Must Parnell, the Adulterer,
Retire From Politics.
he IS UPHELD BY THE IRISH.
The Tory Attacks on Him SO Bitter as
to Cause q Reaction.
Some Of the High Moral Papers Want
the Dissraced statesman to Marry
His Paramour. Too-Meanwhile the
Peasants are Starving.

Ole. r. lne press OF Great Britain and Ire
land IS still discussing the Parnell case.
With the exception of the Irish Nationalist
papers the general verdict is that Parneli
must retire. Many papers agree with the
Pail Mall Gozettc that he must also marry
Mrs 0'Shea. The Pail MaH Gozette says it
may be taken for granted that neither the
Irish parliamentary party nor the Irish
people. rightly or wrongly, will press Par
nelPs retirement It adds:
But this fact does not for . moment relieve
Rarnell from his duty. On the contrary, it
gfves him an opportunity which we live in hope
he viii seize. of doing an act Of reparation. II
10 Parnelrs clear duty to send his resignation to
his constituents. This 10 duty which he owes
alike to the Irish people, to his English allies, to
his Character and cause. Now that he has con-
fessed his guilt he should have the coursge OF
1t and resign.
LONDON. Nov. le.-The Evening Neus
says: "Ireland's lpcrowned king has been
crowned with infaa,y."
The &dr Ct. p. 0'Connor's paper) SAYS:
Parneli does not intend to resign the leader
ship OF the Irish parliamentary party. He wrote
with his own hand the summons issued Satur-
day to his followers, calling upon them to be
present at the opening Of the house of COM
mons. He maintains m imperturbable temper
and even spirits, and has talked with his friends
upon matters Indifferent or tri1ing. bat he has
made no allusiOn to the tr al. He is certain to
appear In the house of commons when that
body opens November 25 Home rule Is COM
pact between nations. not persons. and it Will
stand.
The Dublin Fseeman's Journal, comment
ing upon the outcome of the O'Shea di-
voce case and the predictions made con-
cerning its effect upon Parnell's future, re-
calls the private lives of the Duke Of We'll
lington, Lord Nelson, Lord Palmerston,
and number of other prominent persons,
who. it says. in their time. were subject to
scandals similar to that in which Parnell is
now involved. The journal saws:
The gabble about the social ostracism to
which Parneil win be subjected Il absurd, be-
cause he never went into society. The pastors
charged with his moral weil-belug are not
pastors OF the majority Of the Irish people. II

The E3psvss says:
Il would be- wise for Parneli to retire 70 mi.

20 nuch self-resr oct as this course would evince
New YoRK, Nov. 18.-It is learned that
the Irish delegates now in this country are
firmly resolved to stand by Parnell for
leader. A cablegram will be sent by them
to that effect tomorrow.
DUBLIN, Nov. IA meeting OF the Ma
tional League was held in this city today.
Edmund Leamy presided. He said Par
nell had been the chosen leader OF the
party and that the party would stand by
him while he stood by them. He would
lead the party In combat in parliament
during the coming session. and the Irish
would be more than eyer devoted to him.
John Redmond ridiculed the idea of Par
nell being prejudiced in politics by the YER
dict in the O'Shea case. His colleagues
were bound by unfailing loyalty. Never in
the career of the Nationalists were the
members of the party more determined to
stand by Parnell. Redmond's remarks were
greeted with cheers. Joseph Kenney and
other leaders spoke in similar strain.
There was large attendance of Irish
members Of parliament, all OF vhom agreed
that Parnell should retain the leadership of
the Nationalist party. The meeting closed
with cheers for him.
LONDON. Nov. 18.-A rumor is current
that Parnell will retire from active politics
and marry Mrs. O'Ehea. He has promised
to give continuous advice to his successor
in the leadership of the Nationalist party.
It is an undeniable fact that the virulence
against Parnell displayed by the Tory
papers editoriaIly is causing reaction of
public sentiment in his favor.
EDINBuRGH. Nov. 1G.-Notice has been
given in the town council that . motion
will be made to remove Parnell's name
from the roll of burgesses. The council re-
ceiyed the notice tf the motion in silence.
