Appauded i3 an abatract of THE LECTGRE. I thank you wi-t sll my heact for this warm welcome from your warm hearts. Iaccaptit,and I regard it not only and not chiefly as an expres- sion of good will to myseli, but as another proof of that grand teait of the geand ola Irish nat'on—that ex: uberant gratitude with which it has alwa i y man who hss ever tried, however numbly, however feebly, if fearlcssly and sincerely, to lighten the heavy load f woe under which it has stageered for canturies. Ireland is the Geothsemane of Eu- rope. Taere is more sinless sorrow there then in any other Christian Ifyou tura to England aod demand to know the causes of this Irish mi ety, sho will give you reasons as plen- tifal and as pitiless na the tigers in her owa Indian junglee—jungles that were once popilous provincss uotil the native inhabitants wera exter- minated by British troops “‘in the intereats of civi'iz: opium trade. England will tell ycu that ibe chief reasone of the misery of Ireland ate because the Irish are Catholics, bacause the Irish are indo leat, becanee the Irish are drunken, because the Irish are extravagant, ba- cause the Irish aro liwlass. They give other ressons, as, for examplo, Ireland is over-populated, and that the Irish, well—that the Irish are not English, These are not the answers of the illiterate rab- ble. You wiil find them stated in the choicest English, in the writings of Mscaulay and of Froude, in the let- tors of Lord Lansdowae,in the spoech- es of Beaconsfield, in tho srticles of Blackwood, and the editorlals of The London Times. It you ask mo what the chief cause of Irish mi , answer in one word—'andlordism; the merciless exactiona of ths lords of the soil, backed by British power—he legalized robbery of a race of resident toiters for the beaeft of a class of ab- aentee loafers, Now, to-night, while ) seem to follow no regalar plan ile I shall ramble from topic to topic and from county to county—I believe that I ehall show you bafcre Tsit down that my answer is a true one, and that tho answers of the Eag- lieharo malignant slanders of the Irish race.

Driving from the fertils sea coast to the barren in- land the *“ Wild Irish,” as they were called, the Ulster men maintalned that as they stood a good chance of dying st the hands of the infariated natives they must also have a good chancs of living. On this acsount they main- tained their demsnds for liberal land Jaws, and they have reaped the benefit, He said that_the reason why the pro- testant counties of Ulster wers more prospercus than the Catholic couatics of west of Ireland was because Ulster had enjoyed theas rights for from two to three centurier, whereas in the Catholic counties the tenants bad been .mere teants at will You ak me, said Mr. Redpath, whether all the Ulstermen are not op- posed tothe Land Leagas, 1 snswer no. Thero are a set of miserable snivelling factory menin Belfast who dapend for their living upon the eal> of Irish linens who have held a series of twenty meetings st which they passed three resolutions. The first denounced | the Land League and lawlessnees, tho second called for coercion, aud the third denouuced American agitators— referring to me. If the people of America would_refuse to buy one yard of Irish linen as long as the Ulster Orangemen remained out cf the Lzand League it woaldn’t b twen- ty-four hours beforo they would fall intoline. . THE EAST OF IRELAND. Passing from Ulster to the east of TIreland we en'er a country of unrivall- ed fertility and surpassing loveliness. Tts grazing farms produces ths best rass in Europe. Up to 1847 theesst of Ireland had been densely populated, bat from 1847 to 1851 the landlords, very few of whom had contributed ona shilling for the relief of thelr tenants, sent the crow-bar brigadea to bolt the cabins of the tenants, and then con- solidate their little holdiags uto large grazing farms, without giving them oneshillingof compansation for the im- provements and reclamations of gener- ations. Only one ruls was t=ae of every county of Ireland and that was that nolandlord ever cpen: one shillng in improving his estate, exept only that part of his estate that he hsld for his own use. The tenants reclaimed the 1and, fenced it, built housos and ma nurad tho land at their own expense. This had been tho rule for centurice, and yet outside ©of the protestant counties In Ireland, whenever ten- ant was evicted, and ha could be evicted at any time by his landlord, these improvemets were confizcated witbout compensation. After ihe people had been driven out, the new tenants were seldom glven leases, bat as they had large and fertile farme,and conld afford to pay emormous rants, evictions were comparatively rare. Hence came the fact that while thero to msrket, aud overy Dbasket | of eggs sold in_ ths towns. | Such hesrtless plandering has driven | uto exito 1,500,000 of Irish men, wo- | men and childven, and sent to their | graves another million and a_bali. | You askme, eaid tho lecturer, whether | 1 would apologize for the killing of | two landlords and the drivin: imto extle of as many moro. 1 anawor, No, neverluatil euough have beocjmurder. | ed to balaace the million snd & hal: | | | 80 Eaglish alandor which T havo per- { sonally refyted. Duoring