PARNELiISM.
Matters Concerning the Importance OF
Home Rule for Ireland.

LONDON, December 21.-Joseph Cowen,
member OF Parliament elected for Newcas-
tle-on-Tyne, has issued a manifesto to his
constituents respecting home rule for Ire
land. Mr.. Cowen was the chief one OF the
exceptions made by Mr.. Parnell in his a
ifesto, instructing the Nationalist not to
vote for a Liberal or Radical candidate.
Mr.. Cowen says: ut is impossible Tor Eng
land to consent to protective tariffs Tor
Ireland, the confiscation of the property of
the landlords in Ireland, or to allow Irish
members to l~egislate in home affairs in
England, in addition to their having their
own Parliament. With these exceptions l
approve of home rule for Ireland. The
proper guarantees for the representation
of the minorities is an equitable partition
of all imperial changes, and the unity OF
the Empire, in my opinion, is useless.
The best security against a disruption Of
union is the mutual interests existing be-
tween England and Ireland"
THE ORANGE LODGE MANIFESTO.
DUBLIN, December 21.-The Grand Orange
| Lodge OF Ireland held d meeting in Dublin
to-day to devise means for opposing home
rule Tor Ireland. A large number OF peers
and several Loyalist members of the House
of Commons were present. A manifesto
addressed to Orangemen Of Great Britain
was drafted and will be posted throughout
Great Britain and Ireland Tomorrow. The
manifesto declares that P~rotestantism in
three of the provinces OF Ireland is at the
mercy of avowed conspirators, who are
e%ndeavoring to overthrow the rule OF the
Imperial Government, and claims that the
Loyalists represent the industry and intel
ligence of Ireland, and says one OF the first
points which the Parnellites will seek to
obtain, will be the complete control OF
educational matters. This would give
them control over the rising generation,
while the command OF the police would
make them masters Of the present gener-
alton. The slightest relaxation OF ties OF
the union, the manifesto says, will eventu
ate in a separation, and the ultimate ruin
of the country, as it will establish a drill
ground for hostile armies n dockyards
for foreign fleets in the most vulnerable
port Of the empire.
