The principal feature of interest in
the proceedings Of the Land League
at its meeting on Sunday, was a lee
tme on its origin and purposes by L..
{. Gosson, Esq, the local editor of
the Daily True American He said
that when a few weeks since he had
promised Capt. Hurley to make few
remarks upon this question, he then
explained that he would only be able
to do SO in a general way. The story
OF lreland's wrongs appeals to every
heart that is loyal to the great princi-
pies of civil and religious liberty.
ireland of the past was celebrated for
the learning, the piety, the independ-
ence OF It's people. How is it then
that this people have been subjected
TO a tyranny more oppressive, des-
potlsm more grinding than the Pole
or the serf of Russia?
THE PRIMARY TROUBLE
II seems to me has been caused by
the laws made in the interest of the
propnetors of landed estates. Mr..
0osson quoted at length the sumptu-
AIRY laws and religious restrictions to
winch the Irish people have been sub
Iected Such discrimination caused a
hatred of the government even if the
rope himself should take every tenth
potato the people would rebel. How
much more irritating to be compelled
70 pay these tithes to an organization
winch has been well described as
-, CHURCH WITHOUT A CONGREGATION,
whose heads enjoyed a revenue with
out duties. Another cause of trouble
~ The absenteeism of the landlords.
Inc real old Irish gentleman was
wont to spend his money at home, so
siia1 II IN time returned to the tenants
from which it came. But the land
iolu OF to-day spends the income de-
I'ed from the labor of his tenants in
n London and the Capitals of Europe.
IRE now efforts have been made to
.iee Ireland but England manufac-
~ lures history to justify her acts before
,ne civilized world and these efforts,
uese movements have unjustly had
EAST upon them the odium of assassi-
nallon and anarchical methods. But

A BLooDLEss REVOLUTION

An educational movement which will
awaken the masses of England and
the civilized world to the accounta-
bllity of the English government for
the misery of Ireland, and eventually
lead to her acknowledgment.
Mr. A. J. Smith called attention 10
the substantial progress which the
League is making, and stated that
out of the "a branches in Pbiladel-
phla, but two exceeded the Trenton
branch in membership and the amount
of money raised for the cause.
Mr. Nangle spoke at length in rela-
ton to the great humanitarian princi-
pies which underlie the Land Leaoue
movement.
The President read personal an
tograph letter from Charles Stewart
Parnell, in which Mr.. Parnell referred
to the active American co-operation
IN the work OF the League, inspiring
the Irish tenant with renewed hope
and courage, and especially thanking
the people OF Trenton for their earn
est efforts and active interest in be-
halt OF his oppressed countrymen.
The Treasurer reported having sent
$500 on to Father Walsh for the pur-
poses OF the League in Ireland, and
after the transaction of some unim-
portant business pertaining to the in
ternal affairs of the organization, the
League adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon at half past four o'clock.

A WORTHY PASTOR AND AN AppREc1A-
TIVE CoNGREGATIoN.-One year ago
when Rev. I. W. johnson came to
this city, as the Pastor of st. PauTs
Methodist Church, he found the con
gregation without house of worship,
and the membership split up into a
dozen warning factions but seven or
eight being in good standing and fell
lowship.
During the year past, through his
efforts, fine brick church building
has been erected, the membership
united, and the congregation quadru-
pied. Last Sunday evening he closed
the labors of the Conference year and
the church was packed, many persons
being turned away for want of even
standing room.
After the opening exercises, a ser
mon was preached by the Rev. VIM.
Somers, from Luke Z, 20; &c Thy faith
hath made thee whole" The reverend
gentleman referred to the divided
state of the church a year since, and
the utter lack of spirituality then
pervading it, and contrasted it with
its present material and spiritual
prosperity.
He was followed by the Rev. Mr..
Brogden, who paid high compliment
to the services of the pastor. A col
lection for the benefit of the pastor
amounting to $56.40 was taken up,
after which the Rev. Mr.. Johnson
arose, and in feeling manner re-
turned thanks for the substantial evil
dences of esteem which he had
received. Referring to the gratifying
change in the condition of the church,
he took occasion to point out the utter
dependence of humanity upon the
Divine will and favor, and urged his
hearers to keep closer to Him, who
alone could give them not only earthly
possessions and prosperity, but an
eternal joint inheritance with His
Son, Christ Jesus.

out with considerable bad luck. The

afternoon, and prevented Mr.. La Mon

sin. Inside the company had to con-
tend with many disadvantages. 1t
being their first exhibition of the sea-
son, and owing to the fact that part of
the company We're still in Chicago,
they we're unable to present the pro-
gramme they intended; but notwitil-
standing all this, the performance was
good, and showed quite plainly that
the troupe was composed of talented
artists. Mr.. La Mondue is uneXcelled

erses a one-eigllth inch wire with huge

Mr.. Martin has since added brass
band and orchestra, beside several new
performers to his troupe.

The questions are frequently asked.
what is to be the future of Mineral
Point What effect will the Chicago
4 Northwestern railroad running
through the western and northern
portions of Iowa county have upon
the business interests of Mineral
Point" 1t does not necessarily follow
because other parts of the county will
be benefited BY tie new railroad, that
therefore Mineral Point must suffer
loss. We have faith TO believe that she
will share in the general prosperity of
the whole county. There must. in the
nature OF things, arise 4 competition
between the Chicago X Northwestern
and the Chicago. Milwaukee and St.
Paul Ry'S. in this county. and OR city
will be Il partaker OF the benefits to be
derived from such competitions In
contrasting tie Mineral Point Of iif-
teen Years ago. We see on every hand
marked evidence of Improvement and
business progress. The amount OF bu-
SineSS transacted here during the past
wear has been greater than duriRg any
previous wear Of our city's history
Those who are now propheSying the
downfall of Mineral Point prophesied
the same thing two, three and four
years age; but ii spite Of their predic-
tons business has increased and the
city has prospered We need no better
evidence Of this than 10 see our streets
thronged with teams, and people con-
ing from distance of from twenty to
twenty-five miles to do their trading
here. Why do they come here to trade
if Mineral Point is going down is rap
idly rs some would have us believe:
How is il that our merchants report
good trade and largely increased sales
during the past few years? The why
ana the wherefore Of the whole matter
is simply, that Mineral Point is not 60
! ing down. If Mineral Point has lost
i'll some directions, she has gained iii
others, and her gains have far exceeded
her losses. We have no desire to mag
nify the standing Of Mineral Point
We are interested in the development
and prosperity of the whole county.
