LONDON, Oct. 12-Mr. Parnell's par
liamentary colleagues have issued the
following manifesto:
Ireland has lost her leader, but her
cause remains-the duty to the living
ann dead to maintain, erect and unsul-
lied, the flag of national independence.
You, the people of Ireland, gave into
the hands of Mr.. Parnell and his par
mentary colleagues the charge of your
political interests and the honor and
safety of the national cause. You asked
us, by constitutional means. to restore
prosperity, peace and freedom to our
country, and animated by his spirit,
guided by his clear intelligence and
firmness of soul, we carried the cause
to a point at which the tower of vic
tory could be seen by all men.
But in an unfortunate hour a majority
of the Irish representatives, at the bid
ding of an English statesman, broke
our ranks, abandoned the flag of indie
pendent opposition and ranged them
selves as followers aud satellites of the
British statesman. We refused to be-
come parties to the treason, relying
upon the national conviction, and main
tanned intact the allegiance to the
Independent National Party,
in the conviction that the people would
Justify and support US. The great
leader is dead, but the cause lives on.
Relying on your devotion to Irish ma
tionality, we propose to carry on the
struggle until the principles for which
he lived and died triumph, and the ma
tional unity is restored.
The parliamentary party is pledged to
work for Ireland under the flag OF an
independent opposition wholly free
from the control of any foreign power
or party. This is our resolution. Its
realization depends upon you. 1t in
call upon you to make them. True to
the principle that we are the instru-
ments of the people, we bave resolved
to call a convention of representative
ITlShmon 10 discuss in the name Of the
nation the means whereby to carry out
the policy and programme he be-
queathed In dying.
To our ranks we shall welcome all
honest men who belive that the political
affairs of Ireland should be controlled
and directed by the representatives of
the Irish people alone; but with men
who are Immediately responsible for the
disruption of the National party, who
in obedience to foreign dlctation hound
ed to death the foremost man of our
race, we can have no fellowship. In
their guidance of Ireland there can be
no safety. Between them and the men
who stood true to the cause of national
independence, Ireland must choose. On
the threshold of the tomb the leader we
mourn defined our duty in these
IInperishable Words:
''If am dead and gone tomorrow, the
men fighting against English influence
in Irish public life must fight on still.
They will still be Independent Nation
alists, they can still believe in the future
of Ireland as nation, and still protest
that it was not by taking the orders of
an English minister that lreiand's
future could be saved, protected and
secured"
Fellow countrymen, let it be the
glory of our race at home and abroad to
act up to the spirit of this message:
God save Ireland.
