one meeting OF indignation or pay one
dollar to convince the world that they
are innocent of this damnable butchery.
England knows it. Europe knows 1t.
America knows it. God knows 1t. The
Irish are impulsive and wrathful enoSgh
against wrongs inflicted, but there is no
people on earth more grateful FOR kind
ness. and when William Z. Gladstone
conquered his Cabinet. and in true Chris
tian spirit practically said: II have no
personal pride in this matter 10 gratify,
aud as coercion has failed. letus try mag
nanimity and the olive branch, practi-
cally recalling or applying for the resig-
nation of Mr.. Forster, the rigorous Sec
retary for ireland, and sending III place
of him a milder man, more liberal man,
a more acceptable man, more promis-
ing man, Lord Frederick Cavendish.
When the English Government made
that change of policy Mr.. Parnell appre-
ciated it. Mr.. Davitt appreciated 1t, all
good Irishmen appreciated it, and the
shout of greeting which on Saturday af-
aernoon was heard on the streets of Dub
lin as Lord Frederick Cavendish rode
through was only an echo OF the great
heart of gratitude beating all through Ire
land; Ireland is no more responsible for the
death of Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr.. Burke than the United States are re-
sponsible for Guiteau 'slshooting of james
A. Garfield or John Wilkes Booth s muir
der of A braham Lincoln. l can not see
why Mr.. Parneli and his co-laborers,
transatlantic and cisatlantic, should be
so nervous, as though the world would
mistake them as the authors OF this as
sassination. There is vast amount OF
good sense among all nations, and the
blame in nearly all cases is finally put
upon the right shoulder. This hellisn
deed will not retard the cause of Ireland's
redemption a year, nor day, nor an
hour. unless Mr.. Gladstone's great age
makes it necessary for him to let some
one else undertake the work which he
has begun. II he has the firmness which
he once had, and which believe he still
has. he will not, at the glitter of two dag
gers, change his policy or kindness towart
ireland because she happens to have two
asssssins in her territory. Especially
ought Ire not change his gospel of peace
when, by every drop of blood in Phoenix
Park, Ireland is now bound to stand by
her friends in English Cabinet and En-
glish Parliament
II the new bill of last Thursday for the
suppression of crime in Ireland be only
intended to stop crime. and If it means q
reversal OF policy, and mean toward the
Irish nation clenched fist instead OF open
