PARNELL Is IMMORAL.
ARCHBISHOP WALSH DEGREES
HIS MARRIAGE.
Says Was Only n Public Compact TO
Commit Further Adultery with
Government Sanction.


Opponents Of Charles Stewart ParneIl
are distributing all over Ireland, as well as
in Irish centers of population in England,
handbills containing fac smile Of a letter
recently written by Archbishop Wash in
response TO the letters from the priests as
TO whether the marriage of Mr.. Parnell and
the former wife of Mr.. O'Shea has altered
the moral aspect OF the situation resulting
from the revelations in the divorce court.
The following is a portion of the letter:
Whatever may be the standard Of morali-
ty before which Mr.. Parnell may choose TO
regulate his course of life no sections of
the Catholics of Ireland-if their Catho-
Lefty had not been drugged into stupor by
the poisonous doses administered 10 them
from day to day and in the columns of
apostate journals-could stand in need Of
any words OF mine TO them. These two
things must be kept in view first, that
adultery is grieyous and shameful sin;
and consequently that the guilt OF it, so far
from being washed away, is but deepened
and blackened when the sinners, instead OF
turning from their evil ways, deliberately
enter into public compact TO continue their
sinful career" BY public compact the
archbishop refers TO the fact that the
couple were married at a registry Office,
the Roman Catholic church in England not
recognizing marriages contracted at such
places as legal, although registrars are au-
thorized by law TO perform marriages. and
that authority is recognized by every other
denomination in England save that to which
the archbishop belongs.
