~ she is il Is evident that the elements
of discomfort are increasing in her
realm and if the truth must be told,
she is afraid to stir out of London for
fear some successful plot would end in
her assassination. The Gar Of Russia
wants TO 90 to Moscow in May to be
coronated, but he is afraid to leave his
palace for fear of the deadly dynamite
that killed his father, and trembles
even on his throne though surrounded
by Il Gordon Of loyal soldiery. The news
informs us that he has created force
of forty thousand special police to guard
him in his journey from Petersburg to
Moscow, and even with all the prccau
tions that have been taken, dynamite
plots have bee II discovered to blow up
the palace. Large numbers Of men
and women of Russia have been con-
demned TO death for engaging in dyna-
mite plots, and they have met their fate
gladly and willingly.
No martyrs for IA righteous cause ever
surrendered their lives more willingly
and still there are hundreds more who
are pressing on in the SAME codrsr de
flying the scatiold and the guil!otine,
These people who suffer are not of the
ignorant class of society, but on the con-
trary are educated and intelligent.
T here has never been question raised
in regard to their sanity, and yet they
engage indynamite Conspiracics, manu-.
facture dynamite and throw dynamite
balls and in the face Of certain DEATH
they are ready to throw more at the
first good opportunity What must be
the condition of u government where
such state Of affairs exist How
terrible must be the oppression that
good and intelligent men and women
will strike down oppression, even though
they should be dragged t. prison and
death Immediately. In Great Britain
with So good sovereign as Queen
Victoria the situation is no better. OPP
preston OF the Irish chiefly is he order
of the day. Every act of parliament
but biads the chains tighter and begets
increased hatred against the govern
meIt. England should wake up to the
fact that i'll these days Of advanced
Thought, enlightenment and education Il
nation ike the Irish IN country OF
their own, Il religion of their own and
with an Unborn hatred of tyranny, can
not be kept in SUbject;on, by harsh
measure Does England not see that in
the face of repreSslvc laws, sending
scores of men to the scaiiorId hundreds
more are pressing on and taking their
places Does she not SEE that every
true lrlShman that really loves Irish
unity i. an enemy"
Filling ireland with al army of arm
ed police can never modify that deep
seated hatred OF English rule. The
Irish want government ofthcir own,
IWhy should thcyuot have it? 1t j.
none Of England's business what kind
Of Il government the Irish should adopt
Tor themselves, they ar" Il nation and
should choose the government that suits
them best. This privilege the Arneri-
can colonies got after fighting for it for
ri-ht years, Echold, wAata Rcpubli-
can structure has sprung from that
eight years fight. II is not only the
wonder Of the eighteenth century, but it
is the admiration Of all true friends of
liberty and the fear Of drspots. Ireland
may not choos" such a iorm Of govern
mrnt bat that is neither the business Of
England nor America, She is entitled 10
the kind of government she chooses for
herself.
The plaques with which Pharoah
four thousand years ago was afflicted
have their ideal in the dynamite plots
of the present. The command comes in
fOrcih!e language, " let my people 60. v
VIII England and Russia like the
Egyptian King harden their necks and
shut their ears to the cry and like him
be involved in irretrievable ruin? Just
at this time there is general COndcm-
nation Of the throwing of dynamite
balls and placing magazines of it under
public buildings and we join in that
condemnation. Dynamite balls are
ugly things to throw prOmisciously
around II may be very properly
asked, what can these oppressed PEG
pie do il their own behalf? If they
meet III mass meeting to denOunc,
Tyranny aud ask for their rights, they
are surrounded by al army and hustle,
of to prison.
They have not even arms H. enabl
them I" ris" up and resist their OppreS
sOrs az the American colonies did. The,
are living scrf- and slaves, kept in sub
LECTION by the bayonet. Every move
mcpt il watched, and at tn" heel, q
every man who has any independence
