were The appointment permanent one. it
would De open to grave objection, on sew

of official Irish experience. etc Bnt when
the Government have not the men they

organ, announces the appointment with
hi-concesled disgust, declaring it to be
starting. a special Commissioner tele-
graphed from Dublin this morning that
General Buffers appointment is to mean
flrst-a severe pressure on all landlords to
compel them to make temporary reduc-
ton of rents. Secondly-the EMPLOYMENT
OF horse, foot and dragons, without stint
and without mercy, TO evict tenants who
refuse to pay after their landlords had
made adequate reductions.
DILLON DEFIANT.
The temper of the people has not been
improved by the prosecution of Dillon and
| the proclaiming of the Land League meet
Ings. Speaking on Lord Clanricardes
| estate yesterday, Dillon made an even more
| defiant speech than before, ridiculing the
| fifty manuscript pages of complaint which
the Government caused to be placed in his
hands. After exhortiDg the tenants to per-
severe he told them they had big fish to
deal with, and If they beat him there Yves
not an estate in Ireland but would be only
too glad to follow in the same path. He
said, in conclusion Whatever thew NAV

penny of rent from the Clanricarde estate

Messrs. Healy and Sexton. Great crowds
surrounded the building, and the Court
room and corridors were packed with peO-

cheering by the people when he arrived.
His passage into Court was amid enthusi-
astic applause. Healy, on behalf of Dill
Ion, applied for an adjournment of the

only last night, and as the Crowns aflida-
Wits were exceedingly yoluminous. the de-
fense would require more time to study
them properly. The counsel for the Gov

APPEAL To IRISH AMERICANS.
LINCOLN (Neb), November 3Oth.-Tle
following circular has been addressed bv
President Fitzgerald to the State delegates
to the Irish National League of America.
in view OF the present crisis in Ireland
SIR: The Tory Government of Great Britain
has once more eyineed its incapacity to govern
I Ireland by other means than coercion. Our
! brethren in Ireland are again called upon to
| show their courage, suffering and selfsaerifce
| and to prove that they are the heirs OF their
fathers heroism. The time has come when we
should prove by our actions that our hearts beat
in unison with theirs in common love for Ire
land and liberty. few weeks since we prom
| ised that, should England again have RECOURSE
| to coercion, we would stand by them, We must
now redeem that pledge. Public meetings are
proclaimed, soldiers are being crowded irto the
country to overcome the people, and should
opportunity oher, TO slaughter them. Prison
cells await the nations leaders and every
engine of oppression and uncons titutionaI
legislation is about to be used to prop
up tyranny and Injustice and TO crush
the legitimate aspirations of Ireland We
must see to It that our promise of assistance was
no idle boast. State delegates are called upon
to proceed at once to the work of organization
OF the League in their respective states and
Provinces. They should use every means to in
crease the membership of existing branches and
establish new ones, and should urge the officers
of branches within their Jurisdiction TO devise
means to promptly raise funds and forward
them TO the National Treasurer, Rev. Charles
o'Reilly D. D. at Detroit, Michigan, in aid of
the anti-eviction fund. We must not slana idle
in the face of the present crisis. Experience
has proven the futility Of coercion to crush the
determined and united people. With the loyal
aid of her exiled children, Ireland must come
out of this struggle unconquered, uneonouer-
able, victorious. Yours faithfully,
JOHN FITZGERALD, President.
TO ASSIST IRELAND
LONDON, November 30th THE British
Home Rule Association and the Home
Rule Association of the United Kingdom
will amalgamate under the name of Home
Rule Union, and support single ticket in
future elections for the purpose of assisting
the Irish people in obtaining the rights Of
local self-government. A conference of the
I two associations is called for December 9th.
\ THE ALL-ABsoRBIYG IRISH QUESTION.
New YORK, December 1st-A. MT. P.
O'Connor's special from London to the Sta,
says; Harrington holds out firmly against
all attempts OF the Gladstonians to bring
about a reunion of the party. lie is cred
tied with having stated positively that
nothing would induce him to serve
again under Gladstone. All his inter-
est, prejudices and connections bind him
to the side of the landlords Ii is given
out by the Tories that every step taken hy
the Government in Ireland had had his
approval. lie has consented to strongly
worded motions TO be submitted to the
coming conference of the Unionists, hav-
ing the general effect of indorsing the Irish
policy of the Government. A section of
the Unionists however, disapprove of CO.
ercion measures, and will probably make
stand on that point.
Labouchere, speaking at q Radical meet
ing OF Brighton, announced that efforts
would be made to nominate a Liberal or
Radical in every English and Scotch con-
stituency for which . Unonist now stands,
unless the member accepts Gladstone's
Irish policy. The Radicals who thirk
with Labouchere are determined to force
even Gladstone to admit that no compro-
mise IS possible on the Irish question
