in person had they been present. So far
as returns have been received most of the
impromp,u meetings were in Parnelps IA
vor, and in more places than Dublin the
chief enemies of Parnell were fguratvely
destroyed by fire.
The People and the Priests.
The bishops manifesto condemning Par
nell was read in all the churches at mass,
and the priests added exhortations to the
people to obey the spirit of that document
in their political action. The people did
not seem to take kindly to this clerical in
reference in some cases. and at Mitchels-
town and Kilkenny the Nationalists met
after service and adopted resolutions sup
porting Parnell. In Armagh the priests
propose to stump the country against
Parnell. 1t is believed, however, that on
the whole the church will confine itself to
moral suasiOn. The excitement in London
political circles is intense.
The Appeal to the People.
The Parnellites, il is understood, are
anxious to force an appeal to the country
as soon as possible, and claim that their
antagonists are afraid to submit the issue
of their conduct to the people. 1t is stated
on the alleged authority of Timothy Healy
that the party headed by Justin Mccarthy
VIII conuiHue I'd Keep tnelr seiitS Wluuouo
any designations, upholding the cause OF
home rule and waiting for time to bring
about a sober and deliberate Endorsement
in the now excited constituencies.
A Matter of Bread and Butter.
A large portion of the Irish members
have been in receipt of stipends for their
services in parliament, and it is difficult to
see how those disconnected from Parnell
are to receive their salaries hereafter, as
the common fund is locked up by the i'm
broglio. One of the first tasks of the Nc
Carthyites will necessarily be to devise
some scheme of raising fund indepen-
dent of that heretofore relied upon for
parliamentary expenses. Parnell is in
ample funds, as since the division in the
party several American organizations have
forwarded money directly to him instead
of to the treasurers formerly appointed.
