Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1890-12-11

The anti-Parnen members OF the Irish parlia-
mentary party have issued their promised man.
ifesto to the Irish people. In this they say:
Feeling bound to protect our country's
cause, at whatever personal sacrifice. we found
ourselves under the sad necessity Of terminating
Mr.. Painelrs leadership. 1t would have been
easier to have left him undisturbed, but such a
course would have left every man of US a
traitor to his country. Mr. ParneIl. disregard
ing our appeals to remember the country,
evinced an ill-judged determination TO maintain
his untenable position. thus threatening 20
plunge Ireland into a conflict which may over
whelm her and cause her present fair prospects
To disappear forever. Ii Is the duty of lrishmen
now. irrespective of all consideration of feel
ings. either for Mr.. Parnel or those differing
from him. TO adopt a course that viii tend 10
save Ireland from destruction"
After detailing various reasons for their
action the signers of the manifesto add that
whatever Judgment Ireland may pass on the
manifesto her cause hangs on the issue and the
signers will abide by that Judgment they being
the nation servants.
CHARGES AGAINST PARNEII-
They enumerate the charges against Mr. Par
nell as follows:
First. He speaks as If he has been the injured
party. whereas he alone is responsible for the
present &c plorable situation.
Second. He pledged himself TO repel the
charges in connection with the 0'Shea case. bat
when the time came to do this nc remained
silent.
Third. He does no. hesitate to renounce and
denounce the multitudes of English friends Of
Irish liberty as English wolves
Fourth. But the English wolves and the
irish bishops express the same opinion of Mr..
Parnell, and he cannot mend matters by calling
nicknames.
Fifth. The reminder of the Leinster re-
election was the NEST unSererous taunt ever
uttered. The effort to sustain Mr.. Parncll
without playing ireland false is made a cause
OF attack, whereas il ought to be a vindication.
The signers' position before Ireland is dwelt
upon at length. They set forth that MIR. Par
nell reelection was due to gratitude for past
services ana his deposition TO the fact that If he
continued as leader the struggle might rs well
have been abandoned.
The manifesto saws: "He Olr parnelD must
be aware that his personality obstructs efforts
for freedom, and leaves Ireland with nothing
for many Years but the abominable system i'm
posed by the present government. II NJ is re-
elected the tory government will resume power.
coercion receive a new lease and the struggle
for home rule be lost TO the living generation.
The final question which rests with the Irish
nation il. Lose all for Parnell or win all With
out him.. Home rule with Gladstone is safe"
The signers say they refuse to abandon Mr..
Gladstone for MIR. parncil or TO insist on the
liberal leader revealing his plans for home
rule. which action they say would be fooli~hly
to give an advantage to ireland's foes. The
signers refuse to believe THAI MIR. Gladstone
desired TO dictate. He was bound to publish
his conviction that the retention Of Mr. parnell
IN the leadership of the Irish party would wreck
home rule. Why should man Of eiSh;y-one
waste the brief remnant OF his life in struggle
foredoomed TO failure?
PARNELLs OPPORTUNITY.
no
nifty of temporary retirement with a view to
his eventual reinstatement. but it never gave
the faintest chance of a settlement. His fatal
manifesto was an appeal to the hatred between
the peoples of Great Britain and Ireland and
makes it impossible for him hereafter to CO.
operate with the liberal party. The signers
never deserted Mr.. Parnell but he them, and
the honor of Ireland is safe in their hands
through good or evil fortune.
The sSners of the manifesto pledge them
selves to remain an independent party. thus in
surfing final victory for the Irish cause under
the auspices OF the alliance of the British
democracy and the Irish people.
The manifesto concludes thus:
"Iellow Conference.-The issue we submit
to you is one upon which the fortunes of our
country must depend. May God defend the
right
There are forty-seven signatures attached to
the manifesto, headed by that of Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy.
