THE promisouOus explosion of dynamite in
buildings occupied or liable to be occupied by
men aud women and children whose only Of
tense Is that they belong to hated race or To n
hated class Is an act of savagery which civilized
nations can neither endure nor paaIe.-NeW

POLITICAL ideas and political influences can
never be removed from the capital, and no sem
slDle man wishes TO see them disappear there,
Dnt thorough reform of the civil service will
decrease the power of the baser elements and
clear the atmosphere that higher and purer

THE way to kill the lottery business is not to
suppress information in regard to IL, but TO ex-
pose all it's workings and show the people what u
ridiculous farce Is the spectacle of ten twenty

money into the hands Of mon Interested only in
getting the money aud using it to their own ad-
yantage.-ChicaSo Inter Ocean.
THE appeal for investments will hardly prove
taking In this country among believers in the
Salvation Army. The American looks out for u
much more tangible security than "Christian
faith before he invests his hardly earned dol
lars, and he usually. too, Keeps his religion and
his pocket separate, and suspects the man who
seeks 10 make them out the same thne.-New

TO the opposite extreme and assumes to cOerce
the subjection of The appetiteS to mere statutory
enactments.-Ch Tribune.

greatness and that respect to her people which
is for many things their due, one blow of manly
war would bring the press OF America out
blazing win red-hOt sympathy for ireland where

THE feeling of the American people and of re-
spectacle Irisbmen toward their dynamite
friends should be such as throng feels toward
u mad dog. or society toward murderers and in
eendiaries. That they have not made themse yes

and sending others into crime. Their DIRK is
making the Irish cause abhnrred; is expusing
lrishmen at home and in England To danger; is
aggravatng the woes of Ireland, and is giving
this Nation bad fame in all the civilized world.
