Sunday telegraph. We are glad
to see that the friends of Mr.. Vice
President Hendricks are busily en-
gagged in an endeavor to patch up a
record for loyalty to his govern
ment for that gentleman. A month
ago one Of the patchers wrote a
nice notice, showing how patriotic
Hendricks had been, and said the
notice had James G. Blaine for its
author. That romance was run in
to a hole, but others have run out,
one being a statement credited to
Abraham Lincoln, wherein that
great man is made to say that Hen
bricks had been good to his admin.

makes a pretty little story, very
pretty, and it has this advantage
over the one credited to Blaine
the only reliable witness by which
it is possible to prove its truth or
falsity, is dead-kille by John
Wilkes Booth. But he is a wretch
who does not hope that Mr. Hen
bricks friends will finally succeed
in placing before the public I'M

the government during the war. 1t

THERE is something appalling, and
yet awakening a less serious senti-
ment, in the outrages which are
perpetrated by the dynamite con
spirators in England. Last week
they attempted to wreck two passing
trains Of cars on one Of the under.
ground street sailways of London.
There was probably not an individ-
ual within miles of the spot who had
ever offended in thought, word or
act any interest or any person con.
nected with the perpetrators Of the
outrage. 1t was a wanton and indie
scribably wicked exercise of the
spirit of destruction and murder.
That a crazed and reckless sufferer
from official oppression and outrage
might seek revenge against the per
son 10y whom he had been made to
suffer, or against the government
of which he had been the victim,
is Ineligible, and the impulse
which leads 20 crime under such
circumstances is not an unnatural
one. But that mere indignant
crauks, who were never wronged
by any man i'll power or out of
power, should, TO accomplish onl,
political ends, commit crimes like
this -cudaugerlug or sacrificing the
hives of vast througs of innocent
people, and wantonly destroying
personal property of immense value

startling features Of the times. If

could be explained But crime of
this character retards instead of ac-
celebrating Irish emancipation, dis
graces and degrades the Irish cause,
