land, creates considerable comment in
this city. While every one Is OPP
posed 10 risking innocent lives, the
general sentiment among the Sympa'
thixsrs Of Ireland is that the Irish are
jus fled 10 carrying tbe-war into
Atricg" that any course adopted BY
those Irishmen desir0us of seeing
Ireland free from the yoke of British
tyrany Is Unsuitable, even to using the
mask of night and the dagger or dgna
mite; or anything else to accomplish
their purpose. all agree with history

tyrant in Ireland, aud merely holds
possession of Erin BY force Of arms,

word, the Irish of Chicago have no
good feeling for EOgland, and never

land Your correspondent believes
like Napoleon. that Providence is on
the side OF the heaviest artillery; and
that as war virtually exists between
England and Ireland, Providence will
be on the side of those battling for
freedom il they use considerable
dynamite. 1t is a bad policy 10 kill
or tools Of tyrants. The
employer is the one to silence. The
rapid killing of a few head tyrants
would make freedom easier in Europe.
