A perusal of tho debates in the House of Commons and the House of Lords on the yeport of the Times-Parnell Commission must, we think, convince any unbiassed mind that the Times, with the single exception of the forged letters, proved its case up to the hilt, In the course of one of the most masterly speeches ever delivered in the Hou e of Lords, the Prime Minister showed that their party had never attached much importance to those letters. Ip moving foy the appointment of the commission, (he Right Hon. Mr Smith, leader of thp Government in the House of Commons, nevey even mentioned the letters. The same course was taken by the Prime Minister in the House of Lords, thus unmistakably demonstrating that they thought very little of the letters, even had they proved as they were then supposed to be—genuine. The Government and their party, in fact, merely regarded them as collateral evidence in support of charges concerning which there was abundance of evidence obtainable from other sources. The Pnrnellite organs jubilantly pro,claim that the report was a triumphant victory for their side. But though they gush and twaddle by i the ream about the report, they most scrupulously suppress it. The Unionist papers, on the other hand, are publishing ilk in full. If the Parnellite papers think so highly of the report, why in the name of commo.p honesty do they not let their patrons read if 51 Their conduct in this matter alone shp>ys that they do not believe what they write, that ipyjped they are afraid to let people know what is contained in the report. The document in question proves that all the main charges were substantiated ; that LIOB,OOO of the League's funds .were unaccounted for;, that the books and corresppndence of the League were not forthcoming; and that the natural inference is that the missing sum pf over a hundred thousand pounds was expended in aiding and abetting crime and outrage. One solitary fragment of the correspondence was got hold of, and this indicated that the conclusions arrived at by the Unionists were correct. If further evidence were needed, it is to be found in the fact that the League’s bankers in Paris were forbidden to show their accounts. Again, why were the secretary, the treasurer, and the organisers of the League not produced to give evidence before. flip Commission ? Why did they keep parefplly away in America where the arm pf the, law could nof reach them ? There is only one explanation possihjp. They were afraid.
