TRELAND's INDEPENDENt


 Mir. Jennings, the London correspondent | of the New York World, has shown in his ! letters a clear understanding of the Irish l question, and has prophesied skillfully. Therefore, what he has to say about the out look now is worth attention. He declares that the inevitable end must be the separa- l tion of Ireland from England. It is too late for repression. And as for MT. Parnell or anyone else, making terms" with the gov | ernment it will not stop the progress of the revolution. The crime of May 6 means, in Mir. Jennings opinion, that though leader
 here or leader there may "sell out" the l cause itself will not be destroyed-the or ganization, which is stronger than any of it's leaders, will continue to do it's work.
 The Ministerial party complain that the crime of the 9th of May was peculiarly base; that it was a very bad return for the 'olive branch' which Mir. Gladstone was holding out. But, says MT. Jennings, what none of them seem to understand is that Ire land is not asking and never has asked for the olive branch |; that she does not care straw about it. GA frightened government may fancy that all it has to do is to talk about olive branches and love for Ireland but the Irish people, or at any rate the Irish agita tors, do not care pins fee for all this senti- mental and unmeaning fummery. What they demand is, England on one side of the channel, and Ireland on the other-ace here and you Mere this, and nothing short of it, is their ultimatum. Any statesman who car ried to them compliance with that in one hand might bear an olive branch, or anything else, in the other" The Radicals say the people of England will never be willing to surrender Ireland, but MT. Jennings is not at all sure that the Radicals are right. To him it seems that the English people are sick and tired of Irelaud and all it's troubles and that if they could secretly get rid of her-cast her off in the night, as it were, and run await is quite probable they would do so. "Not one public meeting has been called in any part of the country in consequence of all the wild and bloody work which has taken place during the past winter. The English nation have received the news of each successive tragedy with what, I must say, looks very much like absolute indiffer- ence. They are always hearing of such things from Ireland, and now that Mir. Glad stone can do nothing with that country, after all his golden promises and pledges, what hope is there of permanent reconciliation Who can expect to succeed where Mir. Glad stone has failed This is the line of thought which many man is pursuing, and which some of the Radical papers would doubtless express if they only dared"
 In support of Mir. Jennings view of the situation it can be said that Mir. Gladstone has already made some very important con- sessions to the agitators and that Home Rule Cat least) for Ireland did not seem far off be- fore the tragedy in Phoenix park. It can also be fairly argued, as MT. Jennings does argue, that the concessions which have been made have made it impossible for England to go back and that If the Irishmen continue to labor for their countrys independence it will yet be granted as the easiest way out of very perplexing and unpleasant situation.
