MONAGHAN
Mr. John Mexican, the newly-elected
member for South Monaghan has been
the recipient of a large number of con-
gratulatory kilograms on the occasion
of his return, including messages from
MIR. John Redmond, NJ. T., Chairman,
OF the Irish party, and Most Rev. DR..
Owens, bishop of Clogher.
MAYO.
The Coercionists are ut their wits
ends, and the latest proof of the fact
is afforded by the intelligence that the
name of Mr.. Conor O'xelly, NJ. P, has
been removed from the commission of
peace. Mr.. O'Kellys constituents will
esteem this an additional distinction
heaped on him. The cause of his re-
movai (allegcD is that he visited his
brother Leaguers (of whom there were
ten in prison. The lord chancellor ut
once struck his name off the roll of
1nagistrates-though, as he is chairman
of the Mayo county council that is M
illegal act The best answer to the
cowardly treatment of Mr.. O'Kelly by
the lord chancellor was given by the
Irish party in the British House of
Commons a few evenings later, when
the Mayo member reappeared there,
and was greeted by the Irish party
with cheers that astonished the min.
istry and their slavish supporters.
There are, we believe, about fifty Ma.
tionalists still under lock and key.

demnatory resolutions against persons

received police protection. He founl
that boycotting existed in Ballymote.
Tubbercurry, Chaffpool and Easky.
Forty seven persons We're exposed to
boycott. He had no doubt the author
tiles had all this properly presented to
them, and had it under consideration,
but he felt it his duty 20 markedly en-
phasize this intolerable crime of com
bination to boycott with view to
urging the adoption Of most active
measures to protect peaceable citizens.
