MR.. BEECHER ON THE USE OF DYNAMITE

Some comment was OccaslOned yesterday by inc
strong language of Mr.. Beecher in his impassloned
speech at the DINNER of the Friendly Sons of ST.
Patrick. ON Monday evening. Great enthusiasm
prevailed throughout its delivery and many sem
fences were broken by applause before they were
concluded. The tenor of MIR. Beechers remarks
was vehementy in opposition to the cowardly
methods adopted by The dynamite advocates. Con
siderable surprise manifested therefore, IN diff
ferent portions of the when, III burst OF ei0-
Quence, Mr.. Bcecher was understood to declare:
When consider people left TO right themselves by
any such means of violence, say they have right 10
use whatever weapons their ignorance puts into their
hands.
This implied justification of the use of dynamite
being at variance with the speakers previous re-
marks and generally accepted views on the subject,
TRIBUNE reporter called upon MI. Beecher yester-
day. In answer to question MIR. Bcecher saldi
did not say that they had a right TO use whatever
weapons their Ignorance put into their hands. what
meant 10 be understood saying was thai did not Won
der at their ignorance by which they are surrounded
they should resort such means OF violence had pre-
ylosy said that the 5Oolastc and Nihso ideas pre-
yang AL over the continent Of Europe could not meet
the approbaton OF any rghtthnking man. l had SAID
too that the ideas did find their birth IN Ireland
but among the people suffering under the despoo govern
ments Of Europe. No, lido not justify the use OF dy nne
but 30 not wonder In the condition OF Things eAlsnf
among the ignorant classes, that they should Dc leu
to the adoption OF such means.
