Important disclosures promised in the Par

parently believing that they can connect the irish
leader with the Phoenix Park murdcrers. This
claim on its face is preposterous. Mr. Parnen lost
heavily by those dastardly crimes. At the moment
when lie emerged from Kmainham the I'M
crowned king as Mr.. Forster described him, his
mower was undermined by the Phoenix Park
murderers The Home Rule cause was seriously
retarded his policy was defeated; and coercion,
which had been abandoned, was taken up again

him with those crimes. it must have convinced
itself that he deliberately plotted his own ruin.

On the contrary, that idea lies at the bottom of

The British Minister may not contribute to

Scarcely any element is lacking to make the

1t is to be hoped in the interest Of law-mak-
/ ing that the new ceiling with which the Assembly
Chamber is now being furnished will stay quietly
where il is placed. Last winter it must have been
difficult for a nervous Asscmblyman to concentrate
his energies upon the public business, since he was
liable or thought he was liable, at any moment to
have his attention distracted by two or three tons
of stone falling upon his own head. The suspense
must have been as aggravatng as that which our
old friend Damoclcs endured while the sword was
hanging over him. Indeed, it may we'll have been
more aggravating, since the sword might possibly
have struck Damoclcs n glancing blow on the side
of the head merely inflicting flesh wound. But

is manifcstly an error. Gillig would rather
