The Irish loya|i5ts are working them

intention of the cabinet to introduce an
Irish local government bill at the next

minority who are devoted to English
rule, to the majority, who are opposed,

REYNOLDS newspaper, a leading
English Democratic organ, which at
first was inclined to support and favor
MT. Parnell on political grounds, is
now, judging from what follows one Of
his most bitterest opponents: 1t says:
'It would appear that Mr.. Parnell's
highest ambition now is to rank histori-
cally as the greatest perverter of ver-
acity of the modern era. If this is not
an accurate description of his moral
character he is, the most Injured of
mankind. An alliance, it appears. has
been formed against him, consisting Of
the vast majority of his own party, in-
Guiding Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. O'Brien, to
the ranks OF which have now been
added Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Morley.
All these gentlemen assest that Mr..
Parnell says thing that is not. Mr..
Parnell asserts that il is they who say
the thing that Is not. 1t is the case of
one man against dozens, but ali the
same, with a confidence ,ln his own
moral integrity, Mr.. Preston, alias Fox,
alias MIR. Parnell asserts, with a lofti-
ness of distinction worthy of Cicero,
that he IS absolutely veracious, and that
Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Moreley, and the
rest are contemplate liars. This may
be so, for certainly neither Mr.. Glad
stone nor Mr.. Morley has added to their
reputation by seducing a friends wife.
But, after ali, in these days adultery,
except with men of Mr.. Parnell's pecu-
liar views of right and wrong, is not
considered as giving additi onal conf
dence as to the truth or honor Of any
individual. On the whole, therefore,
the public, no doubt, will prefer to ac-
cept the version Of the story given by
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Morley.

CONVICT LABOR.

Is 1t possible that in this free country,
and In what is termed an advanced age
of civiliz alton, honest labor must COM
pete with convict labor? Away back in
the dark ages there were men-the com
manders, or rather the dlctators, OF
whom, lived like the mountain goat OF
the Cordilleras; Robinson Crusoe life
was theirs; amidst flowers and natures
bowers, wandering through and living
in the grottoes shaped by natures hk-
ing; no other habitation was theirs; free
from the temptations and struggles
Of present life; the arrow or spear their
safe guard against personal danger, and
happy were they With no other warning
ornaments; happy were they we repeat.
The thing we now call the philosophical
question of labor, was to them vague
idea OF the great spirit inherent in the
minds of past and present savage races,
and still were they happy and passed
their mortal gates with naien and con-
tentment of heart that the rich men OF
the country to-day, would give thei,
millions 10 possess. Through the med
ium Of our styled civilized evolution how
great is the change The change is
hard to comprehend, The poor may
comprehend it, but they must not give
their ideas publicity, and why is this:
Because, probably, the great OF the
earth--we mean the capitalists, (they
are only great in their excessive adora-
ton of ma1nmon, and in ENJOYING the
possession Of lnammon's glfts), say
eve will give you wilderness for your
trouble Many men have given OK.
preston to their ideas in this matter
Their ideas have been expressed in tears;
in empty cupboards and cold fresides,
and a just God viii! record that in letters
of terrible condemnation when the Last
Judgment occurs. We notice now, in
Tennessee, that the physical powers OF
men confined in that states prisons for
crime OF every degree committed, are
sold at auction to the highest capitalistic
bidder, thus compelling honest men to
work for starvation wages or want.
The legislature of Tennessee has failed
to give her labor relief, and every man
of common intelligence knows that their
refusal to do SO is owing entirely to the
greed and selfishness of monied men,
who are avar1civus in all things except
sympathy and the grace of God. viii
it be always thus? Are men retrograd-
ing. or do they think that the accumuZa-
tion of dollars will guarantee them an
after-world happiness, or give perpetual
sunshine and glory to their earthly Ca
reer? Will we ever reach that age where
Caanan is free for all?
