WILL THERE BE WAR?

The correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and Lord Salisbury on the Beh-
ring Sea fisheries has ceased. The ne
go,iations tending to an honorable set
tlemeut OF the question have been aban-
doned for the present, in consequence OF
the unsatisfactory arbitration offered by
G,ea,B,itain, which cannot be accepted

other defensive appliances would be
brought into requisition and British
ironclads would be blown sky-high out
of the waters. The United States should
get ready at once to meet the British

of long rapg, guns for the protection OF
the sea port lowas. The President will

following story of Russian nihilists
= At one time the entire police force Of
st. Petersburg was searching for Step

Of wealthy Russian lady who was in
s> sympathy with the revolutlonists. This
Russian lady had occasion to visit one
Of the large prisons for the purpose Of
calling on suspect with whom she was
acquainted. Slepniak remained at the
gate of the prison, where he passed the
time chatting with the soldiers on
guard. and telling Them stories in the
peasant dialect. which he knew so well
how to assume. Being very tired, hav-
ing been out all the prev GUS night at
tending secret meeting of the revoiu<
tionists, Stepniak seated himself on
bench between two soldiers, VINO were
Just then off DUTY, and soon fell asleep.
When the lady came out of the prison
she bebeld her servant, who was in re-
atty the most noted revolutlonist in all
Russia, and for whom the police were
then securing the city, fast asleep be-
tween two gendarmes, with his head
resting peacefully on one of their shout
ders. The lady awakened her servant
and they returned to her mansion with

THE KILKENNY CONFLICT,

The Kilkenny election closed last
Monday and resulted, as we predicted,
in glorious victory for John Pope
Hennessy, the nominee of the MCCARTHY
party. Since ''Stuart's Election" IN
Waterford county in the d .ys of O'Con-
nell there has not occurred in Ireland
q more bitter political contest than that
waged in Kilkenny last week, Men OF
world wldereputation, who have devoted
the best years of their life to the cause
of their country, and whose names will
be venerated by generations vet unborn,
participated on opposite sides in the
exciting contest, and the result was
awaited with anxiety not only in the
British islands but throughout both
hemi-pheres. ND. &
A great and momentous issue was al
stake whether or not the Kilkenny
district, with its 800 voters, would
sustain the action OF Mr.. Parnell in re-
pudlatlng Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal
party who had promised Home Rule 10
Ireland. After the electors had heard
both sectionsso the Irish party urge
their claims. they cast their bal ots ID
the proportion off nearly two to one ffor
maintaining the alliance with the Grand
Old Man. The. Tories and 9 consider

blow for Parnell and one from which be
will scarcely recover. He attributes his
defeat to the energetic canvass OF the
priests. and his candidate, Vlncent
Scully, has fled petition praying that
a certificate of election be not granted to

ate voters by the clergy.
The victory achieved by the MCCARTHY
party in this election will increase their
prestige, and strengthen the cause Of
Home Rnle across the channel. Glad
stone mnst feel elated over the result,
and he will be encouraged to adhere to
his Irish policy after such vote Of con-.
fidence in his honesty Of purpose and
give Ireland an adequate measure OF
self government. despite the Parnell
manifesto, What happened in Kilkenny
would probably happen in every rural
district of Ireland tomorrow, and the
electors of the cities and boroughs would
be apt to follow suit. The cheers and
clamor for Parnell by the mobs of Duo.
lin and Cork and other cities do not in
dictate his strength or popularity in All
electoral contest. A large proportion of
the residents in the cities do not exer-
else the franchise, and the non-voters
are generally the most noisy and dis.
orderly in campaign. Though Par
nell has said that he will not accept the
Kilkenny decision as final and that in
the beginning of the new year he will
test his strength in other constituencies.
yet we think he will change tbs mind
after the interview with VIM. O Brien in
France and retire from the leadership Of
the minority party. If he had retired at
first he would stand higher in the esti-
nation of the world. Ireland will never
again recognize him as her standard
bearer, aud the sooner he recognizes
that fact the better for himself and his
country. If he continues IN his stub
born course and perpetuates dissens,on,
Ireland in national congress assembled
should pronounce judgment upon HIM.
The cause Of Ireland is paramount DO
the cause of Parnel!, and retire be must,
il the Irish at home know their duty,
and we believe they do.
The irish people should request their
representatives who have cast their lot
with Psmnell to abandon him imme-
dlately and accept MCCARTHY as their
leader. Those who cannot honorably do
that should vacate their seats and allow
others who can to occupy them. In
this way peace would reign once more
in the parliamentary ranks. and the
Irish Nationalist under Mr.. Mccarthy
and the Liberals under Gladstone could
labor tremendously together for their
mutual interests until their work is
accomplished and Home kule IS won.

