to drag down the home-rule cause in his
own fall by belief in the serious misap-
prehensions of their English friends, of
which the manifesto is full.
THE THUSDERER's COMPLIMENTS.
The Times says: The manifesto shivers
forever the supposition that Mr.. Parnell
can ever again be treated as a trustworthy
friend or an honorable foe. 1t Is probably
the most shameless document English pub
lie life has seen since the days of the revo-
lntion. Rut shameless as it is. IL will not
improbably effect its immediate purpose in
Ireland. and rivet once again the yoke of
an uncrowned king on the necks of the
Irish people. The mutineers in the parlia-
mentary ranks by their own outrageous
breach of confidence hold Gladstone and
Morley up as men desiring to play Ireland
false. All sections of the British people
will share III the hesitation 20 credit Par
nelPs unsupported statements. Never
theless 1t Is impossible to suppose that the
revelations are wholly without foundation.
1t IS impossible to discuss at length this re-
markable document. but we are satisfied to
have exhibited the malignant ability with
which it was conceived and the severity
of the blow inflicted on Mr.. Gladstone's
lmpracticable schemes The Times adds
that it thinks there can be no doubt of Ire
lands answer to the manifesto.
The Chronicle admits that Parnell has
lous manner at Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Nor
ley. The appeal" it says. sis ingeniously
framed TO pursuade Irishmen that they
will lose much and will gain nothing
worth having by dismissin9 him: but it
Will arouse popular indignation. His most
powerful blow Is the revelation of the alb
jeet paralysis of the Gladstonian party
over the land question. and Mr.. Norley's
concession of thclr inability to assist the
sufferers from the Plan of Campaign by
promising to see the evicted tenants ont of
their troubles. Parnell gained his point,
but failed to gauge the situation, which
lies in nutshell. Mr.. Gladstone's
scheme matters little. 1t will be
killed by the manifesto, but the English
people, having seen what manner OF men
the Parnellites are. will never trust them
with the government of Ireland. The
manifesto clearly shows that Mr.. Parnell
is not person with whom any statesman
can venture to hold confidential relations.
Irish ingratitude In politics is proverbial,
but never before was it avowed with such
cod and calculating cynicism."
Commenting on the letter of Archbishop
Walsh. the Chronicle says: This is not
the first time that dIgnitaries of his church
have c0nd0ned the grOssest pr0fligacy in men
of power. We believe that still much is
unknown of Parnell's intrigue We also
believe that if all was known the result

blacker than ever.'
The Standard says that grave and per-
haps fatal blow has been struck at the
prospects of the Home-rule party in Eng
land. 1t adds: THE manifesto is highly
damaging to the credit of Mr. Gladstone and
Mr.. Morley as straightforward statesmen.
No English politician will ever trust Par
nell again, but he has chosen exactly the
right line to win back the fanatical regard
of Irishmen. Never, surely, did champion
battling for life treat his foes with more
lofty disdain."
The Telegraph says: 'It seems to us that
it would require deal of temerity to pre-
dict the failure of this startling attempt of
Parnelfs to play off the Irish constituencies
against the Irish party. Those who SO
confidently reckOned upon his enforced
resignation will receive q certain shock
from the perusal of Archbishop Walsh's let
ter 1t will not be in the least surprising
if Irishmen respond with passionate en-
thusiasm to Parnelps call"
