For Ireland's Cause.

AT the meeting of the Irish Nation
I'll League lie Hibernian Hall last satur-
day evening, ice-President McCaf-
feity was called to the chan, in the alb
senee of the president. After the OPP
enlng routine Mr.. McCatfefty said that
from all accounts he had read. st. Paul
had contributed more TO the Parnell
fund, III proportion to her population,
than any other city in the United States.
Mr.. Parnell, it was pretty generally be-
lieyed, would be able to show So and
possibly SO members in Parliament after
the coming elections in Ireland As
the funds would be necessary, Mr.. Nc
Cafferty suggested that a part of St.
Paul's contribution be sent at once.
On this suggestion, the treasurer was
instructed by q vote to forward ST 500
to the Rev. Father Riley, the Treasurer
of the National League, lat once. Capt.
Fahey, from the committee of forty on
subscriptions, reported that the city
had been laid out into districts, and
that the work of canvassing had begun.
Mr.. G. 3. Stanley was then called for
as zone who was from across the
water, y and he responded briefly. He
said that from what those had recently
been across the water to their native
land told him, he felt sure that there
had been progress made in Mr. Parnell's
cause. Mr.. j. T. Fortune then favored
the meeting with recitation. Mr.
Manley followed with brief account
of the mass meeting held week ago in
Detroit, which he had attended. Faith
er Riley, the treasurer OF the National
l. eague, had been present at that meet
ing, and the speaker had taken the lib
erty to invite him to st. Paul. He
hoped the organization would endorse
che invitation. Some discussion fol-
lowed as to the proper way of sending
the money, this being decided on, the

Louis David Eeil was hanged at Re
gina, Northwest Territory, Monday
morning ali twenty three minutes past
eight O'clock. The sun shone its bright
est rays Oh the horrible scene, and ali
things seemed that the dssSs; was far more
suited for q bright future rather than
the last day on earth OF man who has
the whole world divided on tlesentence,
as to the justice on injustice, and final
end. He was Informed on Sunday that
the messenger bearing his death war
rant arrived, and he manifested relief
at the announcement. He spent most
OF the night in prayer, speaking occas-
sianally to the priest and the sheriff.
/ He neither desired to pose as a man
/ who had done great deeds or as martyr.
He met his fate like a man, and when
summoned to the scaffold his steps was
firm and he was composed. Reil's was
case OF q very serious nature, and one
which nation has the right TO protect
itself by severe penalties. There are a
number OF reasons why the hanging OF
Rel should not have been. The gov
eminent acknowledged after the HALF
| breeds had taken up arms, that they
had been wronged, and that the Half
breeds were entitled TO redress. And
then after acknowledging that a wrong
had been done by the government made
the hanging of the leader in the upris-
ing an act of cruelty and tyranny. It is
said also, that the man mlnd was un-
balanced Let the latter mention carry
the weight it may, the French portion
Of the Canadian population may prove
more dangerous to the government than
many may think. If it had not been
admitted Jnat the Half-breeds had
serious and cruel wrongs to complain
of the hanging Of their leader would
be justifable AS it is, it was reveng-
ful act, and showed coWardice and
weakness on the part Of the Canadian
government.

He Used The Doctors Pass.

A well known Philadelphia barber
has among his customers a prominent
physician. Some time ago the physi-
clan mentioned to his barber, whose
name is John, that he had received a
pass to Atlantic City, and as he did not
care TO use it he would present it to
him. John joyfully accepted the pass.
and the following Sunday started for
the city by tine sea. just outside OF
Camden the conductor came through.
carefully examined the pass and scru-
tinted its holder In a few minutes he
came rushing back, and addressing the
astonished barber said: Doctor. a lady
has been taken taken very i'll in the for
ward car. Please go in and see what
you can do for her"
John was pushed into the other car
in an entirely dazed condition, and
found a lady had tainted. Herhusband
was chatting her hands, and the con-
ductor informed him that he brought
DR.. , the celebrated physician, who

