VISITORS TO THE DEAD MANS TOMB

ing manifesto:
Ireland has just lost her leader, but hel
cause remains The duty of the living to the
dead is to maintain erect and unsullied the
flag OF national independence. You, the
,coDle OF Ireland gave into the hands of Mr.
Tancu and his Parliamentary colleagues
the charge of your political interests and the
honor and safetyof the national cause. You
asked US, by constitutional means, to restore
prosperity, peace and freedom to our coun
try, and animated by his spirit guided by
bis clear intelligence and firmness OF SOUL
We carried the cause to point at which the
tower of victory could be seen by all.
But in an unfortunate hour, majority OF
The Irish representatives, at the bidding o!
an English statesman, broke our ranks,
abandoned the flag of independent opposi-
tion and ranged tb bemselves as followers and
satellites of the British statesman. We re-
fused 20 become parties to the treason, re-
living upon the national convention, and
maintained intact the allegiance to the In
dependent National party, in the conviction
that the people would Justify and support
ES.
THE CAUSE STILL LIVES.
Tho grea leader is dead, but the cause
lives on. Relying on Your devotion to Irish
nationality. We propose to carry on the
struggle until the principles for which he
lived and died triumph and the national
unity j. restored The Parliamentary party
IS plcdgeG to work for Ireland under the flag
Of an independent opposition, absolutely
rree from the control OF any foreign power
or party. This is our resolution, Its realiZa-
tion depends upon you. II involves sacri-
fees and struggles, and we call upon you TO
make them.
True TO the principle that we are the in
s'rUmeuts ol the people, we have resolved
TO call n convention of representative Irish
uCl 70 discuss in the name of the nation
ruo means whereby to carry ont the policy
and programme Parnell bequeathed in dy-
ing. To Our ranks we shall welcome all hon
c~t men who believe that the political at-
fair~ of ireland should be controlled and
ulrectcd by the representatives of the Irish
usa pie alone; but with the men who
are immediately responsive for the dlsrup-
tlan Of the National party, who, in obedience
1D foreign dictation, bounded to death the
foremost man of our race, we can have no
fellowship. In their guidance of Ireland
the men who stood true TO the cause of ma
tional independence Ireland must choose.

ANTI-PARNELLTTEs CONCILIAToRY.
T. P. O'Conner, NJ. P, for the Scotland
division of Liverpool, in an interview to-
day regarding the situation of Irish Parlia-
mentarv affairs said: '[rhe strongest desire
of the majority is not TO stand between the
nation and the restoration of unity. With
this object in view many meetings. including
the important convention which was to have
been held in Cork have been postponed
I'VE desire to show our profound respect
and grief in the most emphatic manner
Among the political opponents of Mr.. Par
nell were men whose affection for him per-
sonally was as deep and warm as that of
those who felt it TO be their duty to stand
by him..
Concerning the chances of a reunion of
Irish parties, Mr. O'Connor said: This is
not the time to discuss this question. II
was anticipated from the first that the ve-
bemence Of their grief over their lost leader
would lead Mr. Pamell's supporters into a
state of temper in which reason is blinded
by affection. They see in the political op-
position to Mr. Panell jealousy and private
hatred. All that has happened has tended
to realize this view of the case, but believe
that
THIS STAGE OF UNREASoN
will pass away, while sorrow for the loss of
n
der which prevailed at the vast funeral of
Yesterday, in spite Of the terrible appeals
made to disorder and passion, are a wei
come sign that the Irish people will be
ready III due time TO consider the political
situation calmly, and to again be united in
a final struggle for their liberties.
There is no difference in political prin-
ciple. Both factions are convinced that the
IRISH party should be absolutely independ-
ent OF all English parties and statesmen,
and that no Irish Nationalist can accept
place or pay from an English Ministry.
Both factions desire to get for Ireland
full and practicable measure of self-goveTn-
ment, and Will accept no other. The So
called McCarthyites hold exactly the same
views politically as the Parnellites."
PanelPs friends are indignant at the
statements made by John Dillon and others
that Paneu refused to release the Paris
fund OF G4O,00O for the benefit of the evicted
tenants. Parnells friends claim that he
was perfectly willing TO release the fund
provided that his claims for money ad-
vanced to evIcted tenants should be allowed
on the same basis as money advanced by
John Dillon and others.
