pennv evening paper, also nominally Liberal
which goes a step further and praises Mt Diilons
speech Ii represents the raw and raging rauicai-
ism of the least intelligent and least thoughtluI ana
least scrupulous section Of the community.
I'm MIR. Gladstone's choice of an adjective therc
was perhaps nothing more than rhelolcal io-
.erve HIS speech As a whole left little to desire.
He put the INDUSTRIOUS teachings OF MI. III,
Ions speech in their true light. What he salu OF
its influence in one direction may be SAID Oh his
own: it tended to clear the Issue between inc
Government and all law-abidng men Oh the one
hand and Mr.. Dillon and his friends on the other.
Though whether among Mr.. Dilon's friends are TO
he reckoned the papers above mentioned is perhaps
a point Mr. Gladsl one had not anticipated. one OF
them makes it a matter of critical remark that Mr.
Gladstone should have perceived instantly how
much fresh support would be secured for the Coer-
cion bill by Mr. DlOn's declaration IN favor OF the
outrage which that bill is meant to put down.
And for once, tho most eager opponents OF MI
Gladstone in the press and in the House are con-
strained to admit that his denuncation OF these IN
famous doctrines Is explicit
That afternoon and next morning 1t was consld-
cred that Mr. Dillon had gwen the decisive blow TO
whatever might be lett Of the alliance between DIT
ParneIl and the Gov ,rnment. But MIR. Parnell has
aimee spoken He too was In a difficult position
He had lust his authority disputed ana MS
counsels disregarded in the House itself by those
who once followed his lead with implicit obedience
II WAS and Is very doubtful how much hold he re-
tans on Ireland, on the Irish peasants and tenant
farmers over whom his influence has for two years
past been supreme. Such speech as Mr.. Diilons
appeared TO call upon MIR. Parnell for an immediate
decision whether he would resign the leadership
OF the rreconcilable Irish party or renounce his
newly adopted policy of compromise with the Gov
eminent.
But with characteristic adroness Mr.. Parnell
has y AIDED the dilemma in which he was thought 10
be nclosed. He has explained away, or sOttencd
or even dsavowed in part some of the more violent
passages of Mr.. Dillon. He hopes Mr. Dulon ana
not mean what he was thought to mean. MIR
Parnel ayowed that Boycottlng had been carried
too far He was prepared TO recommend that II the
arrears trouble were once removed future agitation
should be conducted within the law. lie did not
want auy other right of combination for the Irish
tenant than the English artisan had. But he was
entirely opposed to the bill which would prevent
him from asserting and practising those other
forms Of combination" These declarations are
not reconcilabe with each other They are still
less reconciable with notorious passages IN lofher
speeches of Mr. Parnell. But they serve lheir
purpose for the moment. They keep the Govern
ment still in state of hOpefulness OF support from
MIR. Parnell. They keep The Irish faction sui III
some sort of submission to him.
1t was said in the House that the sui sequent out
hurst of Mr. Redmond was prearranged with MI
Parnen. To all appearance it was protest. almost
a defiance. Mr.. Redmond said In 50 many words
what Mr.. PaInell has himself SAID long ago In SUD
stance that whatever might be done about the
land, the lrlSh people VIII oe cohVeht WIN uo'i's
less than legislative Independence. This KIND oil
see.saw between Mr. Parnell and his supporters has
heen practised before now. Ii serves purpose.
But it does not TO obscure the TACT that they
are all agreed in Opposing the Prevention OF Crime
bill MIR. Gladstone has seen his way to All adjourn
uent of the House for the Whtsuntide holidays
aud is supposed to cherish hope that when the
House resumes some Of the threatened opposition
10 the bill in Committee will collapse But the
number of amendments already down is great, and
more are certain to be proposed. Liberal d'scon-
cent below the gangway, silcnced for the moment
by Mr. Dillons audacity. is again audible. Radi-
