NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.
New York, May fth.-4The Tribune says
editorially The blood of the murdered ofis
cials cries to heaven. Not England alone,
but the whole world recoils in horror from the
CHASTITY spectacle of the mangled corpses in
the great pleasure ground of the Irish capital.
Whether the crime hos been planned and ex.
ecuted in frenzy or revolutionary hatred. or
in the wantobness Of miscalculated malev-
olousness, it is . disbolical outrage on modern
civilization. A catastrophe wrought by pig
miles, it is fraught with momentous conse.
quences to the English people and the Irish
race.
The Brooklyn Eagle says: Here we have
another illustration of how swiftly fools may
destroy what it has taken men ages OF patient
toll to build.
The Boston Herald says The news from
Ireland is very sad, very terrible and Of ex-
tremest moment. Foul assassination will re.
ceive nothing but abhorrent condemnation
from Davitt and Parnell, and we shall re-
ioice to hear that the Irish leaders have given
practical expression to their indignation by
proclaiming their condemnation of the COW.
ardly assassin.
Tne New York Times says There is in
this horribla event one suggestion that
America cannet regard without shame. 1t is
that brutal assassination, which disgraces Ire.
land and endangers the best interests of the
Irish, is in harmony with teachings Of certain
residents of this country, who have steadily
advocated it in order to fill their OVID pockets.
II men who directly plotted or executed the
murder of Lord Cavendish should suffer the
penalty Of their crime, there are those among
ourselves more guilty. because less daring,
who, if Justice were done, would share their
fate.
The New York Herald says: The murder

| The New York Sun says: There is some
thing appalling in the folly Of the crime
which was committed last night in Dublin,
and by which the bearers of message of
peace and good will were infamously done to
death. The effect which this act will have,
and perhaps was meant to have on the policy

| THE FEELING on THIS COAST.
SANTA Rosa, May 7sh.- The atrocious
assassination of Lord Cavendish and Secre-
tary Burke is greatly deplored BY the Irish
adopted citizens here, and the crime is unre.
servedly denounced.
| SAN Francisco, May 7tb.-The Gull will
| contain tomorrow interviews with Judge ID.
j. Toohy, Judge Ferral Rsv. Father Rooney
and several other prominent and representa-
| tive Irishmen, in relation to the assassination
of Lord Cavendish land Under Secretary
Burke. They denounce the crime as an
atrocious, horrible, uncslled-for murder I; that
in their opinion no member of the Land
League is connected ia any manner with the
assassination. -svz
Judge Toohy answered as follows to the
question of "Whst do you think will be the
result of the death of these men as regards
Irish AFFAIR."
81 believe that when the whole truth is
known, the kish people and leaders Of the
movement will stand better before the world
than ever, and that the cause of Ireland will
not be retarded in the least. In regard to
! the dispatch stating thai Parneil had said tho
Land League would never be revived, why,
| all I've got to say is that it has never shown
the slightest indication of death, and don't
see as there is any reviving necessary"
