Tho crisis Of this unprecedented prosecu-
zion has NOW been reached Those letters,
1,bicb were published in the nick of time to
facilitate the passage Of the Crimes Act, have
been traced from one credulous and min-
ouisitiye dune to another into Pigotts hands.
How did he obtain them? The story, as tele-
cranhod bv our accomplished London CORE
snondont seems almost incredible. The scene

,,,,sto,ious accomplices deliver the black bag
and take the money after requiring an oath
that the names and circumstances shall never

The performance was re-enacted as often as
Mr. Uouston and his Unionist bankers had
money to fling away in the dark, and always
with tho low-comedy variations OF the cheap
restaurant. the black bag and the oath to Sc
crocv This then, is the origin of the Par
relism and Crime disclosures on the strength
Of which Coercion was justified and the Union
ist coalition maintained. PigOtt stands I'M
masked as a traflcker who was willing to take
his goods into any market. He sold his letters
to MIR. Houston and "The London Times"
and then undertook to sell them over again to
Archbishop Walsh and Mr.. Parnell. With his
talent for Partisan masquerade, his genius for
driving double bargains, and his constitutional
habit of betraying every one who trusted in
his mild and benevolent face, he is a character
not often found outside Molierc's comedies.
Yet this fantastic creature has been apparently
the sole authority for the monstrous libels
against the Irish leaders.

PARLTlMENT IND PTGOTT

Parliament has reassembled without an audi
ence. Public attention in England is engrossed
with the proceedings Of the Parnel Commits
sion. The Queens Speech is read to empty
benches while Pigott's revelations and con-
LESSONS are the talk of all London. The
passage Of two great measures at the last
session, the Local Government bill and the
measures for the refundng OF the National
debt, has relieved the Government from the
necessity Of proposing new legislation of magni-
tude. The present Parliament has disposed of
several questions of the greatest importance,
and it can now ENJOY a period of relaxation
and leisure. The Queens Speech announces a
number Of measures of restricted utility and
narrow scope. 1t betokens quiet uneventful
session. A preliminary bill extending to Scot
land the privileges Of local government re-
Gently conferred upon England is the most i'm
portant legislative proposal, and even this is
described as preparatory or tentative meas
ure. The Ministry, intrenched in the strong
holds OF power and supported by compact
and wel-disciplined majority, wisely remains
on the defensive, and refrains from provoking
attack from the Opposition. These are adroit
tactics by which burning questions and chal-
the Home Rule cause blocked But, unfort
unately for the Government nobody in Eng
land is now concerned with the proceedings at
Westminster. 1t is not Lord Salisbury, the
Prime Minister but Pigott, the informer, who
is weighted with the fortunes of the Unionist
coalition.
Lest this may seem too sweeping q state.
mont. we recall the circumstances in which
the Parneil letters were published. Mr. Glad
stone, when he appealed to the country in the
last general elections. declared that the choice
lay between Coercion and Home Rule. The
Unionists would not admit during the canvass
that it was what the logicans would term
case of excluded middle, but insisted that il
was possible to govern Ireland without CO.
ercion AS soon as they were in power they
had recourse to coercion, and "The London
Times" with its Parnellism and Crime,
series and discriminating letters, sought to
justify their course. The letters were pub
lished on the eve of critical divisions over the
Crimes bill, and were largely instrumental in
effecting its passage. The Government was
aided by the chief Unionist journal in that
emergency; and when Mr.. Parnell demanded

Superintendent Andrews testified at grea1
length yesterday before Mr. Ainsworth's com
raistee. and it must be confessed that ne did not
succeed in exculpating himself. He claimed
that papier-mache was considered by him at an
early stage of the ceiling matter as a desirable
material. As to the changes in the plan oil the
ceiling he could only say that they were made
without authority from the committee or any
body else, with the purpose OF improving the
appearance of the room. Where PAPER macne
was substituted for the carved oak expressly
called for by the specifications he had no ex-
planation at all to offer. There were also
damaging admissions in regard to Mr.. An

the case now stands, the reasons for the re
moval of the Superintendent are more pressing
than ever.
