RELIEF FOR SUFFERING FRESHMEN.
kppea! of the Local Branch of the National
League to Indianapolis Citizens.

In accordance with the spirit and action of the
meeting held at the Supreme Court room, on
last Thursday evening, an appeal has been issued
by the local branch of the Irish National League
of America in behalf of the evicted tenant
farmers of ireland. After quoting the words of
Charles Stewart Parnell in his recent address,
the letter says: I'VE are keeny sensible of the
fact that the generous American public have
already been repeatedly taxed to aid this cause,
but when we have, as it were, by our encour-
agement and support conducted Ireland to the
very porch of the temple of liberty, 1t is too
late to desert her or abate one lot OF heart or
hope in the ultimate triumph of her cause. 1t
is certain, from the present attitude Of the land
lords and the government, that the people of
Ireland will, this ensuing winter, be subjected
to test which will try them very severely, and it
should be the highest aim OF their friends
here to leave nothing undone to sustain them
through the ordeal. We most earnestly appeal
to oil lovers of right and justice and more
especially to all men of the Irish race, to con-
tribute at once in accordance with their means,
to assist in protecting our people from the brutal
and bArbarous tactics resorted to by the pres
eDt government Of England for the extin-
enlistment OF their most cherished aspirations"
