LONDON, June 2.-lt is slowly puI
surely dawning on the visions of the
more fiery members of the Irish party
that Pope Leo, in issuing the papal re-
script, has shown himself more aStute
politician and friend of Ireland than
majority of Nationalist for the past
few weeks were willing to concede. ID
stead of abuse of his holiness, which
has been heard from day to day at the
public gatherings throughout Ireland,
now praise for his far-Sightedness is
being proclaimed by Irish members OF
parliament, who but yesterday were
loud in their denunciations of what
they termed Pope Leo's friendship for
the Tory government. The measured
result of the papal rescript, as con-
tanned in the weighty words of Arch
bishop Walsh, of Dublin, and the
Stephens Green action, making the
close alliance with Mr.. Gladstone, are
occurrences of rare and striking mag
nitude, the whole value of which can
not be apprehended at single glance,
for it needs an eye trained in political
perspective to judge the proportion OF
events so varied. In one sense, the
papal reScript is an event of the most
weighty Importance. With regard,
however, to immediate effects upon po-
litieal conduct, the words of his holiness
sink into comparative worthleSsneSs
beside the grave and influential utter
ance of the Irish leader. No man
speaks to Irishmen with an authority
in N IN hn r1th
ity which Mr.. Parnell so unquestiona-
bly, yields. When Mr.. Parnell advises
any particular line of action,
HIS WORDS DO NOT FALL
to the ground. Still more effective may
politicians think them when they find
his opinion and advice in perfect accord
with the warning coming from Rome.
Joining both it needs little foresight to
enable one to see the plan of campaign,
as such, will be gradually dropped, and
that return to the methods of 1884
and the two succeeding years, up to the
PRONUNCIATION of the plan itself, will be
resorted to. Mr.. Balfonr has not done
this. Coercion has not done it. The
strange spectacle is now presented of a
country at war with it's government,
but obedient even to docility to two
great advisers, one supreme in morals
and the other in politics, who have, not
at their command police, Soldiery,
jailorS or eXecutionerS. Never was the
gulf between the rule of force and, the
mild restraint of free obedience more
fOrcibly demonstrated. :;
In the immediate future large: de-
velopment of the labor question is
looked for as one of the determining
difficulties and problems which states
HOY 70 F.,
Ireland that in the conflict which is COM
ing she can show body of representa-
tives who sympathiZe with the needs
of the toiling millions, but who, at the
same time, are cautiously prudent in
avoiding mere oyerturn and scramble
which could only end in greater and
deeper misery. The labor party are i'm
patient, but the majority of their lead;
ers are now seriously pressing upon
them that it would be fatal misfortune
to disjoint or break up the party of
progress until such good as that party
can effect has been carried into eXecu-
ton. Michael Davitt is
THE CONNECTING LINK
between the so-called ''official' parties
Mr.. Gladstone and his allies on one
one side and the unattached labor party
on the other-and it can be said, with
authority, that Michael Davitt vehem-
emily deprecateS any course which would
tend to weaken Mr.. Gladstone or Par
nell in the arduOns struggle through
which they are now passing. MI. Par
nell, at the same time, is gradually
broadening into an understanding of
great democratic issues; and be-
tween these two able and trusted men
it is hoped that policy will be found
sufficiently inclusive to meet the natural
and proper requirements of the demo-
Gratis of Great Britain. All sections of
progress are now uniting as one against
the combinations of class interests
forming the Unionist party IN the three
Kingdoms. But the combination formed
by MeSSrS. Gladstone and Parnell will
be of moderate and reasonable demands
and not one of mere cOmplainingS and
discomfort. Mr.. Parnell will gradually
infuSe into it such elements of calmnesS
and restraint as will counterbalance the
more ebullient members of his party.
This policy will cement the close union
between the parties of progress on both
sides of the channel and effect the con-
summation SO much desired by MIR.
Gladstone; and weighing everything as
carefully as possible, it can be said that
the Nationalist have turned the corner
in Irish agitation and that they now
move on the level and safe road of
strictly legal agitation, backed up with
a reSOlute and persistent criticism in
parliament of all acts and measures of
which may tend to irritate or annoy or
impede the advance of the masses of the
people in England or Ireland,