ParnelI had withdrawn from its DIRECTOR

'Bien declared that Mr.. Parnen and
The party that accompanied him had no

aud that he himself had built it up and
conducted it through three Derolon acts.
VIII 81 Parneu was asked concerning the
paper before the Times commission he
testified that it was always under the
control of VIM. O'Brien. aud when fur
Their asked if O. Brien was paid a salary
as editor he answered that the league
never paid his alary. that it was paid
out OF the profits of the paper and that
ms salary was often much more cone oic-
uous by it's absence It has been stated
that Parnell owns 900 shares OF tue capt
tai stock, Patrick Egan 237, Dr.. Kenny
and Timothy Harrington 10 shares each
and justin Mccarthy, Michael Davitt
and VIM. O'Brien few shares, while

mp received Patrick Egan's shares, aud

World says thatit is the property OF no
man, the paper having been purchased
for the National party with money taken
from the funds of the land league. Il
goes on to say that Parnell never invest
ed farthing in 1t. never wrote an aru'
ole for 1t and meyer got subscriber for
1t. The paper was chartered IN the
names of some men as directors, one OF
them being Patrick Egan, who, when
appointed United States Minister to
Chill, transferred his shares, through the
editor of the Irish World, to Michael
Davltt. Mr.. Parnell is not only not pro-
prletor, or part proprietor, but he has
not been for years ON the board of direc-
ors OF the paper. Parnell's seizure, &C
cord,ng to high authority, is entirely H.
legal. and nothing short of usurpation.
His breaking into the Office was high
handed proceeding which will ip]ure him
and the minority party which upholds
him in the eyes of the civil lad world.

WHO OWNS UNITED IRELAND?

Inc Dest aQvert11eu newspaper IN the
world, during the past two weeks, has
been ''United Ireland the org 40 of che
Irish parliamentary party. Uut1l the
breach in the ParneIlite ranks 1t was the
true exponent of Irish aspirations for
self. government and breathed the spirit
of Irish nationality.
The last copy that came to our ofdoeis
wonderfully changed. Instead of being
the organ of united party it is the
mouthpiece of faction. The cartoon
entitled '.Under Winch Flag shows
that dissensions have arisen, one of tie
flags being marked ''For Parpe'l' and
the other ''For ireland and L berty."
There is evidently one thing upon
which the Irish parliamentarians agree,
and that is the power of the press in
moulding public opinion. The number
OF ''Uuited Ireland" just received was
edited by Mr.. B 'dkin under lnstruc
tions from VIM. O'Brien. AS soon as
ParneIl arrived in Dublin from West
Minister he proceeded to the "Uuited
Ireland Office aud by oh Ysical force and
without due process of law elected Mr.
Bodkin and his staff. took possession Of
the paper, and installed Mr.. Leamy to
run it in his own personal interest. The
elected party returned reinforced by the
friends of William U'Brien and drove
the intruders from the premises. Par
nell again appeared with crowbar iu
hand, forced an entrance, and ouce more

figured in one of 1rollope's novels of

taken up by Lord Rosse Of astronomic
fame, and through his influence was
elected as the Tory Catholic Nationalist
member for Kings County twenty five
years after he was born at Bal)yhennery
in County K,rry. He announced him

proved a brilliant debater and dn excel

he carried a report in favor Of civil. ser:

also against the advice of Lord Sails

tanned prominence also as an advocate
of the independence of Poland and az

Nor did he neglect the democracy. He
carried bill through Parliament for
the better protection of miners, for

useful measures. Hs was too radical
