SLOSSON, City Passenger Agent MICIIAKl, DAVITT. for lilm tlint lit) curried with him nu Idea destined to revolutionize Unit which under the name of tho Irish question had been tho tinsnlvnhlo problem of English Htntcss men for 300 yearn. Yet It wns true. An nrdent Konlnii nnd a linn liellever in phys ical force, Dnvitt, during his cloven yearri beliiud prison walls, had learned, llrst from tho Htudy of Mnzzlnl's career in a ilfo of tho great Italian conspirator, and second from reflection, tlint to do nny good for Ireland hu must have n cause which would appeal to all tho Irish peoplo in one wny or tho other, ami in addition ho must not an tngontzo English puhlio opinion hy tho methods ho pursued. This cause lie found In tho laud, on which, cither ns proprietor or laborer, nine-tenths of tho peoplo de pended for their bread. Tho man hail tho nervo to wnit for two yearn until n partial famine came. During that time ho satisfied himself that tho IrLshineii in America would support those In Ireland with money. Of tho men In parliament he selected Charles Stewart Pnrnell as his colleague In tho work, anil to him proposed Ids plans. Pnrnell agreed, provided ho had full control of tho parlia mentary work and tho naming "(the mem bers elected by tho nationalists. And ho tho Innd Ijcngito was born, nnd tho long struggle lx.gan which has resulted In such great change!). There were several baslo ideas about tho league which wero now In Irish politics. Tho weapon was to m con stitutional agitation, in parliament and out. There was to bo Hystematlc relief for evicted tenants. Tho whole peoplo wero to bo welded together for ono purpose, and sectional feelings nnd Jealousies wero to lie stumped out so far as possible. Tho lenguo took iiko wildfire. Tho farm ers, laborers, dreamers of an Irish repuli lic, theorists, physical force men, each nnd all accepted it. Many gave their ad herence without much heart, taking It asi makeshift. Tho Irishmen in America, Australia and Canada welcomed it. gladly; tho plan of Hystematlc relief for those who wero suffering uttracted them. Hrnnchc sprang up in every county nnd town, nnd from tho central ofllco in Sackvlllo street In Dublin Dnvitt, who had tho league work under his control, ruled Irelund as no lord lieutenant ever ruled It. Slowly but surely tho work of forming n nation out of tho disunited, disorganized peo ple of Ireland went on, and slowly but surely tho work of directing tho relief of Irishmen outsldo of Ireland Into nu organ ized channel wiih accomplished. In tho meantime neither tho government nor tho landlords of Ireland wero idle. Coercion bills wero passed to suppress tho league, but at tho sumo time ho genuine is the English lielief in agitation that with these came measures for relief of Irish troubles. Tho league in and out of Par liament had secured a hearing from tho English people, and this was proved by the results. It did not take long for the Irish people to realize that agencies wero at work which brought nlxuit reforms when needed nnd secured concessions in a manner which was utterly now in Irish history, and with tho realization of this fact tho allegiance given to tho league became more nnd moro loyal The landlords of Ireland nnd their sym pathizers could not bo expected to look at tho work going on before their eyes with nny degree of complacency. One of tho most picturesque ilgure in Irish politics nnd English society was Arthur MncMur rough Kavamigh, the man who was born without arms or legs. There was an elo- " tho IjiiiiiI Corporation of Irelnnd. Tho iMgun had met a foomnii worthy of Its sharpest steel. Hoyrotllug was almost de prived of its power when emergency men could U) placed In tho llelds of tho land lord, and tho propaganda which was cur ried 011 In England produced a great elTcct 011 public opinion. What Davltt had fore seen had comn to pass, Tho quest Ion of tho laud had divided Ireland lulu two great camps, and tho English peoplo wero tho Judges of the war. When the Land league was transformed Into the National league It limy bo said that Davltt' work was done. Ho did not retire for soiiiej ears afterward, nnd during that time ho labored iu Ids choseu Held, Hut ho mid the league ho founded had ninilo the Irish people tho Irish nation, ono In purpose, ono in method, nnd one In their determination to carry things tollmen J. Constitutional agitation hud Wen finally nccepted,nnd physical force that phantom which had for so long Itcckoncd tho best mid bravest of Irishmen to their death In failure was laid to rest at last. The na tion was handed over to Pnrnell by the uinu whoso genius had welded it from the scattered people, nnd henceforth the strug gle was In tho house of commons, Hut tho work In tho house had been lo guu long Ix'foro. Pnrnell was In many re spects the last mail on earth ono would hnvooxpoctod toseoncolleagunof a ticket of-lcawi imn. An aristocrat, 11 Protestant nnd a landlord, ho yet threw himself body nnd soul into tho nntlunnllst cause, Ho proved himself an Ideal parliamentary tighter. Tho tactics ho pursued worn those of all tho great English reformers, and ho won Juiit ns they won. lie eared not which party bo won concessions for Ireland from, his only Idea was to win them. Ho and his followers had neither English nor Im perial politics, they were there to work for Ireland alone. As his power grew with tho addition of each member won In Ireland ho became moro and more formidable. It is necessary, however. In order to un derstand the struggle, that full value should lm given lo tho sincere convictions of the English iuohiImth and their const II 11 cncles. TJiey honestly believed tlint it was a dangerous thing to give tho peoplo of Irelnnd anything approaching homo rule. Their opposition was founded not 011 a captious dlsiegard of tho rights of Irish men, but 011 a mistaken conviction tlint Irishmen would not exercise those rights in a proper manner. The adopt ion by .Mr. niadstouo mid tho Liberals of tho Irish caiie came not from 11 meio desire for pit lltlcal power, but from u change of convic tion nml n belief that, after nil, It wns safe totrust tho Irish to obey the law. When the government of Ijrd Salisbury succeeded that of Mr. Gladstone the har vest for which tho Irish had worked so long was put oil. Every great reform iu v' V J9fv'lfi 'v ?-in W. K. 0I.AIIST0SK. England has been defeated in Its time. The enemies of home rule saw that sueeess would siirelyrome, and tho Pigott forger ies were sprung on Pnrnell. Through that trial ho enmo safely. Then tho O'Shen divorce suit was tried, and this now threatens to prevent his leading the hosts into tho promised laud. The final decision us to whether 1'arnell shall continue In place must bo given 'by tho Irish people at the polls, The strug glo among the members of parliament Is merely tho oerturo to tho drama. The question at issuo is whether tho alliance with Mr. Gladstone is of moro value than Pnrnell's leadership. The most Important man at this time is Dnvitt, who has declared ngnlnst his old colleague. Eight years ago Davltt could hae deposed 1'arnell had ho so chosen, but whether ho can do so now remains to be seen, Tho man is possessed of wonderful resources and has genius rather than mere ability. The battle between Paruell and himself will bo 11 contest of giants, along side of which nil other fights iu Ireland now will be child's play, lloth men have n traditionary right to support from tho people, both are earnest nnd honest and neither will ever cry "Holdl" AI.FI1KI) 1U1.C11. mr lw8B?fsviJ?S2v TOjif 'V?.'
