THE MANIFESTO A BoMRsHELL.
LONDON, Nov %, A. M.--The Post. re-
ferring TO Mr.. Parnells manifesto, says:
"Never has the veil of secrecy been more
ruthlessly torn aside. Not single point OF
the sordid conspiracy has been omitted from
the story OF the home rule compact, now
for the first time brought Co the light. A
bomb has been exploded in a moment of
anger, and Mr. Parnell turns evidence
against his fellow-conspirator in order to
save his own political life. Tho mani
fasto proclaims Mr.. Parnelps inten-
tlon TO promote complete separation as
fully as did his famous speech in America,
and has rendered tho prospects for home
rule worse than they have been at any time
since 1885"
IGNORES THE REAL POINT AT ISSUE.
The Daily Net0s says the publication of
the manifesto is the most striking and as
tonishing evidencs that the crisis has yet
produced, and continues: "Mr. Parnell 80
completely ignores the points at issue that
IL is difficult to understand tho meaning of
his manifesto. 1t would be powerful ap-
peal il 1t did not rest on an entire mis-
conception--we hesitate to say complete
srepressntation-of the whole circum-
stances of the case. We are willing to make
large allowances for him. To his excited
feelings every mans hand seems against
him, and he sets his hand against every
man. The lawless conduct, continued for
years, OF which he stands guilty, has blinded
him to the perception OF moral distinctions.
In the reprobatlon that his conduct meets
he can see nothing but desire
for his destruction. Yet the Liberal
party treated him with every possible
consideration. We will say nothing of his
revelations. A breach of confidence, IL it
has been committed, would be but a small
part Of the fault which all English liberals
will find with the manifesto. We regret it
most for the almost irreparable injury il
iuiictS on the Irish cause. IL seems to be
the last fatal disservice, which oblterates
many, If not all his incompatible
services" The article concludes with
appeals to the Irish clergy ana
and people not to allow Mr.. Pernell TO drag
down the home rule cause in his own fall BY
a belief in the serious misapprehensions of
their English friends, of which the mani
festo is full.
The Standard says that grave and,
perhaps fatal blow has been struck at the
prospects of the Home Rule party in Eng
land. 1t adds: "The manifesto is highly
damaging to the credit of Messrs Gladstone
and Morley as straightforward statesmen.
No English politician will ever trust Mr..
Parnell again, but he has chosen exactly
the right line TO win back the fanatical re-
gard of Irishmen. Never surely. did
champion battling for life treat his foes
with more lofty disdain."
The Telegraph says: at seems to us
that it would require q deal of temerity to
predict the failure of this startling attempt
Of Parnell's TO play off Irish constituencies
against the Irish party. Those who so CON
fdently reckoned upon his enforced resig-
nation will receive a certain shock from the
perusal Of Archbishop Walsh's letter. It
will not be In the least surprising If Irish
men respond with passionate enthusiasm to
Mr.. Parnell's call"
The Times says: "The manifesto shivers
forever the supposition that Mr. Parnell
can ever again be treated as a trustworthy
friend or an honorable foe. It is probably
the most shameless document English pub
lie life has seen since the days of the revo-
luton. But shameless as it is, it will not
improbably effect its immediate purpose in
Ireland and rivet once again the yoke Of an
uncrowned king on the neck Of the Irish
people. The mutineers in the parliament
tary ranks by their outrageous
breach Of confidence hold Messrs.
Gladstone and Morley UP as men desiring to
play Ireland false All sections Of the
British people will share In the hesitation
to credit Mr.. Parnell's unsupported state
ments. Nevertheless it is impossible to
suppose that the revelations are wholly
without foundation. It is impossible to
discuss at length this remarkable docu-
ment, but we are satisfied to have
exhibited the malignant ability with
which it was conceived and the Sc
verify Of the blow inflicted on Mr..
Gladstone's impracticable scheme"
The Times adds that it thinks there can be
no doubt OF lreland's answer to the mani
festo. Ia case the Irish nationalist mem-
bers, at the meeting on Monday, favor Par
