HIS RRsIGNATIoy CALLED FOR.
The Pau Mall Gazette says: 1t is Parnelrs
duty to the Irish people, their English allies
his own character and his cause to resign his
leadership. Many Of the Irish bishops and
their English allies are likely to hold the
opinion that Parnell has betrayed the Irish
cause by dragging his own reputation in
the mire. Il would be better for
the unionists, the Gazette says, to have
Parnel remain and tar the whole home rule
party with the dirty brush with which he has
besmirched himself than to have him resign
A wise and honorable man would temporarily
retire and would repair by marriage the false
position in which he has put his partner in his
offense.
The Globe says IL doubts whether the Glad.
stonians will follow Mr.. Gladstone If he further
recognizes Parnell a. the leader Of the Irish
nationalist.
