public meeting will shortly be held ut which the
Mayor will probably be able to lay the matter
before the country most completely and forcf-

as justtiable, and finds therein none OF those
atfnities with civil war which some captious
imagIuations have discovered in it. It cannot
be too strongly insisted upon that we hare to
deal In ireland, not only with determined revo-
luuonists personally interested in running the
owners of property and peasantry united in u
free-ma5onry terrorism, but also with the dc.
moralting agency OF foreign subsidies. Fentanism
In America raises large sums with which the ner-
ccnaries Of disorder are kept a{oot in Ireland" !"
