HINTS OF PARIS FUND DISCLOSURES

DUBLIN, Oct. ia convention of the
Irish National Federation was held at Ca
van to-day. There were many priests among
the delegates. The meeting was presided
over bv Timothy Healy, member of Parlia-
meut for North Longford. In his prelimi-
nary address he said the members of the
Irish national party are not concerned with
eulogies ever the dead but in the interests
Of Ireland, let the dead past bury its dead.
''Mr. Parnen has gone 10 his account, and
those honoring his services to the nation
thought that the best memorial would be to
push on the work upon which he was en-
gagged before the clouds intervened between
his vision and the best goal Of Ireland. Her
real sons were not afraid to face public
clamor. Whatever happened he would
never apologize for doing what he could
against Parnell when he found that the
country's interest demanded Parnell to re-
tire from, the leadership of the majority.
He hoped that dissensions would be inferred
in his grave.
THE MINORITY TO BLAME.
''The vote for renewed war came from the
minority, and not from them. The ma
ioritv continued to be willing to overlook
the acts and calumnies of their opponents,
because they were not fighting on personal
questions, but on national ones. If Mr..
Parnen knew where he was going
in opposing the majority these men
did not, nor did they know the
forces they were unloosening or the
consequence of their action upon the des-
TIMES of their country. They said, We
cannot shake hands with YOU They never
seemed TO contemplate the feelings of those
offering to shake hands with them. We
might be like those starving American trap
pers who, you rememcer, could eat crow,
but did not banker after it
"If the minority felt unable to cooperate
with US, let them resign their seats, giving
way TO men who are open for reunion. Ire
land had given them no mandate to perpet-
uate a feud Their position was degrading,
not only defying the constituencies of Ire
land, but in the fact they had not even the
fallen's shame, because they gloried in their
infamy.
HARSH NAMES FOR PARNELLITEs.
Their party consisted of knaves and
fools, for these men declare that they de-
Spised Dillon and O'Brien. So stupendous
was their audacitv that he really began to
wonder how they were standing"
He hoped O'Brien would now publish to
the world the whole story of the Boulogne
negoti ations. If the letters and repeated
declarations of Redmond and Harrington,
now the drill sergeants of dissension,
were published, he promised such an ex-
posure as probably has never been known in
regard to the public men and people of Ire
land. He could forgive Parnell; indeed, he
believed be had already forgiven him
Cheers. But these men, pretending to be
his political heirs and executors, had not
the excuse of Parneli. They were acting
solely in the interests of Dublin Castle and
the Grange lodges, whom the people hoped
10 cast out as ulcers on the body politics.
