Irish people.
AS BAD AS BALFoUn
Mr. Sexton said that il Mr. Parnell was
premier Of Ireland and any man dared TO
oppose, that mau would find hinl little
different from AIR. Balfour. IL was inde-

you could not find. Mr.. Parnell had ruined
the American collection, but they wero
willing to intrust the ALLEGATION funds, il
Mr.. Parnell was also willing, 20 some indie
pendent body in Ireland, such as the priests.
The only plssble party with whom Mr..
Parnell could now treat were Secretary Bal
four's followers, who we're waiting to throw
MesSrs. Dillon and O'Bren into prison.

that such course was impossible,
because Mr.. Gladstone. fondly clinging
to the desire of his old age, reta med home
rule in tho forefront OF his programme

anyhow, whether reunion would ever he

national party devoted to progress Ia the
truest sense.
THROWING OF THE LIME.
The Teiegrdphs Kilkenny correspondent
says that paper bag containing slaked
lime or plaster OF paris was deliberately
thrown at MIR. Parnell from distance Of
two yards. 1t was so dark that it was im-
possible to detect the culprit. The whole
