LONDON. Aug. 2G.-Mr. PamelFs Dub
lin speech of yesterday has thoroughly
aroused the Conservative press of England.
The TiReS says that no prudent politician
can undeTrate the Importance OF the action
taken by the Irish NationaliStS at their con-
ference in Dublin yesterday. Mr.. Par
nellS program. " continues the Times. may.
however. meet with a fate similar TO that
which befell O'CmnelI's at a time when the
lrislmen We're as confident aS they are now.
Mr.. ParneN demands the repeal of the
union. so the Irish question is 10 longer 4
question of local Self-goveTnment. This
might be acceded TO by England. which
viii never listen to plan for the Separa-
ton OF Ireland" The Standard saws: 1t
will be shame and a disaster if English
statesmen of both parties fail TO bailie him.
We do not pretend TO ignore the
danger to which the imperial unity is ex-
posed. = Mr. Pamell now holds n
strong hand. The late Liberal majority in
parliament could afford 10 ignore him. but
it viii be difficult in a parliament evenly
balanced between the two parties.
Mr.. Parnell. has. however. rivals bv the
score. He knows very well how precious
his tenure of authority is. If
both the Wings and Tories make il clear
from the outset that Mr.. ParnelrS demand
for home rule viii be met with firm opposi-
ton. his influence viii be doomed" =" The
News takes advantage of the excitement
over Mr.. Panelrs bold declaration for
Irish independence to exhibit the advantage
which a large Liberal majority will be to
the country. 1.-The Liberals" argues the
News, ''are more likely to oppose the Par
nell demands than the Conservatives"
