No nero disclaimer of connection with outrages,
urged Mr.. Forster, will be sufficient. There have
been disclaimers such as they were,
before now. Mr.. Parnelrs method OF
disconnecting himself with the actual
perpetratioD of murder is known. There had oeen
murder in Kilkenny, and the leader OF the Land
League spoke shortly after near the scene OF IT,
What did he sayf He said it was "entlrely I'M

that is not the which will satisfy the Honse
of Commons that Mr.. Parnell knew nothing OF the
outrages and the system OF terror. the proht OF

ignorant of the passions of his fellow-countrymen
as not to know that murder must have been as IL

Their. are two grounds for hope, declares Mr..
Forster In his conclusion. One is that the Irish
Government has now the power TO uphold the law,
and will use 1t. The other is that MIR. Parn1l and
his fellow chiefs in this so-called agitation have
been found out-that the cruelty and wIckedness OF
this agitation have been unveiled, unmasked and
forever exposed.
Under this torrent of intOerable reproaches the
leader of the Irish National League cung still TO his
bench Tainted by Lord Harrington little later
with his silence, he proteSsed to have meant all

Is to be said that nothing short of full, complete,

Kilmainham part above all, hut have no space. |
mag add that for readers who accepted my account
of that matter at the time Mr. Forster needs no vim

with true courage, and with a knowledge of the
facts about Ireland. and sure view OF the future
which all that has happened since has abnndantly
