THE SUPPRESSED UNITED IRELAND"
The Suppressed United ireland, the paper
issued by the McCarthyites. appeared TO-
day. 1t contains letter from Archbishop
Walsh supporting the opponents of Parnell.
He urges Mccarthy to keep his pledge 10
sit and vote with the party always in front.
" 1t will be your best argument in the long
run, and you will find yourself safe in max
Ing your stand on it alone. The discredita-
bic device of calling members to account for
standing by their party, instead of by Par
nell has been resorted to not without tenn
porary success, but every one knows the
assertion that their pledge was to an indi-
vidual leader is grossly untrue. Calumny
hae been favorite weapon in the hands of
our enemies" The new paper displays
pugnaciouS headings, such as: " Parnellite
Cowards," A Freeman's Journals False
hood" "ParnelIite Opinion Manufactured"
etc. The paper had large sale.
PARNELL's CAUSE is LOST.
LONDON. Dec 15.-The Daily News cor
respondent at Kilkenny declares his belief
that ParnelPs cause is lost. Speaking of
the Rathdowney meeting to-day, he says
that 1000 persons attended Davitts meet
ing, while only a few hundred listened to
Parnell. An allusion to the Freeman's Jour-
nal in Tanners speech called forth the
shout, "To blazes with it." Tanner there
upon burned copy of the paper. Davitt, in
his speech, said: "Parnell has fed, as he will
fec from Kilkenny next Monday, but will
meet him face 10 face before this contest is
over and ask him to repeat that the Arch
bishop, Bishops, priests and Sexton, O'Brien
and Dillon are the scum of the earth. This
is the Parnell who did not hesitate to accept
100000 from the "scum of Ireland" At
the conclusion Of the meeting the farmers
dragged a wagon with Davitt and others on
it through the village in triumph.
FUND FOR EvICTED TENANTS.
New YORK, Dec. ia circular letter
has been issued by the Irish delegates to the
treasurers of funds at all points where they
have spoken. Before they left Ireland
clear understanding was arrived at that the
funds collected in America should be used
for the support Of evicted tenants. Joseph
l.. Kenny and Alfred Webb, who were ap-
pointed treasurers of the fund, have taken
opposite sides in the present controversy,
but in every case the delegates Say they are
quite confident that the money, If sent to
them, will be honorably applied to the pur-
poses for which it was subscribed. They,
therefore. earnestly request that any funds
In hand be Immediately forwarded to Dub
lin, payable to the Joint order of DR.. Joseph
Z. Kenny and Alfred Webb.
DILLoN's LETTER TO THE PRESS.
John Dillon has issued a lengthy letter to
the press as to the more recent events in Ire
land. He says he has been from the first
9tr0nulV nnnnSpd na Iu fin iuo
attacks on ParDell, although it must be ad-
mitted that the cruelty unjust charges he
has leveled against members of his party
and the extraordinary violence of the
methods m, by which he has sought to suppress
all expression of opinion hostile to himself,
renders 1t very difficult for his opponents to
maintain an attitude of moderation. Dillon
deprecates In strong terms some of the Ian
guage which has been used in Ireland on
both sides during the past few days.
THE ATTACK ON GLADSTONE.
Referring again to the attacks on Glad
there is not shadow of foundation for the
charges made against them. "Charges
which would never have been imagined,
much less uttered" says he, ''but for the
OShea divorce case and Gladstone letter."
Dillon says his reliance on a salts
factory character of Home Rule bill
has always been based, not on the
pledges-of any English statesman, but on
the honesty and independence of the Irish
party and. above all, on the unity of the ma
tional feeling of the Irish race. He still has
hopes that the conference between O'Brien
and Parnell may result in restoring unity,
but, in the meantime, Farnell has
PLUNGED IRELAND INTO A CONFLICT
Which wrings the heart of every Irishman
with pain and humiliation. and he mas done
this for purely personal ends. Dillon feels
bound to say that since he commenced his

and done acts that are revolving to
every free-b0rn man, and if he iDillon)
could meet Parnell in Ireland he should tell
him that unless he very much altered his
course he was no fit leader for nation as
piring to be free. Dillon, in closing, strong
ly appeals to the people in Ireland, NOT.
withstanding their provocation, not to for
get the respect due Parnell for his past
mighty work.
HEALY's STATEMENTS.

Is no doubt that Healy and Biggar knew
more about ParnelPs laison with Mrs.
OShea at the time than anybody else In the
Irish party. Now Healy is exposing it bit

two flat-fo0ied accusations.
First, that Mrs. O'Shea drained Parnell's
purse Of money which should have been de-
voted to the cause of Ireland; second, that

were searching everywhere for Parnell. Mrs.
OShea deliberately kept him in hiding,
and then lied to the Irish members when
