wild hilarity at the huge rent in the solid
phalanx by which, until recently, they
knew they would be overwhelmed. They
have been patting Parnell on the back, and
they are hopeful at this moment that he
has some more confidential communications
to give the world.
Uneasy Feeling Among To ries.
The only people among the Tories and
Mugwumps who are not altogether happy
are the leaders, who have an uneasy feeling
that Parnell may one day publish some OF
his famous conversations and correspond
ence which he had with them, when each
man thought he would be able to use the
other in his own way and for his own pur-
pose. Parnell certainly has in his possession
some interesting documents bearing Tory
names, the publication of which would
probably rend the political world like an
earthquake. But ParneIl is not likely to
publish any of these at present, as he may
have occasion to use them against the
Tories, in place of the Liberals, whom he
has driven away from him.
Should the present crisis leave him still IN
Parliament, the newspapers, the Liberal
and Tory alike, are proclaiming loudly that
henceforth it will be impossible tor any
British politician to ally himself with Par
nell. This is true enough for the moment;
but should Parnell manage to regain and re-
tain any OF his former influence, he will not
find political virtue unreasonably stern,
especially on the Tory side.
But so far as the Liberals are concerned
there will be no alliance or cooperation
with the Irish party, headed by Parnell,

also given 10 understand that John Morley
and Sir William Harcourt have subscribed
to a similar seif-denying ordinance, which
is certainly in accord with the feeling of the
British Liberal electorate.
Liberal Clubs Repudiate Parnen.
There is scarcely single Liberal club or
association that has not met and repudiated
Parnell, while passing resolutions of enthu-
siastic confidence in and promise OF support
for Gladstc ne. Loud protestations are also
heard of continued devotion to the home
rule cause minus Parnell, and they seem to
be sincere. But, as result of special
inquiries made at the central offices
of the Liberal and Liberal Union
list parties it is said that the divorce scandal,
followed by the unseemly controversies, has
alienated many weakened Liberal voters,
and has scared bdck to the Mugwump camp
thousands of men who had repented of their
mutiny and had persuaded themselves that
Parnell was the moderate constitutionalist
he had always professed himself to be.
The immediate effect in Ireland of the
disruption OF the Parliamentary party and
of the political bIood-lettIng which must
soon follow, will, in the opinion of compe-
tent observers, be the early collapse of the
plan of campaign. The constant and strong
est argument used by the leaders of that
movement, whenever the tenants showed
signs of weakness in the wearisome struggle,
was that the success of home rule at the next
general election was assured, and that Glad
stones accession to power would quickly be
followed by their restoration to the farms
from which they had been or were about to
be eycted.
Dillon and O'Brien Wanted.
To all appearance this hope must now be
abandoned, and the natural impulse of these
poor people will be to make the best terms
possible with their landlords The two men
whose influence might avert this panic
movement, Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon, are
awav from the scene of operations, and even
if they could get back in time to be of
anv use they would be sent to Jail as
soon as they touched Irish soil, to serve a
term of six months Imprisonment each,
passed upon them recently by d packed
coercion court at Clonmel: The plan OF
campaign leaders fear that the recent disas-
trous events will cause to dry up the stream
Of American generosity, and it is difficult to
say where money may be obtained to carry
on the agrarian fight as we'll as the civil
war. asH
Mr.. Labouchere, who knows National
League affairs as well as any man, says that
the League funds, which at present amount
to about 500, 600, are deposited in bank at

of his leading colleagues. Neither can the
latter draw out a single penny without the
formal consent of ParnelL Therefore, it is
more than probable that the League funds
will be locked up indefinitely. One of the
first decisions which the leaders of the Irish
party in America will have to take is In re-
gard to the disposal of all moneys which
may be subscribed in the United States.
