LEAGUELEADERS SCORED
A SCATHING REBUKE FROM THE
PRIMATE.
Archbishop MeCabe's Lenten PnStO-
ral-Irish Women Warned Against
Joining in the eAgItation-The New
Rules ON "UFEency's of supply
The CoVentrV Election.

DUBLIN, March 13.-The following is the
reference to the Land League in Archbishop
McCabe's Lenten pastoral:
"Let nobody accuse us Of want Of sympa-
thy with the great question of justice which
now appeals to Parliament for settlement.
The cause is just and holy, an
carries with 1t the blessings OF re
lgion. Amongst the. terrible mistake
made formerly bv the rulers of this
unhappy land there is none, perhaps, which
will exceed in folly that which will be now
committed IL the vital question Of the tenure
of land holdings is not settled now and for
ever on Just principles to a1. So convinced
are we that full and honest settlement of
this angry controversy is essential to the
temporal happiness and the moral and rell-
gious interests of our countFymen, that Il the
sacrifice of cur blood could lead to the con-
summation of this grand act OF justice we
would make that sacrifice. Whilst we bless
the end now aimed 1T we must again pro-
claim that some of the means employed in
the struggle cannot receive the sanction of
religion. The modesty Of her daughters
was the ancient glory OF Ireland, but all
this is now to be abandoned, and our daugh-
ters are summoned under the flimsv pretext
of charity to take their stand in the noisy
arena OF public life. The pretext OF charity
Is merely assumed, for already we have holy
associations of men and women who do
works Of mercy for the poor and afflicted,
and even the harsh laws now coming in
force have mereifully provided for the fami-
lies OF those falling under their power.
Irish women are asked to forget the
modestY of their sex by leaders who seem
utterly reckless of consequences, and who
| by their recklessness have brought misery
on many families.
Reverend Fathers, set your faces against
this dlshonoring attempt Do not tolerate
vows her modestY as to parade herself pub
licly in character so unworthy of child
Of Mary
"This attempt at degrading the Irish
women comes very appropriately from men
who have drawn their country
into its present terrible and
| deplorable condition. Deprived OF
the safeguards of the constitution, the peo-
pie may become the prey of perjured in
formers. The men who have sent agents
to fawn on notorious infidels and reVolu-
tionists, and who, to escape the odium of
their act, abuse the Christian politeness of
a most venerable prelate aud an illustrious
soldier of France Cardinal Guibert, Arch
bishop of Paris, and Marshal Mac
hahcn), these men and their agents, to
forward their views, were not ashamed to
calumniate the diocese whose prelates were
formerly the glory of the Irish church, and
who were not afraid to warn their people
when misled by false friends and danger
Gus advisers. These are the sources whence
come the great dangers to our faith.
"Let US pray to the Almighty that He may
scatter the enemies of His holy cause, that
His wisdom may direct the couHsels of our
rulers, and that He may bind together for
ever priests and people,"
LONDON, March 12.-The Speakers new
