better.

THE IRISH LEAGUE.

It's Policy Outlined by President Sullivan.
CHICAGO, June Elm an address last night,
President Sullivan outlined the policy OF the
Irish League as follows:
The Irish National League seeks to substi-
tute employment for idleness, property for
poverty, enlightenment for ignorance, peace
for discord, and diversified industry for that
condition of misery and dependence which Is
the lot VI every people who have but a single
means OF securing livelihood. Il aims to re-
move despotism, insecurity, brutality, perse-
cution and foreign misrule and to establish
in their places security, contentment, thrift
and peace which only come to people enjoying
the natural right of self-government 1t is
not an organization of rash impulse without
order, reason or discipline for foundations and
guides, neither is 1t cold, bloodless move
ment seeking mere commercial or financial
betterment without the dominant spirit of
love of land. The Irish National League of
America at safe distance from an always
pending famine, from enforced idleness and
from bribed witnesses, packed juries and per-
iured judges, will not attempt to dictate action
to those in the tolls of slavery and on the scene
of conflict. 1t will not raise the embarrassing
cry, "Do something" when to do something
would be both madness and crime. 1t will be
faithful auxiliary, ready to furnish resources
to Its less fortunate brethren, to enable them
to go where they may 60 in prudence, where
they may go in justice. 1t will give its loyal
moral and its liberal financial support without
question or dctation, to the organization un-
der the cool, patient guidance of Charles
Stewart Parnell, which already has united the
people, taught them self-reliance and self-con-
troll and compelled Gladstone's courts to admit
that they have been robbed OF S20,000,C GEO a
year by absentee landlords.
1t is said that emigration is a necessity for
Ireland, that she cannot support herself. That
cannot be true while only 3CC3, 900 acres out Of
20,G00000 are under tillage; while the popula-
tion is only 1872 10 the square mile against 485
in thrifty and prosperous Belgium. 1t cannot
be true as long as with less than sixth OF her
surface under food crops she stiff exports food
1t is said she is too small country to govern
herself in safety. She is three times the size
of Belgium. with population a little less;
more than twice the size Of Denmark ,considera-
bly, larger than Greece and nine times the size
OF Montenegro. The Netherlands would not COW
er half of her surface. She is nearly as large as
Portugal. All these countries are independent
and all are prosperous. Why? Because each
governs herself

TEwKsBURY ALMsHoUsE.
Ex-Gov. Rice Continues his Testi-
mony.
The Governor Getting Sick of his Job.

BosToN, June 6.-At the Tew ksbury hearing
to-day ex-Gov. RIce's examination was contiil-
ued. He had refreshed his memory by letter
written in 1876 to the State board of health, in
which he says be had visited Tewksbury and
while finding not that degree of perfection
which such an institution rarely attaiDs, yet it
was more satisfactory than expected. Gov.
Rice added that when the letter was written
he was young in offite. He had endeavored to
thoroughly investigate Tewksbury but with
result not satisfactory to himself. He was led
to believe that many defects such as existed in
the institution were attributory to faulty or
ganization rather than to any personal bad ad-
ministration of affairs.
Ex-Gov. Rice stated that IL there was any
failure on his part of proper diligence In look
ing after these Institutions 1t must be found
outside OF his reply to the State Board OF Char
tiles. He had recommended thorough reform
of the whole system, the appointment of COM
mission to investigate, ct ceters.
Gov. Butler said but one OF the recommen-
datioDs had been carried out, and the witness
replied that 1t was no fault of bis. In reply to
a query as to what correspondence the witness
had taken from the Executive department at
the end Of his term, Mr.. Rice said sharply that
he was not accustomed to mix official and per-
sohal correspondence. He had offered no ex-
cuse and bad none to offer.
Gov. Butler asked:-"Then you did not In
vestigate tie charge Of the board, but your
first official act was to recommend the aboli-
ton OF the board which made the charges?"
Mr.. Rice replied that this was gratuitons
assumption on the part Of the Governor. He
based bis action partly On the report of the leg
islative committee and partly on other sources
of information.
Mrs. M. P. Bowen testified to the bad repu-
tation Of Eva Bowen, who was Der adopted
daughter.
at the close OF today's hearing new feature
was given the proceedings by the committee at
the request of Gov. Butler, voting unanimous
ly that the Governor and council for defence
have power to go out OF the state and take
depositions. The Governor desired that In the
meantime the committee adjourn over, bnt
adjournment was taken to Friday instead.
The Governor said he wanted TO go out OF
town for his health and would like to rest
awhile and go to sea. This is looked upon by
many as the beginning Of the end OF the
Tewksbury investigation.
