Ireland-Dayitt Attacks the Un-

Home Rulers Greatly Encoursged.

Loxpox, March 13.-f -fAssociated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. Gladstone has been
in consultation with Morley, Hsrcourt
and Trevelyan on the scope of the Liberal
electoral platform. and is preparing to an.
nounce it ut the hustings. It is learned
that home rule, with definite ex-
position of the questions OF Irish
representation in the imperial par
lament and police regulation by
the Irish government, continue to
hold the front rank. The Liberal leaders
have been fortified with determination
to pursue the Irish policy by report pre-
pared at electoral headquarters on the
probable result of the Parnell faction fight.
Mr.. Schuadhorst's forecast has reduced
Parnell's following in the next parliament
to ten. Thus Gladstone, assured the sup
port OF an Irish phalanx of seventy three
steady adheren.s, deems himself ready to
resume and complete legislation on Ire.
land.
The next plank Of the Liberal platform
is 'One man, one vote" including general
reform legislation, free elementary educa-
tion, amendment of the labor laws, with
abolition of the law Of conspiracy, equal
ization Of taxation, amendment of the fac
tory acts as affecting children, and meas
nres to assist rural laborers to acquire
holdings. 1t is significant of the early dis
solution of parliament to find the Consery-
stives suddenly becoming warm champions
of the rural workers.
The worst feature of Parnell's feud with
the Nationalists develops as the fight be-
comes iiercer. Respect toward the clergy
disappears and thinly-veiled insolence,
sometimes openly reyiling, characterizes
the speeches of the leaguers. In letter to-
day Archbishop Croke ridicules while de-
nouncing the latest ParneIlite attempt to
blacken the bishops in Harrington's arti-
Gle through the publication of Archbishop
LOCUS letter.
In an article on Parnell's appeal to Irish
Americans, Michael Davitt declares the
effrontery of Parnell is measureless in ask
ing Americans to ignore his base betrayal
of household virtues. He does not fear
but that the Irish in America will spurn
his emissaries as servants of factionist
traitor, who considers his interests above
home rule, and his furnished name above
the honor of their race. Parnell solaces
himself amid the fever of the combat by
revisiting the scenes of his old amours.
The response of ireland to the political
fund is cause Of bitter disappointment to
the Parnell faction. The Frecmaa's Journal
today shows that the total subscribed Is
but f727. Unless America subscribes gen.
rously Parnellism is menaced with death
by exhaustion after the first furious ef-
orts of the campaign.
AS the Parnellites continue to spread the
report that Dillon and O'Brien will take
sides with them, -Dayitt seized the occasion
Of the meeting of the national executive
committee to state that as soon as Dillon
and O'Brien were released both were
expected to join the federation committee.
With the appearance Of the National Press,
the waiting attitude Of the McCarthyites
has been abandoned for energetic action.
The general federation is receiving ad-
hesions in every district in Ireland.
