It may possibly be alleged. however. thnt
the Parnellites differ from the McCarthyltcs
In this. that the former insist upon m In
dependent alliance with the Liberal party.
and rcpudiate the idea Of subservient
fusion. But what signs have Mr.. McCAR-
THY and his followers given Of sinking into
mere docile auxiiaries and camp followers
OF the Gladstonians? During the late ses-
sion OF Parliament they repeatedly voted
against them. and 1t is well known that they
differ irreconcilably from the Liberals on
many important questions. 1t Is indeed
preposterous to assert that Mr.. GLADSTONE
as Prime Minister would find such Irishmen
as JOHN DILLON, WILLIAM OBRrEN, or T.
p. O'CoSNon a whit moro tractable than
was PAnNELI himself.
It seems. thon, that the upholders Of Mr..
JOHN REDMOND in his present canvass
having In vain sought elsewhere for mark
OF distinction from their former friends
must fall back on the averment that the
Parnellites deprecate the interference OF the
Catholic clergy at the ballot box. whereas
the McCarthyites rely on them Us their chief
means Of support. If we look closely at the
facts. however. we find that the Parnellites
welcome with enthusiasm any stray men,
bers Of the priesthood who happen to array
themselves upon their sidc. In former days
they had nothing but applause for tie ener-
gctic demonstrations OF Archbishop WALSH
and Archbishop CRoKE on behalf OF No
tlonalist candidates. They are aware that
for dozen years it was not detrimental.

cause OF Mr.. GLADsTONE'S ultimatuin.
which nado tho attainment Of homo rule
for Ireland Incompatible with tho retention
Of Mr.. PARNELb in the leadership Of tho
Irish Parliamentary party.
There Is then no trace Of real difference
between tho two Nationalist factions which
have been this week reviing and assaulting
each other in Cork. The spectacle which
they present may be amusing to their COM
mon enemies. but it Is beyond expression
lamentable in tho eyes Of their common
friends. Is it possible that any Irish patriot
can fail to SEQ that tho British Liberals are
watching tho Cork election with misgiving
and dismay. while the Tories are LAUGHING;
in their sleeves? Is there not good sense
enough among tho well-wishers Of Ireland
on both sides Of the Atlantic to force tho
McCarthyites on the one hand to extend the
olive branch and to compel the Parnellites
to accept it on the other?

Tho Rloting In Cork.

The scenes Of violence In Cork which have
attended the contest for the seat left vacant
by Mr.. PARNELL may have q deplorable ef-
feet OH British public opinion. which has for
some time been setting decidedlyin favor OF
home rulo. We are not surprised that a
meeting Of English Liberals Is contem-
plnted for the purpose Of stopping the fac
tious strife among Irish Nationalists. whose
obvious outcome Is to furnish tho Unionists
with arguments on behalf OF their favorite
averment that Irishmen are naturally inca
psble Of seIf-govornment.
The rioting In Cork will tend to restrain
sober-minded Englishmen from acqniescing
In the wish Of lrishmen to govern them
selves, because half Of those at present on
gagged in breaking each others heads do not
know what they are fighting for. There is
now absolutely no difference between Nc
Carthyites and Parnelltcs which Is dis
cernible to outsiders. So long as Mr.. PAR.
NELL Lived there was q personal factor In the
situation. and the REORGANIZATION OF ut leasta
fraction OF his former followers not to desert
their leader was entirely Ineligible. Now.
however. that the personal factor has been
eliminated by death. 1t Is impossible to
draw q limo Of demarcatlon between those
Nationalist who chung to Mr.. PARNELL to
the end aud those who forgook him from the
conviction that In this way they could best
serve Ireland. Let any one essay, for in
stance. TO define the difference between the
aims and methods OF Mr.. JOHN REDMoND
ON the ono hand and Of Mr.. JOHN DILLON
ON the other. and the futility of their antag-
onissm will forthwith DO recognized.
" may be said that Mr.. PARNEL1 and
those members Of the Parliamentary party
who adhered to him appealed to the hillside
mon. Docs this imply belief on their part
that the local self-government of Ireland Is
to DO attained by appeals to violence rather
than by Parliamentary demonstrations
Evidently not; the Parnellitos would not
now be fighting for their leaders seat un-
less thoy had faith In constitutional agita-
ton. Are we then to suppose that the diff
ference between the Parnellites and tho
McCarthyites lies In the resolve Of the
former to exact genuine system Of home
rule. and In the willingness OF the latter to
accept Q sham? 1t is ridiculous supposl-
ton that Mr.. DILLON. who made no secret
Of his dissatisfaction with the conces-
sions accepted In 1885 by Mr.. PARNELL.
would now assent to any schome OF
government which did not embody the
fullest guarantees OF local independence.
Moreover. as Mr.. +. p. O'CoNNoR has
pointed out. even were 1t conceivable that
Mr.. DILLON would consent In the smallest
particular to sacrifice his country's inter-
ests. It would DO fatal blunder on Mr..
GLApsToSE's part to connive at such q
transaction. From the viewpoint OF an
English Liberal 1t IL not worth while to
bring In Home Rule bill at all. unless 1t
win settle the Irish question. which has
blocked for years the progress OF political
reform IN England. The leaders OF the
Oladstonian party are perfectly aware that

Destructive Work of Lightning.


Lightning struck one of the many fine
and strongly built outbuildings on the
farm Of William Manners, near Werts-
vile, during the shower last Wednesday
afternoon, and within half an hour his
barn, wagon-house, howell and sheep rick
were lying in heap OF smouldering ruins.
Fortunately, no live stock was burned,
and Mr.. Manners was able TO rescue most
of the machinery from the barn, but 400
bushels of wheat and the seasons crop of
hay which had just been gathered, were
destroyed with the buildings.
The wagon-house had only been built
one year, and it was rattling good one.
Indeed, all the buildings were first-cIass.
Had not rain set in just as 1t did, there
would not have been a building left on the
farm. There was an insurance on the
buildings burned, but we did not learn
how much.
This Is the second fire in that vicinity
within couple OF weeks, the other being
the barn and howell OF E. ]. Strong, near
Larison's Corner. In noting this fire last
week, we stated that the buildings were
heavily insured. Our information was
faulty. There was but 5000 insurance
on both buildings. Their frames were of
solid oak, and nine hundred dollars was
not heavy insurance on such buildings,
particularly as they were filed with hay,
etc. -Hunterdon Democrat.
