The manufacture of Irish grievances has been a flourishing industry for the last seven centuries, and the evicted-tenant dodge is the latest design. The McCarthy - ites and Parnellites are both on thia line, but neither aide has much to say on the delicate question, What has become of the money ? said to have been raised by Messrs Dillon and O'Brien, when they came round this way on a begging tour. Was it given to Parnell and locked up in the Paris bank, or waa it spent in paying for the board and lodging of Mr McCarthy's followers ? By our cablegrams last night Parnell is now making an appeal on behalf of the evicted tenants. Ho has made this appeal, probably, because he ia joalous of the McCarthyites jumping bo profitable a claim. But who are primarily responsible for there being a single evicted tenant in Ireland ? Why the very men who are singing out for money— the Nationalists—the men who invented the boycott, the plan of campaign, who incited the people not to pay rents, and so got them turned out of house and home. There aro hypocrites in thia world who feel no aharoc in using their fellow men aa the monkey did the cat to get tho chestnuts out of the fire.
