GREAT CONNECTION OVER IRELAND.
A special cablegram to the New
York World says the great bulk of
both British political parties are
literally bowling for n renewal of
the coercion acts in Ireland, for the
suppression of the National League
us body of conspirators, and for
the punishment of the leaders as
traitors. The correspondent had
seen the Liberal and Radical leaders,
finding that while there is wide
divergence between Liberals and
Radicals, he is convinced that the
leaders believe that British public
opinion will demand renewal of
coercion in Ireland and ruthless
stamping out of the national spirit.
Henry M. Stanley, the African
explorer, publishes letter over his
own name, in which he expresses
his horror at Parnellism in these
words: "uad we of the North
listened to the South as England
now listens to the Irish separatists,
where would the American Union
be? We didn't listen; we fought"
The Methodist clergy of Ireland,
at their recent meeting in Dublin,
adopted resolution stating that
any legislation tending to dissolve
the union will prejudice the moral
and material interests of Ireland.
The Methodist press of England has
also recently adopted hostile atti-
tude towards the Home-Rulc move
ment. These instances show that,
for the first time in its history, the
Methodist Church of Great Britain
is being used as a partisan in
politics.
Lord Carnarvon has resigned the
viceroyalty of Ireland. The New
York Tribme's correspondent cables
that this event marks the collapse of
an interesting experiment. The
viceroyalty of that amiable noble
man was the outward and visible
sign of a Tory-Parnellite alliance.
He went to Dublin to make an
honest effort to govern Ireland by
means of the ordinary laws, re-
linquishing the crime act, and rely
ing on Mr.. Parnel's cooperation in
maintaining order. This well-mean'
endeavor to repress crime by the
| help of those who, as Englishmer
put the case, are interested in it
success, ends with Lord Carnar
von's return to England.
Both parties agree that the con
dition of Ireland was never NOR
alarming than it is at present. Ear
Cowper's warning that the countr,
was on the eve of the most formid
able strike against rent yet seen i
already justified. The league ha
organized combinations among tn
tenants over q large part of til
country. 1t undertakes to fix q
arbitrary percent of reductions, an
prohibits all payments to landlord
who refuse to accept the league
! scale. Judicial rents, held, accord
ing TO Mr.. ParnelPs dictum, to
no more binding than other attempt
of landlords to enforce payment b
legal means, are resisted by organ
lied force. The landlords on the
side are organizing also. The Duk
; of Devonshire, Lord Harrington
I father, owning 10000 acres in Ir'
! land, has accepted the presidenc
of the Irish Defence Union.
+ United Ireland, the chief PA
=, nellite organ, declares with a
, solemnity that it regards the ayr;
+ rian struggle as never during TIL
!, century more serious than it's now
+ that the population of several cour
{ ties is ready to take up arms, an
, that the people will not subm
= either to eviction or punishment fl
resistance. 1t openly threatens r
prisals if the Government attemp
TO enforce the law. The ArchbishC
: of Dublin, in yesterdays speec
t echoes these threats.
