Omaha daily bee., 1883-05-07

In the name OF religion and law, that
they might be more easily kept In sub.
~jectton2 1t Is said our representatives
have never proposed def.
mite plan Of sell. government.
Much, indeed, their candor would
have awaited In q foreign Legislature
from which they have repeatedly been
expelled whenever they attempted to
compel Its attention to the wants of
their country. But we shall print .
record Of bills eminently just, wise
and VIGOROUSLY necessary, which the
Irish members offered In that body
only to see them contemptuously
thrown out, generally without the
poor compliment, of q second reading.
Americans who read the record will
have q new appreciation Of the neoes.
sity of giving Ireland a legislature Of
her own.
1t Is said Ireland is lswless. We
shall use the statistics of the English
bureau to show she Is far less so than
England, In o word We have fastened
the attention Of intelligent America
Oh Eoglish misgovernment of Ireland,
and we intend to keep 1t there. I
mhy be asked what precedent does
history contain for justifying the hope
that the moral power of mankind will
aid struggling nationalities. l will
go no further back than to mention
Greece, Hungary, Montenegro. But
mark, fellow countrymen, no country
has aver been helped thus that did
not first help Itself.
"Go on, thon. actively with your or.
ganlzation. Bring all your societies
promptly upon the platform and under
banner Of the Irish national league,
continue, as of old, your noble work
of ~benevolence, temperance and chart
ty. But when we work for Ireland
we work on one platform, under one
banner, by one method and with one
sim-national pelf.government," He
declared that the inaugural statement,
with much interesting additional mat.
ter, would be placed In their hands at
an early day.
At the conclusion Of Sallivan's ad-
dress he was heartily %applauded. The
proceedings closed at midnight, the
audience rising and joining In the
chorus of "God Save Ireland" Three
cheers were given for the national
league.

FINNERTY's REPORT.
CHICAGO, May Cat a meeting of
the Sixth ward land league to-day,
Hon. John Finnerty, Its delegate to
the late Philadelphia convention, made
a report. In the course of his re.
marks he said he went to the conven-
ton to do his duty regardless of the
political unpopularity which 1t might
entail. The result was he had been
misreprepressnted by the eastern
press, which classed him with the
dynamite faction. He favored sup
porting Parnell, and would not antag.
onizs the new league. Irishmen must
rather suffer injustice than have the
English government b sleeve they were
not In harmony. People who com
planned of the want of free speech ir
Ireland should consider there was nc
free speech In Philadelphia.
