ERIN'S TWO-SIDED FIGHT.
THE TRTAsURERs OF PARNELL's
CAMPAIGN FUND

Shamks, are appointed treasurers OF the
fund. The appeal puts home rulo to the
front, and it declares that the industrial de-
velopment of Ireland and Ireland's
religious liberty must be an essential part
Of Irish government. The appeal also
opposes any system of religious domination
in Ireland. 1t says this question has al
ways had too much ascendancy when CON
sidering the future of Ireland. The true
course would be one of religious liberation,
Catholics and Protestants alike living under
laws Of their own making.

GLADSTONE TO ISSUE A MANIFESTO.
Copyrighted, 1891. By the Ne,O York Associated
Presa)
LoNDoN.-Narch 6.-Lberal official cir
cles expect All early deliverance from Mr..
Gladstone On the party's electoral pro-
gramme, which will either he issued ag a
special manifesto, or declared in his coming
speech at Hastings. Private and
persistent per ,saaio@ entrosty .Sf.rot. 9f mum,
make his attitude toward the Irish party
definite and unmistskable has finally
caused him to decide TO speak out Mr..
PArnelPs reiteration OF assurances to the
Irish people that by supporting him they
would ultimately bring about a surrender
of the Gladstonians is resented keenly by
the English liberal leaders.
WHAT HE WILL ANNOUNCE
Mr.. Gladstopo's announcement is OK
pected TO let the world know
that IL the Irish people cham
plon Mr.. Parnell the English liberals
will abandon home rule, Apart from the
Irish question, the rank and file OF the
liberal mernbers of the House of Commons
ore impatient to obtain a definite electoral
platform. Tomorrow tho Gladstonian
weekly, the Speaker, will contain an article
entitled Cleaning the decks" admitting
this fesling and adding that the official
programme will be in the hands Of the
electors in due time and that 1t will not be
found wanting in strength or in practical
character.
THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM.
With reference to the conservative plat
form, prominent member of the govern
ment, interviewed in the lobby of the House
of Commons, said that though the cabinet
had decided TO wind up Jhe session as
quickly as posi- ole, and aimed to prorogue
parliament in the first week in July, no
declaration would be allowed TO be given by
any minister until early in tEs autumn. He
indicated that ia tho campaign then CON-
mencing the conservatives would make
feature of the promised labor legislation.
THE FEDERATION ISSUE.
Mr.. Gladstone has quashed interest In the
motion of the Scotch liberals, led by Mr..
Cla ke, proposing 70 establish federal rela-
tions between the nationaities constituting
the United Kingdom, by causing the whips
to intimate that the party ought not TO DIS
cuss or vote on the matter. When Mr..
Clarke spoke tonight the liberals trooped
out, and when the government put up a
minor member to attack the proposal the
House was counted out. Federation is not
vet a practical question, though it has a
growing advocacy among the more ex-
treme radicals.
PARNELLs DELEGATES.
Mr.. Parnell's delegates to America will
leave Sunday. They are greatly encouraged
by the cable assurances Of warm and wide.
spread support OF their American COM
patriots.
United Ireland contrasts the departure
aud prospects Of Messrs. O'Connor, Kelly. |
Redmond and Harrison with the partial
collapse of the McCarthyite mission
preparations The McCarthyites at first
arranged to send Messrs. Abraham, Kenny
and Flynn TO act with T. z. O'Connor. Mr.. |
Abraham refused; Messrs. Kelly and Flynn
were superseded and 7. p. O'Connor packed
up his traps TO come home. Now q single
ambassador, Fox, goes to represent the fail
ing faction. The hrmest English friends OF
the McCarthyites are beginning to despair
of their ability to make headway against
the vigor and virile activity Of the Parnell-
ties.
PARNELL's USUAL SKILL.
Mr. Parnell has shown his usual skill IN
the selection of his emissaries. All except
Mr.. Harrison. are trusted nationalists, and
can appeal with confidence, based upon past
personal history, to Irish-Americans. MIR.
Parnell's speech at Clerkenwell was a
pointed bid for the labor vote. 1t was also
meant to entice Mr.. Davitt, but only
stirred up Mr.. Davitt's bile.
Writing b the Labor World Mr. Davitt
predicts that Mr.. Parnell will not humbug
the worknen, denounces him for making a
hypocritical profession Of interest in labor
