WATERFORD.
At the meeting of the Waterford
Corporation, on March Sd, Mr.. j. A..
Power, mayor, presiding, Mr. David
Hyland proposed the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted:
THAT, in view of the vast importance
of the legislation promised or fore
sladowed in the present parliament,
to the industrial, commercial, and
financial interests of Ireland, we deem
it essential that the United Irish
Party should have the assistance of
those patriotic representatives who
have proved their capacity to serve
Ireland faithfully and effectively in
the past; that, as our fellow-ctzcn,
Mr.. Thomas Sexton, has repeatedly
shown statcsmanlillc grasp of many
of the questions now approaching So
luton, more especially those involving
financial issues, elrccting every class
of the community, we, the corporation
OF his native city, urge it upon him as
Il patriotic duty once more to accept
the responsibilities of an Irish repre-
sentative, and assist in the statcsnan-
like work that it now seems possible
TO achieve for Ireland; and that we
respectfully suggest to Mr.. ]. Il. Red
mond, chairman of the Irish party,
and the Irish constituencies that the
earliest opportunity should be awaited
of to secure the return of Mr.. Sexton
to parliament"
WEXFORD.
The Rev. Father Kinsclla has is
sued an urgent appeal OIL behalf of the
Clongorey tenants cvictcd and rcstor-
ed, many Of whom are now in sore
distress. The story of those tenants
is familiar to our readers. Fifty-live
of them were evictcd in 1888 and 1889
for nonpayment of an impossible rack
rent. Their homes, the creation of
their industry, or the Inheritance from
their forcfathers, were levcllcd with
the ground. This wanton destruction
was meant to be the outward and
visible sign of the tenants complete
and final severance from the soil.
But the anticipatiOns of the cvictors
were not realized. After ten wears
Punishment and more, the tenants,
two years and Il half ago, were restor-
cd,-no longer tenants at will, but as
simple owners of the soil they till.
Yet was their restoration incomplete.
The homes from which they had
been expelled We're as has been said,
Wantonly destroyed. 1t remained for
those, and foremost amongst them
their faithful and Jealous pastor,
Father Kinsclla, who had helped them
in the old holdings to help them also
to new holdings; and it is for this
Father Kinsell asks the aid of the
public to find for him the limited sum
which is necessary to complete the
good work.
