quired the greatest care and attention OF
the different heads Of the departments Of
the central executive. These gentlemen
being now imprisoned it is impossible to
supply at short notice successors TO them
who are capable and experienced enough to
manage the difficult and complicated task
Of testing the Land Act. The Executive
therefore felt obliged to abandon that por-
ton of the resolutions Of the convention
which directed them to make the test, and
instead OF a more moderate policy the
Executive were constrained to accept Of the
recommended and holder course Of a gem
eral strike againstpaying rent"
Correspondent-You are accused Of hav-
ing melted the people to acts OF intimidas
ton. Do you object to answering this
charge?
Mr.. Parnell-The charge is false. / was
always careful to avoid anything which
would be construed into acts of intimida-
| ton or violence. 1t is somewhat remark
able that. according to the warrants, these
officers charged against me what must have
been committed in Dublin, and must have
been contained in speeches delivered by
me at the weekly meetings of the League.
These speeches were by far the
most moderate OF any l have delivered
AAAO Zig COUlHuCnOCblOAt Va bhC hlONO-
ment. The principle on which the Gov
eminent is proceeding seems to be this
that any advice or recommendation given
by me, or other members of the move
ment, to tenant farmers or laborers, is in
timidation. In other words, the way in
which they are now putting the Coercion
Act in force, is the most absolute abroga-
ton of the right Of freedom Of speech,
discussion and meetings, which ever OBJ
tanned in the country. In taking this
course the Government has practically
rendered it impossible for the farmers
either to test, or with safety use, the Land
Act. l have always been one of those who
believed it possible to use the act in such o
way as to secure substantial benefits for the
agricultural classes of Ireland. / opposed
them more extreme Of the League party. who
desired to reject the Act entirely at the re-
cent convention. But it was firmly con.
WINGED that the Act could only be uset
safely in an organized and systemati,
fashion, and that if the farmers were lef
without organization or assistance in ad
vance, the result would be as in the cas-,
Of the Act Of 1S70-a disappointment.
