What the Papers Think,

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Telegraph
publishes Parnell's political obituary. It
savs he must cease, for the present at
least, to lead the Nationalist party.
It is reported, that the followers of Mr..
Parnell do not desire him to retire un.
less by bis own volition, in which the
leadership Of the Irish cause will be
vested in commission OF which Mr.,
Justin Mccarthy will be President.
The provincial newspapers Join in a
chorus Of denunciation Of Mr.. Parnell.
The Dundee Adrerlisr (Gladstouian) says
that the spectacle Of Parnell's sneaking
out of'back doors, and sliding down fire
escapes is contemptibleand pitiable, and
that he ought for time retire to private
life, as the liberal party will prevent
any attempt to brazen it. out. Glad.
stoniap papers in many cases ADVISE
temporary self-e1acement.
The London Daily Chronicle saws: ut
is deplorable that he should have
wrecked his career and destroyed his
public usefulness merely to crafty q
guilty passion. How can Catholic Ire.
land retain such A leader? The middle
class electors IN England will certainly
resist any appeal, even by Gladstone, to
support the party led by Parnell.''
The Daily Neses says: "The Unionista
appear to hope that the discredit that
has deservedly fallen on Parnell will
cling to the Irish party and the Irish
cause. But political principles and par.
ties are independent Of accidents to in.
dividual leadership. Even should tbs
present leader step aside, there are
others who will take his place. The
anticipation Of damage to the Home Rule
cause will be disappointed

the influence OF the prophets upon the

shaken, will bo substantially destroyed.
+ lie is certain that there is no danger OF
trouble this winter, but If the present
ppirit OF resllessness and the agitation is
continued, next spring may witness an
outbreak. Every precaution has been
taken by the military authorities to
promptly suppress M outbreak If it
ahould occur. Troops in adequate mum.
bers have been htationed at points Of

n Gen. Ruger, commander in tho De
partment Of Dakota, U. S. a., and Lieut.
Woodruff, arrived on their way to St
Paul from visit to Forts Sully, Randall
I and Bennett. They report having found
the Indians very quiet, and although
there is much interest manifested regard

no occasion tfos alarm. There eSietet
some undue excitement among tht
