The Irish Question in American Pol

Boston, Aug. 2l.-At the Parker house,
a number of Catholic bishops and leaders of
the Irish National league, concerning means
by which the coming political contest in this
country could be turned to
the advancement of Irelands cause
1t is understood that Mrs, Panell
Represented her son at the conference. Mrs
Parnell made a suggestion, coming as from
her son, that a proposition would be sub
mitted to the Republican and Democratic
parties, the acceptance of which by either
would decide for which party the organized
Irish vote would be cast. Mrs. Parnell stated
that capital was to be invested in
Ireland to manufacture laces, linens, friezes,
woolens and twaeds As these Irish goods
could not be made in this country, their
importation would not in any sense conflict
with American home industry, inasmuch rs
the association in England proposed to ex-
cusively control the production. Mr..
Parnells proposition, therefore, was
that direct offer be submitted to the polit-
ical parties of the United States, as follows;
If, in accordance with the friendly feeling
expressed toward Ireland in America by
Americans, one of the political parties
will incorporate a plank in its plat.
form in favor of admitting goods Of
Irish manufacture free of duty, speci
flying such goods as cannot be manu-.
featured elsewhere than in Ireland
and the importation of which will not com
pete with American productions, then such g
party will receive the organized support OF
the Irish-American vote Even if a direct
organization should not be made yet. the
Irish vote will be directly or indirectly infu
enced in favor of the party which shall
champion the cause of Irish industry as in

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Times pub
fishes a letter from Madrid, in which the
writer, after calling attention to the fact
that the Spanish foreign office has deter
mined to dispense with the services of Sid
ney Webster as the legal advisor of its
legation at Washington says:
"But what does this dismissal of Mr. Web
ster imports The polite reason was econom-
ical Spain could not afford to pay $12, 900 a
year even for the valuable services of Mr..
Websterl The Spanish treasury undoubtedly
is far from being in a plethoric condition.
But does Mr.. Webster's dismissal
mean that Cuba is to be abandoned by
Spain! Unquestionablyl But to whom9 The
negotiation of commercial treaty between
Spain and the United States proceeds slowly.
But it is no secret here that this proposed
treaty really means no relief to Cuba and no
practical benefit to the United States, In a
previous letter pointed out the dominance
at Madrid of German influence In the
short time that has elapsed since that was
written have not the occurrences in Europe
an diplomacy strongly corroborated the views
advocated. > When German pro-
tectorate is established over Spanish posses

parently trivial incidents will then appear to
have had the utmost significance, and wise
men will wonder that they did not attach
more Importance thereto.
