sbor+lv begin There is some sharP
criticism against the policy OF hoions

The Parnell Commission has again this week
heen hearing testimony tending to prove direct
connection between the League and crime OCon-
nor's evidence on Tuesday was startling enough
but O,Connor was so shaken by Sir Charles hus-
sclrs oross-examination that it is doubtful how
mnch solid fact has survived. He swore now
ever. that the League had an inner circle, oouno
by oath that he was member OF thls' ana en"
gagged in various expeditions OF Vlolehce' ana lor
these he was paid. Mr.. Timothy harrington
NJ p WAS named BY OConnor rs concerned IN
some Of these transactions Mr.. Harrington, by
counsel and by press. denies everything
Then followed evidence from victims OF OUT

tIated by order of the League for taxing farms

tary of the League for the branch IN county

bulsed by the Judge, and fatty denied everything

was agreed on both sides that Molloy should not

Commission adjourns next week till the middle of
January.
Lord Salisbury's BLACK man" is still earnestly
discussed There is even going to be meeting of
Mr. Naoriiis friends to protest against this insult
Other cases of strong language attract some though
less, attention. Mr. Tanner, NJ. p. is more en-
ergetic than Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Tanner, speaking
of Haggerty, a witness before the Parnel Com
mission observed that no words were strong
enough To describe E" that louise who fed upon the
rotten carcase of landordism." Mr.. Shackleton,
speaking at a League meeting at Dublin declared
il was really an astonishing thing that Alr Balfour
was in the land of the living When they looked
at the millions of men ruined and nsulted by him,
IL was a wonder some men did not lose patience
md do what they all knew might be done. This
seems TO have passed al the time without objec-
ton from the presiding officer, but Mr. Shackle
ton has since apologized. Lord Salisbury also is
reported TO be considering an apology