eight fairs | T obacrved only four drunken Irish, of whom two wero men. Therd is more liquor drunk in Godly Scotland | to-day than there is in Ireland. That the Irish peazaatry live in squalor, no | ono will deny. But they daro not | make improvemonts upon their | farms and cabius for fear that the routs will at once be raised. Mr. Redpath's description of the miserable cabios, diet, clothing and surroundings of tho poasantry was | painfully realistic. Ho pricked the | bubble of Lord Landsdownes geteros- | d 1 the English papers | 1o more wreiched ton- | antry exists in the country than his, He implored th proposed to travel-in Ireland to buy all the guide books they cou their hands on and thea not to go ov any of the routes aelestod. At su the real misery while a helf a mile frcm the roads the most miserablo equalor and poverty could bs found, Mr, Redpath was the origizator of Boyeotting and gave a graphic secount of its orign. Boycott was & super- cilious upstart who scted as sge: for an absentes. In refusing to work on hie lands in forbidding ail intercourse with the family and ia laying him under ths bau of social ox- communication the Trish poople fired the first shot whose echoes have been 80 powerifal in awakening Ireland to a seuse of freodom and indspendenice. LOED LEITED. The killing of Lord Leitrim in 1878 next was taken up. Fronde claima that it was an agrarian musder in- spired by the land league. When it is considered that the league was not organized until nearly a yoar Ister, th malicions slander is sufficlontly re: futed. Lord Leitrim wes the seducer of a number of Irish peassnt girls. One of theso, to his enares, wrote to her brother, an Irish American, livingin Chicago, and toid him her pitiful story. That same day he drew bhis Ing! bank, purchased a return ticket to Treland, provided himeelf with an American rifle aca_smwmunition, and do his way to the scone of his sisters’ dishonor. He atstioned himself in the road, mnot in the darkness of might, but in broad was sometimes great distress and often famine in the west of Ircland, there was often only chronic misery in the cast of Ircland. In 1847 the Iandlords suddenly inslsted that their tenants, to whom thoy had previously refased leases, should tske lesses. What wes tho reason of this changa? Bacause Gladstone in 1870 pasied that bill, which he saya in the Qaeen's late speach had been of great bonefit to Ireland, and which was_honestly intended to extead a small part cf the Ulstor_system over the Oatholic counties of Ireland. The bill provided thal if « tenant was evic ted capriciously, the landlord should pay him a “fing” amounting to seven sunlight, and killed tho destroyer o Bissister's honor. It was not murder; it was logal execation. Now peoplo must consider the diforence in the oper tion of the la; Teoland snd America. Tn Amerlea it would have baen unjustifiable, becauas the would have provided a remed fn Trelasd the landlords placs them- selves above tho laws, and the fate of ontlaws has always been death. THE LAND LEAGUE. What has the land leaguo accom- plisted? In 1847 absentes landlords took from their tenants the lsst shil- ling of thelr ssvings. Tho land league l1st cummer advised the peza- years’ rent, and compensation for im provements made within 21 years, and ‘moderate recompense for unexhausted ‘manures. But under this 8o called liberal pro- viston neither free sales, fair rent or fixity of tenurs existed bocsuso that old scoundrel tae Duks of Leinster drew up a leass, called the “Linster lease” in which he was followed by all the other absentee laodlords. Un- der thislease the tepants were com- polled to take leasss by which they agroed to forfeit all the richts given to them under the act of 1870, if they were evicted. In the west of Ireland the temaus being very poor were never sble to fight the landlords in the courts. The lsw proceed- ings wero very expensive, and be- sides that every court was made up of ‘magistrates who were land- lorde, and_the Irish judiciary is the most partizan and corrupt judiciary in Earope. In 1871, one hundred thousand persona were evicted in Ire- land after this law came in operation, and not a single shilling was paid to them. This law was practic:lly a dead letter until last summer, when tho land leagne fought every case of evictionin the courts. Now it has been anch shameless defiance of thelaw,and the factthatthe Ulster custom does not prevent con- tinued advancement of th rents that has made the Ulster farmers join the land losgus. Lord Rossmore called a meeting of his tenanta to attend a maeting, whose object wes to protest against Iand sgitation. They obayed him and came, but the whole five tundred jotned the laad lsague on the spot. THE WEST OF IRELAND, Aod now in_spirit lot us taks the hoes from off our feet, ss we draw nigh tho holy ground of Connaught The chief sources of error in Amer- 10an commenta on Irish politics srise from the fact that because Ireland fs comparatively a small country, Awmer- izans naturaily suppose that the same climatic and_statutory laws govern cvery partofit. Now, from a scien- entific point of view, both as regards eociety and climate, there are two distinet Irelande—the east of Irclwnd and the west of Ireland. But