HOW @rARSELL's SPEECH Is REGARDED.
Special Cubic
LoNDoS, June 4-Parne1l's speech yes
terday is generally regarded rs q challenge
which the Government cannot afford to over
look. Nobody expects the Government to
proceed against Parnell personally, he TAX
ing care to avail himself Of Parliamentary
privilege But the Ministers consider the
signs both in Ireland and England
OF an approaching crisis to be far gra'er
than yet known. ParnelI's remark about
general strike against rent, which he de-
clared he had not advised, discloseS the poll
cy earnestly. advocated By many influer-
1ial Leaguers. ParnelI's friends say he
would readily adopt it, but fears to provoke
a decisive conflict, for wllich the Home
Rulers are not-ready. Parnell adheres
steadily to one idea: that the present land
agitation must be made subsidiary to the pro-
motion Of
THE POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE OF IRE
LAND.
He neither strongly desires nor deprecates
what he yesterday threatened. the entire
loss of the landlords property. The real
Eey to Parne1l's speech was the phrase de-
clarlug that the Irish are saturated
with disafeetion; and justly so,
and threatening IN appeal to physical force.
The Ministers and everybody else agree
that this language seriously aggrayates the
existing troubles, increases the probability
uf a.colision on still greater scale, and I'LL
1prl!s the life of every unpopular landlord.
II is understood that Parnell hopes not
IL bring on 4 general rising, but to
iucdte resistance in each case OF process-serv-
ing on such scale Us to prevent the elective
USE Of the police aud military excepting III
great numbers, so as to paTalyze eyictions.
Whatever Parnells particular purpose may
be. English feeling is rapidly rising and de-
,nands that the Government shall show more
decision and energy than lately.
, THE GOVERNMENT is VERY RETICEST
about affairs in Ireland, and nothing trust
worthy is to be gathered from the Irish press
on the subject The Home-Rule papers con-
ctn and the anti-Home-Ru1e papers exagger.
ate The local correspondent OF the Centrtdf
Press refrain from motives Of prudence from1
giving the details Of the collisions occurring
almost daily III the disturbed districts
throughout Munster. Several correspondents
in the smaller towns and villages have been
boycotte,l, and one was roughly handled by
mob at kilulallock. But il the evidence of
persons who are lit position to obtain fair
" accurate information goes for anything,
tile countryis
on THE BRINK OF CIVIL WAR.
You will recolcct that, when the Land bill
was first submitted, the tenants demanded
that changing gates should be forfeited BY
the }andlords,-1n other words, that clause
should be inserted in the bill prohibiting land
lords from eyicting the unpaid rents Of the
past eighteen months. Mr.. Gladstone IS
prepared 10 70 Il long way in satisfying the
Irish tenant, but a clause Of tllis kind would
have been conliscation pure and simple, and
lie refused to insert it. Then, again,
the agricultural laborcrs were dis satisfied
BECAUSE the bill made no provision for
them, and, to make the matter worse, many
farmers, fearing that the bill will be amended
in Committee 50 us to compel them to pro-
vide in some way for the 1aborers on their
farms, at once began to erict the la0orers
from their bog-paths, while the landlords set
to work to eyict the non-paylng tenants. The
situation at once
BECAME VERY SERIOUS.
Even if the League leaders had honestly
tried to hold the people back. don't think
they could have succeeded. As it was they
added fuel to the flame by urging the tenant
to resist the landlord, and the peasant to resist
the tenunt The disturbances are OF de-
cidedly mixed character. At New Pallas, :
for instance, the tenantry on Col. Harc's eS
tate are resisting the DEGREES Of eviction is
sued at the instance of his agent, Mr.. San
ders, whilst at Clonmel the peasantry are
s*boycoting" tenants, who lately stood high
in the League for ejecting laborers.
