Sligo dock laborers in order to give their

HEALY's HAsTY ACCUSATION.
Mr.. Healy's accusation that Messrs. Par-
nell and Valentine Dillon melted the Dalton
outrage will be the subject Of an action to be
brought by Mr.. Dillon after the North Sligo
contest has been decided. Tho general feel.
ing is that Mr. Healy ought to have had
substantial evidence before speaking.
The language used on both
sides is becoming utterly unrestrained The
Dublin evening organ Of the Parnellites
calls the McCarthyites "a shrinking carrion
floating on the stream Of corruption" It
apologies for Dalton's attack on MIR. Healy
az being provoked by ''libelous work con-
Quoted under eminent christian patronage. !"

the continued abuse Of their order has been
to suppress the circulation of the Parnellite
press. The leading Parnellite paper has
lost over 1000 clerical subscribers.
Archbishop Walsh will leave Rome on
tuesday, bearing the deliverance of the
pope invoking the people to sustain tho

the papal message be read in the churches

But Archbishop Walsh, obtaining inforIna-
tion that the district needed no external
impulse to go solid against Mr.. Parnell, has
postponed announcing the message until
his return.
The securing Of Sligo will give total to
the nationals in parliament, counting John
Dillon aud William O'Brien, of SO members

While the Parnellite funds are nowhere.
