Once again to the 'front.' In the lem
toCRAT OF the 18th inst, ! notice and
read Mr. Terence McGuire's Hercules
the Mild'' reply to my article IN your
issue Of the 18th inst Since tn the an. an,
thorityp I gave on the use OF Dynamite
is not considered good, shall give you
an authority that is just to the liking OF
all Lords of English rule: You may
uame it Mr. Terence Mcclure. Here it
lis direct from England:
ssIn the British House of Lords, Lord
Barbourn inauired whether it was cor
rect that the Transvaal Beers had been
employing dynamite against the native
troops. In reply Lord Derby confessed
he did not attach much Importance to
the report. Whether true or not "he
did not see that there would be any less
humanity in the employment of Dyna-
mite than gunpowder." He added
the only case in which dynamite had
been used was in certain operations
against the chief who had not remained
faithful to the British governments and
who had steadily refused to pay taxes
That's British reasoning for you Be
cause man would not pay taxes to the
English it is quite ri ght to blow him 20
atoms with dynamite; and this LORD
Derby is a member of the British cabi-
net. That's English logic, not mine. or
is it a "whimsicality," "cyclone,' a
three-legged stool But collecting tax
by the force OF dynamite, that's English
civilization. You should get down on
your knees and offer thanks to God. like
England has always done when she
succeeded in destroying the weak ana
Innocent. The Irish dynamiters hold
aloof and above the hell-born acts that
England has been guilty of. No sir, the
Irish dynamiters will never injure an
innocent party it possible to avoid II,
but at the same time England has set
the precedent as history fully attests.
She must abide the consequences, and
Mr.. Terence Mcclure, Gladstone saws
England never conceds anything to
Ireland except when moved to do SO by
fear.n That is true and the dynamiters
know it, and with dynamite they will
produce that fear, regardless of you Mr..
Terence Mcclure or Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan
or others that believe in England's
cursed rule of Ireland. Oh, my did
Mr.. O'Shane know that the New YORK
Worlds subscribers We're largely OF
irish birth or influence No they are
not. The New York World has been,
until it recently changed hands. and out
and out free trade journal, published in
the INTEREST," OF English manufacturers
and merchants. Remember your noble
Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan and all the Irish agi-
triots advised the Irishmen on this side
of the Atlantic to Boycott all English
goods to the greatest possible extent.
MY dear sir; the New York Sun and IN
fact the greater number OF the. most
popular and ligh-toned journals IN the
more so than the New York World, and
I am truly proud to say that there are
some newspapers in the Sunny South
noble and generous enough to side with
the Irish cause. Mr.. Mcclure do Irish
men and those largely of Irish birth
and influence" subscribe for and support
all these papers, besides the aid they
give to very large number OF Irish Pc
riodicals, journals, etc., 1t so the Dem
ocratic party had better pull down its
free trade banner and raise the duty on
the dynamiters platform, but please ex-
cuse me for telling you little, just a
little political fact, / did not intend it,.
&syVar is conducted under certain forms
sanctioned by the law of nations" Is
itP Very good, read the following Z:
Gladstone threatens the Irish with the
resources of civilization here is one
of hundred or more from "O'Connel's
Memoirs of Ireland County Cork,
1642, at Clennakitty, about two hundred
and thirty weight men, women and emil
dren were murdered, of which number,
seventeen children were taken by the
legs by soldiers who knocked out their
brains against the walls.n That's war
sanctioned by the claw of nations" The
history OF GladstOnes government OF
Ireland in the last few years warns us
that Gladstone is just as blood thirsty
towards the Irish as Cromwell was.
England has sown the seed that will yet
bring her to respect the nations she has
