To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The Irish Nationa!ists are fighting the bat
tie no more in Ireland, where their cause is
gained, but in England, especially in Lon
don. It is a strange sight to English
crowds welcome and cheer Parne1l, Sexton
and Michael Davitt. At a large meeting
held in st. James Hall last Wednesday it
was the Irish ex-political conviet-a great
patriot-who had the pleasure of proposing
vote of thanks to Her Majesty's govern
1nent. Tempora mutantur! Dear John
BULL There is no such man as he to make
virtue Of necessity!
Lord Randolph Churchill has deemed it
consistent with good taste to send an address
to his constituents, in which he refers to Mr..
Gladstone's attitude as one of "senile vani-
ty," and his effort to pacify Ireland as one to
"gratify the ambition of an old man in
hurry" The young Tory Democrat can
eclipse any hshwife of Billingsgate in lam
guage and abuse. A costermonger rising
from the heights of his wheelbarrow and
yelling abuse at successful rival would re-
tire from competition with this descendant
of the great Marlborough. But the noble
lord will not attempt to defend himself. He
once heard a diplomatist say that stit was
not Gladstone's insult to Austria Cin 1879
that damaged him 80 much in Europe, but
his apology in 1880, when he came back to
power" Lord Randolph has taken the NOR
al to heart and he goes on his way without
explanations OF apologies. The address OF
to young Tory leader will greatly heln rne
Liberals.
We were much amused at the beginning of
the week by the issue of a Fenian manifesto,
declaring that the true Irish patriots would
never be satisfied until the last link that tied
Ireland to England had been broken, and
that dynamite would soon be again resorted
to in order to attain this end. But the au-
thor OF the supposed manifesto is too clever
by half and it is easy to see that it is moth
ing but base electioneering dodge. Yet
the Conservative papers have made capital
of it and used it as warning to the electors
who are ready to record their votes to Mr.
Gladstone and his followers. Mr.. Michael
Davitt thinks that the author of this docu-
ment is an ex-editor of a weekly Irish paper
now extinct, which pretended at time to
represent the views of the extreme Irish Ma
tionalists. This gentleman it would appear,
failing after repeated applications to obtain
money OF employment from Mr.. Parnell, has
been for some time the special dynamite rev.
olutionist contributor to a London Conserva-
tive evening paper, and is now on the pam
phleteering staff of the Loyal and Patriotic
Union. All this is very discreditable to the
Conservatives and their "Fenian manifesto"
an unscrupulous maneuvre. They must
feel that their cause is very poor one, as is
shown by the following frank remark made
by prominent Conservative statesman to
foreign correspondent in the lobby of the
House of Commons, "What with Sails
hury's twenty years of coercion; Carnavon
hand in glove with Parnen and Randolph's
cursed election address, the Tory party is
pretty thoroughly up tree just now"
The Comte de Paris has left France for
England, Prince Napoleon for Switzerland
and his son Victor for Belgium For the
first time in his life Prince Victor must feel
that he is an important parsonage, danger
to the republic, Poor boy! I do not sup
