EDWARD OAleaSHeF CohuOii, en-
!. ployed in the Treasury Department
at Washington, are charged with
attempting to sell the Irish vote of
PENNSYLVANIA to few of the politi-
cal bosses for a monetary cOnsidera-
alton and the withdrawal of Minister
Lowell. Neither Delaney nor Con-
don are members of the Land League,
! and could have no more Influenced
the 10000 Irish voters in Pennsyl-
} vania than they could have freed the
Irish people from English tyranny.
; 1t only shows, as the Freeman's
Journal says, that men with Irish
, names and treacherous hearts are
as ready as ever to sell their coun-
J trymen for lucre. Chester A. Ar
thur and the Republican administra-
ton are no more responsible for the
} action of Delaney and Condor than
are Parnell and Dillon. 1t is as great
an injustice to all true Republicans
throughout this great land as it is
to the. seven or eight millions of
Irish Americans, and deprecated by
one as much as by the other. We
agree with the Louisville Courier
journal, that on all questions purely
Irish the Irish Republican is as true
an Irishman to us as the Irish Dem
ocrat, and we hold that the Demo
cratic party has no claim upon the
Irish vote to-day because five and
twenty years ago it found 1t to it's in
terest to defend the Irish and in
turn to receive the then powerful
Irish vote against the Know-Noth-
ings. In the meantime such bar
gains and attempted transfers as
that of O'Nfeaglfer Condor in Penn.
sylvania, of which there hardly
seems room to doubt, will incur the
Irishman's sc0rn Of treachery. The
betrayer will be none the less odious
because he is not "A tithe- protector or
bailiff. Necessarily the Irish are
obliged to band together and hence
they have to be more than ordinarily
wary of cheats and rogues. But
they are shrewd as well as true
and brave people,and when they have
case fully presented to them We
have no fear of their going wrong.
The war in Egypt is over but the
Egyptian question is far from settled.
England will keep part of her army
in the East, and an English army in
Egypt means British rule. The ma
lions who took no part in restoring
the Khedive, will be expected to be
satisfied with whatever further kind
services England may see fit to per-
form. The safety of the Suez Canal
causes England no longer anxiety,
but she greatly desires that sooner
or later the sun may set over British
dominion in the Levant. Days of
thanksgiving are held in England,
and fervent prayers ascend from the
shrine of conquest and subjugatiOn.
