although quite- well along In years I"ot
much nioiethan tlnce feet high and is badly

Instance did not oppose the fatal objecl ion
when the bo.v applied foi a place. Mr. llolman
placed him in fionl of Ihe appropriation com
mittee room door and kept him theio in "pile
of the protests of thosu who did not like to

and seemed a gieat deal of keen enjoyment

The Sun's London cable says : A move

involves piobably thu mod astounding
scheme of political revenge and piesiimptlon
In thu history ol this geneiation. The move
ment giew out ol'a meeting at the National
Liberal club of those liberal memlx-is-elect
vvlioitiiiiajniltles had been i educed by the
astliiR of the Iiish vote tor the toiics and
ot thoau liberal candidates who ha d been do
fiialed by Ihe same tactics. It was a very
soiehcad assemblage , and gieat bilteiiie.ss
against the Iiish was displaced In all the
speeches. Many speakers sai < l that their own
Iiish workmen , on the laimsand estates and
In mines anil 1'aetoiies , whom they
had provided with sustenance In
tionbUms times , agitated and voted
against Iheir masteia and biead
piovlders at the bidding ofstrangeis. The
result ot the meeting was the adoption bv
unanimous vote of a resolution pledging each
gentleman not to emplo.v Iristi labor in the
Inline , and to giadually but as speedily as
posslhtodlscbargp all IiNi woi'cmen ' now
employed by them. 'Ihc speakeis as uicd
Iho meeting that the whole machlneiy of the
iJirmlnzham caucus would he cmpfojcd to
make Iho so-called boycotting ell eel Ive.
They Raid that the Iliitish liberal wuiknien
who had always been friendly towaid their
colleagues wire now embitleied against
them. Tho-o workmen could thetulore bj
idled on toco opeiatu with their employeis
Mgainst the Iiish , and would oven carrv the
