COMMENTS ON THE EVENT.
How ParneIps Death Is Regarded by the
 Press and Prominent Men.


 Press and Prominent Men. LONDON, Oct. .9.-Justin Mccarthy said, in an interview yesterday, that it would be impossible to forecast the political effect of the death of MT. Parneu. He hoped that it would lead to the reunion of the Irish party, and 1t would certain ly net hinder the cause ot Home Rule. He believed that all Irish hostility to Parnell was swallowed up In genuine and universal regret.
 Three weeks ago he had long and friendly conference with MT. Parnell at his (Mr McCarthy's) house in Chelsea. They mutually agreed to draw part of the Paris fund for the expenses of regis tration, incurred before the division of the party Before the divorce proceed ings he had been a close friend of Par nell, whom he admired intensely.
 'Parnell consulted me-" said MT. Me Carthy, ''about his lamentable manifesto and used all efforts to prevent its be- ing issued, because 1t made his leader ship impossible" "
 The Right Hon. J. Chamberlain said in an interview that the death of Parnell might influence the government to go to the country on present legislation, but it was more likely that the Cabinet wou Id endeavor to pass the Irish Local
 
 prospect of that being done should the opposition adopt the same attitude to- wards the bill, as towards the English Local Government bill. The general election, he thought, would be held late in 1892.
 The "Dublin Mail'' says that many of Parnell's bitterest enemies in Ireland would be shocked by the suddenness of his death For months past he looked ha | the stress of battle too severe for even a strong man.
 Although his cause was hopeless, he | was still a thorn in the side of MT Glad stone, and might have influenced cleo tions Now the battle for home Rule must be fought on it's own merits All l the same every generous heart would lament the tragic death of the Irish | Rienzi.''
 The Dublin Fireman says that one l of the most remarkable careers in mod ern times had been brought to an early and sudden close. ''At such a moment it would ill-befit the Irish nation to put aside and discard the memory of the bright days when 1rishmen regarded Charles Stewart Parnell with confidence in his integrity, honor and devotion.
 ''We claim that great effort should be made to close with death the sad his tory of the last few uneasy months of | fratricidal strife. We appeal to the people throughout the country to be moderate and calm, and to join in that national unity, without which we hon. estly believe it impossible to predict tbe final triumph of the Irish cause"
 "United 1reland," in an editorial, says that the Captain of the Irish people has been done to death by the taunts of Irishmen, who have broken the heart of their leader. It ironically asks whethe r their cheeks are pale and their hearts ar. chilled at the prospect of what their callousness, cruelness and pitiless treatment have effected. It quotes the taunts of Timothy Healy, threatening to drive Parnell to the grave or the lunatic asylum, and satirically asks whether Healy is happy now that the grave is open for or who was in the glory of manhood, a son of Ireland nohler than Grattan, and greater than O'Connell, full of the love of Ireland.
 The Dublin "Evening Press" (Mc 1 Carthyite) says that Parnell's death is g terrible lesson to those who thought that the Irish nation should take Parnell's life as the lease of Ireland's safety. They almost pretended that he was God-like and undying. We cannot forget, even al this moment, that they calculated ioyously on the death of Mccarthy tc | place Parnell in possession of the Paris fund. God bless thS faithful people did |. not fail to see that the nations cause did not depend in the mortality of men Parnell is dead and Ireland lives. If al the leaders of the Irish cause had passed away with him, Ireland's cause would be fulfilled.
