DYNAMITE is strong to-day at 46c.
mxKEs ONE LOOK BACK.

MAKES ONE LOOK BACK.
The moguls of England are kicking
because they say they have positive in,
formation that the dynamite plots Of
which they have recently been made
aware have been Matched in America,
and are still being worked up here. We
have been given to understand that
parliament will demand that the authori-
ties of the United States interfere to put
stop to the propagation, Of dynamite
warfare. What steps our government
officials will take in the matter it is diff
fcult to surmise; but it Is certainly a
good British joke, to say the least, to
have England making appeals and de-
mands upon America for protection
against the efforts of her slaves to free
themselves. The snobs and dudes who
misrepresent US at Washington may be
worked up in their toadyism to royalty
to an acute sympathy for the uncomfort-
able position of European tyrants, but
the American people at large are GER
tainly in sympathy with the enslaved
and oppressed. and hopeful of their sue
cess in liberating themselves-by the
use of dynamite. or anything else. a
Old Uncle Sam must have set up a
roar of laughter, and Miss Liberty smiled
sarcastically when the first intimation
of the coming appeal, request, demands
or whatever It'll going to be, was waited
to them. They have been long enough
watching events in the worlds history
to see and hear "a thing or two, and
though they have been drugged and
blindfolded good deal of late years,
memory has not deserted them.
Our boys at school to-day are reading
the history of the United States, and
their minds are fascinated particularly
with the accounts of the Revolution,
which terminated in the freeing of our
great grand-fathers from British tyranny
lust what Ireland is struggling for now
The school books used to contain &C.
counts of how the British government
during that struggle, turned loose the
Indian savages upon the defenseless
women and children of our borders
and how that same humane government
offered rewards for scalpa. l don't
know whether the books used to-day
call attention to that civilized and hu.
name mode of warfare, or not. And ]
am not sure that they tell the truth
about the English-made and English,
equipped gunboat Alabama, which cut
such figure as a messenger OF. peace
and mercy during our civil war.
There are scores of such instances o.
England's international humanity, and
they all 20 to persuade one that it is the
duty of the government of tie United
States to set down upon the Irish refu'
gees in this country who have sworn, as
did our forefathers, to liberate their
country from the iron despotism OF aris
tocratic cut-throats and thieves.
1 deeply 'deplore the circumstances
j., which make dynamite fends," and the
damage caused by their action but, ir
the face of history and present facts, ]
cannot find sympathy for the British
government. She is to blame for the or
ganization of revolutionary party ir
her kingdom she is to blame that pet
tioners and constitutional agitators" fol
Justice have become fanatics; she isitc
blame that the Sons of Freedom bavt
been driven from their native land tt
take refuge in ''the land of the free anc
the home of the brave" and she mus
take the consequences.
1t is unnecessary to review the histor!
of British>tyranny over our forefathers
and it is needless to again tell the stor,
of IreIand's wrongs. These things ar
familiar to every citizen of America
and there can be but one opinion will
those who love Freedom and believe il
Justice. So, therefore, let the true mel
of America be prepared to do their dut.
in case the snobs at Washington ente
into collision with the aristocrats o
England to again give the lie to the prin
ciples upon which our government i
founded and to slap in the face our al
ready debauehed Queen of Liberty.
Let no narrow minded person constru
this article into an attack upon the En-
glish people as an entirety, for as such i
is not intended. The PEOPLE of Englan,
suffer as greatly from the tyranny Q
British despots as do any other. and t
them my sympathy goes out as strongl
as to the Irish and in them, to grea
extent, is founded the hope of ultimat
Freedom and Justice for the Irish a
well as themselves. .
LATER-Since writing the above Attol
ney General Brewster has issued a
order to federal officers all over tn
United States, telling them to investigat
the charges made by England, and I
prevent the shipping of explosives fror
this country to Europe,
i. / have nothing to add to the foregoini
