THE CONLESSIONS OF AN INVINCIBLE.

An abridged edition of Tynan's book on the Irish Invincibles contains some remarkable admissions. It censures the Parnellites for insincere condemnation of the Invincibles, which heaped mountains of infamy on those who, after creating the movement, deserted their comrades in the hour of: clanger. Messrs Biggar and Egan are alone exempted from the censure. Tynan declares that Parnellism and the Invincibles had one and the same policy — that of active movement, — and that its authority and armament sprang from the organised ranks of the party of legal agitation. Just before the Invincibles organised he states than an Irish member, now a prominent M'Oarfchyite,- offered to sacrifice his life by publicly suppressing MrForster, the then Irish Secretary ; also that a prominent Parnellite offical enlisted him (Tynan) to develop the policy of the Invincibles in a room in the House of Commons, where the party assembled. Another Parnellite member, he asserts, who is now a M'Carthyite, was among the Invincibles' recruits. Tynan declares that the murder of Lord Cavendish was a deliberate deed, and that leading Irishmen all the world over secretly rejoiced at his death. The Times, referring to the book, declares the statements in a series of articles published in 1887, under the heading of • Parnellism and Crime,' were never so decisive as those of Tynan's.
