given to Mr.. Parnell at Edinburg during

MIR. Gladstone has an article in the Nine

or as possessed of moral authority
at all. l do not doubt that Mr.. O'Brien
would have eanswered that they regarded il
as an act Of force to which Ireland was

CATION TO conform. There may be imoral-
lty IN miscalculated resistance even TO inn
moral laws, but such resistance is in itself
immoral. The question Is whether wor-

oBRIEN's FIERY SPEECH.
DUBLIN, June 27.-Mr. O'Brien made a
nery speech at Youghal to-day. He said
that II the government was wicked enough
and the landlords insane enough to push
the plantation scheme for vengeance on the
tenants they would find the whole Irish
race ready to struggle against the scheme.
The adoption of sucn a plan was the best
proof that all the former schemes had
failed.
