In fact, Mr. Parnell declared at Chicago that this was his ultimate object. Mr. Furber closed his case by denouncing the incapacity of the Irish Parliament of 1782, and the violence of the Land League...
...that we can feel sure of having light in the library. we may express our great surprise that it took the college authorities so long to make up their minds to such an important step. All those who aided in this good work and especially those who contributed the great sine qua non deserve the warrant thanks of every man who has the welfare of the University at heart...
