END IN A RECONCILIATION.

Dublin Papers Think That Consultation
With Archbishop Croke, Mr.. Glad
stone and Mr.. Morley Must Preceae
an Agreement - Timothy Healy
Charged With Making False State
ments.
DUBLIN, Dec. 26-The Express accuses
Timothy Healy of making untrus state
ments, TO put it mildly, about the Kilkenny
election. For instance, the Erpress says
that Mr.. Healy's statement that 400 union
lists voted for Mr.. Scully is untrue.
The newspapers of this city in general
concur in expires sing belief that the inter-
views which are TO take place shortly in
Paris between Messrs. Parnell, O'Brien and
the other Irish leaders will not result in
any compromise agreement which will
allow Mr.. Parnell to retain the leader
ship. These papers ask what Archbishop
Croke would say on the subject, what Mr.,
Gladstone's opinion would be and what
views Mr. Morley would take Of compro-
mise arrangement. They add that these
gentlemen must be consulted before any
terms are decided upon between the church
leaders as to the continuance OF Mr.. Parnell
in power.
THE PEOPLE BLAMED.
DIR. O'Connell, bishop of Raphoe, in let
ter to the Irish Catholic, says he regrets
that the Irish people did not immediately
place the blame upon Mr.. Parnell for his
offense against morality, instead Of "giving
him haudle with which TO ruin ths party
and country"

mond, O'Kelly, Sexton, Kenny and Arthur
| O'Connor The aim of the conference will
be n reunion of the two sections OF the Irish
party based on the temporary retirement OF
| Mr.. Parnell from tho leadership. The
DebGts asserts that Mr.. Parnell will come to
| this city without having made previous
arrangements with Mr. O'Brien for the
meeting; also that Mr.. O'Brien does not OK
pect to discuss his position with Mr.. Parnel
| personally.
sEXToN's OPINION.
| BoULoGNE, Dec. 26.-Thomas Sexton In
| an interview to-day said he considered Mr..
Parneu's insulting reference to his col
leagues an insuperable barrier to his re-
| sumption Of the leadership Of the irish party
| He was quite certain that had Mr.. Parnell
consulted the party In regard to Mr.. Nor
ley's alleged offer of a place every man
would have rejected Indignantly the idea o.
sacrificing in any degree the independence
of the party by an acceptance OF
the offer. Regarding the effect
! Of the possible passage of the lane
| act Mr. Sexton said he thought 1t woulc
render the farmers more independent, ener-
getic and enterprising, but the measure OF
their success might be the measure OF the
laborers' discomfort. In order to meet the
just claims of the latter. Mr. Sexton said ht
looked to an extension of the system OF the
act Of 1888, to be inaugurated by the au
thorizing of boards Of guardians to levy
rates to be used in the construction o.
laborers' cottages.
THE PRESENT PLAN.
At present the boards have to pay pei
cent. and provide q sinking fund on the
money advanced by the treasury. and can
not let houses with half an acre of walled
| garden under I'll or al 3s week, as th'
houses must be built according to a fxeC
specification from Dublin. This and the
expense of inspection would increase thu
price of the house and garden to 4120
which the rental is not sufficient to cover
Mr.. Sexton hopes to change this system anC
get smaller houses built under local super
vision at such reduced cost as to render tn
present rents profitable.
