globe itself, the Irish have the bad
but undoubted pre-eminence OF
being always in stew, forever in a
state of ferment, often in hot and
angry ferment, and l cannot resist
the conviction that the fault rests
very largely with themselves, de-
terminately with themselves.
l have very little sympathy to
throw away on Ireland. none at all
on such disloyal Observation-Disclosures
as Parnell. I think there are far
better and more deserving people in
the world than the Irish at home,
many Of them, upon whom to bestOW
all the sympathy, emotional and
financial, that [ have to spare. A
quarrelsone and turbulent neighbOr
l always dislike and despise, and l
think it would be difficult to find a
more quarrelsone and turbulent peO-
pie than the Irish at home. They
are quarrelseme enough elsewhere,
but they are worst at home. [ am
rather inclined to blame Gladstone
for his forbearance, for putting up
with so much as he has, for allow
ing diSloyalty, violence, extreme
crime, and defiance of the law
and the officers of the law
to grow to such a head as
they have, to the very verge of an
archy. If the Irish had been the
Turks, he would have wanted to
drive them out of Europe long ago.
In Ireland we hear of such things
as landlord and other assassinations
frequently, and we hear Of various
other fiendish crimes in which Irish
men operate. We hear also of mObS
and riOtings, of attacks on life and
property in the streets. NapOleOn'S
way was good and effectual for mob
oer2tic lawleSsnesS. 1t was short,
sharp and decisive. Rioters and
mobbers did not fourish under his
energetic and determined rule. 1t
was not healthy for them. He
would NOW them down, and with
out needless ceremony. Yes, he
would NOW them down, and he did
not have to do it often. One dose
of his medicine went long way in
curing that bad disease. 1t is good
medicine for murderOus mObbers,
assassins and dynamite fends. Now
them down. Fetch out the old
fashioned grape and canister, or
the more modern Calling, and cut
down the ripe harvest of illegal
violence. Severity to the lawlesS
is justice to the law-abiding. If
Inc law less want anarchy, let them
lave 1t not. If they want blood,
and viii have it. let them have it
TIL they ale Surfeited, but let 1t be
their oNl hat must be mere pre-
cious t. Eel han any other. Be
sides, t -, nra no right to the
blood OF oJnel and if they attempt
to take it they cannot reasonably
complain when their own is made to
flow freely in consequence. He that
sheddeth mans blood, by man shall
his blood be shed, and justly, for the
murderer forfeitS his own right 60
life. Moreover, of all states and con-
ditiens of society, there is nothing
worse than anarchy, nothing SO en-
tirely bad, so utterly hopeless.
Any government which would
tamely submit to the wilful and
open defiance of its authority by
numbers of its subjects or citizens
would be universally regarded as
fatally pusillanimous and weak,
and would be correspondingly
pitied, if not despised.
Dumouriez, in the decisive cam
paign of Valmy, manifested the
quality that is needed in the ruler
that the rampant Irish at home
ought to have just now. In the
French army of that time (l792)
were many CarmagnOles, or reVo-
lutionary volunteers, who were
'turbulently impatient of superior
authority or systematic control"
and many of them were pre-
eminent for savage INSTRUMENTATION
against their own officers" At one
time eight battalions Of these
Carmagnoles Joined the command
of DumourieZ. Intoxicated with
massacre and seditiOn, they began to
talk of destroying all discipline UNI
der pretence of purging the army Of
dGSs cow CAlO
ger and met it at once aHd effectu-
ally. He posted those CarmagnOles
by themselves, placed strong force
of cavalry behind them, and tive
pieces of cannon on their flank. He
then proceed to review" them. Sur
rounded by all his staff. and escorted
by hundred hHzzars, he halted at
the head of the eight insubor-
dinate battalions and thus ad-
dressed them: Fellows. for will
not call YOU either citizens or SOL
diers, you see before you this artil-
lery, behind you this cavalry. You
are stained with crimes, and L do
not tolerate here assassins or execu-
TONERS. know that there are scoun-
drels among you, charged to excite
YOU to crime. Drive them from
among you, or denounce them to
me. for [ shall hold you responsible
for their conduct" This was sag
acious movement on the part of
Dumouriez. He won the campaign
against great odds, and, says Ali
sen, from the cannonade Of Valny
may be dated the commencement OF
that career Of victory which carried
their armies to Vienna and krem-
lin" Had not DumourieZ n1pped
