"Wers We on terms of personal friendship |
with Mr.. Parnell we should seriously, sol |
emnly and strongly advise him to 10 home. |
His mission to America las been an utter |
failure, nor is there any prospect that the |
future is going to do more than the past.
There may be degree of sympathy In the |
union for Irelands suffenngs and enthu-
siasm may surround that country's repre-
sentatives In their movements, but there is |
manifestly reluctance to hand over
money in ho6-nob manner to irrespon-
sible individuals The American people \
would not impugn Parnell's integrity and
sincerity, but they are indisposed to con-
tribute money which may be employed In
manner that would appear to them silly
and that would not meet with thsir ap-
proyal. The expression of opinion from
Rome too must 20 far. in the way Of max.
ing the mission Of Messrs ,Parnell and Dill. \
lon to America abortive. Notwitbstand-
Ing all this everything that can be done
