Rarded as expressing the views Of the IRISH 10y III

Hc writes
To judge from what is RAISING round us from day
to day are close TO crisis in the history OF
this country. The present state OF atlalls cannon
possibly continue Either Ia nells party must be
the victor ami reign supreme IN the lani or the
constitutional larty must triumph and drive tnell
opponents INTO that obscuIity from which they
emerged some seven years ago. There can be no
half measures. no condition of truce on armed
neutrality in which the combatants rest On theh
weapons each watching for the other 10 move
The reasons which point TO this conclusion must
] think, be plain TO every one who can dspasslon
atcy Judge of the present by the history OF the
past Agitation has been carried TO such extremes
that tie >eIy tools necessary 10 It's working nave
themselves suffered 10 such an extent That unless
ca ly and victorious CT nSummation is shown To DC
certain they will decline TO be further utilized
That Mr. PANEL fully appreciates the roslton OF
affairs an the immncncc of the crisis is cca
from his own tactics Ills Tenants Relief bill was
only a dishonest stalklng horse on which to found
further agitation. The revival this year OF the
nolent cry by his leutenants and their threats
of a bloody winter based the false assertion OF
wholesale cvctions Lave all so far failed 10 ac-

str n ush or total collapse is the inevitable
alternative. As to the future of the lrlSh farmers

out Of every twenty of the sufferers from those
Outraees ha G been farmers asants 1he
Irish Americans who helped TO subscribe these
funds hardly realize that their money has been

The Irish party's hopes were raisei beyond their
most san guinc expectations by Mr.. GladstOnc's
strong conversion TO the lMneltc policy but those
Elusive hopes were thoroughly dispellcd by the

IRISH pcop'e. They now see that MIR. larnell is
not as OmnpOtcnt in the House OF Commons as he
would have them believe. They see that tic
