the head of Educational,
Mr. Robt. Wilson defended the move
ment against the charge of COM
munism. Mr.. Parnell, said he is
trying to get for the Irish people
what they need-what belongs to
them. Mr.. Parnel has no desire to
take the land Of the Irish landlords
without compensating them for it.
He desires to take it for the public
good-on the same principle and in
| Just the same manner as railroad
company would take my land if they
desired to run a railroad through it.
Mr.. Wilson then read an article from
the pen of a German political econo-
mist, explaining the objects and pur-
poses Of the League. Continuing, he
said : Half the stories in respect to
the League which reach us by the
Associated Press are untrue-sent to
mislead. The English government
are afraid of us in this country they
are not of those at home. A great
many people ask, What is the use
of our agitating the question ?" I
tell you, if a mans ancestors have
robbed you, and he still retains pos
session of what they wrongfuIly OIL
tanned, and yourkeep continually tel

mighty soon give you something to
keep your mouth shut. Keep up
the agitation.
Mr.. Stapleton said that he could
not allow the occasion to pass without
referring to the anniversary OF the

of Irelands heroes.
Under the head of New Blu aness,
