AN ARcHBIsHoP's ADDRESS.
CORK, June 2.-Dublin dispatch Arch
bishop Croke concluded at Thurles yesterday
one of the most extraordinary campaigns ever
known in Irish ecclesiastical history. His
grace brought his labors to close with two
speeches containing several passages of the
highest importance at the present moment
In the forenoon he made remarkable appeal
to Gladstone to stop evictions. His grace
said: 81 appeal to that great statesman
solemnly as an Irish bishop, in the name OF
Tipperary and in the name OF Ireland, to let his
| fiat go out that there is to be no more
evictions during the present time. (Great
cheering.) 1t is curious fact that the word
eviction, in the sense in which it is used here,
is scarcely known In any other country in the
world. There is no such thing elsewhere.
It is word of evil omen. 1t is word that i'm
parts dispopulation-of our country; that i'm
parts degradation. of our people; that impart S
the flying of them beyond the waters to for
eign lands in search of means of livelihood,
carrying with them a spirit of
vengeance against what is certainly
the greatest empire in the world, but which
sno less certainly the empire which has treat
pendency. loud cheers.) Therefore
would say to that great statesman, if you
value the friendship of Ireland, if you
value the good name of England, ifeyou value
the lives of our people, if you do not wish to
perpetuate the national ferd and sanguinary
| traditions that have ruled in this country for
| ages-blot out from the statute book the name
of eviction and let no man hence
forth be turned out of. his land unless it
should have met his engagement was waste
fully and foolishly dissipated. cloud Cheers
1t was only the other day that the venerable
parish priest of Maycorkey told me that when
he became priest of that parish it contained
one thousand two hundred families. There
are at present only four hundred. Let me ask
Mr.. Gladstone what has become of the eight
hundred families, once so happy in their hum
BILE homes, who have disappeared from the par
ish? Many of them have gone into graves,
many into the workhouse, and many to the
great republic of the west, bearing with them
undying hatred to the country that banlshed
them from their native land. Great
cheering.) At the same time, if the evictions
are to so on, would advise you how to act.
Do not bring yourselves into collision with
the authorities. They are too strong for you
Even for conscience sake, even for our own
preservation, for the sake Of expedency If not
principle, must act on the defensive. We
must offer passive resistance to those opposed
to us; and IN that way they will get tired of
the contest, because a whole united people
have never yet been defeated.
His grace concluded with the following re-
markabe declaration: "I have to say that
this movement is not revolutionary move
ment in the strict sense Of the word. 1t is q
constitutional movement. 1t is lawful
movement. 1t is a movement which we in
tend to push forward by moral force alone.
tCheers.) We don't intend to violate any laws.
We intend to exhaust all constitutional RENE
dies. We are perfectly certain that the elas-
ticity of the constitution will allow
us the means OF working faithfully to
the last, finally achieving the result
we aim at. We wish to produce an effect on
England, not by physical force or by any
manifestations of physical force, butt by moral
means. We want to make our grievances
known to the entire world-to tell France and
Spain and Italy and the United States and the
great colonies that we acknowledge the sway
of Great Britain, that in this country we have
been kept down by bayonets to the present
kept down at present, please God,
we are now fully determined
bayonets or no bayonets, (great cheering) to
proclaim at all events our wants, and to pro-
claim that we will not be satisfied until
we get our rights, and that We will enlist on
our behalf, not the swords, nor guns, nor
cannons of France, or of Spain, or Italy or of
the United States, but the intelligent opinion
ofall intelligent nations of the world. There
fore this is not revolutionary movement,
but because it is conducted by the most relig-
ious people In the world and backed up by the
best, most holy, most self-sacrifcing, most
faithful and most tuncompromising priesthood
| in the world. (great cheering.) 1t is not an
unjust movement, calculated or designed to
do injury to anybody. We repudiate that
charge We say we do not intend to do injury
of owners of the soil, and we recognize our
own rights at the same time; and while we
give to Cesar the things that are Casar's, we
| will assert for ourselves the things that are
| ours. Cloud cheers.) What we want is a
chance for our lives in our own country, and
we viii forget the past. We will forget the
numberless tyrannies of England; we will for
get all tbe tears we have shed we will forget
the massacres that have been com
mitted, the eXtermination of our
race, and the downfall, so far
as possible for them to accomplish, of our
dear country, and We will begin new score
with the dominant country. We will let
them see we are not only able to flourish a
brand, but that in orr land we cannot be sup
pressed. (Cheers.) l hear of disagreement
among the leaders of the people, but these
broken; our spirit la unsubdued, and the re
suit is therefore as clear as day. We must
succeed.
