OPINIONS.
LONDON. May 10.-The Times, in a lead
ing article, says: mo indicative legisla-
ton is demanded by the public opinion"
It repudiates any desire to embarrass the
government, and says it should regard its
overthrow in the present position of Irish
affairs as q public misfortune. The Stan
dard gives currency to the belief that Sir
Thomas Brassey, member of Parliament
for Hastings, and at present Lord Of Ad-
miralty, viii succeed Trevallayan as Sec
retary to Ireland.
A STATEMENT.
At Haverford. West, an Irishinan. made
a statement that last week, in Dublin, he
refused an offer Of f1OO to assassinate and
murder Lord Cavendish and Burke His
statement has been communicated to Sir
VIM O. Harcourt, Home Secretary The
man has been taken to Liverpool, and still
sdheres to his statement. His knowledge
of the locality of the crime and description
of the men, give his statement every ap-
pearance of truth. The police anticipate
something important viii come from his
statements, He says he can lay his hands
on the assassins.
MICHAEL DAvTTT
has written a letter to the Standard on the
subjsct of the assassination. After ex-
pressing his admiration of the temper of
the Standards language since the terrible
murders he says: 81 would feel | was
neglecting my duty if permitted your re-
marks to pass unanswered; for the opinion
you express of the sincerity of my con-
demnation of the murder, and of the belief
that Mr. Parnell, Mr.. Dillon and myself
are gniltless of an alliance with assassins,
ann thankful"
In answer to the Standards request to
come forward and make clean breast of
information that would throw light ON the
murder, Dsvitt recalls the fact that he
came out of Portland prison at o'clock
Saturday evening after having been con-
fined in solitude for fifteen months without
seeing newspaper or letter that did not
pass through the hands of the Governor of
the prison. HE rebuts the implication that
he and other leaguers must possess infor-
nation that wonld enable the authorities
to track the assassins. He declares that
Parnell and Dillon can not lend any more
sssistance in bringing the assassins to jus
tice than that given in their manifesto. He
agrees that pilgrimage ought to be made
through Ireland to denounce the assassina-
ton until these hideous crimes are
exercised from the land. He recall the
fact that from the first initiation of the
league he warned the people against out
RACES as the greatest danger to the move
ment He says when he delivered speeches
in the United States from New York to
San Francisco, he did his best to allay the
demon of revenge. He continues: who
ever is responsible for my arrest let him
come forward and declare on what grounds
was deprived of my liberty or lie under
the irnpntation having removed me be
cause Of my stand against the policy of
connisiug 1t murder and outrage. Had
been permitted TO continue my crusade
against oafrages and lead al influence s
Of the land league against murder and mn-
tilatien OF cattle, 4 could have prevented
numbers of crimes which stain the name
of Ireland, and might have Taverted the
horrible deed of Saturday.
