AssAILING THE COMMISSION.
DUBLIN, November 22.-United Ireland
makesa a furious attack upon the Parnell
commissi zion because OF the heavy fine i'm
posed upon Mr.. Edward Harrington. It
says, whether guilty of contempt or not,it
will not abstain from commenting on the
action OF the judges. 1t then reite the
charges made by the Kerry Sentinel
against the commission and asserts that
the government, whose existence is at
stake, has packed the court.
The examination of witnesses from
County Kerry was nontipued at the sitting
of the Parnell commission to-day. Mr..
Leonard, agent of the estates of the Earl
of Kenmore, said the league was as active
as ever. He disagreed with the statement
of Mr.. Balfour, chief secretary for ireland,
that the league was thing of the past.
In his part of Kerry the fight that the
league was making was at its hottest. The
"plan of campaign" was all powerful.
Formerly writ could be executed by
the sheriff, with the aid of four policemen,
but now 400 soldiers were required. Mem
bers, of the league met every Sunday, after
attending mass, to arrange the weeks
programme of rent assistance and intimi.
dation. Resistance came from well-to-do
people. Until the year 1881 tenants had
been friendly, but after the league was
formed they scoffed at him aud the land
lords. = taFl
On cross examination witness admitted
that in 1880 it was necessary to give ten
ants assistance, as some of them were
blue with hunger. There we're 1000 ten
ants in the Kenmore estates, 200 of whom
were very poor, and had always tried to
pay their rents. Since 1880 Earl Ken
more has expended G17,300 in the inn
provement of his estates. His bill for
labor amounted to $500 weekly.
Only such rent was taken from
poor tenants as they could
afford to give. Witness did not seek to
collect rent from persons blue with hum
ger, and the law was never enforced
against that class.
The court adjourned. The clerk OF the
commission handed to Edward Harrigton
a summons to pay the fine OF $500, which
the court had imposed upon him for con-
tempt. Harrington states that he will not
pay the fine, and intends to question the
right of the commission to enforce IL.

is legal opportunity to defraud and
to abrogate the contracts of the past.
Mr.. Harrison was supported by nearly
all the Republican members of the
Senate, when they saw the honorable
course he had taken. That his record
will do him good instead of harm, is
being proved by the wholesale uprising
for Harrison by the workingmen on the
Pacific coast.

That Chinese Question.

This mornings Gazette contains the
following false and misleading article:
Some one asks us to give Mr.. Harri-
sons Chinese record. We do so with
pleasure. 1t is as follows: While a
United States Senator from Indiana.
he placed himself on record as having
voted fourteen times in the committee
room, in the committee of the whole
and in the open senate against bills re-
stricting Chinese immigration.
1t strikes just as near the truth in
this matter as 1t did when it published
forged letter of ingalls, to Phelps
and declared it to be genuine. The
Gazette knows, if it knows anything,
that Benjamin Harrison's record on
the Chinese question is simply beyond
criticism. When the first Chinese re-
striction act was introduced into the
Senate by Miller, of California, in 1882,
Gen. Harrison, in conjunction with
almost the entire list of Republican
members, voted against it. He then,
believing that the government could
not justly abrogate its treaties, tried to
secure an amendment to the bill in
harmony with the existing treaties
with China. In this he failed and
with all the Republican senators he
voted to sustain President Arthur's
veto of the main bill, their vote being
prompted by the reasons Gen. Harri-
son had first given against supporting
the bill. The Paige bill was soon after
reported from the House and together
with nearly all the other Republicans,
Harrison voted against it. Then July
3, 1884, the supplementary House bill
passed the Senate by vote of 43 to u.
Mr. Harrison was absent from the
chamber on public duty upon the final
vote but he supported it with all his
influence. In regard to his committee
record, the facts are that he was mem
Der of the committee on foreign rela-
tiyes when Senator Fairs bill was
referred to it. Mr.. Harrison aided in
preparing the bill and it was reported
from the committee to the Senate
unanimously, Mr.. Harrison joining in
the report. OF the bill, which was
passed without a division, Mr.. Mitchell, |
of Oregon, said:
81 have no kind of doubt that it is as |
strong bill as could be drawn, and at |
the same time have kept within the
proyi sioHs of our treaty. 1t |
is one of the best bills ever reported by
any committee on the subject"
That is "Mr. Harrison's Chinese
secord'' and we ''give itwith pleasure.
ct is a record of honest dealing, of
sturdy integrity, of determination to
Keep faith with the nations less civil
lied than ourselves. 1t exhibits quail
ties of heart and mind of which a Dem
