ON HIS MUSCLE.

Congressman Captain John f. Finerty of
Chicago Throttles the British Lion and
Makes Him Hang His TaiI-In His Paper,
the Language Being Pretty Strong.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-The Citizen, whose
editor is John F. Finerty, member of con-
gress, aided in originating the Parnell
fund, and the large fund which was used in
the defense of ODonnelI, contains a lead
ing editortisl in its current issue on the
conviotion Of O'Donnell, and declares that
as the result of the trial the party
of violence will henceforth be
the supreme one in Irish politics. The pa
per declares that O'Donnell's killing of Ca
rey was the boldest engagement of history,
and the most honorable, and his conviction
by the usual English hanging jury and the
inevitably partisan English judge has put
an end forever in the Irish mind to all
hope of even ordinary justice from Eng
lishmen. After declaring it will never
again raise cent to defend any Irishman
in British court of law, ard never con-
tribute or advocate the contri-
button of any more money
unless it be for the purpose of striking
terror in the demon heart of the over
grown bastard that hesitRtes at no crime
to maintain her ubiquitous power, and
never fails to whine abjsctly when forces
superior to her own are applied to make
her quail. The editorial says, O'Donnell
will no doubt be hanged on December II.
As the Irish race has failed to
save him it must not fail to
avenge him, The editorial further
declares that England shows no mercy,
and that Ireland viii NO longer show any
and that while England points to her ships
and cannon. Ireland may point and that
soon to the wreck Of the parliament build
ings and the ruins of st. PauI's, and sug
gests that New Zealander may yet be
seen on the London bridge trying to cross
it On planks.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 81 en-
dorse every word of that article, said
Representative Finerty tonight, after
perusal Of the editorial concerning O'Don-
nell in his paper in Chicago to-day.
"Now l speak," he continued, as an Ameri-
can journalist and not as congressman.
O'Donnell,if he has to die,will die in glory
His case has aroused the sympathy, not
only Of the Irieh-Amsrican citizens, but
also Of ali the people of the United States.
A great howl is going up from the entire
country at the outrageous action of Eng
land. The judge before whom the prison
er was tried-by Joye, whoever
heard such nonsense as his?
Pontius PLATE was an honorable
man compared to him. This trial has
given party violence the supremacy in
Ireland. There are five million people in
Ireland without arms, and they are pre-
vented by England from going on the
field of battle where conflict might en-
what is left them to do. Why, just what
many American people would If placed in
a like condition. They would resort to
violence and take the means to accom-
piish the ends, es small man would in
his attempt to whip John Sullivan. In nay
opinion the Irish will act on thsir own be-
half and destroy not only the English par

am opposed to raising more money for
aiding the trial of prisoners. O'Donnell's
trial has been farce. To ask more mon
ey for continued similar trials would be
dishonest. No hope of fairness nor just
ness from an English court can be enter
tanned" ''By the postponement of the
time of execution, what will be gained?"
was asked. eff the president asks the
sentence postponed for a time, England
will no doubt grant the request, for she
will not desire to Offend America. The ev-
idenoe CT O'DonreIl being an American
citizeu will then have to be secured and
an opportunity sought for giving him a
fair trial, / don't want war for our navy
is not il condition for a conflict, but do
want justice for O'Dopnell. It looks, how
ever, that he will hang at the time set for
the execution unless this government can
interfere. The alleged civilization of
England may consider the moral resent
ment of America.
