THE PARNELL LlBELS.

The Parnell Commission is already discred-
tied by the Home Rulers as partisan court.
Two Of the three judges who will conduct the
investigation are described by the Irish men,
bers as Conservatives and the third as a Union
list. Justice Day, moreover has been char
acterized by Mr. Lab Ouchere and Mr.. Morley
as a man strongly prejudiced against the Irish.
The retention of Justice Day has been secured
by majorities CT SO and 43 in two divisions
in which party lines have been sharply drawn.
The investig cation, if it be finally sanctioned
by Parliament, will be a Conservative project
supported by the Unionist majority. Mr.. Par
nell denounces it in advance as an unjust
scheme, since under it the members of his party
are to be tried by jury of three political OPP
ponents, one of whom is predisposed to convict
an Irishman of any charge that may be made
against him. The verdict of such a jury is
not likely to be accepted as one that will be
free from partisan bias. Indeed. it hardly
seems possible that the judges themselves will
consent to serve on the commission when the
impartiality of the tribunal is questioned by
the Opposition.
An investigation of charges against the char
acter Of legislators is invariably regarded as a
usage involves the appointment of legislative
committee, armed with power TO examine wit
nesses and to secure documentary evidence
The majority of this committee may be pc
litical opponents Of the accused, but there is
minority fully capable of protecting the rights
Of those whose conduct is to be reviewed
There is no precedent either in the English
archives of constitutional government or in
the legislative records Of other countries for
the substitution Of three judges for committee
in case of this kind. For this reason there
will probably be little regret in any quarter
if the expedient be eventually discarded. Ger
tainly the Unionists will derive no permanent
advantage from an investigation conducted by
judges who have been named by themselves
and are believed by the Irish members to be
deeply prejudiced against them. The verdict
Of such a commission will not promote the ends
Of impartial justice.
II the commission be abandoned there will
be loud outcries in England for n libel suit
against "The London Times" Mr.. Parnel
may consider it expedicnt to accede to the
Unionist clamors and to have recourse to the
courts in preference TO accepting the judicial
tribunal proposed by the Government. If he
have irrefutable evidence that his accusers
have been trafiicking in forgeries he may choose
the regular legal tribunals, since there by his
own pleadings he can limit the scope OF the
inquiry TO the letters, whereas the Government
tribunal will be rowing commission unre-
stricted in its scope. His enemies have been
challenging him to do this ever since the Par
nelism and Crime, series appeared. II may

this sound principle, to say nothing OF the
