MANIFESTO TO THEIRISH.
APPEAL TO THEIR FRIENDS IN
AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA.

The Demand for Justice Advanced TO
a Decisive stsge-The Prospects of
Home Rule Bright-The Cause Wm
Win the Dsy-Help Wanted for
Hvicted Tenants.
DUBLIN, Sept GA meeting Of the
National Federation was held to-day, at
which Justin Mccarthy, leader of the anti
Psrnellite section of the Irish parliamentary
party, presided The federation approved
the issue OF a manifesto address, TO Irishmen
In America and Australia. The manifesto
says:
We address you on the national cause at an
auspicious time and from an auspicious posi-
tion, Our demand for justice has been ad-
vanced by the power Of the people to another
stage that IS decisive, ana all but final Tho
prospect now before us is full Of cheer and
should inspire renewed and redoubled effort
for IL shows a sure wav to victory as a result Of
the general election at which the supreme Uues-
tlon was home rule. The electors of Great
Britain and ireland, after six years experience
with government hostile to home rule and de
voted TO coercion. have established a. admins
tration founded on the principles that satisiac-
ton must be given to the just demands of Ire
land without loss of time.
HOME RULE PROSPECTS.
After denounoing the tyrannical action
OF the conservative government the mani
Iesto proceeds to comment upon the parlla-
mentary prospects of home rule. The
leaders of the government, IL says, are
pledged TO promote and to use all their
strength to pass a bill satisfactory to the
Irish members of the House of Commons
and to the Irish people. It adds:
We are convinced Of the sincerity of the
liberal leaders, not only because OF the course
pursued by the liberals since Mr.. Gladstone
adopted home rule, but also because their in
terests demand such permanent settlement as
Ireland can cordially accept The legislative
industry applied to other proposals would be
simply labor lost. Assuming that the home
| rule bill will be acceptable, we can answer the
next question whether diligence and energy
VIII be applied to secure the passage of the
bill.
IMPLICITLY CONFIRMED.
The liberal leaders, both before their
accession to office and Rnce. have
most implicitly confirmed their state
mentS that they will undertake home rule as
the first and most urgent article of their pro-
gramme. and will continue 70 hold their place
until this is accomplished. We do not forget
the declarations OF Mr.. Balfour that no matter
what bill may be passed the House OF Lords
will reject it, We also bear in mind Mr.. Glad
stones warning that If the House of Lords re-
1eCted the measure deliberately adopted by the
country they would do so at the peril of their
chamber. To suppose that the House Of Lords,
existing by popular sufferance, would venture
> to offer obstinate resistance to the viii OF the
people, would be to imagine something con
trary to the invariable experiencsin the history
of parliament, besides being opposed to com
mon sense.
WILL WIN THE DAY.
II the Rouse Of Lords, IN contempt OF ex-
perience so obstructs the home rule bill ss to
delay the passage of other measures impera-
lively required by the British people, they can
be efectually dealt with in such manner as not
only to enforce the passage of the home rule
bill, but to end ali hereditary obstruction. Far
from hearing with disqulet # what the House
Of Lords will do, we feel perfect confidence that
the Irish cause will win the day. Success is
near. In the meantime we need the help of the
people to maintain the movement with vlgor
The strain is increasing and wfll increase as the
final stage of the struggle approaches.
HELP NEEDED FOR EyICTED TENANTS
We need help urgently to save tine evicted
tenants until the Paris fund is available, or the
government commission leads the parliament
arY Intervention. When the elections occurred
the needs Of the evicted tenants had SO ex-
haused our resources that a conflict with our
opponents would have proved fatally unequal
but for the help of Irishmen in America and
Australia. The course OF events Justify the
confident expectation that when Ireland next
addresses her sons beyond the ocean the voice
of her parliament will be heard celebrating her
