I
The Freeman's Journal says that a
the request OF the Catholic members O
Parliament the lord mayor Of Dublin
convened meeting to-day for the pur
pose OF discussing the Pope's rescript
Resolutions were adopted trayersin&
the statements by which The Pope jus
titles the rescript and assuring the Pope
unalterable attachment to him IN bis
spiritual capacity, and firmly and re
spectfully, but emphatically refusing
to recognize his right to interfere in
Irish politics.
The London correspondent Of the
Liverpool Daily Post writes: The con-
duct of the Dublin Castle authorities
III the matter of public meetings IN
ireland becomes more inexplicable
every week. Oae day MI. O'Brien is
not allowed to speak at all; on another
the authorities give all the facilities IN
their power. Mr.. O'Brien addressed
his meeting to-day at Fermoy, and the
all powerful Government that has sup
pressed everything and killed the Land
League, humbly sought permission to
be allowed to have a reporter on the
platform. The remarkable thing is
when the Government make a show of
military and police there is disturbance
and bloodshed, but when the people are
allowed to manage affairs for them
selves all is quiet and orderly. Mr..
Balfour has certainly made strong
argument in favor Of granting the Irish
people power to govern themselves.
