JOHN MITCHELL.
The ola Patriot on His Way 40 Beard
shc Lion Ia His Den-His Views
of IrelaRd's Hopes.

New YORK, July 4.-John Mitchell,
the exile, who sails to-day for Ireland to
engage in the politics of that country,
Gays that no good can come to Ireland
from the British parliament, and that
Ireland can never be prosperous or happy
till she has complete control of her own
destinies, and her connection with Eng
land entirely severed. With regard to
the present hOme-rule government, he
thinks it does not represent the hopes
aud aspirations of the people; that it Is
a sickly and nerveless effort to patch Up
the national quarrel in an incomplete
and unsatisfactory manner. He con-
siders the whole movement mere milk
and water kind Of national effort. He
will not place himself in antagonism
with the home rule movement, but he
intends to demonstrate to England and
to the world that there is something
stronger and more determined in Ire
land than the hOme-Tule. He has a
firm conviction that England will never
grant self-government TO Ireland till
forced to do so, and that all her delusive
concessions to Ireland have been wruug
nom her by force or fear of it. He him
self will seek the suffrages of the peO-
pie en- the broad principle OF Ireland's
right to complete independence. He
has a belief that the British govern
ment Will not arrest him; but should
they do so, he is prepared to take the
consequences.
