Want Help From Americans

Hon. John Fitzgerald of Lincoln. Xeb., received the following eablegram from Parncll: House of Commoxs, f London, Maren 28, 1887. ) To Hon. John Fitzgerald, Ltncoln, Neb:: The coerción bilí proposed to-night in the house of eoinmons is the 87th since the act of Union, 87 years ago. It is also the most stringent, tyrannieal and uncalled for by the stato of afTairs in Iicland. Never bofore lias b coerción blll been proposed when crime was so rapidly decreasing as compared with pievious years. The measure i.s almed agalnst all open agitatioii. and appears to bc expressly designed for drlvtng dlscontent béneatb the surface. It places all public speakers, writcrs miel conductora of newspapers absolntely at the mercy of stipendiary maglstrates, holding their office at the pleasure of the Crown. It coudemns the Lrlsh-speaklng peasant of rack-rented Kerry t') the tender mercics of a packed jury of Orangemen or landlorda, or to a jury of iCnglislimen at the Old Bailey in London. The Libera! party, headed by Gladstone, stands as mu' man agalnst thls inlnuitous measare, and wil) flght shoulder toshoulder with is, in opposing it to the last. It sesma Imposelble to bellere that even the present Hoaae of Commons will continue to follow the Tory Oovernment In their mud coiirsc. and good judgps consider the measnre will break and ruin the Cablnet. Vc must. however, prepare for the worst; and I eonfldently appeal to the American peopte for Ihat sympathy and support whlch tlicy have never wlthheld from a people struggling for liberty. (Signed) PARNELL. The following reply was sent to Mr. Parnell: LdKOOLN, March 29. To the Hon. Chas. S. Parnell, M. P., House of Commons, London: ('able recelved. League will redouble its efforts. Ireland's sure of American sympathy and support in coming contest. Nebraska legislature to-day by uuanimous vote passed resolutions of sympathy with [reland and condemnlng tory policy of coerción. Tliis and similar manifestatiiins throughout this free country glve the lie to the slanders of the English press that true Americans do not sympathi.e with Ireland. This great liberty loving people of the United States are entirely in sympathy with Ireland's struggles for homo rule.
