should be delivered. When the
Times published the letters, Mr.. Parnell
contented himself with asserting in parlia-
ment that the signatures were forged.
Many of his English allies would have pre-
ferred that he should take the usual steps
to defend his character in a court OF law,
but hope of complete vindication was soon
given up, and the English Parnellites
making the best of bad bargain, loudly
applauded conduct which would have
ruined the reputation of any English poll
tician. For over year he has resisted
pressing and repeated invitations to enter
the witness box. He and his friends can
not reasonably complain if the public,
rightly or wrongly, draws it own conclu-
sions.
The Standard says; "It Is not an ex-
parte profession of innocence that the pub
lie demands, but demonstration of the
talsity of the charges II Mr., Parnell
shrinks from one tribunal competent TO sift
and weigh all that can be said for or against
him, he cannot wonder il the existing
