Main street he appealed to the people
Ito go back to their homes and avoid the
danger Of collision with the c0nstabu-
larry.
/ The police terrorism under which the
|town has labored since the beginning
of the fight with Smith Barry was IL
Iustrated to-day in a fashion to make
men feel that resistance to it was a
sacred duty-tAat submission meant
degradation. Even at this early stage
OF the days proceedings Colonel Cad
della man who shows his Indian train
ing In his yellow, cadaverous cheeks, his
insoleDt tongue, and his domlneering
brow-had frequently shouted, as he
shook his stick at the people, Get off
the streets or iii make you," while at
his back were his thirty armed men and
four cars, each with it's notetaker, to
send to the four corners of the world
should Mr.. O'Brien take it into his
head to despatch himself in these direc-
tions! The people throughout the day
conducted themselves spleDdldly. You
could see in their eyes fierce desire to
be up and at the police, and up and at
the police they would have been un-
|doubtedly were it NOT for the great res
training influence Of Mr.. O'Brien's ad-
monitiOns.
/. It was the triumph of love over hate
the terrible hatred Of the police con-
Equered and ovtrmastered bv the abound
ing love and affection for Mr.. O'Brien.
That love and affection showed itself in
the most touching forms during Mr..
EO'Brien's progress through the town.
AS he walked down the main thorough
fare every shop still free from the
leprous hand of the desolator, every
side street, every laneway, sent forth
its groups Of men, women and children
who-unmindtul of the lowering pre-
Isence of Coiouel Caddell and his guard,
and unheeding the other large forces Of
EconstabularY stationed at all the street
corners of the tOwn-cbeered, and wild
ly cheered, as Iipperary throats only
can cheer. When he reached the west
Iof the town, over which Smith. Barry
holds no dominion, and saw the crowd
Ned condition Of William O'Brien street
I formerly Henry stroet). up which he
was advancing still closely followed by
the omin0us Caddell looked
very ripe for a collision with the con-
stabuiarv. @
| REAL PREsERvERs OF THE PEACE.
| MIR. O'Brien at once halted his friends,
and at bis urgent request, Father
Power, Mr. O Brien Dalton, Mr.. Roman
MIR. M. O'Dwyer, and others enrolled
themselves as especial constables,
charged with preserving the peace; and
preserve it they did much more effect
lively than Col. Caddell with his con-
stabulary, and the proclamation thrown
in, could have done il left unaided
rhe people, with uncovered heads
shouted their greetings to Mr.. O'Brier
as he passed up the street.; everyone
rushed TO grasp him by the hand
prayers and blessings were heaped upoI
his head, and many old women kneIl
down and craved his blessing. These
touching scenes reminded one Of his
own eloquent words at Galway, when
he declared he felt like taking off his
hat and kneeling down befose the hero
ism and self-sacrifice of Tipperary. /,
seemed indeed as if all Tlpperary h;4d
taken off It's hat and was kneeling be
fore William O'Brien. We were now
in
NEW TIPPERARY,
and as we were about to turn intc
the passage leading to the mart OF
bazaar for the evicted shopkeepers. the
police party made a rush and barred
the entrance, allowing Mr.. O'Brien and
| a few others only to pass. Mr.. O'Brien
asked Colonel Caddell what this move
ment meant,
81 want no meeting to be held in
here, = replied the r. M.
There will be no meeting held here
said MIR. O,Brien, ''you needn't have
the slightest doubt about that
Caddell relaxed somewhat at this.
He withdrew the Gordon from the
entrance and followed Mr.. 0 Brien and
his friends into the mart. The works,
/ am glad to say, have made consider
able progress since Yi-ited them last
Monday: The staff Of trad desmen EN-
ployed has been increased by twenty
carpenters from Limerick, and large
patches Of N asons and carpenters from
Dublin, Cionmel and Waterford will
also be turned on the works on Monday.
Mr.. o Brien examined the plan Of the
various works with keen interest, and,
after walking over the adj dining fields,
