LIBERTY FOR THE ISLE.
PARNELL AND CLIFFORDLLOYn
EMPRESS THEIR VIEWS.

Castle DespOtism.
DUBLIN, Aug. 21.-Mr. Parnell to-day
entertained the Dublin Municipal Coun-
Gil at Arklow. In an address the Irish
leader said that it would be impossible to
revive the native industries OF Ireland
without free elections and a national as
sembly possessing power Of control over
all the political and economic affairs OF
the country. He said that he
hoped few months, or at
least a few years, would bring back
to the Irish people the right to govern
Ireland at home, and Danish English mis-
rule forever from the land.
CLIFFORD LLOYD ON IRELAND's NEEDS.
LONDON, Aug. 2I.-Clihord Lloyd, wha
was special British Magistrate In Ireland
during the troublesome days when Earl
Spencer was crushing out the Inyincibles.
publishes IN to-day's Times an elaborate
statement which he designates "Ireland's
needs" Among these he places first
local self-gOvernment, which he advo-
Gates. He also favOrs the establishment
OF elective county boards, and the trans
| fer OF the power Of initiating improves
ments and financial arrangements from
government app0intees TO direct repre-
sentatives OF the Irish people, whom he
describes as recipients Of the benefits
and supporters Of the burdens Of local
legislation"
ABOLITION OF THE BUREAUCRACY.

should be incorporated as an integral par6
OF the United Kingdom, "from which the
present vlceroyalty excludes it," Control
OF the courts of justice, the police and
general taxation, Mr.. LLOYD argues,
should bekept in the hands OF Parliament.
lie condemns home rule in the sense de-
manded by the Parnelites, and claims
/ that It's establishment In Ireland would
result In civil war between Ulster and the
remainder of the country.
The Times, commenting on the whole
subject, says that Lord Randolph Church.
| llPs new regime, which involves the
county board scheme advocated by Mr..
| Lloyd, would certainly bring about a con-
flict between the boards and Dublin Castle
and the government, in the event Of q
continuance OF the latter.
DEFENSE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
This being an inevitable outcome Of the
plan, the enemies of the castle govern-
ment will, the paper says, urge the oppor-
tuneness of sweeping away the whole
Dublin Castle establishments, the sup
1 porters Of which must therefore quickly
/ prepare some defense of it's existence.
What the defense can consist Of the
Times does not undertake to suggest but
1t declares that the friends Of Dublin
| Castle can hardly defend it from the
charge OF being a despotism. Besides,
continues the Times, Mr.. Lloyd's accusa-
tion against the castle implies that it's
despotism is.Qf the kind which, when an
exceptional occasion arises for its exer-
| else, necessarily proves incapable, and
this charge OF incapacity, the Times de-
clares, is the gravest of all the charges
| against which the defenders OF castle rule
In Ireland have to defend themselves.
A public meeting, to take action with
! reference to the criminal law amendment
bill, was held in st. James hall this even
ing, and was followed by conference on
morality. Only 1000 persons attended
the meeting. The objects Of the meeting
were approved by the National Vigilance
Society.
