liiELAND,S WOE


-b-o =
IRELAND's WOE.
ireland would seem to be peculiarly I'M
fort nate. Scarcely had new and bright
career dawned upon her emerald shores ere
the spring richness Of their green is stained
and REDEEMED with the lite blood of two
patriot friends, and the blue Of her skies is
overshadowed with heart gloom, such
as has fallen on no country for many n
day. The atrocious deed that was commit
ted in Dublin on last Saturday night by
some cowardly assassins upon LORD
CHARLES FREDERICK CAvENDIsH and THoM-
AS HENRY BURKE, secretary and under
secretary for Ireland, is one that is
to be deplored, that is deplored
by every decent man in and
out of that country The land-leaguers
and the Fcnians have already said so in no
uncertain sounds in laundering tones
throughout all Europe, wherever the light
ming could flash or the press proclaim a
sentiment that regards the atrocity with
the horror and detestation it merits. The
head centres in this country, representing
over one thousand branches, have fretted
the cables that lie in the Atlantic with
the transmission of messages of denunca-
ton against the terrible tragedy and the
deep damnation of the taking OIL by the
bloody butchers of those who "had been so
clear in their great office" and words OF
sympathy with the Irish people now
| plunged in woe at this foul and in
eXplicable and mysterious deed OF
llesned villains with carcasses fit
for but hyenas and blood-hounds.
| But it was personal act. There was no
concert of action for the purpose and the
iiends were not representative. The slaugh-
ter of LINCOLN by BooTH, the death blow
to GARFIELD by GUlTEAu, were of the indi-
vidual kind over which our friends
across the water and here us well
now mourn. There was no occa-
sion for it, for the most advanced
of the demanding land-leagucrs were
achieving victories through moral inhu-
ences that no bullets could obtain and nc
swords exact BURKE was irish and q Ro.
man Catholic and loved the land of his ma.
| tivity. LORD CAyENDlsH, though not a
great man, was member of the ministry
and as the son of the Duke of Deyonshirc
whose family title dates back to VIII.
LIAM ILL.,, regarded himself rs the great
providcntial instrument of righting the
wrongs of centuries and cementing a sure
peace between the Saxon and the Celt, and
il was his ambition to realize the thought
The deed was absurd, for the murder of an
under secretary was not the upset
ting of throne abroad nor the
capitalization of II patriotism at home
1t was rather the reverse. 1t
has brought dismay, Encouragement, desc,
lation and despair 1t has effected ma
tional disgrace and personal dishonor
Just as the suspects We're liberated and
pNRNELL, DILLON, O'NElL and DAvITr were
enjoying the benefits of English confidence
and hailed rs victorS in the evenings Me
tropolis, the bomb is thrown and exploded
What effect this will have
upon the government and upon Nix
GLADSTONE whose esteemed protcge LoEr
CAyENplsH was, and upon the lattcr's
brother, now one of the strongest of III,
British cabinet, remains to be seen. by
universal concession the premier is d
human man, just, generous and n
broad.mindcd statesman, Whether he
will think of the two countries as now en-,
velopcd in situation akin to that of Aus.
tria and Hungary in 1878 and so con.
strue the crime as the outcropping
OF pervading nihilistic feeling, or as rep.
resentative, holding the support of any re.
spectacle number of the Irish people, as was
the modern case in the bastard work of
the things in Russia; or whether he will
periodically and philosophically place, as
the American mind did the similar ones o.
Booru and GuirEAu, u few days will disclose
In the meanwhile the land leaguers and
the Fenians, the Irish in the eastern ant
those in this western continent, have don,
well in hasteningto denounce as they have
done, the shameless crime and the coward,
criminals. 1t is the only alchemy
aud antdote against the subtle poison
that the anniversaries of Irish liberia
ton will seek to infuse int,
British boscms. And they must continu,
to tell the world that they do know tina
the worst of slaves is he whom passion
rules, that violence ever defeats its owl
ends, that they hold no sympathy with tina
disease called rabies, which bites at irien,
as well as foe, and that when they ask
Cor the goddess Liberty, they will hay,
none of that blind monster, License.
