Mr. Parnells latest manifesto recommendin
an alliance with the English Ra1icals show
= that, at last he recognizes the righ
and only practical policy for Irish men
bers to adopt. Unfortunately h
has hitherto spurned all overtures
and the Radicals have no longer the power
or indeed the inclination, to join forces witt
him. The obstructive tactics have discred
tied Mr.. Parnelrs leadership. and immensel,
injured the Irish cause throughout the na
tion.
HIS INTERVIEW AT PARIS
with Henri Rochefort has also, as was to bt
expected, given bitter offense to the Catholic
party, and lis countrymen begin to feel that
all is lost unless they can fiud q leader Of
better judgment.

DUBLIN, Feb. 19.-AIr. Shaw's manifesto
has fallen upon Ireland like 4 tliunderbolt
from q clear sky. The leader Of the moder-
ate section OF the Irish representatives
has chosen his time we'll. The feeling Of
disappointment created by the mysterious
] movements of the leaders of the Land League,
and the still deeper feeling Of despair at
the prospect of a speedy passing Of the CO.
! ercIon bill, had thrown the country into
! state Of despondency which even tie fieroest
revival OF the agitation could not have
! shaken off. At this moment,
and not when the country was indignant at
| the arrest Of Michael Davitt and the occur
rences Of Is that memorable Thursday even
| ing - in the House Of Commons, lfr. Shaw
! las filed the graycst Indictment against Mr..
Parnell and his followers. Practically
HIS CHARGES
are two in number. The first is that the
Irish Parliamentary party, by their action,
have forced the Government to bring In the
worst Coercion bill ever introduced; second,
they have endangered the prospects Of a
good Land bill. These charges may not
be new, and, as matter Of fact, they are alb
surd, since, without this movement, there
would have beed no promise OF remedial
legislation. but they have produced an ef-
feet
BEYOND THAT WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED |
TO PRODUCE.
Mr. Shaw wic1ds Il commanding influence |
among commercial classes. Lis political /
program has always been a desire to develop /
the resources Of the people and to amend !
the Lanl laws. He has betaken himself to |
the task. of judging Mr.. Parnell, and
ical moment in painful crisis. lie
has placed his views before the
country, and what has been the result ? In
Dublin, which has played politically cow.
ardly part throughout the whole agitation,
the manifesto is hailed with delight even
among the Conservatives. There is, indeed
a danger that Mr, Sliaw's reputation may lead
even thoughtful men to conclusions not alto
gether: justified BY the facts.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-The Paris correspondent
Of the Standard reports conversation with .
James Stephens, the Fenian leader. lie said
hut there is not the slightest foundation
:or the report that he had come to Paris to
oin Mr. Parnell. He had never !
seen Mr. ParnelI, and had never
ought or been asked to see him,
Moreover he did not agree with the J
policy Of the Home-Rulers He con !
ldereu their robstructIonist maneuvres in the
iouse OF Commons as unworthy of an Irish /
'arty, ,-undignitied, impoitic, and calcuIat-
d to'alienate rather than to attract the SYM
athles or the people. He thought that, having | ::
onsentedto become members of the House,
was thelf duty to conform to the ordinary r

[tion which could do no practical good to the
rlst cause, nor prevent the ultimate action :.
