James Killelea, Of 81 aehville
has tbs "a say upon the Irish question:
il q recent issue of the Republican ofI
that CITY: s5s5
81 meetlng Of The {McO srthyts11l
irish Parliamentary party which held
in Dublin, Ireland, On Nov 9th. the de-
alterations were mainly concerned with
questions Of discipline and the SETTLE
mont Of internal troubles according tol
the reports Of the Irish papers,, and the
members only found time and thought
for those anxious matters Of considera-
ton. Judging, however, from the trend
Of these. discussions, and utterances OF
the leading members Of the body and
the writings, SO far as they are inspired,
Of the only paper that voices their views,
it would seem as it the whole Of the next
session Of parliament is, with their as
sent, to be. devoted, so: far as Ireland is
concerned, to the abstract and very com
plex matter Of the House Of Lords.
Hon. Justin McC arthy, chairman Of the
Irish party, presided, and said:
I have to declare to you that the con
tinuance of the public disputes is incom-s
patible with the safety Of our movement,
These disputes have lowered our pres
tige, our unity, our influence ana our
efficiency as party force; have given JOY
to our enemies, have saddened and dis
heartened our own people at home and
abroad, and finally have on more than
one occasian brought the party and the
whole movement to the very verge Of
financial bankruptcy, and thereby have
very seriously prejudiced our political
position. Again and again our friends in
America have warned us that public dis
putes in Ireland put an end to their
power of collecting money in America.
In Great Britain the same thing hap
pens; ~ Ireland the same thing happens.
It has taken Mr.. McC arthy and his
wing Of the Irish Parliamentary party
four long years to find that out. I en-
body il this letter q letter wrote four
years ago to the Tuam, Ireland, Herald
cautioninR the members OF the Irish Par
Elementary party to beware OF what path
they were following. The following is
the letter: 5
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 80, 1890.
Editor Tuam Herald:
Dear Sir: What deplorable condi-
tion OF political affairs the Irish Parlia-
mentary party has brought on in Ire
land The crisis is dreadful; it is indeed
q day Of shame and humiliation for Ire
land, and very heavy responsibilities
have been incurred by several members
Of the Parliamentary party on account
of the course they have chosen to adopt.
The spectacle we have to contemplate is
enough to make our blood boil with in
dignation. The principal sufferers are
the tenants who have sacrificed all for
ireland, and who are now face to face
with ruin brought on by The discussions
cf the men in whom they trusted Be-
hind all this impending misfortunegaunt
famine looms up to complete the miser-
les of unfortunate Ireland. &
Before the leaders of the Irish people
tore down the bridge Of unity over which
they we're marching to victory, provision
should have been made for the evicted
tenants, and their representatives should
not have been so ready to put back the
American hands stretched out to relieve
them. They will have TO taste the bitter
fruit of the seed they are now sowing be-
fore they realize the consequences Of
their folly.
JEMEs KILLELEA,
President Parneu Branch I.N.L OF A.
Mr.. McCarthy and his party find that
they are completely stranded financially.
Az he also said in his address to the
meeting, the aid received from American
branches amounted to$1,O0O weekly
200 lbs until the split came then went
down to nothing. OF course aid from the
States then ceased.
The Irish Parliame ntary party should.
be aware that we, in America know that
should general election take place soon
IN ireland, instead Of having one Ma
tionalist candidate to receive the suff-
rage of constituency there would be a
McC arthyite and q Redmondite running
for tha same seat with q nr0hahilifv nf q
