the part of the anti-European element

ASKS COOPERATION.
Thomas Adds Emmet's Address
Friends of Home Rule,


Friends of Home Rule.
Thomas Adds Emmett, ~ D., presi-
dent of the National Federation of
America, has issued an address ''To the
Friends in America of Home Rule for
Ireland" He asks cooperation IN
bringing about Home Rule. "In our gen.
eration," he says, ''the Irish people
have suffered and almost lost their
cause when success seemed within easy
grasp. For months past every effort
has Leen paralyzed through the acts of
one man, most trusted of all. who
sinned and fell by his own hand. The
necessity for assisting the starving and
evicted tenants of Ireland was deeply
appreciated in this country anG a noble
effort was made to effect the purpose.
Mr.. Parnell was pledged to carry out
this object, but he has betrayed his trust.
His continuous selfish subordination of
the welfare of the Irish peasantry to his
own personal ends in the matter of
Home Rule is no less conspicuous. The
fund consists of over 100000, the great
er portion of which was raised in this
country. This he now holds by false
pretenses and to forward his own per-
sonal ends. The opinion held by the
large majority of thinking men in
this country, if expressed, would
be that Mr.. Parnell is now politically
dead. The time has now arrived for us
to pronounce our denunciation on the
one hand, and on the other hand our
fullest sympathy with those who repre-
sent the true interests Of Ireland"
The address closes with statement
about the organization Of the National
Federation Of America, telling how it
will collect and transmit funds for
eVicted tenants
