US for centuries has struck at our hopes another |
blow which cannot be exaggerated In Its dlsas-
trous consequences In this hour Of sorrowful |
Sundest sympathy With the people OF ireland |
in the calamity that has befallen our cause |
through this horrible deed and with those who |
determined, at the last hour that policy Of
conciliation should supplant that Of terrorism
and national distrust. We earnestly hope that |
the attitude and action of the Irish people Will
show to the world that an assassination such as
has startled us almost to the abandonment OF
hope Of our cOuntry's future, is deeply and re- |
liglOusy abhorrent to their every feeling and
instinct. We appeal to you to show by every
manner of expression that, amid the universal
feeling of horror which the assassination has
excited, no people feel 80 deep detestation Of
its atrOcity or so deep sympathy with those
whose hearts must be scared by 1t, as the nation
upon whose prosperity and reviving hopes II
may entail consequences more ruln0us than
those that have fallen to the lot OF unhappy
Ireland during the present generation. We
feel that no act that has ever been perpetrated
In our country during the exciting struggles OF
the past 30 years has so stained the name OF
hOspitable Ireland as this eowardly and unprO-
vOked assassination of q friendly stranger, and
that until the murderers Of Cavendish and
Burke are brought TO justice that stain Will
sully our country's name

| COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS.
LONDON, May S.-The Daily Necs, this
morning, reports that when Mr.. Parnell
heard of the murders he was at first inclined
to resign his seat in Parliament and with
draw for the present from politics. The
advice of influential friends, some not
belonging to his own party, induced him to
give up his intention.
The Ners, in its leading article, says: "The
Government are not likely to be carried
away by passion or panic. Mr.. Gladstone is
tried as no public man of our time was ever
tried before, but he will know how to meet
the crisis"

wailing the fate of Cavendish and Burke,

of the crime it is easy to recognize. 1t is 9

4 The Observer to-day in leading articl'
says: "COmment on this monstrous GRIM
E is almost unnecessary. We have had to'
, many crimes in Ireland of late as cruel an(
4 unprovoked to feel any but the faintes
| hope that the present murder can be eX
pected from the long roll of outrages 0
which the agitation in Ireland has been tn
"a guilty cause, and which have remained tO
\ | long unpunished and unrepressed. For tn
N present we content ourselves with sayin
r. that be the explanation of the murder whs
. 1t may all Englishmen will share the horrC
4 felt at this deed of blood and will sympi
Y thize with the sorrow which has fallen o

It in the annals of our country"
