rs TIPPERARY
zsa An important meeting Of the Irish Ne
.tional Federation was held in the town
of Tipperary on Sunday, May 2lst. under
the presid ency OF the Rev. David Hum
phreys, g. G. The attendance was large
and representative, and the greatest en-
thnsiasm was displayed throughout the
proceedings. The Rev. Chairman said
the first clauses Of the Home Rule bill,
which contained the kernel Of the whole
bill, had become as good as law, Home
Rule was only question of 9 very short
time. There was no Irishman living
whose constant, unsel6sh. chivalrous de.
vo ion to fatherland had better merited
the esteem and admiration OF his fellow
countrymen than Michael Davitt. And
that was the man who had been hunted
ont of Parliamentary life, The speaker
then referred at length to he'proceed-
ings in connection with recent local pro-
secutions and referred IN strong terms
to the decisions of certain magistrates.
On the motion Of MIR. John Vincent
Bourke, G. E, seconded by Mr. Michael
Dwyer, P. i. G., resolution was unani-
mously carried condemning in the
strongest terms the manner in which
justice was administered in Tipperary.
TYRONE.
His Eminencs Cardinal Logue visited
Dungannon, on May Oath, for the first
time since his elevation to the cardinal
ate. A conference Of the clergy Of the
deanery was held, after which several
addresses were presented to his Enin-
ence on behalf of thu laity of DUNCAN
non. After returning thanks for the
warm reception accorded to him, Cardi-
nal Logue referred at length to the Ia
mentable crisis Of the past few years.
He condemned ,he attempts that are be-
ing made to set priests and people
against one another, and strongly urged
all to unite. That, he said, is the duty
of good Catholics. and am sure the
people of his archdiocese are Thoroughly
Catholic at heart, and prepared to do
their duty as good Catholics and as
Irishmen, and that they will see for
themselves by this time that it is
neither for the interests of their religion
or country to take part in dissension.
Let them join as one man, and work
strenuously for the go ID of their Church
and country. II they do SO, though we
may have to wait we have had to
wait for centuries sooner or later the
cause of Ireland will be sure to triumph.
