'sln the event of the death of Mr..
Gladstone what would be the effect OH
the
Home Rule Cause?o
This is the eighty-second birthday of
Mr.. Gladstone" replied the Irish
patriot, land his death would be a great
loss, but it would not materially affect
the home rule question. 1t takes long
time to hammer an idea into John Bulls
bead, but it is difficult to get it out, and
the history of England has proved that
any reformation taken up by the peo-
PIE has always been carried to success.
As to whether bill will be introduced
that will be satisfactory l will take
up the two main exceptions taken by
tue ParnelllteS. These relate to the pO-
lee aud Judiciary. / am satisfied it will
he satisfactory, because otherwise we
will not consider it satisfactory. and the
condition laid down by Mr.. Gladstone
Is that IT shall be satisfactory to a ma
lerity OF thu Irish representatives in
parliament. For these reasons | am
satisfied that Liberal victory will mean
home rue for Ireland"
e" Has Mr.. Parnells death had any
effect on the position of his followers?''
Il and every other Irishman. ,, replied
DR.. Fox, impressively, 'sonly too gladly
acknowledge the great work done for
Ireland by Mr.. Parnell. Two reasons
could be assigned by his followers for
their action. They are:
Il. Gratitude to Mr.. Parnell for past
services; and
-. Belief in his personal prowess as
a leader
But when the National league went
to pieces continued DR.. Fox, "Mr.
ParneiPs followers i'll a few of the
large towns formed I,arneIl leadership
committees. A convention of delegates
from all over Ireland met In Dublin and
started the Irish National federation.
On MIR. Parnell's death there was not a
shadow OF an excuse for the continuance
or the division. Very many of his fol-
lowers thought SO. The few pre-
ferred TO
s Continue the Scandal
of division after every effort had been
made to get them to unite. Mr.. Par
itelfs four stronghUlds were Kilkenny,
Cork. Carlow and Waterford. Since tile
split there have been seven elections.
and Waterford was the only one carried
by the RedmOnditeS."
How do you explain the defeat of
Mr.. Dayitt?"
1T was due in a measure TO the de-
served popularity of the ate Mr.. Power,
who was large owner of property in
anu near Waterford, and also to the de-
fective register. The present Orange
representation in parliament is eighteen,
while the Nationalist have eighty
five seats. The Orangemen have a
larger body than the Redmondtes.
Now suppose the latter could
carry their present number of seats in
the next election, which is absurd. as
they cannot carry seat outside of Wa
terford. they would be but a small part
of the Irish representatives. and the
home rule bill be made satisfactory 10
the majority. The federation is-noi to
interfere with any existing organization,
aud Is the best means of helping the
erlcted tenants, who cost $1,000 per
week to our committee, as we'll as to
secure united party at the next cleo
ton. In reply to those Irish
Americans who say they want
to wait TIL after the election, we
can't wait for that time to come, as the
elections in Ireland Will be held at the
same time as those in England, at which
the question of home rule is to be de-
cided. Ii we win. we will not need
help, and if we lose it
