DUBLIN.
The proposal for the removal of
Nelson's pillar to the upper end of
O'Connell street has received very large
support from the citizens of Dublin, of
all creeds and classes. The reasons ad-
duced for the proposal are so business
like and conclusive that no attempt has
been made to seriously answer them.
From an artistic point of view alone
the removal would be of great advan-
tage to what has been justly described
as the finest thoroughfare in Europe,
and in this aspect of the question it is
worth mentioning that no fewer than
twenty. five architects of eminence in

The officials of Tullamore jail arc
pursuing their old policy of exaspera
tion and torture upon political prison
ers. From statements made by one in
q position to know, it would seem that
the latest victim Of this policy Of slow
murder Is Mr.. Mclnnerney of the Linn
erick Leader. The annoyance and the
torture inflicted upon this gentleman
are such as could only be conceived IN
the petty minds of those debased
officials with whom Mr.. Balf0ur has
surrounded himself as the fitting in
struments by which to carry out his
OdiOuS policy

recently given by the sub-commission-
ers on their application to have fair
rents fixed. Mr.. Porter, the govern

tenants to make valuation of their
holdings.
