The House cheered, and elsewhere than in the
House such declaration as that may well be
cheered II raises land answers the question
whether Englishmen can maintain personal and
social relations with Mr. PaIne while he stands In
the position of a man whom his own silence con-
victs of cornivance with Outrages and violent
crimes Mr.. Parnell is n man born into station OF
life which would naturally give him access to al
most any society he might care 70 enter. When AZ
home he was rather considerable country gentle
man. quite independently of his political celebrity
During his Parliamentary career he has oeen re-
garded by portion of London society as a nom
don't think he much cared fer nOtoriety OF tha'
sort still there have always been houses where he
was to be met 1t might be a delicate experiment
TO exhibit him now. 1t is not everybody who
would care to meet tne employer of Sheridan and
the head of League which throve on murder.
The question what guest would or might do in
euch circumstances has been discussed but there is
no doubt as to the general rule here III England.
The rule is that the men Tor the womenl whom you
meet under auother's roof are for the time being
simply the guests of your host you are That
character swallows up every other. 1t Is thought
the mark of lll-bred man to carry either private
quarres or political enmtieS into a draving-room.
1t must be taken that the rule would even cover
the case of meeting with man held in adherence
on moral grounds. Cases could be quoted where
personal enemies have met and chatted and parted
on civil terms at dinner table, never again to
speak to each other. have known man asked to
take in to dinner a woman with respect to whom he
stood on terms that would have seemed to forbid
the exchange of q word OF look that was not
deadly They went down together and sat side by
side through the meal and neither OF them improved
the occasion to put prussic acid into the others
SOUP Conversation between them there was not
but there was the outward observance of the pro-
prieties of life; which is all thar is absolutely re-
quired of anybody. | have heard of a very differ
ent case, where all Enghshman, with some blood oil
a hotter climate in his veins, met man he dis
liked and then and tlAre tucked his wife under his
arm, said good evening to his astonlshed host Just
as the butler announced dinner, and so departed.
He was condemned Tor doing it. less direct but
not less amusing illustration may be given. man
was asked to dine at a house where he had been
first introduced TO friend with whom he had since
ouarrelled His answer was 81 will dine with
Won proyided X is not to be of the party" HIS
host was not a man who liked beng dlca ated to III
the composition of dinner party or anything else.
He received his testy guest. but don't think he
asked him again. la France there is less tolerance
and real good breeding in such matters than here.
To mention but one example, which is French
though il happened in Madrid. The French Ambas-
sador was present at a Ministerial reception where
PRESENTLY he observed Marshal Bazaine Instantly
le Quilted tue room, aud his wife with him, like
,ur friend above. If Lord Lyons should meet Mr..
Parnell at NJ. Jules Ferry's some evening, rather
:hink he will stand his ground.
The question is raised about Mr. Parnell. but
there are not many OF his following with reference
20 whom there could BE- any question of the KIND.
Not many of them have often found their way IN
ude English front doors. Now and then dinners
have been made up in part of Parnelte members
or the qualification of some great mans curiosity,
20 whom he list has been submitted prev 0usiy
and sometimes ruthlessly cnt down. Of late, even
he best of them have chosen 10 withdraw them
,elves FROM some OF the circles they once ire
,uented. There are still, however, houses where
lhe unwary Engshmsn on pleasure bent may find
himself exchanging views on the weather with men
red-hapded from Land League cOuacls
different point was raised By Mr.. Forsters re-
mark about Nh Justin McCarthys connection with
United Ireland. This is the paper winch described
The Land Leagne a. engaged in IA campaign, which
denounced everybody VINO should refuse TO take
MS orders for the campaign from the Land League,
md which week after week published, under the
heading "Tbe Campaign" a list of robberes,
hurntnrs insults to women. boyc"ttings and muir
3ers. MIR. Justin Mccarthy Is. like Mr.. ParnelI' a
nroprietor of this interesting sheet and has aVowed
his auproya of it's contents, and IS rightly held re-
,ponsible for them. Perhaps by and by 1t may oc-
eur to somebody to remark that Inc Daiy Ne"S Is
also TO some extent responsible for Alr. McCartnV'
o,o baCore he sank into the Land Leagne, Mr..
Jps,in Mccarthy was leader writer on this Lib
eral sheet lie has retained his connection with H.
and Is believed to have some influence IN the once
ON Irish matters. some of It's Liberal readers puZ-
zed 10 account for the eccentric views 1t holds on
Ireland. for its half concealed sympathy with the
League and covert advocacy of Home Rule measures,
are wont to attribute to Mr.. Mccarthy the author
shin of articles 50 widely divergent from the
convictions of Liberals in general. They may be
wrong about that nor do many of them know much
about the inside of newspaper office. If the ma
ionty even knew the fact of Mir. McCsrthy's EN-
pIoyment on the paper, they would wonder less at
it's alterations.
One Of the hits of Mr. Forsters speech was his re-
mark about Mr. O'Donneli, who bad been very
bold IN his denials of the of Land League funds

of unconcealed disdain, ono one suspects HIM OF

ceiye OF any body of sane men whatever, meeting
whether for good or an evil purpose, taxing inc

which is perhaps more and more often bored by Mr.
ODonnell than by anybody else, greeted this sally
with cheers and general hllarty.
