He said that seventeen counties of
Ireland are now under the crimes act,
or proclaimed" as the English gov
eminent calls it, Seven of the large
cities are included in this proclama-
ton. Dublin, the capital of ireland,
is one of these, and yet Mt the last
session of the assizes court, the judges
ON the bench We're presented with
white gloves, signifying that there
was not a criminal case on the calcn-
dar. This shows the absurdity of the
proclamation of Dublin under the
crimes act. Ireland today is the most
crimeleSS country III the void. The
United Irish League is w.rking for
land reform, for the compulsory sale
of land by landlords. who have no
right to the land. which was confis
Gated from the Irish people in Crom-
wells time; for the restoration of the
Irish parliament in Dublin: the break
ing up of the great grazing tracts, and
the returning of them to the Irish
people for cultivation, thereby giving
them Il means of livelihood, and put

is draining Ireland. The surplus rev.

IN from Ireland contrary to the pro-
visions of the act of union, the United

states. Chicago will send over sew
eMy delegates and Massachusetts is
expected to send over $50. President
Finerty will address a big meeting to

meeting of the Duluth branch of the
United Irish League will be held in
the near future, and the election Of a
delegate to the national convention will

enthusiastic over the convention and
will possibly send Il number of dele

the league are the only Unsuitable ones
to pursue under the present circum-
stances in Ireland. An effort will be
made to get one of the representatives
from Ireland at the national conven-
ton in Boston to visit Duluth ana
