petrators of the findish act may be brought
speedily to justice. The assassination is con-
sidered direct blow at the interests and ris-
ing hopes of Ireland, and is particularly to
be deplored at this time.

FRENCH SYMPATHY.
PARIS, May Both the press and public
denounce the awful crime in Dublin, Saturday
night, and express fears the murder may
serve as Ian occasion for the tories. The
Temps says: "We hope the crime will induce
Parnell and his colleagues to separate from
the fanatics and villains who are disgracing
the land leaguers." The Journal des DebatS
says: "Nihilists are surprised that Parnell is
shown to be powerless and the government to
be thrown into the hands of the wings"
WHAT THE NEW YORK PAPERS SAY.
The Times: ''The assassination of the new
chief secretary and permanent under secretary
of Ireland follows hard upon the announce
ment of the policy of bold Cancellation by
Gladstone's government. 1t is in every light
terrible misfortune to the Irish people. If
Ireland is to be under military law, it is safe to
say that Gladstone would neither assume For

horrible event one suggestion which Ameri-
the brutal assassination, which disgraccs Ire
land and endangers the best interests of the
Irish, is in harmony with the teaching of
certain residents of this country, who
have steadily advocated it, in order to fill
their own pockets. Fer this the laws of the
United States furnish no preventive and no
penalty. Relying, as do the English laws on
the general sense of the community to, render
such doctrine harmless, and in every doubtful

cuted the murder of Lord Cavendish shonld
suffer the penalty of their crime, the public of
America will feel that there are those among
ourselves more guilty because less daring,
who if justice were done would share their
fate.''
The Herald: "The murder could not have
happened in more inauspicious moment for
Ireland. She was enjoying great victory.
She mad obtained more at stroke than she
had expected to obtain in the course of years.
Her leaders had been released, Davitt had been
triumphantly escorted to London, two unpop-
ular ministers had been withdrawn at her de-
almost any reasonable concession. The cri-
sis has now come. There can be no more tenn
porizing, no more dalliance, coercion, violence,
martial law will all be useless. What has to
be done has to be done quickly, and must be
wholly radical in its nature. Mr.. Parnell may
place himself at the head of the only move
ment which can now close the war. Every
sentiment of justice and patriotism calls on
him to take the lead and show how Ireland

The World says: Gladstone challenged Ire
land and got his answer. These murders will
be taken to mean that the time has come when
England must choose whether she shall go on
as she has for centuries gone on to govern
Ireland, or whether she will make up her mind
to leave Ireland free to govern herself virtually
to-day as an integral part of the British realm,
and to govern herself absolutely at day not
distant as an Independent nation.
''The landlords, good and bad alike, must

rent must be literally carried out. The
English garrison must prepare to de.
camp from this island which it has held for
700 years, or else the Irish must be once more
beaten into submission. The green terror
of assassination must be once more
and the Irish must be once more made to
understand that England is stronger than Ire
land and means to rule as the stronger. There
is, there can be, no middle ground. Either
the English or Irish must rule in Ireland.
Upon this issue, invited by Gladstone, it
seems plain that British politics will be re-
modelled and British parties reorganized."
"aLoBE-DEMocRAT," ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, May 7.-GIobe- Democrat says:
"The assassination of Lord Cavendish puts
the Gladstone government in very unfortu-
maize predicament 1t will be urged with al
most irresistible force that the hand of the
law ought now to be laid on Ireland more
heavily than ever, and the ministry is thus
taken at tremendous disadvantage. The
overthrow of it is not an improbable result,
for, though the assassination of one of its
members calls to heaven for vengeance, there
is really now more substantial reason for
pursuing coercion as policy than
there was last week. Outrages have
been SO numerous and go violent for
many months that one murder, more or less, is
of little account, even though the latestvictim
be the Irish secretary. A Cancellation has been
deliberately adopted and the unfortunate out
come of its first step will hardly lead Mr..
Gladstone to substaniate for it q course of re.
venge. While, therefore, the whole world will
denOunce the outrage and the government will
show the extreme OF severity toward those i'm
mediately guilty, its new departure on the
general issue is not likely to be revised. To
adhere to it in the face of the vehement de-
mand for retaliation that will arise, may drive
Gladstone out of Office. To abandon it be-
cause of one untoward circumstance would
be sign of irresolution and irresolution in
the present public temper, would be fatal to
any ministry.
'tREPUBLIcAN," ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, May7.-The Republican, referring
to the assassination, says: 1t is impossible to
foresee what will be the result of this appalling
act. The appointment of Lord Cavendish
seems to have been satisfactory to no large
element. Parnell and the other land leaguers
were outspoken in their dissatisfaction, and if
the choice was made, as reported, to quiet the
apprehensions of the Irish people, the tragic
fate which suddenly overlook the new secre-
tary will obliterate every trace OF the effect it
was intended to produce. Cavendish's appoint
ment was not acceptable to the liberals and
had caused discussions, and his death will still
further exasperate the conservatives, and of
the terrible indignation it will arouse in
England great share will be directed against
the government. Gladstone's chief safety has
all the while lain in the fact that the oppo-
sition had not leader of sufficient ability to
inspire public confidence, and it is not unlikely
that Ireland will be made to suffer fearful
retributions for the bloody act that has
startled the world, no less than would the
assassination of the queen have done.
