rrhh Bishops Issoe q Manifesto Condemnina
the Retention of the Ola Leader.
DUBLIN, Dec. AT meeting of the
Cath Ollie hierarchy. held at the resi-
dense of Arch bishop Walsh in this city,
it was resolved to issue manifesto de-
sclaring that the rchbishops and Bish-
ops of Ireland considered that Mr.. Per-
nell was unfit to remain the leader OF
the Irish party.
The objections to Mr.. Parnen were
based mainly on moral grounds, but it
was also the opinion of the hierarchy
that his continuance in the leadership
would Inevitably Cause disunion in the
party.
The manifesto which was issued by
the Catholic hierarchy last evening de-
clares, however, that Their Judgment il
} not given on political grounds. but
solely on the revelations Of the divorce
court after which they were unable to
regard Mr.. Parnell in any other light
than as convicted of one of-the gravest
offenses known to religion 'and' 20
society, which is aggravated in his case
by almost evesy circumstance possible
to give it scandalous prominence in
| guilt and shamee
Surely Catholic Ireland" the mani.
! feseo continues, $50 eminently conspic-
uous for the virtue and purity of its So
clad lie, will not accept as leader a
man wholly dishonored and unworthy
of Christian confidence. Further we
can not avoid the conviction that the
| continuance of Mr.. ParnellS lead
ership will disorganize and range
in hostile camps those hith
erto united with the force Of
our country. Confronted with the
! prospects of a contingency SO disas
| trous, we see nothing but inevitable de
feat at the general election, and as the
result, home rule indefinitely post
poned, coercion perpetuated, the hands
of the victors strengthened and evic
tees without the shadow of a hope o
being reinStated'

In speaking of the question OF attor-

himself with some warmth. s'Think of

now issuing between $4,000 and Is, 0O0
certificates a week. What does this
mean to attorneys? 1t means that they
are receiving every week as fees cut of
moneys appropriated by Congress to re-
lieve the necessities of our old soldiers
between $50, 900 and S375, 900. Under
the old laws an attorney could charge
and collect fee of S25 on every case
brought to a successful issue, and in
the cases now being allowed. even at
the new fee of $40 per case, the attor-
neys would realize $780, 600 week.
