DayItt Replies to FOrster's Attack on the
Land League.
LONDON, june 5tb.-Davitt has written
long reply, which appears to-day, to a pam
| phlet entitled 1.-THE Truth About the Land
| League" published anonymously some weeks
ago and extensively circulated throughout
the United Kingdom, and now reissued under
| his own name, by Arthur Arnold Forster,
son of the ex-Chief Secretary for Ireland.
The purpose CT the pamphlet is to show that
the Land League and those connected with 1t
had in view the commission Of outrsges,
mutilatiop, plumber and murder. The evil
dence is supplied by extracts from speeches
and newspaper articles.
Davitt's reply is that the evidence has been
| garb.ed. Passages have been persistently re.
moved from the context, and mitigating parts
have been suppressed. The object Of the
pamphlet, he says is to grouse prejudice
and enkindle hate for which opportunity has
been afforded by the Dublin assassinations--
a purpose which he designates as wicked
and hateful at time when the efforts
of good men on both sides ara being
directed to alisy passion. Davitt cuttingly
remarks that he regrets that the author had
not been brought up under better influence
than that of presenting lie which ID halt
truth. He maintains that anything may be
proved in the same fashion against the re-
formers who have given England untaxed
bread and an extension of the franchise. Had
not Forster, Sr.. he asks, done mischief
enough, without Forster, Jr., coming forward
now? 1t was Forsters of centuries ago, he
maintained, who stung Iri,hmen to madness
and helped to make the people of the two
countries hate each other. SO that the &C.
cursed system might be easier to rule and
ruin. To the charge made in the
pamphlet that in 1870 Davitt was commit
ted as a feloE, having been engaged in .
plot to murder, Davits replied that what he
did in 1870 is no proof Of what he did in
1880, and inquiries why the pamphlet, which
pretends to tell the truth about the Land
League, does not tell the whole truth about
his share therein. 81 drew up the charter Of
the LardLeague," says Davitt, "and l drew
up the Instructions to organizers. From that
time uatil the orders of Forster reconsigned
me to a convict prison, 1 made a hundred
speeches. Why does not Forster make quo
tations from any of these, if he would find
me guilty of melting to outrage and murder
The answer is that he cannot. l defy him to
name an instance wherein l did otherwise
than decry force and protest against
outrage. If he cannot see this
he has no right to go back ten
years" Davitt goes fully into the evi.
dence against him in 1870. and says it would
not have hung dog at another time, and
that Forster's suppression of the facts in con-
nection Herewith is more cruel and cowardly
than the act of miserable Mocnlighter in
Ireland. The other statements quoted
against the L,nd League, he asserts, are
made by men who had more right to rep
resent the League than Forster has to repre-
sent the Society of Friends. Ia the extracts
quoted from the Irish World he accused
Forster of bringing false witnesses for the
purpose of making political capital out of
national hate. He concludes with high
compliment to Herbert Gladstone, and con.
graduates the Premier on having got rid Of
