distribution of it among the tenants. Reconcile
ment of the interests of the toier in the field and the
dweller i'll the castle u.s." says MIR. Parnell at
Dromore perfectly impossible"
Next day at Strabane Mr. Parneu reiterated and
enlarged his declarations but in respect modified
them. He owned that he meant to use the Land
Act to put the people in better position to get all
the Act does not give then-in other words full
property in the land itself. He again defined the
Land League platform to be the transfer of the
land from the landlords" who stole it originally to
the people from whom they stole it," AT small
a price rs possible" adds Mr.. Parnel with sudden
retiuX OF his old caution. But his real idea starts
out from the next sentence. If we could get it for
nothing at all, say the price the farmers have
been paying for it for generations, for hunde of
wears, would be ample COMPENSATORY Repeating
that the League is not for fixing rent Mr. Parnell
adds Neither is it in favor of permanently fixing
the landlords the land. We want to get rid of
them, and therefore say that this old tenant-rght
party is an etete institution
On the question OF English rule III Ireland Mr..
Parnell is equally plainspoken. He said at Castle
Gegg thus:
"Now, fellow-countrymen, the issue before you is
plain. Are you ia favor of Ireland for the Irish
you in favor OF Ireland for England t"Never. y
Are You in favor of freedom to make laws for Ire
land ON Irish soil. you in favor of the contnu
anCe OF Engand's right to msrulc and crush this
country 7! tCues of NO. No.1
That is Mr.. Parneps answer to the Governments
"meSsage of peace" SO far he is concerned, he
rejects it with contempt and vitupcration. For
him the Government which passed the Land Act
does not exist. The only Government he knows is
the brutal imprisoninC, coercive Government"
the Wing Government" of " Buckshot Forster
and " Slanderer Harcourt" The question returns
Can Mr.. Parnell carry TIE Irish people with him,
plant them on his platform, and rccstabsh tho
authority of the League by programme of robbery
and Ievolution2 Mr.. Dillon thinks not Mr. Par
nell perhaps has his doubts but he means to try
! y few months will show which Of the two knows
| his cOuntrynen best. Meanw lille it will be inter
esting to see what the Government is going to do,
! II the Land League was formidable enough TO be
! rePrcsscd by Coercion Act when its avowed
objects not illegal-when il pretended, that is,
! to keep within the law-what will it he now ?
| Which OF the 200 men whom Mr.. Forster i'm
prisoncd, and rightly Imprisoned. has said AM thing
more hostile to order and Law, more provocative Of
! disturbance and sedilon, than what Nh. Parncll
| has sad and is daily saving in Tyrone But Mr.,
| Forster Is IN Switzerland, taking weIcarncd
| holiday on the slopes of the Matterhorn and the
| Dent Blanche. His absence means, presume, that
! the Government proposes to wait. They mean to
| give MI. Palnell full swing. They mean to take
| time enough to whether the Land Act or The
Land Le1gue Is the stronger. If the people with
| draw from the League If the Authority of Law is
restored If the new agitation prove a failure, it
| may be wise to take 40 notice Of Mr. Parnel. Wild
words count for less in Ireland than elsewhere,
unless they happen to be followed by deeds. The
! Government waited long before resolving to bring
| III Coercion hill. The country only half absolvcd
| them for delay which mperIlled order and made
both life and property insecure. They will not br
ahSoived at all if they pater with the far more
! serious agitation now Threatened; provided always
| Dir. Parnell should be able to make it serious,
