member Of Parliament for South Sligo,
| presided. He made IN address in which,
referring to the report3 of the withdrawal
| Of ParDell from the leadership Of the
Nationalist party, he said that Parnell
was chosen leader OF the party, AMI that

STOOD by them. He would lead the party

ment for North Wexford. riliculed the
idea Of Parnoll being preiudiced by the
| verdict IN the O'Shea case. His col

The Frccmap's .Jo,vnol, commenting
upon the outcome OF the O'Shea case
and the predictions that have been made
| concerning its effect upon Parnell's fu-
ture, recalls tho private lives Of the
Duke OF wellington. Lord Nelson, Lord
Palmerston, and n number OF other
prominent personaRes, who, it says, IN
their time wore the subjects Of scandals
similar TO that in which Parnell Is now
involved.
The JoUnol says that the Pabble
about the social ostracism 10 which Par
nell will be subjected is absurd because
he never went into society. The pastors
charged with his moral well-being are not
the pastors of the majority Of the Irish
people "It is neither our dutynor our
province to adiudge his private life nor
90 examine bis conscience. lreland's
business with lin is entirely Of politi-
cal nature. He has ably, faithfully. and
successfully served his country, and
has brought her ont Of bondage and
led her to within sight of the promised
land. 4 iuucturc has now been
reached where there can be no
swapping or changing of leaders. We
would not change if we could and could
not change if we would The Irish, not
the English, people will decide il the
toll Of tho nation for years is 10 be lost,
or the fruit OF that toll risked because a
man has been weak and a woman frail
It is imperative that Psrnell continue rs
leader Of the Irish Parliamentary party.
The necessity for this course Will be pro
claimed nt q meeting of the National
League TO be held to-day and at public
meeting to be held Thursday
The EJprcas Conservative says: II
would be wise for Parnell to retire 20
private life, but VIC can hardly expect
him to show so much self-respect as tlis
course would evidence.

PARNFLL's DUTY TO RESIGN.
The PaH-lfaH GazCHe says It is
Parnell's duty to the Irish people, their
English allies, his own character, and his
cause to resign his leadership. Many of
the Irish Bishops and their English a.
lies are likely to hold the opinion that
Parnell has betrayed the Irish cause by
