j. p. lyman. the Irish Invincible, more gen
orally known as Number One" The booi
referred 10 is entitled ''The Irish National In.
vincibles and Their Times" and its apparent
purpose is to establish beyond doubt the
connection of the 'Invincibles'' with the
Irish parliamentary party.
On the other hand, it is asserted by some
Irishmen that Mr.. Tynan's book was written
in order to further the campaign of Lord Sal
jsbury and the Tory party. and that it is sim
Ssy campaign literature from the Conserva-
tive camp. In fact, it is stated that even al
this time, before the book is supposed to have
been seen by more than few friends OF the
author copious extracts from it have been
made. and that millions of circulars. calling
attention to Mr.. Tynan's book, have been
printed ready for distribution to English
voters upon the dissolution Of Parliament
Rumors OF the preuaration OF this literary
bombshell have been IN circulation in England
for some time past and it was said that the
effects OF ITS explosion would be so disastrous
rs to cause the defeat of the Liberals at the
polls and the victory of the Conservatives
over their hated enemies.
The hook according to rumor, was to con-
tain dire ct proof that the Irish parliamentary
party through ITS leaders not only connved
al. but ia fact directed the series OF dyna-
mite outrages in England which stactied the
world some years ago. and that, in addition,
this party was responsible for the murders
Ain PhGuiX park. Dublin. on May 6. 1882. of
Aord Frederick Caveudish, chief secretary
r ireland, and Thomas Henry Burke, the
ornament under secretary.
II was also announced that Mr.. Tynan's
book would give full history of the revolu-
tionary movement in Ireland during the past
thirty years
Naturally such reports caused alarm in
several quarters. and, although the book was
offered to most of the largest English pub
fishing firms, it seemed for time as il no
firm in Great Britain was willing to publish
it. as they had before them the fate of the
london Times.
Tho Irish parliamentary party publicly de-
noun"ei the authors of the Phoenix park
crimes. and in so dong, 1t is claimed 10y Mr..
lyman, they We're sailing under false colors
TO betray the lrnstin,; Irish
For this says Mir. lyman in his intro
ductory chaitcr. and for the purpose OF ex
posing their hypocrisy. this book was under
taken. In as-ailing the policy and action of
the Iavlncibrs these false parliamentarians
were heap.ng mountains of iniamy on their
own memories In the light o. the revela-
tions contained in this extraordinary book,
The exciting incidents OF the famous London
Times trial ot Il few years ago, by the result
ii which the late Charles Stewart Paruel and
his parliamentary colleagues We're ''vindi-
Gated from the charges oil completely in the
Slpnix park murders, weretame aid prosaic
u comparison.
Il IS claimed that the book proves. in the
2r-t pla {. that the assertions OF the London
Times which resulted IN the Parnell trial
Sere not only absolutely true lis far Us the;
went. but that they mi yh. have gone to n far
greater length than they did and still have
eeen correct.
1t also claims to show that there existed
curing the great struggle which too place ill
ireland under the Land League and its sub
seqUent development. the Invincible brother
lood, "a de lure government as completely or
san zed as the dc farto government. the word
OF the former being law throughout the coun-
Iry at the time, white that OF the latter was.
through its impotence. only an OBJECT Of ridi-
gale to those who were watching the struggle
which ireland was making for freedom
against her hereditary foe aud master"
Ii is also asSer.ed tnat VIXEN public indigna-
tion reached its eliminating point with the
phpnIX park affair. the manifesto put out by
the Irish parliamentary party at the time de-
nOuncing the act Was q mere hypocritical
ruse, and that instead OF condemning or at
tempting 20 prevent further occurrence of
the sort. the men who cried shame uIon the
deeds created the whole movement. and were
as responsible for ii rs if they had committed
the crime themselves. In fact, it is claimed
by lyman that the agitation which produced
the Phoenix park murder the wholesale as
sassination throughout Ireland and the dyna-
mite outrages was actually the revolt OF a ma
ton with the prominent members of the Irish
parliamentary party as leaders, aud not thu
desperate effort of a few fanatics to win noto-
rieiy for themselves.

trusted leader OF the whole campaign.
The Phpntx park murders We're. it is as
serted, deliberately planned by him, and were
intended as an Offset to the imp isonment OF
his chieftain, Parnell in an English prison.
He was empowered. however. on behalf of
the organization OF Irish Independents, for
which it IS claimed all Irishmen would vote if
free from the trammels of foreign rule and its
blasting influences.
In referring to the Pigott matter, consider
able ii:h; is thrown upon that peculiar affair
II appears that Pigott was deceived in one
way. although Got in the main points of the
case. which were in accordance with his state
mcnis.
The drift of the whole thing seems to be
to urge cessation of all constitutional agita-
tlon In Ireland, and to inaugurate policy of
dynamite and terror. which shall compel Eng
land to surrender her claims to Ireland in
stead OF asking her to give some crumbs of |
comfort in charitable way to her sister, Ire |
land, through the medium of parliamentary |
agitation. Mr.. lyman unhesitatingly de- |
hounces Gladstone as the typical hypocrite |
Of his age. and the failure of constitutional |
agitation is, Us he states, only a repetition OF |
history. and another evidence of tho perfidy |
Of the Briton and his unwillingness to render |
justice unless compelled to do so by force.
''Proyincialists'' is the word which Mr.. !
fnr fha t;,I,
Nationalist claimed by the Irish parlia- |
mentary party. He says that "Irishmen will |
never gain the respect OF mankind while their |

enemy. The detection of both men when the |
crisis came proved that Irelands leaders |
ncked the nerve to follow up their work by the |
only possible solution" This statement refers
10 :. striking chapter in the book, wherein an |
account is given OF the secret preparations
made by the Invincbes to rescue Parnell |
during his Imprisonment in kilmainham jail.
For this every preparation had been made,
I vessel was ready 10 carry him from the
enemy's flag. but Parnell had not the courage
ind refused to leave. Had he accepted the
plan Of rescue. the so-called constitutional
agitation would have openly assumed the
he manlier attitude of Wolfe-Tone and
George Washington"
