that true Irisbmen have resolved to support
their independence, and that the Kilkenny
reverse is the trumpet-call for you to close
your ranks and make the last supreme fight
for the cause" 1t adds that 'the fatherland
is threatened by calamity SURPRISING a
thousand Coercion Arts-the lowering of the
flag Of independence on the vague promises
Of a British statesman. Irish history teens
with disaster resulting from a reliance
placed upon English promises"
THE REAL ISSUE.
The proclamation, continuing, asks "the
people to sustain the tried policy of the In
dependent party in Parliament" adding
that with the people Of Ireland and Amer
ica united behind it, it should sustain the
leader who made that policy and led you to
victory until now. The issue between the
Independent party was as to whether the
people should choose their own leader and
party, or as to whether they should become
merely part of the English Liberals and
accept leader dictated by the English
leaders. That would not be home rule.
We want real home rule-the home rule
for which Emmett and other patriots gave
their noble lives. We were advancing to
victory under good leader. Support him
and the grand cause forever. God save
ireland"
THE PARIS CONFERENCE.
The Freeman's Journal to-day announces
that the conference between Parnell and
Mr.. O'Brien will take place tomorrow at
Boulogne- ur-Mer. 1t adds that Messrs.
John Redmond. Kenny and Clancy, and
perhaps Campbell. Members Of Parliament,
will be present at this meeting. The
Journal also remarks that whatever the re-
suit Of the conference, nobody will be able
10 say that Parnell has placed barriers In
the way Of any agreement that might be
looked forward to.
OBJECT TO DICTATIoN.
The Mayor. the Mayor-elect and five
previous Mayors Of Coik have written to
OBrien stating that it is the opinion of the
people Of Cork that English statesmen,
in conjunction with Gladstone. have at
tackled Parnelrs position. The gentlemen
referred to add that, much as they appre-
ciate Gladstone's services, and deeply feel
the obligations due to the Liberals, they
deny their right to dictate to Irishmen as to
who should or should not be their leader.
ITS OLD TRICKS.
LONDON, Dec. 29-O'Brien, In depying
in his dispatch from Paris that he ever
wrote line for tho Irish World, as stated
by the London Times, added that he had
caught the London Times at it's old Plggotty
tricks, and that "he would not allow that
newspaper to sail away with its quibbliag,
dishonest reply pinned to false, malicious
libel"
1t is stated that the Government will with
hold the Irish Local Government Bill until
the dispute between the Irish factions is
settled.
THE IRISH CAUSE.
PARIS, Dec. 29.-In an interview with an
Associated Press reporter to-day, William
OBrien said he had little to say to his
friends in America yet. When the proper
time comes he and others will be ready to
give all possible information, and he hopes
in regard to the proposed meeting with Par
nell. Regarding the statement attributed to
Hugh O'Donnell that the funds of the Irish
party held in Paris are In such shape that
neither the Psrnelites nor anti-ParnelIites
can touch them, O'Brien declined to give a
direct answer, saying that no Nationalist
who knows ODonnell attaches the slightest
Importance to anything he says on the SUBJ
lcct. Reg arding the funds subscribed in the
United States recently, O'Brien said no man
on either side In the present conflict has the
smallest lear that there will be any misdi-
rection Of the national funds. The fund
now In Paris was subscribed for general
political purposes and remains in suspense
pending settlement OF the differences in
the party. As to the American funds Just
subscribed, they are to bs forwarded to the
joint Treasurers, Webb and Kenny, in Dub
lin, and will be expended solely for tho p,ir-
pose for which they were subscribed, the
support Of evicted tenants. Not the slight
est diniculty can arise in regard to the dis
position of these funds.
A COINCIDENCE.
ROME, Dec. 29.-There is considerable
comment here over the fact that Bishop
Graves of Limerick has been in this city. in
cognit0, for some days past. His presence
here at the same time Sir George ErringtOn
10 in the city is regarded as curious and
many believe the Bishops visit relates to
Irish affairss In general and Parnell In par
ticular.
GLADsToNE's BILL.
NEW YORK, Dec 29.-The Tribune's Lon
don special says: Gladstone's bill for open
ing up the Offices of Lord Chancellor of En-
gland ana Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to the
Roman Catholics will probably pass its Sec
ond reading. The Government will make
the bill an open question, and some of them
will vote for 1t, believing that it only carries
out the principles of civil and religious lib
erty. The Liberal UniOnists are also in
favor Of 1t, and, in fact, II 1t did not bear the
character Of a Charles Russell relief bill 1t
would pass without difficulty.
PARNELL TO VISIT AMERICA.
hear that as soon rs the Irish Land Bill
Is disposed OF Parnell will visit America,
with view TO bringing the whole physical
force OF tho party to his side. He is very
much annoyed that Patrick Ford should
have gone over to the enemy. The real
truth about the Nationalist funds is, that
the money in Paris, about 100000. will re-
rut IrrrN NrI e.
