AND MARRIAGE.

| IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT THE TRIBUNE.
LONDON, March 10.
The most striking Irish episode OF the week IS
| perhaps that connected with the name of MI.
| O'Bren the new member for ireland. and Editor Of
United Ireland that journal of the Land League of
which Mr.. Parncll and Mr.. Mccarthy are part pro-
| prietOrs. Mr.. O'Bren seems 20 have been chosen
by Mr. Parnel az the ftest instrument of the policy
announced just before the session began by The
| Freemn's Journal That policy Is TO denouuce Mr..
Trevelyan as Mr.. Forster was denounced. Mr..
OBrien in his place IN Parliament names Mr. Ire
velyan as deserving the execratOn OF the world
This, too Ia part of the " machinery of murder
and it is not the first time that from the benches
where tie Parnellies sit the signal has been given
for the shot fired behind the hedge. or the knife
plunged into the victims back.
This time. am glad to say. the performance WAS
not allowed to pass without challenge. Mr.. Tre-
velyan rose at once and in terms in which there Is
no ambiguity told the House the meaning and in
tent of Mr.. O'Brien's attack. Foni men, said the
Chief Secretary. have successively been held mp to
the execraton OF tho people OF Ireland in u certlin
paper. and those four were Mr.. Forster. the late
Mr.. Burke, Mr.. Justice Lawson and Mr.. Field the
jurymnn. I" | ask the House, continued Mr.. Tre-
velyan in cool, firm tones to remember the
Meeting link between those four" Has anybody
anywhere IN the world forgotten it-forgctten that
last two weeks the same sort Of attack has been
directed against the present Chief Secretary.
United ireland describes Mr.. Trevelyan as the most
hated man in Iresnd-precisely the phrase levolled
Of old at Mr.. Forster. Up to THIS time, says the
organ of Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Mccarthy, no
could be found moro inhuman or more destitute of
any of feeling than Mr. Forster; bit ut last
person had appeared more inhuman and more dest-
tute of common feeling than Nj Forster. and that
is Mr.. Trevelyan. To which Mr.. Parnell cried
loudly, Hear hearW
Mr. Parnell, we'll knowing what was coming, had
sought at the outset Of Mr.. Trevelyans speech 10
interrupt him. appealing to the Speaker on point
of ORDER; but vainly. There nothing LETT for
him but to br8zen it out with savage cries, as be
did. Mr.. Sexton followed suit He avow.d in so
many words that so long as be able TO SPEAK
he would not be silent nor bate one word of what
he conceived 10 be the truth because criticisms
upon public men had led to violence" Mr. Glad.
stone underlined the remark in the usual House of
Commons way, which means that note is taken of n
significant declaration. Upon winch Mr.. Sexton
repeated It,
What does all this mean If it does not mean that
the Parnellites are more and moro openly ayowIng
that completely with crime of which Mr. Forster
has convicted Mr. Parnell himselfY
But It is not convenient to Euglishman who plead
the Home hulo cause tnat tne connection between
its various classes Of Irish advocates should he too

ment long as it has been pracised in Ireland. has
not become congenial to Englirhmen. and English
allies of Irish Home Rule arc nervous under such
plain apeaking as Mr. Trevelyans and such I'M
blushing candur AS Mr.. O'Brien's and Mr.. Parnelps
aud Mr.. Sections. Says The Daily Neios: "The
terms in which Mr. 0'Biien spoke of Mr.. Trevelyan
cannot be too severely condemned though 1t would
lie absurd to attribute to any rhetoric of passion the
long and patiently organized and carefully exc
cuted crimes which Mr. Trevelyan held up 10 the
Just indignation of the House."
