English and Irish Papers Commenting
on His Case.
LONDON, November ISlh-The Erening
NelrS says: Ireland's uncrowned king has
beer crowned with infamv.
The Pal Mall Gazette says: IL is Par
nell's duty to the Irish people. their Eng
liSh allies, bis own character and his cause
to resign the leadership Many Irish
Bishops and their English allies sre likely
TO hold the opinion that Parnell had be-
uayed the Irish cause by dragging his own
reputation in the miIe. Il would be bet
ter for the Unionists, the Ga-eR5 saws to
have PANEL remain and tar the whole
Home Rule party with the dirty brush with
which he has besmirched himself than
have him resign. A wise, honorable man
would temporarily retire and repair by
marriage the false position in which he
put his partner in oflense.
4 rumor is current that ParpeIl will re-
tire from active political life and marry
Mrs. Q Shea. He has promised to give
continuous advice to his successor in the
leadership of the Nationalist party.
1t is an undeniable fact that the viru.
lence against Parnell displayed by the Tory
papers editorially is causing a reaction Of
public sentiment in his favor.
The star T. p. O'Conuor's p8perl says
Parnell does notintend to resign the leader
ship of the Irish Parliamentary party. He
wrote with his own hand the summons is
sued Saturday to his followers, calling upou
them TO be present at the opening of the
House of Commons. He maintains an i'm
perturbable temper and an even spirit, and
mas talked with friends upon matters indit-
feIent or trifiing, but he made no allusion
to the trial. He is certain to appear in the
Of bar, hot hol
on November 25th. Home rule, the Star
says, is compact between nai0ns, not
persons, and will stand.
FROM THE BURGEssEs
EDIYBURGH, November lSth.-Notice has
been given in the Town Council that mo-
| ton would be made TO remove Parnells
name from the roll of Burgesses. The
Council received the notice Of the motion
in silence.
THE IRISH PAPERS
DUBLIN, November 1Sth.-The Ffcemaa'S
Journal, commenting upon the outcome of
the O'Shea divorce case and the predictions
made concerning its effect upon Parnelns
future. recalls the private lives of the Duke
of Wellington, Lord Nelson, Lord Palmer
ston and a number of other prominent per-
| sonages who it says, in their time were
| subject to scandals similar to that in which
! Psrnell is now involved. The Journal says
the gable about social ostrdcism 10 which
| Parnell will be subjected is absurd because
he never went into society. The pastors
charged with his moral well-belng are not
the pastors of the majority of the Irish
| people. 1t is neither our duty nor province
to adjudge his private life, or examine his
| conscience Ireland's business with him
is entirely of a political nature. He has
ably, faithfully and successfully served the
country and brought her out of bondage
| and led her to within sight of the prom
ised land. The juncture has now been
reached when there can be no swapping or
changing of leaders. We would not change
if we could, and we could not if we would.
'1ne Irish, not the English people will de-
eide if the toll of nation is TO be lost or
tae frssae Of tEst teil risS ed because
man has been weak and woman frsil. 1t
is imperative that Parnell shall continue
to be the leader of the Irish Parliamentary
party. II is necessary for this course to be
proclaimed at the meeting of the National
League, to be held to day and at the public
meeting to be held Thursday.
The Express says: 1t would be wise for
PaTnell to retire to private life but we can
hardly expect him to show so much self
respect as this course would evidence.
WILL STAND BY HIM.
| learned that the Irish delegates now in
this country are firmly resolved to stand
by Parnell for leader. A cablegram to
that effect will be sent tomorrow.
Tribute to the Serpents Sailors.
LONDON, November 1Sth.-Lord George
Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty,
| speaking at Bedford last night, said that

tain and crew OF the Serpent in the face of

| tress of the seas. He added that the Adj
miralty intended TO pension the widows
