LONDON IN FEAR OF DYNAMITE.
LONDON, March 19.-The explosion
on Thursday night in Parliament
street has created a feeling Of great
uneasiness, End public opinion in
stinctively fastens the responsibility for
the attempt to destroy the government
Offices ON Irishmen. Mr.. Smalley, in
his cable letter to America, says:
Nearly every journal recognizes this
outrage as the Irish answer to Mr..
Gladstone's refusal to grant Mr.. ParnelPs
demand for further land-legislation.
Scientific investigation disproves the
theory of q gas explosion, and estab-
fishes the certainty that dyna-
mite or a similar material was
alone capable of producing such
complete destruction over an area 20
limited. Prof. Huxley describes the
floor of the room where the main force
was exerted as resembling she bottom
of cigar-boK through which q man
had dashed his fist. The spot selected
indicates 10th the ignorance and cow
ardice of the authors of the plot, as it
may be safely presumed that they in
tended to destroy the home Office, which
Irish agitators regard with peculiar ami
mostly as the center Of police authori-
ty. This adioins the local government
Office, but fronts on Whitehall q
broad street where the traffic is fre-
quent at all hours, while Charles street,
where 10 the entrance to the LEGAL
government Office, is almost deserted
at night. The actual damage done
was not great, though, from the inn
mense number of windows broken,
the ecene appears one of great de-
struction The attempt upon the
Times Office was undoubtedly made by
the same gang. The tone Of the Fog
lish press and people in the presence
Of such an Outrage ID dignihed and
resoIute. The Times well expresses
the general sentiment, renarking that
It does not altogether regret that the
Irish irreconcilables have once more
shown their hard, as the public viii
know what it has to deal with; for,
If dynamite becomes the accept
ed Instruments of Irish politics, the
day of remedial legislation is over.

same thing. Everybody perceives the
reality of the danger from which mo-

A FARMER of Sandy Creek, Oswego

.Scndte-The express bill was the spec
lal order and consumed the entire day.
This bill had passed the assembly with
but one dissenting, vote and providedithat
express companies should be taxed 2 per
cent of their gross earnings.
Sen. Flint then briefly reviewed the
history of the bill, showing how it had
passed the assembly with but one dissen-
ing vote. 1t had then come into the SEN
ate, where it had been banded about
among committees, where eminent coun-
ell for the express companies had argued
against the constitutionali:y of the bill,
He then read from several decisions sf the
courts to show the power of the state TO
impose the proposed license.
Sen. Flint's argument covered the con-
stitu:ionsl point thoroughly and was am
ply sustained by court decisions. To
meet the objection raised that the bill
would work con6scation, the seua or
quoted the law imposing special license
taxes on insurance and railroad corpora-
tiona He contended that the principle
in volved in the bill was precisely the
same as that Incorporated in laws al
