IRISH AMERICAN: The release from
prison of John Dillon and William
O'Brien put new vigor into the cause
of Home Rule in Ireland, and will go
a long way towards healing many Of
the discords that have unhappily rent
the ranks of the National party since
these gentlemen failed to harmonic
there differences aI the Boulogne Con-
ference. Nj. O'Brien will take a. rest
from politics; and it is, therefore, as
certain as ANYTHING in human politics
can be, that John Dillon will assume
the leadership that Justin Mccarthy
willingly resigns. That John Dillon
will make prudent head Of the Nat
ional party there can be no doubt. he
has the confidence and affection of his
parliamentary associates, and Of the
Irish people all over the world. He IS
singularly free from any Of the draw
backs and entanglements Of the bitter
personal fight that has been waged
since Parnell was deposed from the
leadership. The struggle for Home
Rule, therefore, will be carried on once
more with renewed strength and with
proper direction.
