LONDON, Dec. 27.-The election in North Kill
kenny is evidently not to pass without severe
contest, and the leading men of both great
English parties seem to be in doubt as to how
the contest may result. Vincent Scully, Par
nells defeated candidate, has been active ever
since election day gathering facts
to the clerical pressure used in
behaI, of Hennessy and he is re-
ported saying that the evidence when
presented will astonish parliament and the
British public. He claims to have proof that
even the confessional was use for the rpose
of coercing penitents into su port of Hennessy,
that the maledictions OF the church were held
out as menace to the ignorant peasantry. and
that in one instance al least priest used per-
sonal violence toward parishioner who dared
speak q word for Parnell. These matters will
seem mucn more serious to the British people
than they do in Ireland, where a parish priest is
looked on ami obeyet as the caretaker, not only
of the consciences. but of the

GLADSTONE FRUSTRATED.

sires not to be the object of any special and
wearisome demonstration. Age is making

on him worse than advancing years.
merely who paid visit to Gladstone since the
ments privately that cause no little anxiety i'll
liberal circles; not that Gladstone is actually
i'll, but that he IS dazed and overcome by the
terrible spec: aclG OF Irish disunion and strife,
and that while still! devoted as ever to the
home rule he sees that obstacles have been raised
that only the utmos, curage and determination
can surmount. AS for the Tories they per-
haps pardonably merciless in the taunts which
they are continually hinging at the grant old
man on the Irish question they are especially
careful to maze prominent the risks
incurred by the constabulary in keep
ing the Irish factions from eating each
up and to paint in Vivid eol05s

kenny platforms.
Gladstone may have to reply to these taunts,
but Mr.. Burt. the English Liberal member of
parliament. who feels them deeply il
aimed at himself. says il will be diff cult task
to frame an effective answer.
BOOTH DENOUNCED.
Just now the attention heret ofore devoted to
Ireland is secretly shared by the attack on Gen.
Booth and his scheme for the social enlighten
ing of Darkest Eng;and.'' The real motive
for the attack is that the Church OF England has
a scheme OF Its oEn not very different
from that of the general, and is anxious
to prevent the charitable wealthy from giving
all their money to the sslya,Ion commander.
The church indeed claims TO be six months ahead
lleving the destitute and raising them
to useful citizenship. It is asserted
that Booths scheme. although as vet
London tramps and all sorts of worthless
characters from all parts of England: that the
roads leading to the metropolis are swaslning
with Migrants anxious 10 enjoy Booths hospi-
tally, and then the class thus attracted con-
sistS rather OF those who will not work under
ing for honest employment. What. however, is
looked upon by many as much more alarming is
THE IMPRESSION WIDELY SPREAD
that there practically no other methods for
the relief of The miserable and destitute except
that proposed BIZ Booth. The consequence is
that the income Of several most excellent and
published, and the neritorious poor here
totore aided by them in danger
of serious privation. These societies are
now aroused to the possibility that their exise-
ence and work are threatened by the Salvation
Army scheme and making appeals to the
public not to cease their contributions ac-
count Of it. 1t Is not generally known that
Gen. Boo,h is banker IS well as
preacher and commander of the Sal
hation Army. He issues Salvation
Army bonds secured by first mortgage
on the property OF the Salvation Army
ana offer The high interest for Great Britain OF
AZ per cent. The object of issuing these bonds
is said to be ''fair interest, sound security and
the extension of the kingdom of Jesus Christ +"
Some curiosi y is expressed As to the nature
OF the investment that justi6es such a rate OF
interest. II is also charged that the general
lives in luxury while his subordinate officers are
often driven to beg. Such in brief is the attack
on the Salvation Army leader ushered in by the J
article in to-day's Times.
