NOT THE SOLE AFFAIR OF ERIN.
The Labor World holds that those who
argue that control of the Irish party is the
'ole affair Of the Irish people, and that moth
ng will be involved or jeopaidized il they
10 not repudiate Mr.. ParHell's leadership,
lnconsciously play into the hands OF the
,nemies Of home rule. Others, with sur
passing extraordinary ignorance Of the
necessities Of the political crisis and with
Hild extravagance of blind zeal, say that
Mr.. Parnell, as Protestant, is noG morally
to tho Catholics. Those who
advance the latter argument are shaking
.he very undation upon which home rule
stands in England.
A SMALL SACRIFICE.
The paper adds: "Mr Parnell is asked to
make q small sacrifice In return for the soc
'itlces that conflding and generous people
have made for him. He must not consider
his own political future in this crisis, but
what is the best course t. adopt in the in-

own party, when in 1886, in
The presence of another serious

WANT TO KEEP THEIR LEADER.
DUBLIN, Nov. 20.--United Ireland saws:
'Ireland's character for morality willinten.
sify the scorn of the people for those omit
ing hypocrites who think that publicity is
the essence Of sin. Now is the time to re-
pay Mr.. Parnell for his public services. In
reply to affected purists and Pharisees, we
say, We have our leader and mean to keep
him."
The Irish Catholic says Mr.. Parnell has
sinned nearly as much against Ireland as
against morality, but grave political
exigency demands that he continue to be
the leader Of his party.
SURPRISE IN STORE.
The Freemca'S Journal, In its issue to-
day. hints that the government is consider
ing a surprise to be sprung upon the people

the attitude Of Mr.. Stead in regard to Mr.
Parnell, says that he is raging lion seek
ing to devour any one who disputes his
that Mr.. Parnell ought to be
driven into eternal darkness. Mr, Stead
the Journal says, has called a meeting of
the vigilance associations to consider
whether Mr.. Parnell is fit leader of the
Irish nationalists. In regard to the Pail
Mall GdzetteS skepticisn, the Journals
London correspondent asserts that he has
received Mr. Parnell's personal declaration
that he does not intend to resign his leader
ship. The whole Irish party, the Journal
declares, stands solid phalanx at Mr.. Par
nelPs back.
PARNELL AGREES TO LEAD.
Mr.. Parnell has sent to several Of his
colleagues communication TO the effect
that as long as he is supported by his col
leagues and the Irish people he will remain
at the helm in politics. He says that he has
never sought either office or reward of any
kind from any English party. and he does
not seek their assistance The Irish people,
not English politicians, must decide the
question Of the leadership of the
Nationalist party. AT the present
critical juncture he would be
false to his duty to ireland IL he should
desert his position because Of private mat
ters with which politics have no concern.
