race at home and abroad, in which he i'm
plOres them TO arise and show themselves
equal TO the present emergency. lie says
there is no hope if Parnell remains as the
leader OF the Nationalist party that Ire
lands cause will be saved. He de-
clares that the Irish party con-
tains more than one man capable Of leading
it to victory, and that there IL sufficient
patriotism therein 10 follow leader chosen
from its own ranks by majority OF It's
members. Nevertheless, Mr.. Dayitt asserts
that whatever decision is taken at Non
DAVIS adjourned meeting OF the National
isis. the Irish cause il imperishable. He
requests his countrymen to pray God that
wisdom and courage will guide those upon
whom Ireland's hopes are centred.
PARNKLL AND HEALY.
MIR. Timothy Healy and Mr.. Pdrnell were
i'm conference to ether in the library OF the
House of OmmOns for some time to-day.
The feeling among the NatiOnalists seems

LAND PURCHASE BILL.
In the House OF Commons today Mr. Bal
four. Chief Secretary of Ireland, introduced
the Irish Land Purchase bill. In explain
ing the measure be said that tue Govern
mont. policy was the same a. IN SsS. Dut
for the sake Of simplicity the bill had
been cut in halves. BDlh portions taken
together presented practically the same
measure ~ the bill Of 1883. the altera-
b..I ts..n "A all n4l
gree the view Of Nj Plrnell. who had Ill =
gesied that the privilege OF purchase be
confined 10 tenants OF holdings under
nfty pounds valuation. Though BtlfOur
coulc not accept exactly that lin tation, he
had altered the scope OF the bill 10y trciud-
ing all purely grazing farms and farms on
which the tenant did not reside.
Another change MAS one IN reference TO
the objection taken at the last session 10 the
limit of twenty years purchase then pro-
posed. That limit did not appear IN the
new bill. The power would also be
given the Yiceroy Of Ireland TO extend
the period Of five years, during which eight
per centum of the purchase money was pay
able, In regard to an increase on the
powers OF the local authorities, Mr.. Balf0ur
said the land question was largely used Tor
political object, and It would therefore be
absurd 10 leave il 10 the local communities
under the incitement Of agitat0rs To deter
mine whether they should adopt a remedy
going 10 the rot OF agrarian discomfort.
Mr.. LabOuchere moved al amendment
against pledging the imperial credit for the
purchase OF land until the country gives its
consent at a general election. The amend
ment was rejected, 26S 10 III. Mr.. Glad
stone. Mr.. Morley, and Sir William Har-
court walked out OF the House before the
division. Mr.. Parnell and all the Parnellte
members voted Will the Government. The
bill was then read the trst time.
sALIspURY's GfBEs AT PARSELL-
Numerous Scotch and English and Liber-
nj societies have adopted resolutions con-
demning Mr.. Parnell, and declaring that
they will not consent to any further politi-
cal cooperation with him. The morning
papers comment uniayOrably upon LORD
Saiisbury's vulgar gibe at Mr.. Parnell, and
consent TO the fact that the English aristoc-
racy is too deeply IN the mire to permit OF
its indulging in filings at such SIN
ners as the Irish leader, though the
masses OF tho people have an undoubfed
right TO sit in judgement upon his ouenses:
The cases OF the Duke OF Marlborough and
others are cited as cautions to the Premier
that he is not strengthening HE position by
such ill-natured personalities. IL Is ex-
pected that Mr.. Parnell will announce his
final determination in regard TO retaining
the leadership as soon as he hears from Mr..
OBrien in response 10 the cab.ed inquiry
for his advice.
POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
The ease with which the Land bill was
put through its preliminary stages to-day
was . surprise In view OF the stubborn re-
si.tance made to it at every stage on former
occasions. The Government leaders are lu-
bilant owe r the series Of accidents, lucky
for them. though disastrous to others,
which has weakened the Opposition, and
they are making all the hay they can while
tha sun ahines. The attitude Of the two
