CHEERING NEWS.
The Time Near at Hand When Irish
Nationalist VIII Be United.

for row. Col. Nolan, the member for
North Galway, and Mr.. John Clancy, the
member for North Dublin, have already
intimated that they will act with the
majority of the Irish Home Rulers in
supporting Mr.. Gladstone during the ap-
proaching session of the new Parliament.
Their example is likely to be followed by
Mr.. Rochfort Mcguire, the member for
West Clare, and by Mr.. William Field,
one of the members for Dublin. The
latter affiliated with some of the trades
union associations in England, which
are in harmony with the Liberal policy
and which have supported the Liberals
in the recent elections.
DIR. Kenny will resign his seat for one
of the Dublin districts in order to make
way for James O'Kelly, who was defeated
in one of the Western rural districts by a
narrow majority at the recent election,
and Mr.. Luke P. Hayden will resign his
seat fort South Roscommon to make way
for Pierce Mahoney, one OF the Protest.
ant Home Rule members of the last Par
lament, who continued to support Mr..
Parnell and who was recently defeated
by Davitt in Meath.
The anti-Parnellltes will not oppose
the election of either of those gentlemen,
and that will have an exceedingly molli-
flying effect on the factional spirit and
tend much towards reconciliation and
agreement.
THEIR LOSS WILL BE FELT.
There are only two members of the
anti Parnellite section deprived of seats
at the recent election whose loss will be-
felt. These are Thomas Dickson, the
leader of the Ulster Presbyterian Home
Rulers, and William Murphy, Mr.. Dick
sons partner in the ownership of the Ma
tional Press. A seat will be found for
Mr.. Dickson through the resignation of
one Of the minor anti-Parnellites.
Mr.. Murphy, defeated for reelection
in one of the Dublin City divisions, will
be given the seat for Northeast Cork,
which, William O'Brien will resign in or
der TO take the second seat for Cork City,
for which he has been elected. There
will be no opposition to either Mr.. Dick
son or Mr.. Murphy, which will DO an
other Indication of peace.
Perhaps surer sign Of the approach
ing pacifcation is the announcement
that the Dublin Independent, the Red
mondite organ, will cease publication
next week. That will remove one of the
principal sources of discord. 1t dies for
lack of support. The Redmonds and
Tim Harrington will have only weekly
organ thereafter to air their grievances
and to illuminate their denunciations.
From the tone of the London Tory
papers it is clear that the Tory Wire
pullers hope that the attendance of the
Irish members in Parliament during the
approaching session will be Pickering
and unfrequent and consequently embar-
RAISING to the Liberals. They seem to
think that the Irish members recently
elected are of the same kind as those
who served under Mr.. Parnell and who
could not remain in London unless their
expenses were paid out of the Parlia-
mentary fund. But the Tories are
greatly mistaken. The managers of the
recent Irish campaign wisely provided
against this difficulty.
WILL BE ABLE TO PAY. THEIR WAY.
In nearly every instance they selected
as candidates men who can remain in
London and pay their way. Some of
them are wealthy returned colonists and
Irish-Americans who, having amassed
large wealth abroad, have returned to
spend it in ease at home. OF this class
are Mr.. Curren, member for South Sligo,
wealthy Sydney merchant, and his son,
who has been elected for Kilkenny City;
Mr.. Morog9', one of the members for
County Cork who made millions in the
south African diamond mines; Mr.. John
Sweetman, member for East Wicklow,
who increased an inherited fortune by
investments in American lands and cat
tie ranches; Mr.. Kennedy of North Kill
dare inherits fortune made in the colo
MES; Mcclure, one of the Parnellites, is a
partner Of Cecil Rhodes of South African
fame. There are others of the, same
class. There are score or more of
wealthy local men, merchants who have
become rich in trade, like Mr.. Hammond
of Carlow, Mr.. Mains of North Donegal,
Mr.. Collery, of Sligo, Mr.. McGettigan of
North Fermanagh, Samuel Young, an
immensely wealthy Belfast distiller who
was elected for one of the Cavan divi-
sions; McHugh, another Belfast man,
elected for South Armagh.
The landlord class will be we'll repre-
sented also among the Nationalist by
such men as Vesey Knox, Capt. Donnel-

and Edward Barry. A large number, of
