WHAT American irirhlmeu Have To say
About IL.
The New York papers publish inter
views with Irishmen in the city in rcla-
tion to the London explosion. O'Dono-
van Rossa said of the explosion: ut wus
a deliberate attempt, well planned and
well executed, to blow up the Govern
ment buildings, to indicate to England
that she had better give up the attempt
to govern Ireland You will notice that
it was done at an hour when it would
cause no loss of innocent life. We do
not wish to harm hair Of the head of
any man simply because he is an English
man. We are at war with the English
Government not with the people. 1 am
only astonished that the work was not
more destructive
Mr.. Z. j. Sheridan, the hero of the |

own utterances when he disendowed the G
Church in Ireland, cannot f
help thinking that such action will in C

Ireland her rights" {,
''What viii the Land League doabout

Il am free to state that neither the a
English Government. nor the Land tc
league, nor any other authority that v
an be brought to bear on the Irish in W
relnd can prevent our people from pay 2,

very means and method within their O,
