IRISH ALLIANCE.

Appeal Issued by the National ana
Executive Councils.
New YORK. Oct. 6.-The National and
Executive Councils of the Irish Alliance
to-day issued from their headquarters the
following appeal:
'I0 all Friends Of Irish Independence:
The convention which recently organized
in Chicago the Irish National Alliance
has placed It's guidance and government
IN the hands OF tho undersigned for the
ensuing two years. The purpose of the
alliance has already been sufficiently
proclalmed-to obtain the complete in
dependence of Ireland by any means con-
sIstent with the laws OF nations.
Organizations. like Governments,
have TO depend on their revenue for the
successful accomplishments oftheir duties
The sinews of war for both are abso-
luteiy necessary, both for organization
and propaganda. England, the arch
enemy OF ireland, has at her disposal
i'm IMMENSE resources, the accumulation of
centuries OF conquest and piracy. She
has 1t IL her power TO control and mold
public opinion in her own interests.
Even In free America she possesses this
power to an astonishing extent Her
side or the Irish question has filled the
American mind for quarter of century
ever since lreland's friends at home
and abroad committed the costly fault
of trusting to Parliamentary agitation to
achieve the liberty of their motherhood.
NOW, however, totally different poll
icy has been inaugurateG. The absolute
claim of Ireland to distinct national life
has been placed forcibly before the world
by the unanimous voice of the recent
Irish National Convention held in Chi
cago. Provinoialism has been cast aside.
aud the national demand of Ireland,
which slumb bered but did not die, is again
III the ascendant. We are determined
that IL shall so remain, and that no effort
of ours. no sacrifice on our part, will be
left untried or unperiOrmed until victory
crowns our successful efforts.
I'VE appeal, therefore, to all friends
of the Independence of Ireland to aid us
in the good work by placing at our dis
posal the means requisite for its accom-
plishment. You are asked to subsor be
in accordance with your means, and to
forward your subscriptions as speedily
as posi- bic To the Treasurer of the Irish
National Alliance, Hon. II. V. F'itzpat-
rick, lo3 Twenty-second street, Chicago,
ILL.,"
