1t is quite evident that the Fcnan
movement fails to gain the sympathy
with Americans generally that was anti
cipatcd. There il one radical fault in
Irish character, and one which neccssar-

who are expected TO sympathizc with the
oppressed. They show themselves dcsti-
tute OF that sympathy themselves. We
will give the Son of Erin all the honor
that can be claimed for him with reason.

but when you come TO the matter of SYM

there Is perpetual antagonsm, which
seems to inhere in the Irish nature. and
seldom fails, when opportunity offers, to
vent itself on the blacks, though they may
be the most unoflcnding cretures on earth.

1t is not becoming in Irishmen to flee
from oppression at home only to develop

they ever dreamed of complaining Of 1t

in which Mr.. Orr the candidate of the
working man, beat Wade Hampton, the
candidate of the arislocracy, is exceeding
ly suggestive. If the working men are
to mnch for the aristocracy in that State,
they may be in every other and it is the
most natural thing in the world to expect
that southern politics will take this shape.
And if they do, the working men are
bound to win.

FRENCH BARBARIsM IN MEXICO.
sorry work the French-Austrian dnyasty
seems to have made of its bastard enter
prise of carrying "Latin civilization" into
Mexico. During the three years of rule
it has thus far enjoyed, it has only added
to the disorder, the poverty aud wretch
edness of the country. 1t has added, also,
peonage and despolic tyranny At last,
wearied by the steady resistance of the
National troops, Macmillan, by his pro-
elimination of Oct Sd, has authorized the
assassination of every prisoner thereafter
taken by his forces. Any Mexican sol.
der captured is to be tried at once by
the officer of The captors-no matter if
he is onlya lieutenant or a corporal

whether he has made resistance or not.

der-the hosting of the black flag The
Liberals, of course have to retaliate, and
so we have the account of five French
