A GREAT LEADER DEAD.
The death of Charles Stewart Par-
nell removes from tho scone of Irish
political strife one of tho most re
markable Irishmen of this or any
other tlmo. Descended from men
distinguished for their patriotism and
valor, he Inherited many traits of
character that mado him noted as a
leader in the cause to which he de
voted his manhood. No son of Ire
landnot oven Daniel O'Connoll or
Robert Emmett has so endeared him
self to the hearts of his countrymen as
Charles Stewart Parnell. No Irish
man has succeeded more In arousing
the fires of patriotism among his
countrymen, nor had any Irish leader
ever dono so well in exciting Biieh a
world-wide degree of sympathy for the
Irish movement as tho late leader of
the Irish Parliamentary Party.
Those who admired him In the hey
day of his power, will prefer to re
member hlra for his ardent devotion
to his country's cause. The fortunate
occurrenco that blighted his political
career and dimmed the rising sun of
Irish independence, brought sorrow
to the hearts of all lovers of tho Iilsh
race.
Now that Parnell has gone before
his maker, let charitable hearts draw
a veil over the act which precipitated
his downfall, and hope that with the
death of this celebrated Irishman nil
factionalism will be wiped out, nnd
that the Irish people will once more
present a solid front in their battlo for
self-government.
A more disappointed person than
tho "freak" who writes to tho Chron
iolc, is hard to find. He is always
trying to stir up strife. He Is too
slow to be In the swim and too lazy to
think of what would be of benefit to
his town. He ought to emigrate.
The sending of the gunboat York'
town to Chili shows that our govern
ment does not think that everything
in that country is exactly as right as It
should be, so far as the United States Is
concerned.
The New York Timca concedes Mo
Klnley's election in Ohio, and tho
Now York Sun makes an elaborate
calculation to prove that Flower has
only alighting chance in New York.

Death resulted from a chill which at
tacked hlra last week. On Friday ho
was compelled to take to his bed. In the
evening of that day hit condition became
o alarming that Mrs. Parnell nnd the
attending physician deemsd It advisable
to summon other modioli aid, and two
physicians were at once called in con
sultation. Dosptto their efforts, how
ever, Mr. Parnell grew steadily worse,
and it soon became evident that doath
was only a matter of a short time.
It Is stated that Parnell had conges
tion of the lungs, in addition to acuto
rheumatism. Ho became unoonsclous
at 7 o'clock In the evening. The doctors

Were hastily summoned to his bedside.
They fsund him, liitor, in an obviously
bopoless condition, From 8 o'clook un
til the time of bis death Mrs. Parnell,
Miss O'Shea and tho doctors watched by
the bedsido of the sufferer, nnd allevi
ated his dying struggles. Ills senses
now and then would be recalled
for a short time, and then bo would
lapse Into unconsciousness.
Mrs. Parnoll, who haR boen completely
devoted to hor husband, refusing to
leave his bedsido for evonnn hour's rest,
Is utterly prostrntod by her loss, and her
physicians aro npprehenilvo as to hor
condition. She nnd the physicians wore
tho only ones present nt his doath. Sho
believed up to tho last moment that ho
would recover.
It was nt first roportod that Parnell
bad commlttod suicldo, but it was soon
proved beyond doubt that tho rumor bnd
no foundation.
It was nlso reportod tbntho bod fought
a duel with Sir John Pope-llennesi),
whoso death occurred at noarly tho samo
tlmo, but tho rumor was speedily dis
credited. No arrangements aro yot known for
tho funeral.
