to the Tories. An indiscriminate opposition in alliance with

Speaking of the new programme enunciated at the recent Con-

gress that the ‘ncnelites intended for some time to come, at
any rate, to pursue the same tactics as in the past, and even
if a cloture resolution was passed every point that could be
made would be strained as much in favor of the Irish party as
possible. By tl this he meant that at all times and on
sions they would get the floor, if possible, and champion ‘their
interests, no matter what mi ight be the question before the
‘couse. No matter how foreign to the subject of howe rule
ing may be called to order, | but this will not deter others from
the same course, and s! parl ‘liamentarians, if the Irish-
men exhibit much talent i in this direction, might be able to do
much under the cover of rules to make a point in behalf of
their cause.

appeal to the constituencies, and that to force such an appeal
he should advise his supporters to make a determined use of
the rights of minorities, Such a course would not be ob-
structing business, as the session was ned to consider
the rules of procedure. The general election would probably
be decisive against the closure. The number of Parnellites
would be doubled, perhaps almost trebled, and it was highly
improbable that the conservatives would "be weakened.

ENGLISH DooroRrs DIFFERING.
Lord Plunket, the Irish Cepicor Bishop of Meath, in
recent address to his clergy, said that, after all, aisestablish-
ment was a blessing in disguise. ition n years ago, in com-
mon with most of the clergy of the Established Church, he
could find no words strong enough to express his detestation
of this great measure. Time has taught the Bishop, and
others of his way of thinking, 0 see that whatever is g
in the Church will not perish because the State withdraws its
patronage. While Lord Plunket was uttering these common-
sense views to his clergy, the Bishop of Lincoln, in England,
was telling the world that England is now suffering by ‘the
retributive law of God's righteous government” for her sin
in separating the Irish Church from the State—a measure by
which ‘ we discouraged our best friends in Ireland and alien.
ated ovr most faithful allies.” The Bishop had better wake
up from his Rip Van Winkle sleep.
