The Agitatien in Ireland.


festation of feeling.
New York, December 7th.-A HeraI9's
Dublin special has this report of Parnell's
speech at Waterford on Sunday He did not
believe her resources were adequate to per-
petuate her Government In Ireland. ~ do
not believe" he econtinued, THAT any amount
of money or the strength and power Of even
the greatest in the world can work impossi-
biiities, and it is abundanty proved that
governing outside of Ireland by power and
people who do not live in the country is i'm
possible. We have gigantic forces allied
against us, but we have more powerful forces
on side, namely, the forces of nature, of
nationality, of patriotism and true devotion.
These are sufficient to break the yoke of
English n.isgovernment and chase from the
country that usurpation which has long had
its heel upon our neck. Look at what we
have done to this pitiful Government in
twelve months. We have obliged them to
reverse every principle, every law, every ira
dit;on on which they have built their posi-
ton. We have made them eat their speeches
even Gladstone. | don't believe Gladstone
can settle the Irish question without
breaking up his Cabinet. He could not
even pass his miserable Compensation bill
last year. Ii | had not been confident that
the Lords would reject it, | would have had
the Irish party reject it, but l preferred to
!
Bull finds that he will have to pay $50, G00,-
000 for the next four or FIVE years to govern
this country, he will think the English mode
of governing Ireland very expensive. | may
be told that concession would be better, but
when concession perpetuates an evil it is bet
ter to reject it. Go not believe we can set
tie the national question till we settle the
land question. | tell the British Government
that all their acts and statutes are so much
hot; 10 ~ 4bac
days to continue governing this country
against the will of the majority of the people.
No nation in history was ever able to do this
and of all nations that ever tried it, England
has made the worst mess of it. We stand to-
day in the same position that our ancestors
stood. We declare that it is the duty of every
Irishman to free his country if he can. We
refuse to inhict needless suffering on the
masses We will work by constitutional
means so long as it suits us to do so. We
refuse to plunge this country into the
horrors of civil war, when she has not
chance but l ask any man at this
board, ask any true lrishman-be he priest
or layman-whether he would not consider it
the fist duty OF an Irishman to do what he
could to enable his country TO take its place
among the nations of the world? Deafening
cheers If it could be proved to you thai
| there is fair prospect that success would
follow from the sacrifice, ask you whether
it would not be your highest duty to give
your lives for your country that gave you
! birth | call for no useless sacrifice. l do
not wish to be misunderstood. Our present
path is within the limits Of the Constitution.
| England has given US that Constitution for
her purposes. We viii use it for ours. If
ever call upon the people to go beyond the
! Constitution, we shall do so openly and
above board. We shall not ask the people
to take a risk we are not willing to share.
! But, for the present we viii remain with the
| Constitution, relying on parliamentary ac-
| ton in England, and upon organized ma
| Lional action at home. / believe we have in
| these the power to achieve our ends. We
call upon you, if you believe in their use, and
! believe in our honesty, to help US with the
ability and the genius God has given you,
confident in the future of our common coun-
t:y. Great cheers.
