Mr.. Parnell Preparing for an Aggressive
Campaign in the House.
LONDON, Aug. 17-Mr. Parnell has requested
all the Irish members of Parliament to be p-es-
ent on Thursday at the reassembling of Parlia-
ment. He says that in view of the grave and
pressing condition of public affairs it is very
essary that there should be full attendance of
the Irish contingent.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal says Mr.. Par.
nells summons shows that the Parnelltes do not
intend to await the convenience of the Ministry
in dealing with the Belfast riots, and the alarm
ing condition of the Irish farmers. Lord Sails
bury must explain how he intends to meet the
contingency of the inability of the farmers to
pay their rents, and he will be called upon to
declare the policy he intended to substitute for
that Of "Manacles and Manitoba"
The government intend to Introduce, at the
next session of Parliament, measure giving
local government to Ireland on the basis of the
plan proposed by Lord Randolph Churchill.
The Harrington party will support the scheme
Mr.. Gladstone will neither initiate nor pro-
long the discussion with reference to Ireland in
the debate on the address IN reply to the Queens
speech. His followers acquiesce in this decision.
Although the speech from the throne will not In
dicate Lord Saisburys Irish policy, it is under
stood that Lord Randolph Churchill or Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach. during the debate, will
intimate that measure will be introduced n ext
year dealing with the Irish local government
and land question The Gladstonians will
accept such intimation as sufficient
pledge for the present but the Parnellites ap-
pear to be determined to press for details,
in which event lengthy discussion will proba-
bly, ensue. AS soon as the address has been
adopted the government will move that the sup
ply bills have precedence It is believed that
Notwithstanding the expected action of the Par
nellites, the House will be prorogued on Sep
tember 10, until the first week in November,
when. unless some untoward events should
cur it will be further prorogued until the begin
ming of February. The government whips have
advised the Conservatives that it will be useless
to give notice of the introduction of new bills in
the present session, and that no private business
will be discussed.
The Standard says: 1.-THE Queens speech will
be empty of any of statement of policy or matter
leading to controversy Although the opponents
of the government may raise discussion over
omissions, will be able to challenge
a single proposition contained in the
speech Mr.. Parnell may raise the
rent question, in order to keep the American ex-
tremists in good humor; but it must be the busi-
ness of Sir Michael Hicks Beach to disabuse the
Irish of their belief in the omnipotence of boy
cottng as means OF whiting rents to zero.
When he has done that, Irshmen will not be
slow to avail themselves of the generous offers
of the existent land purchase act"
The Times says: at is some what curious if
MIR. Parnell means business, that several of the
leading Parnelites are either already absent or
are arranging for an early departure from the
scene of Parliament Probably Mr.. Parnell is
waiting to see how the cat jumps in America.
1t is no matter for surprise that while the Chi
cago convention is pending many of the sepa-
ratist party restless and uneasy"
The Daily News says: SHOULD the Irish dele
gates at Chicago fail to silence or expel the ad-
vocates of dynamite the whole world will regard
toe convention with indignant contempt. The
dynamiters can best be dealt with with rope
II Rosa was hung the world would be rid of
a cowardly knave. The chief interest in the
Chicago convention however, centers in the
fact that the Irish delegates have resolutely set
their faces, not only against dynamters but
against violence in any shape"
Referring to the probable Tory policy the
News says that there was never less reason to
proclaim the National League than now.
