Weu il begins to be clear that. however lnti-
mately Mr. Parnell knows the lrish he does no'
know the English. He foIgets that they arc P'i,
haps the worst people in the world to buly' uoh
even except ourselves in America, BECAUSE ai'ei
all analities and traits of race and Dlood Ero coi-
mon to Americans and English alike II IL was true
before Mr.. parnen spoke that he held in the hollow
ofbi bo,d the rolitical destinies Of this Kingdom
of Great britain il is less true since he spoke Inc
cv,ical insolence of such boast does much 10 de-
feat il Answers pour in upon him from every
ouarter and from Journals and statesmen OF every
Marty and Of no party "SuppOsing," says the Oon-
servatiye organ that Mr.. Parnels predictions are
fulfilled and he finds himself master OF eighty VOTES
in n House of Commons more evenly divided thal
at present is lie quite sure that the leauers ou oo
sides have not virtue enough, and sense enough W
agree 70 strike these eighty votes out OF the account
o,, or,, orcs+ion of ConfdenceR" Mr.. Parnell has
shocked even The Ddy Nelrs and though that Jour
nal is so far haunted by the spectre OF kllmalnhan
as 70 hesitate abont rcscntng his dctaton, IL lhlS
plainly enough that there are means OF ending inc
threatened control ale has, indeed, ehectually II
not permanently alienated the sympatmos OF Eng
lishmcn. . . He has never yet SHOWN 'n"'
tboro "a any principle which he would not, on an
emergency sacrifice to the polltical heeuS VI ',io
,oo,ncrt He has always acted like a man who
,youId do ANYTHING to wn" The Times meets the
challenge with the utmost directneSs OF speech:
"Let Mr. Parne prove if he can, that he Is able to
sbatter existing parties. 1t is better to know the
worst than to live under the continual threat OF an
explosion of dynamite" And the same journal
sensiblv observes that the very magnitude OF the
peril would work a remedy. The constituencies
might be trusted to give TO some English party
majority against which even the eighty Parnelnte
votes would not suffice to turn the scale. Let any
Government dissolve on such an Issue as Mr. ParneL
oeers-an issue putting in question the ndepen-
dence of Parliament and the integrity OF the hlng
dom.-what better cry could there be to 60 10 the
ccuntrv withR Said Mr. Forster yesterday at BRAD
ford "If there is an attempt by the Parneltes TO
govern the United Kingdom, and to decree Which
Marty shall govern it, and to make their bargain,
they will find that they have something else to deal
with than two parties. They Will have the people
of England and Scotland to deal with"
II would be easy to accumulate Testimonies OF
that kind. as il would be easy to multiply quota
tions of base and shocking sentiments from Mr Par-
nel's speech. But the case, apprehend IS clear
enonrb as il stands. Mr.. Parnel inyelghs with MS
usual vehemence against the Crimes Act. Does IL
ever occur to his admirers if such he has, among
Americans Il do not mean Irsh-Americans what
the Grimes Act is7 1t is an act against crimes an
act for the prevention of outrage, the protection OF
the innocent and the punishment OF the guilty
WHY does ..r. Parnell complain of itf Because his
power rests on the perpetuation of crime 1hls too,
his speech of Wednesday brought out freshly and
forcibv. Does he suppose the English people are
going TO submit to a political tyranny Of which
crime is the foundation Yet. if the menace ne ad-
dressed to England has any serious meaning II
means exactly that; and that may serve as meas
ure of the chances of its fulfment. &. W. s.
