transatlantic steam lines have taken pre-
cautions to guard their vessels from dyna-
mite fiends. By acts which betray savage
yindictiveness and sheer malice which
could never do anything but prejudice the
cause of the patriots, the land league have
drawn upon themselves the contempt of all
civilized nations. For all practical pur-
poses, however, the land league is utterly
demoralized, its leaders imprisoned, and,
beyond its immediate following, no one left
to bewail its fate" Now, we ask every
Irishman who loves his country, whose
hearts, with the land of his nativity and
his down-trodden people, if he can be re-
publican in his politics when the republi-
can party, through its organ, the Inter-
Ocean, can utter such vile and heartless
words as those we have quoted?
