Opinions Of the Press.
Commenting upon the political effect O
the assassination, the New York Time
saws. "The horror, indignation, md dis
gust which II must arouse In England vii
/ Tor the time being repress the approya
which the sober Judgment Of the Eng
/ fish people inclined them to give 10 TN
CHANGED attitude OF the ministry. and vii
very greatly strengthen the position o
those who regarded its course as q gratui
| tous and useless surrender OF the dignit,
and authority Of the Government.
There Is in this horrible event one sueges
| ton which Americans cannot regard with
out shame. IL is that the brutal assassina
tion, which disgraces the land and endan
gers the best interests Of the Irish. is IL
harmony with the teaching OF certain resi-
dents of this country who have steadily
advocated II in order to till their own peck
cts. For this the laws Of the United States
furnish no preventive and no penalty"
New York Tribune. "Thc force OF al
enlightened public sentiment, the efficacy
OF remedial legislation, and the creative en-
ergies Of political genius are suddenly pa
ralyzed. There are two foul. hdeous, das-
itlUlN lllI ufi anu tNfi Julius -
England flames with passionate resentment
and righteous fury. Public sentiment De
comes an outburst of wrath. Remedial
legislation sinks into glarlng politi'
cal blunder. Craftsmanship is baiiied,
not by craftsmanship, but by the
black flies that have been buzzing
unnoticed under the chariot-wheel Of
State. The blood Of the murdered
officials cries TO Heaven. Not England
alone. but the civilized world, recoils in
horror from the CHASTITY spectacle Of these
manglcd corpses in the great pleasure
ground Of the Irish capital. Whether the
crime has been planned and executed IN
the frenzy OF revolutionary hatred or IN
the wantOnness of miscalculated maleVo-
lence. IL is diabolical outrage on modern
civilization. \ catastrophe wrought by
pvgmies, il IS fraught with momentous
consequences 10 the English people and to
the Irish race
New York Sun "Never in the whole
course Of their history have the prospects
Of the Irish people been brighter than they
looked only twcnty-four hours ago. That
those prospects are very deeply overcast by
the dctestabe crime committed yesterday
cannot be for q moment doubtfui TO those
conyerSant with the difficulties which
already bcset Mr.. GladstOne's path. The
calamitOus consequences OF this ghastly
tragedy we cannot as yet begin to measure.
But when we think Of the huge power Tor
evil which circumstances have given the
authors OF this bloody deed, it seems TO W.
that something like curse has over
Swallowed Ireland"
New York HcrdH: "The crises has
now come. There can be no more tempo
rizing. no more dalliance. Coercion, yio-
lcncc. martial law, will all be useless.
What has TO he done must De done quickly.
and.it must be wholly remedial in it, na-
ture. MIR. Parnell may place himself at the
head OF the only movement which can now
close the war. Every sentiment OF justice
and patriotism calls on him TO take the lead
and show how Ireland can gain such OF her
ends rs are reasonable without making q
pact with assassination"
Philadelphia Press: "What alien hate,
race prejudice, and party malignity have
not been able TO do, an Irish hand has
done. Ireiand's restoration TO her own
people has been arrested in the very mo-
mcnt Of It's accomplishment, and, rs has
happened scores OF times before, by one OF
her own sons. For the blood Of Lord
Cavcndlsb, spilled in the streets Of Dublin
Yesterday, viii water fruitful crop OF re-
taliation and vengeance. Blinded by the
blood OF the pcaccmaker and writing
under Che ingratitude and cOntumely which
have met GladStone's changed policy, there
is not a Liberal, from the gentle and hui
manitaran Bright 10 the universal citizen
Bradlaugh, who VIII not demand c0ndign
punishment-nOt. alas. on the wretches
who have done the hateful deed, but the
guilty and innocent alike, by whose mac
ton or insirumentality il was allowed to
be done under the open sky and in the
crowded street"
Philadelphia Times: "For the present,
in justice TO Ireland, IT must be presumed
that the perpetrators Of this outrage have
acted on their personal impulses, and,
moved bv frenzied and misguided zeal,
have sacrificed the men who. above AL
Others, 1t this iunciuTe should have been
sacred from violence. The crime is pO-
ltical crime, but it viii find no apologi>ts
in any Irish political organization as q
whole, nor among any important element
OF the Irish people, and the English Gov
eminent viii make a grave blunder il ii al
lows the mad act Of two or three desperate
agitators to tmn IL from the policy OF Glenn
ciley which Lord Cayendisb was sent 10
Ireland 10 inaugurate, and which promised
30 much for the alienation, at least, OF
Irish troubles"
WHAT FRESHMEN SAY.
Mr.. Patrick Ford. editor Of the Irish
World. New York, said TO reporter on
Saturday evening: eli it had been Mr.
Forster That had been assassinated,' con
tinued Mr.. Ford. II might have been
attempted TO attribute. the deed "a
some rash Land-Leagucr, because Mr.
Forster was "a man OF iron, and he nut tho
screws upon the people. But Lord frcde.
rick Caycndish was new, and had not YET
done ANYTHING % arouse animOsitie-. BE
sides. he represented q policy Of paciiica
ton, and because lac did so Il WAS evidently
TO the interests Of the Land-Leagucrs not
to assassinate him.
John Boyle O'Reilly, OF Boston, whC
I took prominent part in the recent Land
/ League Convention az Washington, said th'
assassination was the act Of Guiteau or ;
Mason, and had 10 political significance
whatever. This outrageous assassination
will,~ he said, "be condemned by ever
/ true Inshman' lie said that nothini
would bring so great q grief 10 every re
spectacle Irishman throughout the entir
world as the truth OF sucha rumOr Ever
friend OF Ireland would reproach and de
test any such deed.
