HaYA:
However the existing row In Ireland
may end, the most conspicuous iRuro
In and will remain Mr. parnell himself.
No man In our generation has been 81
grossly misreprpsented; and no less by
hIa foes than Ivy his friends On my
recent Wait to Ireland, eight Years ago,
Tor example, i heard leader in the
anti pArntn party to-day declare to u
crowd gathered Ia n street named after
Daniel O'Connell that MIR. parnell Ia
tile greatest man that tho Irish race
ever produced" lt IL hluBhless and
senselsss blarney like this that has
placed both Mir. parnelI and his oppo
nenta In a false light and altitude.
Parnel hae been praised for qualities
he does not posseas, for services he
never rendered, for sacrifices he never
made. parneII has been praised tor his
iiheraliy to tho irish cause, whereas
every Irish leader knows that IL he had
been liberal he ilas hidden his gifts 50
akilfully that not one Of them could
tell what IL was and where bestowed.
I Except. perhaps. Smith O'Brlen, there
never was an Irish leader who SO little
embodied aud reflected the Irish char
acter az Charles Stewart parnell, I

NEW YORK, March 14.-Parnelrs mani

In its editorial column the Times says: :

asks for money for political use, but
makes no mention of help for the evicted
tenants who bravely stood out for many
weary months in self-sacriticing protest
against the rack-rent principle. Has Par
nell forgotten the martyrs of the cause in
his quarrel with other leaders?
The Post says editorially: The money!
seeking manifesto from Parnell will. we
trust, meet the response it deserves from
such American Irish as have any money
to spare for Irish needs. No matter how
unjustly Parnell have been treated, either
by Gladstone or his own Irish colleagues,
his one duty to Ireland is to get out of
sight. The fact that he has been ill-used
does not authorize him to go ON wrecking
the home-rule movement.
The Mat and Express says: For colos-
sal effrontery the manifesto beats any
thing that has yet appeared.

FAILED TO AGREE.
No Verdict Reached in the Case of the
People VS.. Charles Luclxehe.

No Verdict Reached in the Case of the
People VS.. Charles Luckehe.
MARYSvILLE, March 1.-THE case of
the People VS.. Charles Luckehe came up
in the Justices Court at Yuba City yester-
day. Luckehe was charged with mali
cious mischief in having cut private
levee belonging to George Behlman, four
miles west of Live Oak, Sutter County.
Defendants attorney admitted the cut
ting, but denied that it was done mali
ciously. They claimed that the levee was
nuisance; that it endangered the property
of defendant and his neighbors by closing
the natural channel and forcing the water
in another direction.
Over thirty witnesses had been sub
penaed by the defendant, including the
County Surveyor, and the case was bitter
ly contested.
The case was given to the jury at 6
O'Clock, and at 10 o'clock they announced
their inability to agree. They stood 10
Tor acqulttal and for conviction.
District Attorney Mahon says he will
continue the case and carry it to the
higher courts, if necessary.
The case is of much importance to SUIT
ter County, particularly the northern
part, as a great many levees and bitches
have been built. If finally decided that
Behlman has no right to maintain the
levee, the system Of drainage in that sec
ton is worthless.
Luckehe offers to let Behlman and the
prosecuting witnesses select three respon-
sible men to inspect the premises and de-
eide as to the proper manner of getting
rid of the water.
