Parnell afterward ad- dressed meeting at Freshford. He was quite violent, and referred to the seceders as miserable guttersnipes, who had been dragged from obscurity by himself:
 It Was Not 8 Cordial Reception.

During the past week we have receiv- ed many congratulations for and in dorsements of our editorial in regard to excursions and pack-peddlers. Some of our exchanges hardly know what position to take on the question; but Editor Bolles of the New Milford Gazette is not afraid to state his convic- ions or discharge his duty to the resi- dents of the Housatonic valley and he announces that said editorial. or the greater part of it, will be copied by The Gazette in its issue of the 18th inst. The merchants in the Housatonic valley will undoubtedly soon take some action in regard to excursions. We stated last week that our columns are open to anyone who thinks that excur- sions and pack-peddlers benefit country towns. We are ready to argue the question with anyone who wishes to enter the arena.

Earring ton because he was the representative of MT. Parnell. "We must choose" ," said MT. Breslin, "between an Irish party and an English party, and we prefer the former" 1" MT. Harrington thanked them for their kindness. He thought that the true spirit of the American people would be true to the instinct of the Irish people and would support Parnell.
 He was not without hope that some union could be made. He would strive to unite the two factions The party might be delayed, but no delay will justify the people in abolishing their independence. Even the postponemento of home rule would not permit of the Irish turning upon their leader that had done so much.

We are sorry to learn that Editor Vaill has been sued for libel We do not think he would wilfully and mali ciously injure any one. but it seems that one of his correspondents has stirred up little breeze, whether Intentionally or not we cannot say, but we hope the free advertising which The Herald will get will more than compensate Neighbor vaill for the fine or damages which any righteous judge or jury will impose. It is very unjust that editors must take the chances of being sued for libel when ever the public welfare seems to demand that newspapers ventilate the iniqulty or oppression of some corporation or some political combination, the neglect of duty or breach of trust of some pub lie official, or expose the numberless schemes to defraud or debauch indi- viduals, the state or the nation.

The remark made by Bro. Ingram,
that 1t cost $40 day to keep the late
Democratic convention in water has
been taken up by the Republican
papers, and they derisiveIy inquire
II 1t cost $40 day for water, how
much was the whisky bill?-.Scimi-
tar.
II was expected the Republican
party would try to make capital out
of this matter, and therefore while
Brother Mcdowell was taking up the
collection to pay for the water, we
employed an expert to ascertain the
cost of the whisky and he figured il
out exactly $40 % per day. Now it
would be well for the Republicans
and prohibitionists to tell how much
their whisky cost per day, as neither
convention paid any water bill.
