tician, and after all 1t isn't eloquence you want so much in the house of com mons when fighting Ireland's battles. Therefore Dillon, who is very popular, will probably be chosen"
 Michael Davitt, who came to America some weeks before Parnell's death, said "The question of future leadership is important, but it IS secondary to the i'm portance of Q reunion of our forces, which must be looked after first. Leadership will be sacrificed, if necessary, to bring about reconciliation. New that the sad and unexpected death of MT. Parnell terminates the quarrel in the ranks of the home rulers, as it must terminate it, Mir. Mccarthy will undoubtedly insist upon being released from the chairman ship of the party, which he never desired. Beyond that nothing is certain, and even that is not absolutely assured
 "Of one thing you may be certain, we have done with one man power in Irish national politics. In the future the Irish leader will be a democrat, not an auto crat. He will not be the supreme mas ter of the movement, but the mouth piece. Should MT. Mccarthy be willing to continue for the present to lead the cause, it will undoubtedly be the best thing for the movement He has never said anything during the unhappy con troversy which is now ended that could give offense to the most loyal of MT. Par nel's followers. His motto has always been peace and conciliation, and now that the battle for home rule is draw ing very near to a successful close man of his disposition will fill all the require ments of parliamentary leader.
 "However, there is no lack of material for the post, and whether the leader is Mccarthy or Dillon or Sexton does not matter very much, now that the Irish race is once again to be reunited, and re- united with the determination to be ruled not by one man, no matter how great and wise he may be, but by a council"
 Patrick Ford, editor of The Irish World, thought that speculation as to the future would be all guesswork.
 Matters, it seems to me" he said, "are very well as they are with MT. Mccarthy as the leader. No one questions his ability, and the interests of the party as matters now stand would be best con served by his remaining at tho post for the time being. Naturally he would not meet such proposition with any degree of favor, for he is a very busy man and is dependent on his pen for his bread. But he is also great patriot, and if he can be made to see that it would be for the interest of the cause that he should remain in charge, he would, think, consent and do SC"
 M. D. Gallagher, recently elected vice president of the Irish National league, thought that the question of a future parliamentary leader was of no impor- tance whatever. Because" he added, "the passing away of Psrnell has sound ed the death knell of parliamentary agi- tation. There will be action now that will amount to something"
 O'Dopovan Rossa, the chief of the force party, was of the same opipion in effect: "There will never again." hs said, be leader as Parnell was-ons who will hold the majority of the trish leaders together under peace policy. The two factions will never get together again in my opinion, and the decks will be cleared for the people who are willing to do something" PAUL LATZKE.
