direct negative to the first reading Of similar BILL
yesterday.
Time went on, tho Government allowed their A.
tcntion to be distracted from the question Of lano
purchase by a bill compromising English pubncans'
ana the agrarian difficulty in Ireland was again roll
Yated to the future Of another session.
Mr. MoRLEY's OFFER TO PARNELL.
Just before the commencement Of this session,
was again favored with another interview with Mr..
Morley. I impressed upon him the policy Oh @a
obliaue method Of procedure with reference 70 iaho
purchase and the necessity and Importance Oh ptosu
Ing for the question OF iocM vo"" y,
ana Of limitation in the application OF
funds He agreed with me and offered
10 move on the first reading of the bill an amendments
in favor of this local control, advising that uis
wore rejected IL might be left to the Radicals on the
second reading to oppose the principle OF the measure
This appeared to be q proper course ana ie1t Mr.
Morley under the impression that thls "ouo iai "
nv duty, but In addition ne made me remarkable
proposal. Referring to the probable approaching
victory of the Liberal party at the polls he suggested
some considerations to the future OF the Irish party
and he asked me whether 1 would be willing to as
sumo the Office Of Chief Secretary for ireland, or
whether / would allow another member OF my
party to take the Office He also put beiore
me the desirabty Of filing one Of the law offices OF
the Crown in ireland By q legal member OF my party
I told him, amazed as was az the proposal, that
could not agree TO forfeit in any way tile independence
Of the party any Of its members; that the irish
people had trusted In this movement because
they believed that the declaration had made 70
them at Cork In 1880 was true and represented
my conviction and that wonld on no account de-
part frvn it. considered that after
the declaration We lad repeatedly made
the proposai OF Mr.. Morley that We should
allow ourselves 10 be absorbed into English politics was
one based upon entire misconcepon Of our position
with regard to Irish constituencies and OF the
pledges we had given.
In conclusion no directed nv attention to the Plan Of
Campaign estates He said that 1t would be impossible
for the Liberal party when IL attained power to 90
anything for these evicted tenants by direct acuoh'
and that it would also he impossible for the lrish
Parliament under the powers conferred 10 DO any thhg
for them, and, Ainging up his hands with gesture
o. despair, lie exclaimed:
"Having been in Tpperary, do not know what
to propose in regard 10 the matter"
told him this question limited one; that
i did not see that he need allow himself to be ham,
pered by It's future consideration that funds would
be available from America and elsewhere for the sup
port Of those tenants long might be necessary;
that OF course l understood that 1t was
difficulty but that 1t limited one
and should not be allowed to interfere with the gen
ersl interests of the country. alude to this matter
only because within the last few days strong argu-
ment In many minds for my expulsion has been that
unless the Liberals into power at the next gen.
eral election the Plan Of Campaign tenants will suffer-
As Izve shown the Liberals to do nothing for
the Plan OF Campaign tenants by direct action when
they come into power but am entitled to ask that
the existence Of these tenants whom have supported
in every way in the past and whom shall continue
to support in the future. shall not con-
stitute . reason for my expulsion from
Irish politics have repeatedly pledged
myself to stand by these evcted tenents and that they
shall not be allowed to suffer, and believe that the
Irish people, throughout the world will support me In
This policy.
Sixteen years ago conceived the idea Of an Irish
Parliamentary party, Independent of all English
parties. Ten years ago was elected leader OF the
Independent Irish Parliamentary party During these
ten years this party has remained independent. and
because OF independence it has forced upon this
English before the necessity Of granting Home Rule
to Ireland believe that the party will obtain Home
Ruleonly provided that it remains Independent of any
English party.
SUGGESTION TO POSTPONE HOME RULE.
do not believe that any action Of the Irish people
in supporting the will endanger the Home Rule cause
postpone the establishment Of Irish Parliament
But II the danger with which we are threatened
by the Liberal party OF to-day were to be realized,
believe that the Irish people throughout the world
agree with me that postpOnement would be preferable
to a compromise Of National rights by the
ceptance Of q measure which would not realize the
aspirations OF our race.
/ have the honor to remain, your faithful servant,
CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.
