Reasons why Parnell Should Temporarily
Withdraw from Lea1ership.

Reasons Why Parnell Should Temporarily
Withdraw from Leadership.
LONDON. Dec. 10-The anti -Parnell mem
bers of the Irish parliamentary party have
issued a manifesto to the IrtBh people. In
this they say, in part: 'Parnell, Disregard
ing our appeals to remember the country,
evinced an ill-iudged determination to
maintain his untenable position, thus
threatening to plunge Ireland into con-
flict which may overwhelm her and cause
her present fair prospects to dis
appear forever. II is the duty of
every Irishman now. irrespective Of all con-
sideration of feeling, either Tor Parnell or
those differing from him, TO adopt the
course that will tend to save Ireland from
destruction The signers enumerate at
length the reasons for their action. They
specify charges against Parnell as follows:
First, He speaks as if he was the injured
party, whereas he alone is responsible for
the present deplorable situation.
Second, He pledged himself TO repel the
charges in connection with the O. Shea case,
but when the time came he remained silent.
Third, He does not hesitate to renounce
and denounce multitudes Of English friends
of Irish liberty ms English wolves
Fourth, English wolves and Irish bish-
ops express the same opinion of Parnell.
and he cannot mend matters by calling
nicknames. If Parnell is reelected the
tory government will resume power, CO.
ercion will receive new lease, and the
struggle for home rule will be lost to. the
living generation. Finally. the question
for the Irish nation is, Lose all for Par
nell, or win all without him.
The siQners refuse to abandon Gladstone
for Parnell, or to insist on the liberal lead
or revealing his plans for home rule, which
action they say would foolishly give ad-
vantage to Ireland's foes. They refuse to
believe Gladstone desired to dictate. He
was bound to publish his conviction that
the retention Of Parnell in the leadership
would wreck home rule. The signers Of
fered Parnell the opportunity OF tenn
porary retirement, with q view OF
eventual Reinstatement, but he; aiever
gave the faintest chance Of settlement.
His fatal manifesto was an apbeal to hatred
between the people of Great Britain and
Ireland and makes it impossible for him
hereafter to cooperate with the liberal
party. The signers never deserted Parnell,
but he deserted them; and the honor of Ire
land is safe in their hands through good or
evil fortune. The signers pledged them
selves to remain nm independent party, thus
insuring final victory for the Irish cause
under the auspices of the alliance of the
British democracy and the Irish people.

Leamy who was installed as editor by Par
nell, and turned ali the matter which they
found set up into s.pi." Then they took
possession of the ledgers and other books
this was done in the name Of VIM. O'Brien.
A strong posse from various lnborer So
cietles was left as garrison, with instruc-
tions to remain on guard day and night
and resist by force any further intrusion of
Parnell and friends.

a NEW CONTRACT LABOR Law.

To Meet tlis Evastony Of -Em ployers-
Committees.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Representatiye
composing the house contingent of the
joint congressional committee on immipra-
tion have agreed upon bill to regulate i'm
migration. Chairman Owen will report the
bill as soon as possible. In explanation OF
the general features of the measure Owen
to-day said: ut is new contract labor law,
The old law is 80 wretchedly inefficient
that, according to the testimony Of labor
inspectors and employees, % per cent of the
immigration now coming to the country is
in violation to the contract labor law. That
feature was framed to meet the condition
of things that existed at the time the law
was passed. Employers have now changed
their methods and the law is unable to
reach them. 1t is practically useless, so we
have framed new law. We have also very
much enlarged the prohibited classes Of
immigrants" The bill is substantially
that introduced week ago by Owen and
heretofore published. Polygamous persons
are added to the list Of classes defined in
Owens bill as not entitled to be admitted
into the United States. The tax upon
Aliens which, in the Owen bill was fixed at
fifty cents. was increased by the committee
to one dollar.
The select committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Commissioner
Raum met again to-day. Lewis, democratic,
offered resolution setting forth Cooper's
charge OF improper conduct on the part of
kaum in the late election. and providing
that the committee take testimony concern
ing said charges. was defeated by party
vote of three to one. Lewis thereupon in
troduced resolution requesting the chair
man to present to the house resolution to
investigate the charges by Cooper. This
was also defeated by the same vote. The
committee will meet again Saturday.
Tho house committee on census TO-DAY
discussed informally and without action
the reapportionment bill. II Was decided
to give hearing Friday to Brooklyn, on
the demand for recount of that city and it
WAS also decided that the question of the
accuracy OF the count of New York city and
similar questions with respect to BROOKLYN
and any other cities should not delay action
upon the reapportionment bill.

Why, it's good I
0f ~r,1rao

OF course.
You never see business anything
else than good with us.
Why is it?
Because
That's a good reason, ain't it 4
But the fact is, beginning with e.
query, why should business be
anything but good with us? Peo-.
pie have to buy goods and they,
buy them from the houses that
offer the greatest Inducements.
Now, how can you tell who offers
inducements unless it Is by a firm
announcing itself.
The most successful firms in the
United States, and in fact all over
the world, are the greatest adver-
tisers. They have done good for
themselves and done good for their
customers. They have a good
thing; they know it, and are will
inq to let their customers in on it,
instead Of holding it for high profits
and letting it out in :.''dribs and
drabs."
We have several good things
and propose to let the public know
it. Amongst them are line of
cheap Pants, that can be seen all
this week on a rack at the south
side Of the store, marked in plain
figures at prices that make some of
these fake selling out sales" look
very fatigued. We have lots of
goods and but little money, and
are anxious to see it reversed, SO
we can say we have lots Of money
and but few goods.
We never brag.
A man is a braggart that cannot
support his claims. We may
make claims that sound improb-
able, but when you investigate
you will find they are "absolutely
correct" and will give $4,000 to
any person producing an adver-
tisement of ours that made a claim
we did not support.
Still, we do say we show line
Of Overcoats that can lay out any
thing in the city for beauty or
quality, and if you don't believe it,
investigate. We have no idle time
in our store. Only workers about
it, and while we don't claim to be
superhuman, we do claim that
we have never mistreated a Gus
toner, nor has advantage ever
been taken OF anyone that favors
US with their patronage. # any,

vised "dont go there rest assured
there is a reason for it-most likely

fused many, and it would be thou
sands in our pocket if we had re-
fused all. We sell our goods cheap,
bat we must have the money.
