 In the death of MT Meany Connecticut journalism has lost gifted writer. Though he was only a few months con- uected with the State press, his brilliant editorials won for him prominent place in the foremost 4anks of writers. 'Tis true he did not generally write on subjects which afforded his contemporaries oppOr- tunities for discussion. But the high liter ary merit of his articles made them wei come reading. His specially was writing on foreign affairs, particularly on the checkered history of his own country. It was only on such a theme that he poured sentence after sentence of the purest Eng fish in the most eloquent and lofty vein His ardent patriotism never for moment during his eventful career Jagged him With all the greatness of his big sympa thetic Irish heart, he loved Ireland. IT early life-in his childhood al1nost-he consecrated himself to the cause of his country. That act of consecration ht never forgot nor done aught inconsisten with it. Personally MT Meany was the most lovable of men. He was generous te fault. He could not look on suffering without arueliorating it if it was ill his power. Ve,y often he has h9lpedsa needy friend beyond his means. He had cheer ful, hopeful disposition that helped him tt overcome the many difficulties which bese his life.-New Britain Herald.
 Stephen J. Meany has been a figure il Irish politics since the days of O'Connell ) He was mixed up, one way or another, witI every Irish movement In the O'Connel movement, in the AS movement, in the Fenian movement, in the Land League movement - in every movement for o1 about Ireland, he was to be found some where. He was in Ireland the time of the Fenian movement in '67, and was arrested 1T d, pack -juried, convicted, sentenced te penal servitude, and sent to English pris ons to serve his time. His Speech in the dock" in Dublin is about the best of the speeches made by the prisoners. He was released from prison after one or two years and came to America. He made years.-Evening Sun.
 The death of Stephen J. Meany, ,who had but recently assumed an editorial position in the State, on the WATERBURY DEMO GRAF, removes a brilliant man, widely known throughout the world by his efforts in behalf of the cause of Ireland He had been connected with the editorial profes sion in Connecticut but a short time only but had made his mark as a forceful and prolific writer op live toplcs.-Hartford Post.
 The death of Stephen J. Meany, an an nouncement of which was made yesterday has caused widespread sorrow. The patriot journalist was remarkable man, and some idea of his ab .lity and charact. may be gained from the very interesting sketch of his life printed elsewhere Meli len Journal.
