Secrecy
And Disclosed the Plot Of a
Sordid Conspir-
aey.

veloped a Breach Of
Confidence?
Mr.. Smith Secures Priority
for All Government
Business.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The Post, refer
ring to Mr.. Parnel's manifesto, says:
Never has the veil of secrecy been
more ruthlesslY torn aside. Not sin
gle point of the sOrdid conspiracy has
been omitted from the story Of the home
ule compact, now for the first time
brought to light. The bomb has been
exploded in moment of anger, and
Parnell turns evidence against his fell
low conspirators in order to save his
own political life. The manifesto pro-
claims Parnell's intention to promote
complete separation as fully as did his
famous speech in America. and has rem
dered the prospects for home rule worse
than they have been at any time since
1857
The Daily News says the publlcati on
of the manifesto is the most striking
and astonishing event that the crisis
has yet produced. 1t continues: "Mr.
Parnell so completely ignores the points
at issue that 1t is difficult to understand
the meaning of his manifesto. Itwould
be powerful appeal it it did not rest on
an entire miScOnception--we hesitate to
say complete misrepresentation
the whole circumstances of the case.
We are willing to make large allow
ances for him. To his excited feelings
every mans hand seems against him,
and he sets bis hand against every man.
The lawless conduct, continued for
years, of which he stands guilty has
blinded him to a perception Of moral
distinctions. In the reprobation
see nothing but desire for his deStruc-
ton. yet the Liberal party treated HIM
with every possible consideration. We
Will say nothing of his revelations. A
breach Of confidence, If it has been CON-
mltted, would be but a small part of the
fault which all the English Liberals
Will find with the manifesto. We re-
greet it most for the almost irreparable
injury it intiicts on the Irish cause. 1t
seems to be the last fatal disservice,
which obliterates many, if not all, of his
incompatible Services The article
concludes with appeals to the Irish
clergy and people not to allow Mr.. Par
nell to drag down the Home Rule cause
i'll his own fall by belief In the serious
mnSapprehensionS of their English
friends, of which the manifesto is full.
A Smashing Blow.
The Chronicle admits that Parnell has
dealt smashing blow in a most I'M
scrupulous manner at Mr.. Gladstone
and Mr.. Morley. THE appeal" it says,
us ingeniously framed to persuade Irish
men that they will lose much and gain
nothing worth having by Diminishing
him. but it will arouse popular indigna-
ton. His most powerful blow is the
revelation of the AFFECT paralysis of the
GiadStOnian party over the land ques-
ton and Mr.. Morley's confession of
their inability to assist the sufferers
from the plan of campaign by promiS-
ing to see the evicted tenants out of
their troubles. Parnell gained his point,
but failed to gauge the situation,
which lies in a nutshell. Mr.. Glad
stones scheme matters little. 1t will
be killed by the manifesto, but the Eng
Hsh people, having seen what manner
otmen the ParnelIiteS are, will never
trust them with the government of Ire
land. The manifesto clearly shows that
Mr.. Parnell is not a person with whom
any statesman can venture to hold con-
fidential relations. Irish ingratitude in
politics is proverbial, but never before
was it avowed with such cold and cal
culating cynicism. Commenting on the
letter TO Archbishop Walsh, the Chron-
icle says: 'This is not the first time
that dignitaries Of his church have con-
dOned the grossest profigacy in men of
political power, We believe that still
much is unknown of Parnell's intrigue.
we also believe that if all were known,
the result would be to leave Mr.. Par
nell's character blacker than eyer.''
The Thunderer.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-It is reported tina
MIR. Gladstone will issue counter man
ifesto.
The Times says: The manifesto shiv-
ers forever the supposltion that Mr..
Parnell can ever again be treated as
trustworthy friend or. an honorable foe.
1t is probably the most shameless dOcu-
ment English public life has seen since
the days OF the revolution. But shame
less as it is. it will not improbably effect
its immediate purpose in Ireland and
rivet once again the yoke of an
uncrOwned king on the necks of
the Irish people. The muffin $
in the parliamentary ranks by their out
rageOus breach of confidence hold Glad
stone and Morley up as men desiring to
play Ireland false. All sections of the
British people will share in the hesita-
ton to credit Parnell's unsupported
statements. Nevertheless it is impos-
sible to suppose that the revelations are
wholly without foundation. 1t is i'm
possible to discuss at length this re-
markable document, but we are salts
fed to have exhibited the malignant
ability with which it was conceived, and
the severity of the blow inflicted
on MIR. Gladstone's impracticable
schemes"
The Times adds that it thinks there
can be no doubt of Ireland's answer to
the manifesto.
