cabinet Is selected, be the real party in inter-
est. In such cases, contrary 20 all American
ideas of talr dealing, the attorney general
often acts for the party who is on the gov

Webster, opening the case, with the asso-

around hm
Sir Charlie, Russell, leading counsel for the
Irish members, is one of the most suuve Of
gentlemen, and maintains the most cordial
personal relations with the opposing counsel;
but the American reader who notes the sharp
passage, between them in the course of the
examination may incline to consider this
much like the quasi friendly handshake be-
tween two pugilists just before they proceed
10 the serious business of smashing each
others counlenances out of all likeness to
humanity.
As all American readers know, the ques-
tion of home rule for Ireland has reused all
the fury possible between bellgerent Celt
and stubborn Saxon; and it was only natural
that the organization of the Land League and
the attempts of the British authorities in Ire
land To suppress 1t should lead to what is
called "agrarian outrages.' And as there
are always hotneaded and revengeful indi-
viduals, there have been some murders, OF
which the most noted was the assassination
of Cavendsh and Burke in Phoenix Park,
Dublin. Following this The London Times
published a series of articles headed Par
nellism and Crime, charging the response
bility for these murders upon the Parnellites.
Finally, it published alleged letters Of Mr..
Parnel justitying the murders. Messrs.
Parnel and Egan promptly denounced these
letters as torgeries. Hence tine suit-nomi
nally a civil suit, but really an attempt to
determine judicially whether the Irish mem
bers of parliament have been melting to out
rage and murder.
1t is, therefore, trial of the greatest po-
litlcal importance-so important that the
government consented to set aside the regu
lar judicial machinery and have the case
tried by a commission Of eminent judges.