John by this time had recovered his
senses, and commanded that he window
should be raised. He then asked it any
person had brandy (he had flask in
his own pocket, but did not dare to
produce it,, and when it was brought
he moistened the Woman's lips and
rubbed her forehead with ice water. In
few minutes she recovered, and her
husband publicly thanked the doctor
for his skill and kindness. All pleasure
had flown for the unhappy barber. The
conductor on every trip through the
car addressed him as ssDr. -" Upon
his arrival at Atlantic City John feared
that he might be denounced as fraud,
and skunk around the back streets until
the first train left for Philadelphia,
when he paid his fare and returned
home, yowing that he would never
travel on another mans pass.

not expect to De a candidate again.
Senator Hale thinks Blaine will have
something to say, however, ABOUT who
will be nominated by the Republicans
in 1885. Another gentleman who has
recently seen Mr.. Blaine says the latter

The convention of the National
League of Great Britain was a great
and important sue. ess. The delegates
assembled in Glasgow on Saturday III
very large numbers under the presI-1
dcncy Of MT. T. p. O'Connor, and their
deliberations were well worthy OF the
crisis which they met to consider.
While English politicians have been
abusing each other for trying to secure
the Irish vote, the delegates OF our
exiled race, subIimely eontemptuous OF
their contentious, agreed UNANIMOUSLY
to resolution declaring on behalf OF
the electors they represent, that they
would be guided solely atthe election by
the views of Mr.. Parnell and the Irish
Party. tits admitted that many OF the
Lancashire seats depend onthe ballots Of
Iri;h electors, and that they hold the
balance of power in nearly sixty con-
stituencies all told. The Irish Party,
OF course, hold themselves perfectly
free as to which side they Will recon-
mend their conntrymen to support, and
are no more committed to the Tories
than to the Wings. The matter will be
decided purely in the interest OF Ireland
according to the best judgment that
can be formed at the latest moment for
arriving at a decision, and we feel sure
that the gratitude of lrishmen all over
the world will be given to the patriotic
and far-seeing delegates at the Glasgow
convention for the wise determination
at which they have arrive on this mo-
mentous question.

BE PREFERRED DEATH.
Tragic Scene in Buffalo Court Upon Being
Sentenced for Life.

| In the Supreme Court at Buffalo, N.
Y, last week, Thomas Ford was found
guilty of murder in the second degree
| for killing John Bingham nine weeks
ago. Ford's defense was that he saw
three men kicking his son on the
ground and had interfered. In the row
Bingham, one of the men, was fatally
stabbed. Before passing sentence Judge
Corlett asked:
'sDo you remember about the knife?''
lit was just a itt1> knife; my coat
and overalls were covered with blood
from the wound on my head. don't
think l have had a fair Judgment; /
want to know if there is any man in
this court room who would stand by
and see three fellows kicking the dead
body of his son?'
An officer told Ford not to talk i'll
that way, but he said: Mature COM
PEELED me to help my son." He added
that the witnesses had perjured them
selves.
1.-The sentence is that you be confined
in the State prison at Auburn for the
remainder OF your natural life, said
the judge.
Grant me death, your honor" said
Ford, excitedly 81 would rather die
than go to State prison for life. y
Before being taken back to jail Ford
said dramatically: Let me have the
death penalty; for if you don't you'll
have to watch me. will never spend
my life in State prison
1t was feared by the jail authorities
that Ford might attempt suicide, and
precautions were taken to prevent it.
When at Auburn he said: II wish some
lawyer would appeal my case. [ don't
deny doing the sticking, although |
don't remember it. 1t was case Of
self-defense. When I was hit by those
fellows | must have bled two quarts Of
blood. 1t seems terrible to go to prison
for the rest of my life. There is hardly
a man in the world who would not 60
to the assistance of his son if he saw
him lying on the ground as if dead, with
three men kicking him Strongly
protesting against the sentecne of the
court, he prayed that the vengeance Of
Almighty GOD would fall on the heads
of his accusers, saying they had per-
jured themselves at the trial.

TO predict that in another year ireland

simply ask that they have q voice in

10 obey. In these demands they are
right, and the world Is convinced of il.
