LONDON, Dec. l3.-The struggle in Ireland is
exciting all the interest OF q contest between
gladiators. Englishmen dearly love to look on
Mt prize fight. and battle in earnest be-
tween leading Irishmen, is lux
urj that OF late years has been
very rare. Even the strongest OF British home
rulers can hardly witness i. without perhaps an
involuntary chuckle Of satisfaction, Tor the old
adase of ancient antipathies has rot yet been
quite eradicated. Just now the English press,
regardless Of politics, is engaged in the congo
NAL task o. egginy on the combatants and wait
ing for The first blood II all accounts from Ire
land are true they will
NOT HAVE LONG TO WAIT
for blood. as the excitement is turning into
lrenzr and common decency Is forgotten in the
explosion OF long pent-up jealous es and hates.
The bitterest OF the crowd Is Tn.o:hy Hea g..
who has all the heat without the self restra' Mt
and polish which normally characterizes
Parnell. To-day he made a coarse allusion to
Mrs O'shea which nearly drew blow
from one OF Parnel.'s supporters. and his re-
mark that the camnaisn cry of the party ought
to be cuckoo" e.icited protest OF disgust
from the clergvmen who heard it. and who be-
iieve that the battle, however 6ercey fou hit ,
should not include Chinese stinkpots as weap-
ons OF combat. Archbi hop Crocke has en-
joined on the clergy of his diocese to inculcate
cHRIsTIkE SPIRIT OF CHARITY
and moderation, while at the same time
phaticaliv urging tho retirement Of ParneI.
The archbishop hai also refused 20 remove Rev.

notwithstanding this merciless arraignment
by the Natl nal League, .he archbishop has
written to his vicar-general that Father Cantre.l
will re main where he is.
Justin McCarthy's absence from the Kilkenny
struggle is arouslng criticism. He would prob
ably be heard with respect where men like
that he is already disguised with his task. As
it is, he seems utterly unable to control Healy,
who was rescued again by the police yesterday,

and the removal OF the name was more an of

question wrether the council has the right to
efface Parneil's name without his consent. and
an able lawyer has expressed the opinion since

however, lie win probably never wish to act as

Some OF the resolutions which have

days are queer reading. That of

is especially Hibernian. 1t expresses confidence

measure, perfectly open to pursue what course

eral thing me resolutions do not go so far this
one in giving Parnel unrestricted license as to
morals, but others are nearly as peculiar.
