veral other charitably disposed ladies and

utlemen, entertained about 250 boys and

to a dinner in the Market Hall, Mon

sy afternoon. The tables were weil

ed with pudding, cake and other Christ-

; delicacies, and it is needless to say the

tle ones did sample the good is provided; many of them filling up ir pockets with apples, cake, etc., when wing. After dinner Rev. Mr. Whitman id a few words ia praise of the Institu- ) and the good ladies and gentlemen who had prepared the dinner. St. Peter's Boys Band enlivened the proceedings with some excellent music. Mrs. McKinlay, Miss Earle and the other ladies are deserv- ing of the greatest commendation. itiaainagl Asroap —‘‘If Mr Stephen O'Meara had received the nomination of the United Citizens’ and Republican parties, Boston would hive seen a campaign lively enough to everybody. He has twice been unanimously elected (and is now) the president of the Press Club ; and his associates in journalism are all proud of his ability and his progress in his profession. Mr. O'Meara might have enjoyed political honors long ago Lut for his modesty, and may yet be Mayor of Boston.” — Boaton Saturday Eve niny Gazette. ‘« \ll that is said here ia true. But we shall be sorry to see an ablé*and honorable man like him allow himself to be used as an axe ;to uttack honest men whom his enemies have failed to undermine by knownothing sappers. When his party were using the miserable little British Association cry this year, ‘Down with the Irish,’ it would be an incongruity to see a man named Stephen O'Meara on that The Republicans of Massachusetts have a lot of fair play and good manners to earn, and Stephen O'Meara, who is w ithin their ranks, is the right sort of a man for their leaders and managers to advise with before beginning an anti-Irish or anti-Catholic campaigas Pdot,

Reduction of Rents!

~—— ——_

Dusty, Dec. 27.

The Gazette publishes an order, signed by Commissioners Hyton and Wrench, pre- scribing a reduction of judicial rents throughout practically the whole of Ireland, ranging from § to 22 per cent., the average being 14 per cent. The aggregate reduc- tion is estimated at £2,000,000. The re- duction is permanent, and applies to arrears since 1881,

Mr. Gladstone's Progress. Lonpon, Dee. 27.

Gladstone arrived at Dove? this a. m., on his way to the Continent. A small crowd was waiting to receive him at the Station. He was hooted at by some, and roughs out- side made snowballs and threw them. Gladstone was not, however,‘hit by any of

the missiles. He proceaded to the Town Hall, where a deputation was waiting to welcome him, ; and where

with an «address by the Kentish Liberals. Gladstone, replying to an address presented to him at Dover by Liberal delegates, referred te the uncertain character of Salisbury’s declarations. In reference to fair trade, he said that the indicated free trade is insecure. He relied | upon the masses of the people to oppose a

return to protection. The coming session did not promise weil for the country. The local government

bill will not be introduced until April and the Government would inflict undisguised moekery on thé country. The last was a dark session ; but this will be darker un- less something is done to alleviate the situation in Ireland. The darkest blot upon parliament was the act now in operation effecting the civic rights of the Irish Liberals charged with interfering with the administration of law were really trying to retard the Government’s — per- version of the law. Not long could any Government face the unanimous opinions of the people for with the single exception of

the Belfast council. All the elective authorities sided with Home Rule. The Liberals’ term of minority in Parliament woul l cease at tl e first election. Their appeal lay with the ntry. The party had never inscribed on its banner the name of a cause without carrying it through. Having taken up the cause of Ireland the

cause would assuredly triumph. (Cheers, )
