BEECHER ON THE DEED.
New York, May 7.-Henry Ward
Beecher, in preaching to-day on the as
sassination in Phoenix Park, Dublin.
said: eff Parnell and his coadiutors
will run side by side with Gladstone and
the Government the blood of Lord Cav
endish will be bond of reconciliation.
Within the circuit of few years have
persisted Lincoln the martyr, the Car of
Russia. the matyr, the President of the
United States, the martyr, and now the
representative of imperial Great Britain
also the martyr. In this case murder
comes with peculiar pathos The VIC
tim was young and accomplished min
lister of mercy with an olive branch.
He fell by the cowardly attack upon an
| unarmed man. 1t is natula that the
| first wild cutlery of all nations should be
to crush those who perpetrated the out
rage. But indignation must not rule
us. Itseems to be the burst of the blind,
unreasonable fury Of a few against the
government. In stabbing Cavendish
they thought they struck the very throne
itself. For 500 years Ireland has been
crater and caldron with fires I'M
quenched. The harness of the govern
ment put upon Ireland has rasped and
hurt it. The murder of Lord Cavendish
was not from concerted action, but
from an unreasoning impulse. 1t will
tend to enrage all peoples. England
will rock from side to side with indigna-
ton. If Parnell and his coadiutors are
wise they will join their whole force to
the government.

day. Rosa said that he had an opinion.

Mr.. Ford, of the Irish World, in his
own name and in behalf of the thousand
branches of the Land League in the