studied th referencs to tho eystems of land tenure, there are three Irclancs, in and antagonistic privciples and cus- toms, First, the protestant counties <f Ulster; secondly tho cast of Ire- 1and; aod third, the west of Ireland. Iathe protestant coantles of the north the Ulstor custom prevatls, in the east of Treland, outside ot these couaties e long loases and largs farms, while in the west the vast majority of tie tenanta are tenantsat wi'l. Facts thiat are troe of oue of these divisions > not apply to any otber divislon. THE NORTA CF IRELAND. The lectarer then entered upon sn irteresting historical description of land tenurs system as it has cxisted in the morthern part of Ireland, especially in Ulster. The northern part of the cosntry has been for ihree hundred years under Protestant rule, and was originally eettled by colonies sent over from Scottard end Encland vader Henry VIIl. These colo at first oppressed by their landlords refused to submit, and the Eaglich goversment for fear of losing her rev- enue compsiled the landlords to eaact a syslem of land tenure which s con weived in what is ucw callea the three F's: Fair Ren', Fixity of Tenure, and FreeSale, Fixlty of Tenure mess that 1o tenent shall be evicted as long as hs pays hie rent, and free salo m: tiat the tenant ehall be regerded as the real owner of =l ihe improvements he makes on his farm, and shall have the right, if he Is evioted or chooes to leave, to sell these imzrovements. Fuir rent has prevailed in'tho_protes. which Mr. Redpath characterized as each of which there prevails distnct | b: tant counties of Ulster until 1847, | harve snd Munster, for there is nothing so sacred on this earth as human sorrow. Christianity has been called the wor- ship of sorrow, and if ttis definition be tho trus one, then the holy land of our duy is the west of Ireland. Every sod there has been wet with human tears. The murmurs of every rippling brook there, from time out of mind, have boen ac- companied by =u _invisible choras of sighs from breaking human hesris. Iivery breeze that has swept across her rroa moors has carried with it to the summits of her bloak mountain slopes, aud I trust far beyond them, the grozus and prayers of & brave but de- spairing peoplo. The son has never set on her sorrows, excipt to give slu:e to the pilying sters thst look own on_human’ woes that excel in number iheir own constellated hosts. I heve heard so much and ecen e much of the sorrows of the west that whon the memory of them brings them before me I stand appalled at_the vision. Agsin and again since I came back from Ireland, I have tried to draw the picture of western misery, and again and agein as often as I have tried I have broken down, and I have wept like a woman, could picture in words, I conld not utter the words, for I cannot look on human sorrow with the cold and wathetlc eye of an artist, My heart fails me as T now attempt to picture the scenes of my visit inCon- nemara and Mayo. A barren country, a toiling, industrious, moral people, whose very life blood is being sapped by the exactions of resident agents of sbsenteo lsndlordy; poverty more squalid than any I have ever before soen, and heartlessness ‘more crael thau history records; this is the state of affeirs which I found in western Treland on the oeession of my eecond visit. Bir Redpath then went intos detailed examination of th charges against the Irish character. So far from being lazy be found all willing to work for sixpence a day, if work could be found. _ The men, and even the women and children toiled in the est. But at every Folnt they wero antry to psy rent ouly on a basis of Griffith’s res.lution and en the landlords refused to receive it the tenants buttoned > thefr pockets and told them to do their beet to gat it. Boycottine has made prosess serving unprofitable. Bogeotiing hss mado it impossible for the farm an ovicted temant to be relat. Boscottig has placed the ban of excommunication upon every servile tool of & corrapt and tyr- annicsl government. Bat above and beyond this, that noble bsnd of pa- triots who compose the land league has awakened in Irish bosors a epirit of patriotism. It has united ali creeds and clasaes against tho system of land tenure which has crushed the life ot the Irish peasantry. It has glven to Treland law and order, and _courts to which her paoplo may appeal Like the doctor who had but cne remedy, and that was for fits, snd who wauted to throw a child iuto conyul- sions in_order to apply his physic, England wants to throw Irelacd into open revolation, and_then apply her oaly remedy of armed force. Ircland won't take tho payeic, and the land league has been the great instrament ia pursuading her to agitate, for the preseat, only within the law, THE FUTURE. DMr. Redpath caid that he asked a poasant whether Ireland’s demands would cease with the obtaiuing of and he an- peasant proprietership, swered, “‘devil a cesse, aat pr sought, result gained. rols. Ireland will aever be satisfied until her own lezislature meets in the halls of Dablin. To-day young Irgland is stronger than ever. Education Is being diffased throug out the land. The schools are as gox as those in the United Statcs, acd young Ireland is a reading and think- ing class.
