Is SLIGO.
Police "proclamations'' only multiply
public meetings in Ireland. One would
think it about time that this manifest
axiom We're mastered by the Castle.
On Oct. IL there was a wholly wanton
proclamation of public meeting in
Moylough, county Sligo, by Mr.. Alan
Bell, one of the marionettes set up by
the Castle as the censors Of free speech
in Ireland. The meeting had been
openly called, by placard, to promote
the cause of home rule and compulsory
sale. Mr.. Bell suspected "intimida-
ton" ON affidavit, and 200 policemen
were drafted into the town to set his
suspicious to rest. The result was, of
course, a most successful night meeting
in Moylough, and half dozen success
full day meetings in the districts
around, in which Mr.. O'Dowd, NJ. p,
aud Mr.. Conor O'kelly, NJ. p, partici-
pated. The proclamation was us usual
the most useful incentive to enthusi-
assn. Yet the unteachable Castle will
make itself equally contemplate at the
very next opportunity.
