CHICAGO, June 5-A meeting to
ratify the proceedings of the Phila-

nation of a new branch of the Irish
National League of America was held
in the parish school house of the
Catholic cathedral of the Holy Name
tonight, Rev. +. J. Conway, Vicar
General of this diocese, presiding.
The meeting was of more than usual
importance, from the fact that reports
received in regard to the progress of
the work Of the League in this city
show that 38 societies have passed a
vote of affiliation with the Irish Ma
tiOnal League of America. Addresses
were delivered by Alexander Sulli-
van. president of the National League,
and by Judge Moran. The following
are excerpts from Sullivan's address
outlining the policy of the Organiza-
ton more definitely than has been
heretofore done:
The Irish National League is an
organization which may appropriate
ly meet in school house. 1t may
justly ask the sanction of men whose
lives are dedicated ito religion. It is
humane, just, and patriotic in it's pur-
pose. It aims to remove despetism,
insecurity, brutality, prosecutions of
foreign misrule, and re-establlsh in
their place, security, contentment,
thrift and peace, which only come to
a people enjoying the natural right of
self-gOvernment It is net an organ
iZatiOn ON a rash impulse, without
order. reason, or discipline for its
foundation and guide; neither is it a
cold, blOodless movement, seeking
mere commercial or financial settle
ment, without the dominant spirit of
love of country. The Irish National
League of America is at a safe dis
tance from an always impending
famine, and enforced idleness. Bribed
witnesses, packed juries, and perjured
judges will not attempt to dictate
action to those who are in the tolls
Of slavery and on the field Of conflict.
l will not raise the embarrassing cry
Of "DO Something" when to do some
thing would be bot, madness and
crime.
1t will be faithful auxiliary ready
to furnish resources to its less fOrtu-
nate brethren; to enable them to 60
where they wish without eleemosy-
nary aid from their oppressors. It
will give it's moral aid and its liberal
financial support, without question or
to an organization under
the patient, patriotic guidance of
Charles Stewart Parnell, which has
already united the people and taught |
them self-reliance and self-contrO],
and compelled G'adstone's courts to
admit that they had been robbed of |
100000 year by absentee land
lords.
