The Pension Agency.

The dispatch sent over the wires from New
York in relation to Ex-Gov Conner and a
pension agency in this city, was an insult to
brave soldier who was crippled and nearly shot
to death in his country's service, and an at
tempt to create false impression in regard to
the need of pension Office at the capital OF
this state. The Office is needed here for the
benefit of those of our people who have busl-
ness with pension agency II established 1t
will be for that cause and no other. Ex.Goy.
Conner does not ask to have it established on
his account neither do the Maine delegation
ask it for that reason. But he is deserving
man and soldier, and if patriotism, valor and
personal sacrifice and merit count for any
thing in the distribution of the offices belong
ing to the general government. he certainly
ought to be counted in as the recipient OF some
honorable position-KenRebee Journat.

IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
Lectureby Hon. G. w. Laid

Hon. George W. Ladd delivered lecture in
the l. A. R. A. Hall last evening, under the
auspices of the Portland Branch of the Irish
National Land League, to an intelligent and
appreciative audience. Every available seat
was occupied, and many were obliged to
stand. The address occupied about three-quar-
ters of an hour and was frequently interrupted
with applause.
Mr.. Ladd commenced by saying that the
American principles of government were revo-
lutionizing Europe, and must in the future
govern mankind He criticized the position
taken by the British government at various
periods of our history, declaring that no true
American should sympathize with that gov
eminent which in the last rebellion sympa'
thized with jefferson Davis in his efforts to
turn this country into despotism, and fitted
out cruisers to drive our commerce from the
seas. American competition and the No Rent
manifesto were bringing the landlords to their
knees. The land bill was intended to pacify a
class, to satisfy nobody, and to keep ministry
in power. Mr.. Lsdd quoted at length from
the Philadelphia American, one of the fore
most Republican papers in the country, to the
effect that the land bill was farce, and that
the position taken by the Land League was
right. He compared Gladstone with Lord
North, Parnell with Chatham and America
with Ireland.
He asserted that if upon examination it was
found that the imprisonment OF American citl-
zens in British dungeons without trial by jury
was in contrayention with any of our treaties
with England the q. S. government
should demand their instant release. He be-
lieved that the true solution of the Irish diff
Guilty is Home Rule and peasant proprietor
ship.
Mr.. Charles Mccarthy, Jr., followed Mr.
Ladd in forcible and able address He called
the attention of Mr.. Ladd to the unlawful de-
tention of American citizens in British dun
geons, and said he trusted that Mr.. Ladd
would lend his aid in enactng legislation
which would instruct the United States gov.
eminent to demand of England either to re-
lease the imprisoned American citizens or give
them a trial by jury.
A unanimous vote of thanks was extended
by the audience to Mr.. Ladd for his scholarly
and philosophical address.
The meeting was one of the most successful
vet held by the League.
