"On the Threshold OF HcraIding In the
irish NatiOn''-ParncIi Dcnouuce,
the Government
DuRLIS, Dec. 1.-THE Parnell bauquet
tonight was crowded. Among those pres
ent were Mcssrs. Sullivan, Sexton, O'Bricn,
MacCarhy, Biggar, Gray, Healy, O'Conn0r,
and other members of parliament Lord
Mayor Dawson presided. Davit,, in the
course Of his response to the toast 'Ircland
a nation" said that led by Parnell they might
believe themselves on the threshold of
heraldinS in the Irish nation. Lord
Mayor Dawson then read an address 10 Par
nell Parnell, on rising to reply, was
cheeted He referred to the formation of
the land league and SAID "Nevcr was
there movement formed to contend against
such 'ystem of robbery and fraud, in carry
Ing ou which there was so much modcra-
ton displayed, such absence of CRIME.
There are 10000 soldiers and $1,000 police
in LELAND. The hlbeas corpus has been re.
pealedly violated, the most significant eX-
ample being " en- thousand lrishmen were
imprisoned by ''Buckshot' Forster II the
Liberals wish the Irish to cooperate with
them, there mus, lie no more coercion of
emigration. We regard any system of emil
grafton that we have yet had in this country
as mn'derous blow against the life of our
nation, being accompanied by untold suffer-
ings on the par Of the victims. Three
fourths of the cmigrauts from Ireland during
the las. year or two have been compelled to
find homes in miserable garrets In New York,
Boston and Montreal"
1.-THE proceedings of Mr.. Tukess commit
tee stand exposed as indecent attempts to
assist the government to get quit of the Irish
difficulty by getting quit of the Irish people.
II We are to be cmigratcd or coerced we pre-
fer to have the dose administered by Tories
rather than by those wolves in Sleeps cloth
ing, the Wings. The present Irish cyccu-
tive is characterized by greater ,nca1ness and
lncapacity than any of his predecessors. Eirl
spencer came to Ireland as n sort OF inferior
bottle holder TO Forster. We are not sur
prised that Spencer should do his hest to imi-
tate the biggest coerciOnists who ever came
to Ireland, and that he should desire to give
full play to the unbridled insults and pas.
sions of the foreign garrison in Ireland.
Irevelyan's greatest ambition is to prevent
everybody from doing what he has Il legal
right DO Instances are the imprisonment
OF Harrington, the seizure OF the Kerry
Sentinel and the arrest OF its editor
and the suppression Of the National
meetings in the Moth. Our rulers want of
common honesty pcrmit Harrington to remain
N prison for an offence which the men ia
Dublin Castle must know he is innocent OF.
All our experience with English dealings in
Ireland results in the conclusion that the
English always arc willing to employ force
10 the fullest extent against the masses of the
people With regard to the question of in
Guiding Ireland in the extension Of the
franchise our position is strong, winning
one. Whether Ireland i. included or MOI
