"TRE DYNAMITE POLICY"

THE DYNAMITE Ys''
 The Irish are getting great deal of advice nowadays, and some of them are much in need of good advice. For instance, those who are attempting to bring the English gov ernmsnt to terms with dynamite need to be told that they are injuring the cause they profess to serve. MT. Jennings, the well in- formed London correspondent of the New York World, writes that it is only the fulfil ment of plain duty to warn the dynamite leaders that they are preparing terrible doom for their own countrymen. He pre- diets that the next serious explosion, especial ly if it involves the sacrifice of ife will be followed by war against the Irish in Eng land, carried on by the workmen, and ex- tending after time over the whole country. Towards that, he says, 'ithe spirit of the peo- pie is very clearly tending. Ireland will not be redeemed but hundreds and perhaps thousands, of innocent men and women will be set upon by furious mobs, and driven out of the contingencies they meet with fate still worse. This will be the inevitable result of few more such occurrences as that in Parliament street, and it will be well for the directors of the organization to pause mo- ment and consider whether 1t is worth while to work so hard to compass the ruin or de- struction of Irish men and women living in England"
 Instead of attempting to slay the present Prime Minister MT. Jennings thinks that the Fenian leaders ought to pray, in the old He- brew manner, that he may live forever. He has, continues Mir. Jennings, brought the English people to look the question of Irish independence in the face. He has accustom- ed them to hear and see the thing discussed as one of the probable events of the future, although he has done it by a roundabout process. That, however, is his way of doing everything. He has given the Irish to un- derstand that by agitating and by producing such incidents as the Clerkenwell explosion, almost everything may be brought within the domain of practical politics." and he has done much, very much, to make the English people feel weary of Ireland and her wrongs, and to wish secretly for some meth cd of delivering themselves from them. Hay. ing conducted both nations thus far towards separation, the destruction of towns or cities can have no other effect than to exasperate the English people, and to make them re- solve that, as all the ncessions into which they had been entrapped by their "states- men" are useless, and worse than useless, they will get rid of MT. Gladstone and his wild schemes of government, conquer Ire- land again and rule it with rod of iron. This will come of the dynamite policy" as surely as the sun will rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow.
 What Mir. Jennings says about the effects of the dynamite policy is cerroborated by others who know England and the English. Every true friend of Ireland will do all he can to discourage that policy. Possibly one more explosion would not be sufficient to arouse the English against the Irish. but it would not take many more. and when the English are thus aroused 1t will be very bad for the Irish.
