GLADSTONE ON THE PARNELL ARREST.
LONDON, Oct. Is
Mr.. Gladstone visited the Guildhall to.
day and received, in q gold box, the ad-
dress voted by the Corporation Of London
recording their high sense of his great SER
vices to his country and asking him to sit
for marble bust to be placed in Guildhall
The compliment, it is understood, was not
dictated by partisan considerations. In an
nouncing the arrest Of Parnell, he said:
II have been informed that the first step
has been taken toward the vindication of
law and order, the rights, property and the
first elements of civilization, by the arrest of
man who, entirely from motives which I
do not challenge or examine, has made him.

authority of the law. We are not at issue
with the people of Ireland. firmly believe
that majority of the tenants
earnestly desire fair trial of
the Land act. The power with
which we are struggling is that which en-
deavors to say how far the people shall obey
the law. We have no fear of the people
of ireland, but do fear lest many more
should become demoralized orintimidated."
He also said he would rejoice at the adop-

Ireland, provided it did not impair the SUI.

THE AMERICAN SYMPATHIZERS.
NEW YORK, Oct. Is.
Patrick Ford has issued an address to the
Land Leagues Of America, anent the arrest
of Parnell, in which he says: "Irishmen
must restrain their impulses. Reason, not
passion, should rule the hour. Never did
the Land League have better opportunity
to manifest its moral power than now, new
er did it become the duty Of the Irish peo-
pie to exhibit the virtues of self-posses-
sion, discipline and obedience to the
Land League more than now. Through
enlightenment and organization the
people will assuredly come into possession
Of their inheritance. Much has been &C.
complished locking to this end. Already
Gladstone himself has openly confessed that
the Land League is the only government in
Ireland now with any moral force behind 1t.
Hence he makes war upon it. He presents
arms to the majesty Of ideas which are in
vulnerable and immortal. No man who be-
lieves in the superiority Of mind over brute
matter can entertain doubt respecting the
final ISSUE"

COMMENTS ON THE ARREST.
The Secretary Of the Land League was In.
terviewed shortly after Parnell's arrest. He
expressed much establishment, exclaiming,
excitedly: "Let them come on; we are
ready for them"
Dillon said this was the most trying and
critical moment that had occurred in their
history during the past century. He said
that the statement that ParneA had intim-
idated the people was false. He Dillon de-
fed anybody to point to . single speech Of
Parnell in favor of intimidation. His arrest
was due to private malice. TWAS the duty
of the nation to deal with the matter coolly
and with judgment, and to maintain. the
struggle within the law.
