The Observer says that the explosion
seems to belong to the ordinary category OF
dynamite outrages with which recent expe-
riences have made Ehglisbmen unhappily
familiar. 1t was perfectly useless crime
and led TO no practical result, beyond de-
stroylng a certain amount Of masonry. 1t
was not attended by loss Of life, yet IL is
obviou. that the perpetrators must have ar,-
ticipated the possibility q number OF in-
nocent human beings being subjected to
sudden and cruel death. The crime there
fore partakcs OF the character OF murder.
II j. difficult to conceive what possible end
or purpose the authors OF such outrages
hope 10 attain. The utter absence OF corre-
ation between cause aud effect mainly con-
firms the theory that these crimes are OF
Hibernian orgin.
