LONDON, December 10.-The antiParneli
members of the Irish parliamentary party
has issued the promised manifesto to the
Irish people. 1t says: Feeling bound TO
protect our country's cause at whatever per
sonal sacrifice, we found ourselves under
the sad necessity Of terminating Mr.. Par
nelPs leadership. To have left him undis-
turbed would have left every man Of us
traitor to his country. Parnell by maintain
ing his untenable position threatens TO
plunge Ireland into a conflict which may
overwhelm her and cause her present fair
prospects to disappear forever. 1t is the
duty Of every Irishnan, irrespective Of all
consideration and all feelings either for Par
nell or those differing from him. to adopt
course that will tend to save Ireland from
destruction"
The signers Of the manifesto say they will
abide by whatever Judgment Ireland may
pass on the manifesto. They eEumeTate the
charges against Mr.. Parnell and say: HE
must be aware that his personality Obstructs
efforts for freedom and leaves Ireland with
nothing for many years but the
abominable system imposed by the
present government. IL he be reelected
the Tory government will resume the
power of coercion and will receive a new
lease. The struggle for home rule will be
lost to the living generation. The final
question which rests with the Irish nation
Is: Lose all for Parnell, or win without
him. Home rule with Gladstone Is safe"

Tires on Cart Wheels a Lively Local
Issue.

RoCKLAND, December 10.-An ordinance,
to take effect July 1st, was passed last week
by the city council prohibiting, under pen
atty of not less than SO and not more than
So, the hauling of limerick on certain
streets. and establishing the width of tires
on limerick teams at five inches, certain
streets being set apart for the transportation
of limerick. There promises to be consider
able fun over the matter. as there is much
dissensi0n over the change embodied in the
latter part of the ordinance.
The LIMERICK railroad Is gradually re.
placing limerick teams, many of which will
haul but short time longer. To such haul
ers, and to all others in fact, the expense of
equipping each wagon with five inch tires is
necessarily large and at the present time, OBJ
vi0usly, drawback to the owners. Had
this change been enforced years ago, when
many teams were in service, and when there
was no other mode of conveyance, there
would have been no just dissension. Among
the rock haulers there is also a feeling that
other wagons, such as heavily loaded truck
wagons, should have been made subject to
the audience.

D khe Editor OF the Press.

To The Editor OF the Press:
In justice to the people at RockpoTt village
it is but fair TO state that the reports 10 rela-
tI0n TO their position in connection with the
proposed extension to Camden village Uf the
Penobscot Shore Line railroad, and the land
damage claimed. is to say the least very un-
fair and misleading.
II has been stated that ROckport was not
only deficient in Its subscription In aid Of the
road. but that the land damage claimed is
excessive and prohibitory.
These reports were current before the
question of land damage was raised by any
one interested.
The facts are that the people at
R1ckport were doing all in their power 20
aid the road, and had pledged $1,000. which
Is a very much larger amount than has been
pledged at Camden village, taking into cor.
sideration the benefits 10 be received by
