tion Policy In Parliament.
New YORK, July 2l.-Mr. Patrick Ford
has received a cable dispatch from Michael
Davitt, in which he says: IL have read the
extracts from the Irish World article recon-
mending the Irish parliamentary party to
adopt the policy of obstructing in Parlia-
mcnt all measures introduced for the bene-
fit of the English masses, because of the
votes of the latter against Home Rule.
This policy would be suicidal. The Eng
liSh are not against Gladstone and Home
Rule hut against the Land Purchase
scheme. Even now Gladstone has polled
300, 600 votes more than the Tories,
but the uncOntested elections gave
the opponents Of Home Rule a
majority. The true policy for Home Rulers
is To advocate the reforms required by the
workers of great Britain while advocating
Justice to Ireland The struggle for the
highest form of Irish liberty ought TO run
parallel to the aspirations of the British
democracy for n reform of their social con-
dition, for economical liberty, for labor in
the field and the workshop. If the Irish

masses they will be playing the game OF
the classes and forfeit the sympathy of the
million and half of British voters who
supported Home Rule this election.
Ireland has splendid chance of win
ming a better measure of Home Rule than
that defeated, if We show the millions who
toll and spin in Great Britain that in
lighting for our rights we place no limits
to the cauec of liberty and will strive for il
