THE bitterest enemies of Ireland can not wish her
heavier deadlier blow than would surely fall if the
hitherto comparatively harmless attempts of the In
vincbes should be followed by wholesale destruction
of life and property The worst tyranny Ireland has
ever endured from England would be mild and benevo
lent compared with the iron yoke which English
hands would rvet upon Irish necks. While such ia
natical knaves and fools as ODonovan Rosa and his
associates boast of the blessings which dynamite will
bring to Ireland they show stupendous ignorance of
English nature and of the darkest lessons in Anglo
Irish history.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

hemispheres together in a common duty to humanity,
and the technical shelter of written laws will be

the world will witness the spectacle of nation
that sympathizes with Ireland standing up for law and
humanity with the nation which Expresses ireland.

Recent events illustrate in the cearest manner tho
futilty and folly, well the inquity. of all such
methods; for they make it plain to the in

pliances and that the glitter of such temptations is
only that of the tabled fairy money which the
