Rights Glorious Triumph.

No statesman ever achieved a grander
triumph; no cause ever had more COM
plete victory than have come to Mr.. PAR
NELL and the great movement OF which he
is the leader. The conspiracy to destroy
Mr.. PARxELL and his associates, and to
discredit the home rule cause before the
world. was plotted with Satanic ingenuity,
and carried out with diaboical skill. The
London Times, the most famous, and once
the most powerful journal in all the world
the chosen mouthpiece OF the privi-
legged classes of the United KingdOm-the
organ of the church and the crown, and
the hereditary aristocracy of the realm
was the most active agent in the conspir-
acy. 1t surrendered its columns freely to
the service of the damnable plot, and in a
series of cleverlv written articles entitled
''Parnellism and Crime" which created a
profound sensation throughout two CONT
nents, 1t attempted to identify Mr.. PAR
NELL and the other home rule leaders with
a series OF dastardly, criminal projects in
the interest of Irish independence. The

skillful use of his materials, by weaving a
web in which direct falsehood was the
warp and innuendo and half-truths the
wool by an droit admixture of suspicion
and inference and conjecture, succeeded
in presenting Mr.. PARNELL and
his fellow-patriOts in the char
acter OF men who, processing
publicly their disapproval OF disorderly
and violent methods were privately con-
niving at them, and conspiring with base
and vile creatures, with whom they pre-
tended TO hold no communication, to
destroy life and property on a whole
sale scale. Upon foundation of falsehood
and SANDER thus prepared, a super
structure OF forgery was reared. The
Times fortified its charges with letters
purporting to have been written by
PARNELL, EGAN and others, of gravely
eliminating character. These publica-
tons produced a profound effect upon
the British mind, and the tories and all
other enemies of the Irish cause were
happy in the belief that it had received

movement in England and in this country
were disquieted. Not that they believed.
for one moment, that the Times charges
were true. On the contrary, their con-
fidence in the integrity and manhood OF
Mr. PARNELL and his colleagues was never
shaken, and their faith in their ultimate
vindication was absolute. But the danger
wac that the vindication would come too
late. The difficulty of disproving the
Times charges in season to counteract the
effect they were obviously producing
where the battle for home was to be
fought, and won or lost, seemed insur-
mountable.
The cables of the last few days have told
how the evidence of the forgeries were
discovered; how suddenly and completely
at the very moment when the prospects
of PARSELL, EGAN and other home rulers
seemed the most desperate, the in
famous conspiracy was laid bare and
these grand leaders of a granl cause
stood before the world in the majesty of
their manhood and integrity, clothed IN
the panoply of uprightness and patriot
ism; how the wretch who played the
chief role in the drama of infamy con-
fessed his villainy and sought refuge first
in fight and then in suicide; how the
proud and once powerful journal which
had prostituted its columns to the service
Of the conspiracy was brought to its knees,
in abject apology to the men it had ira
duced; how the naughty leaders of the
privileged classes who have been heaping
fresh indignities upon the Irish people
under the inspiration of the Times cru
SADIE Of SANDER were covered with morti-
fication and shame.
1t was grand issue of an unholy cam
paign OF fraud and forgers. 1t has al
ready caused a tremendous reaction in
public sentiment throughout Great
Britain. 1t has filed the lovers OF liberty
all over the world with rejoicing, and 1t
has filed the champions OF caste and
privilege and tyranny with dismay. 1t is
one of the most signal victories ever won
by righteousness over the forces Of in
