IoSpON, March S.-Tho Associated
Press agent in this city has received
from Mr.. John redmond, NJ. p. for the
city OF Waterford, m address 10 tho
Irish people, which will bo published
in Dublin tomorrow morning. tsays:
"FELLow CouSTRYMEN:-A crisis has
arisen in tho fortunes OF our country
which makes it imperative upon the
men who struggled three years ago I'M
der Mr.. Parnoll's leadership in Ireland
TO preserve unbrokCn that magnificent
organization and brotherhood which he
establish ed among our race, to address
you in advice and warning.
"N1r. Gladstone had declared that tho
retention OF Mr. Parnell would reduce
his own leadership Of tho Liberal party
almost TO n nulIlty, but his letter con-
tanned no threat OF resignation OF his
poaiton and no hint or suggestion that
ho or the Liberal party would change
their attitude on the question OF home
rule.
"ln moment oil extreme weakness
and panic Mr.. Parnell was abondoncd
by Il majority oil his colleagues, and
abandoned avowcdly to maintain Mr..
Gladstone's leadership and preserve the
alliance with the Liberals.
"Many predictions that wo predicted
have already como to pass. Dlssonsion
and disorgaCization at homo, apathy
and indifference among the race abroad,
have replaced one OF the grandest and
best disciplined political combinations
that the world ever saw, and tho honor
able alliance with an English party,
when it was in opposition and thirsting
to attain ofi!ce, upon promise, Of full
Justice to Ireland has degaucrated, so
lar rs tho bGtraycrs OF Mr.. Parnell wero
concerned, into coniederacy with the
government. 1t was to retain Mr.. Glad
stones services that Mr.. Parncll was
ovcrthrown. His promise was tho bond
that has been offered on every political
platform i'll Ireland during the past
three years, whenever there was ques-
tion OF doubt raised respecting the
sincerity OF the Liberals.
"Wc warn our ellow.countrvmeu
that his retirement now from the lead
ership OF the party can have origin only
in I scheme to defeat tho hopes OF tho
Irish people by tho abandonment OF
homo rule, or by such compromise as
can only bo regarded by Ireland as an
insult and mockcry.
"The complaccncy with which tho
Liberal leaders received the rejection ot
the home rule bill by tho house OF lords
was explained in speeches that prom
ised agitation against the very existence
OF the house OF lords itself when it ex.
tended its obstruction to m English
measure. That vain boast ended in a
miserable compromise with tho lords
upon English measures, and rs II in
very mockery OF the hopes which havo
melted ireland, tho premier, whose con-
tinuance in office WAS tho pledge OF
home rule, is cast aside, and member
OF tho house OF lords appointed in his
stead. In Lord Rosebery and tho
present cabinet We can have no coni-
dence, and We warn our fellow country
men TO have none. They will conccde
just as much as Ireland cxtorts by the
organization OF her people and absolute
aud unfottered independence OF English
parties.
"Organizo the forces OF our race in
support OF tho struggle ior national
government. Insist that the cause OF
Ireland be kept boldly to tho front by
those who speak in your behalf, and
show tho Irish representatives that you
will tolerate no miserable compromise
with your couutry's rights for the con.
yenience OF either English party; that
you regard it nobler in your race and
moro betting the dignity and honor
OF Ireland to continue, II necessary, n
bitter struggle with both than to con-
tinuo to be the scorn OF ono and the de-
luded dupes Of the other"
Tho address is signed BY Mr.. John
Redmond, Mr.. Timothy Harrington and
Mr.. Joseph Edward Kenny.
