Dublin, Oct. 2S.-Walter D Alton, of
Tipperary, discussing the celebrations
in honor of the memory of Parnell,
= said:
els it not time that these dwindling
annual professions to Parnell' s grave
should cease9 They seem poor, I'M
worthy mockery of that black day four
teen years ago that most of us will re-
member while we remember anything.
"We Parnellites claim something
more than this for Parnell s memory
Nay. more, we insist that this paltry
- procession keeps him from his rightful
rible bitterness, of the strife of broth
ers. 1t is meant-so far as it has the

memory from the general honor that

leath we might recall his stern fateful
career, his ripe manhood, his youth of
preparations, and behind it all his
birth, sixty short years ago on the 9th
If June next.
A Common Sympathy.
"In the celebration of his birthday
united Ireland could make comm on
ympathy and take common pride Why
lot? We would close a chapter to open
history. We would insist upon the
blessings of union. We would cement
>eace.
''To the minds of thoughtful men his
life work grows greater as the months
nd the years pass by. Shall the future
evel this reproach at us, He was a
:reat man and prophet without credit
