THE LAND LEAGUES AND ARABI PACHAi
Twas proposed few days ago by member OF
the Irish National Land League III IhudueIpila'
at public meeting, that the FUNDS Oh tne olsan,1
ton should be sent ATabI Pacha for the purpose
~ ancomTaging hun in his struggle against England
The suggestion was adopted by the meeting, anu
was Immediately carried mo enIR'' WstIaee the
nresident of the National Land League,
ia this city, said last night - +ho er tHlnH
the action of the league originated IN inc ehtnus
asm of one member. Ii is II step WHOM the ltuu
leagues cannot counteDance because IL is eh'lFSiy
antaronlsfic TO the laws which govern them The
league was founded for the purpose OF SUSTAINING
the people of Ireland in a constitutional struggIe
for their rights, and 1t does not advocate repeiEus
means for reaching that end 1t is natural that
any adyerses which England may sustain shoulu
crafty us but contributing to the support OF re-
beon in country the manners anu the mes ~
ton In the first place, such step would require
O large amount of money ana our hahcial Posl.IoLL
at present is not encouraglng should any DrSH G
organization III this city follow the lead OF the
P6iladephia League, should demonstrate with IT,
and If il erred the second time should erase IL from
our lists OF this, however, l am confident, that
should the war assume any greater slghncance,
numbers of Iri shmeD especially those VINO served
through the Rebellion, will offer their services 10
Arab That they will be welcomed nave
no doubt, as Arab is acquainted WIN
the fact that no people fight as well as those VINO
are battling against tyranny. Although suDstan-
rial aid from Ireland is impossible 1t Is certain tht
Arab has the sympathy OF every freshman" =,
NJ D. Gallagher the president OF the Parneu
Land League said :" My position as president for,
bids me giving any opinion other than general
one The action Of the Philadelphia League, had IL
originated outside of a Land League, would nave
been a most popular one Inc farhell
League simply obeys the directions OF
Charles s. Parnel and NEEDLES WIN
nothing that does not concern II. we could
injure England by supporting Arab Pacha but we
have chosen the peaceful method and we Will not
depart from It, Ne would support Arab because
we regard Egypt III position parallel to our own.
One man has had courage TO arise IN the might OF
nation and to deny the right OF England TO trample
people under foot. 1t is a question OF money In
Ireland as 1t Is IN Egypt. The only way to strike
England is through her exchequer and her colonies
Several members of the Land Leagues thought
that an attempt to funds for the assistance OF
the Egyptians would be very popular with freshmen
and that some action IN reference 10 TINS might ne
taken N the fer Ut b tancl O. OF the League 1T
that purpose, at their next meetings
