THOMAS sEXToH's VIEWS.
BoULoGNE, December 9th. = Thomas
Sexton. in an interview, said be considered
Parnelrs insulting references to his col
league an insuperable barrier to his re-
sumption of the leadership of the Irish
parry. He was quite certain that had Par
neil consulted his party in regard 10 Nor
ley's alleged offer OF place every man would
have rejected Indignantly the idea Of sacri-
iieing in any degree the independence of
the party by the acceptance OF the offer.
Regarding the effect Of the possible passage
of the Land Act, Sexton says he thought it
would render farmers more Independent,
energetic and enterprising But the meas
ure of their success might be the nealure
OF the laboTers' discomfort.
In order to meet the just claims OF the
latter Sexton said he looked to the extern
sion Of the system of the Act of 1888 to
he inauguratel by the authorities. The
Boards of Guardians levy rates 10 be used
IN the construction of laborers' cottages
and at present the Boards have to pay
per cent. interest and provide sinking
fund on the money advanced by the treas
ury and clnnot let .houses with half an
acre of walled garden under FL CT 81 81
weekly, as the houses must be built accord
ing to fixed specifications from Dublin.
This and the expense Of inspection would
increase the price of house and garden to
fl20, which rental is not sufficient to
cover. Sexton hopes to change this sys.
tenn and get smaller houses built under
local supervisor at such reduced cost es to
render the present rates profitable.
The Ners says: As Sexton is supposed
to be less decided in his opposition 10 Par
nell and more inclined toward compro-
mise than many of his political friends,
his frank and clear declaration is important
and valuable.
