CURRENT COMMENT.
Archbishop Walsh and Others Express
Forcible Opinions.

DUBLIN, Dec. LIN an interview Arch
bishop Walsh, referring to his recent letter
Oh the Parnell difficulty, says:
The letter was guarded because Mr. Parnell
had not then spoken But now. his manifesto
enables me to speak more plainly. Unless Mr.
Parnell clears himself OF the charge OF adultery
the party taking or retaining him as its leader
VIII not lind the support, cooperation or conf
dence of the Irish bishops. Mr.. Parnell's breach
OF Mr.. Gladstones confidence is blamable.
Archbishop Walsh speaks only of the
moral aspect of the manifesto, saying that
he leaves its political bearings to the Irish
members.
John O'Leary, the Fenian, in an inter-
view thus refers to Mr.. Parnell:
Though never was Parnelrs follower, I say
Parnell is the only fit leader of the Nationalist
1t is stupid to abandon him because Gladstone
screeches. Gladstones revised scheme can sat
isfy no possible party i'll Ireland.
LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Dr Parker. of the City
every line of Parnell's manifesto showed
that the writer Of it was mad. Gladstone
must be simply heartbroken. AS for home
rule, it was dead and nothing could revive
1t during this generation. The non-con-
tormists bitterly repented that they ever
touched it under the deluson that they
were dealing with man of simple and pure
Michael Davitt was to-day shown tele-
gram from America saying that five of the
Irish delegates in America declared that
Mr.. Parnells continuance in the leadership
was an impossibility. He said:
I never doubted the decision of Dillon and
0 Bren when the case was fully before them.
1t must have cost them much pain to arrive at
such g. decision. Its weight with the Irish peo-
pie will be immense The party has come
through the ordeal with the greatest honor and
! believe it will remain united and independent
Its claim to the confidence of Irish
men is stronger than ever. 1 cannot
praise too highly the many who risked
the closing OF their parliamentary career and
stood true to Ireland in this trying crisis Their
names will not be forgotten. With regard to
tO-morroW's decision. l believe it will be prac-
tlcally unanimous. A few may join ParnelPs
treason. But it speaks well for the patriotism
OF all that no hard word has been said; so that
those who previously supported him may still
take the patriotic side without loss of dignity. +
II Parnell remains in parliament and is hostile
to the Irish party, he will be an intolerable
menace to their efficiency and unity. Ireland to
a man will repudiate him, and Cork will do its
duty. Home rule must not further be endan-
gered by misplaced generosity toward him OF
party. Mr.. Gladstone is more than ever bound
to the Irish people and their cause They have
gwen proof through their representatives of
faith III his resolve to give them generous home
rule, and he will not disappoint such confidence.
His hand will be strengthened in England by
Parnel's ill-aimed shaft Altogether the posi-
ton is clearer and more hopeful. AS for Par
nell, though he has lost Irelands confidence he
still retains her gratitude. But if he makes any
further attempts to disturb the party he will be
crushed. 49,. .-.....:- - =
