CHICAGO, June 5.-A meeting to ratify tn
proceedings of the Philadelphia convention
and for the formation of new branch OF tn,
Irish National League of America, was helt
in the parish school-house of the Catholi
Cathedral of the Holy Name, to
night Rev. P. ]. Conway, Vicar
general of this diocese, presiding. Th,
meeting was of more than usual importance
from the fact that reports were received ID
regard to the progress of the work of the
league in this city. Reports were received
from thirty-eight societies in this city,
which passed votes OF affiliation with
the Irish National League of Antr-
lea. An address was delivered by
Alexander Sullivan. president OF thelNa-
tional League. Following are extracs rom
Sullivan's address, outlining the polcy Of the
organization more definitely thai he has
heretofore done:
The Irish National League is III organiza-
ton which may appropriated meet in a
school house; it may justly ask
the sanction of mea whose lives are
dedicated TO religion 1t is humane, Just
to substitute emplomen; for idleness, pros
perity for poverty enlightenment for ignor-
ance. peace for diSord, diversified industry
for that conditioi of misery and dependence
which is the lot of every people who have
but single mans of scoring a livelihood.
1t aims to ren5ve the desotism, insecurity,
brutality andpersecuhons foreign misrule,
and establisbin their placehe security, con-
tentment. thrift and peace rhich only come
to people enjoying their mural rights of
government. tits not an orgaization of rash
impulse. without order, reason or discipline
or foundations and quits; neither
lis it cold bloodlCs move
ment, seeking mere commeFal finan-
cial betterment without the dominant
spirit of love of land. The Iri, National
League of America, at distanc, from al
ways impending famine, from enfoed idle
ness, from bribed witnesses, packed j-ies and
perjured judges, will not attempt toJictate
to those who are in the tolls of slavey and
on the scene of conflict. 1t will no.raise
the embarrassing cry, DO sometlng"
when to do something Nuld
will be fait hfui auxiliary, ready to furbh
enable them to go where fhey ma,
go in prudence, where they may g,
in justice to an oppressed Peocple. 1t
will give its loyal moral, ard its liberal
money support, without quesaon or debate,
to the organization un6r the cool,
patient and patriotic guidance of
Charles Stewart Parney which has
already united a peopkk taught them
