smarting as she is under centuries of OPP
preston, it is not in human nature that
Irishmen should forget ancient wrongs and
permit England to plead the statute of limi-
tation.
The sympathies Of Americans must neces-
sarily go out to Ireland. While we condemn
the work and the ambition of men like Rosa
we cannot refuse our approval of the work
and the ambition of men like Parnen. Ire
land, as her mightiest champion said, is the
saddest land the sun shines on, and the
greater part of her misery is due to English
misrule. Any honorable attempt to do away
with the evils inflicted upon her by misgov-
eminent, any proper measures to free her
from the tyranny of an alien race and an
unsymphathetic government, must receive
our approval. Our nation, born in the
throes of revolt, viii ever acknowledge the
ssdivine right of revolution"
What effect the action of the convention
will have upon Irish discomfort and English
stubbornness remains to be seen. This
much however is evident: 1t must necessari-
ly strengthen the arm of Parnell and aston
ish his foes. English rule has always had
its strongest hold in Irish quarrels; so the
spectacle of all the Irish factions uniting
without distinction of religion or section will
create profound impression. The dissen-
sions of clans and tribes, of provinces and
counties, are forgotten in the growing feel
ing of nationality. England, confronted
with united Ireland, and the greater Ire
land this side the sea, dare not much longer
refuse justice to the people she has so griev-
ously wronged.

trouble. On the LIST at II O'Clock in the
evening, he is in conjunction with Saturn,
being about four degrees north of him, and,
If the atmosphere be clear and the sky cloud
less, both planets may be seen with the help
OF an opera glass. Saturn is almost directly
south Of the Pleiades. Mercury Is about
halfway between the planet and the cluster,
ana SIX degrees north Of the sunset point
On the l4th, Mercury will set at about Q
O'Clock, nearly two hours later than the sun,
and the observer will find the beaming plan
