1t is not improbable that dynamite may
become a common instrument OF VEN
geance. 1t meets exactly the wants OF
those who desire to inflict injury without
exposing themselves to much danger of
either the gallOws or prison. This, and
perhaps every other country, is full OF
people whe have grievance against in
dividuals or society. Not all who have a
grievance would commit crimes against
persons or property, but there perhaps
are people in almost every community
who would not hesitate to take life or
damage property to crafty feeling that
they had been wrOnged, provided they
could co so with comparative safety.
On Saturday night in New YORK an at
tempt was made to wreck valuable build
ings with dynamite. 1t is believed that
the guilty parties were discharged en-
plOves of the owner of the buildings. They
doubtless believed they had been wrOnged
in some way by their late employer, and
they undertook to make him suffer by de-
stroying his property. All will agree that
the attempt was cOwardly, but those who
did the deed htVe their sympathizers who
will defend th) just as there are those

Congo Diplomacy.

The part that this country is taking IN
the Congo conference doesn't appear to be
very clear. Congress doesn't seem to
know exactly what it is, and the CON-
municatiOn which the Secretary of State
sent to the House a day or two ago in
answer TO Mr.. BelmOnt's resolution OF
inquiry doesn't throw much light on it.
What certain members of the House
want to know is, why is this country
abandoning its long established policy of
not interfering nor meddling in any way
with European politics. The Secretary
Of State does not answer this question
further than to say that there is no pur-
pose to interfere in European politics. In
view Of the fact that Mr. KassOn, our
Minister to Germany, and Mr.. Stanley,
who is credited TO this country, have been
playing a very prominent part at tie con-
ference, it would be interesting to know
how the Secretary of State interprets the
action Of our representatives.
The aim Of the conference is to erect a
great State IN Africa. The scheme is
that Of an association known aSthe Congo
Association. 1t wants to get the sane
ton Of all the great powers to its under
taking. but for what reason doesn't clearly
appear. In order to get this sanction it
offered free trade with the proposed new
State to all the powers which took part in
the conference.
The President and the Secretary regarded
the chance a good one to extend the trade
ofthIs country, and as they were engaged
in extending the trade of the country by
means Of commercial treaties, Mr.. KassOn
was notified to appear at the conference.
There seems to be some trouble about
the boundaries Of the proposed State,
and Mr.. Kasson and Mr.. Stanley have
undertaken to define them. The trouble
arises, it is thought, from the fact tina,
/ the Congo Association and Portugal claim
the same territory about the mouths Of
( the Congo.
The position that the Secretary Of State
/ takes is that if European powers fall out
/ about the Congo territory this government
/ will be considered as having taken nc
\ part in the Congo conference, other than
/ having done a little talking. But can this
/ government take a position Of that kind
/ If it takes the benefits Of peace mustit not
share the cost Of war, and if so must it
/ not take sides and become mixed up in
| European politics?
1t would not be surprising if the send
/ ing Of Mr.. Kasson to the conference turn
/ ed out to have been a mistake. The Congo
country has no trade worth mentioning
now and is not likely to have any soon

who defend the dynamiters who recently
attempted to wreck the English Parlia-
ment buildings.
10 does not require any stretch OF
imagination to picture the condition OF
affairs that would exist in all civilized
countries if the idea that dynamite Is
remedy for real or fancied wrongs should
take firm hold of the dissatisfied elements
of society. It is apparent that the DAN
ger that this idea will become prevalent
is greater than we are willing to admit.
Every dynamite bomb that is exploded,
if those responsible for the eX-
plOsion are not arrested and pun
ished. encourages the secret and
unlawful use of dynamite. A couple
of years ago discharged or striking en-
ploves would not have entertained the
thought of attacking their employers
with explosives to bring them to terms or
to satisfy feeling of injustice, out it
seems that in New York, at least. that
thought is not only entertained but acted
upon. II may we'll be asked, how long
will it be before explosives VIII be used
in every part Of the country, not only by
those who have a grievance growing out
of labor troubles but also by those who
hate society, because they want a share
Of this worlds goods without working
for it?
It is the extent to which dynamite may
be unlawmlly used, as well as the mex
cusableness of its secret use in warning
upon individuals and society, that make
thinking men everywhere demand that
/ dynamIters shall be excluded from hu-
man sympathy, and that laws of the most
rigorous character shall be made for
! their punishment.

The Shooting Of Rosa

The shooting Of O'DOnOvan Rosa must
have caused something of a sensation in
London as we'll as in New York. He was
regarded as the leader of the dynamiters
in this country, but it was not known to
the public whether or not he had anything
to do with the dynamite Outrages.
A couple of weeks ago Capt.
Phelan, of Kansas City, who claims
to have been on terms of intimacy with
the dynamiters, but who, it is alleged,
was suspected of being false to them, was
attacked in ROssa's office by aman named
Short, and was very nearly stabbed to
death. ROssa's assailant is a woman,
and, according to the accounts of her fur
nshad by the dispatches, is young and
pretty. Rosa, when he gave his state
ment, did not know her motive in attack
ing him, or, if he did, he failed to make it
known. The woman was cool and self
possessed throughout, and appeared well
qualified to look out for her own interests.
The natural conclusion is that the shooting
of Rosa had something to do with Irish
troubles, but exactly what will be puz-
Zling until an explanation is offered. 2Re
attack on Phelan, followed by the attack
on Rosa, would seem to indicate that all is
not harmonious among those of the Irish
leaders in this country who seek to help
Ireland by violent, rather than by peace
full means.

Impressions of MIR. Cleveland.

During the late political campaign Mr..
Cleveland was called "a man Of destiny"
and he is now called "a man Of mystery"
His rise from Obscurity to the highest
political position in the world, without
apparently extraordinary mental gifts or
marked qualifications, has been so rapid as
to excite establishment, and in his present
position he is certainly proving that he
knows when to talk and when to remain
silent.
Notwithstanding the efforts that are be-
Ing made to find out his purposes with
regard 20 his Cabinet no one is able to
say that he knows what they are. The
party leaders who have been invited
to a conference with him say that he
knows how to ask questions and to get
the information that he wants, but that
he is not confidential nor communicative.
The reason that Messrs. Bayard, Garland.
German. Randall, Carlisle and others,
who have talked with him, have not given
any indication OF what his intentions are
is probably because they don't know any
thing about them. They simply know
that they answered questions asked by
Mr.. Cleveland, but they cannot recall.
probably, anything Ct Importance which
he communicated to them.
Mr.. Cleveland is acting wisely in keep
ing his Owr counsel. lie could not make
a greater mistake than To make known
the gentlemen who will form his Cabinet
before he IS ready to send their names to
the Senate. Some, if not all, of them
would be criticised in a way that would
not be pleasant, and petty jealousits
might give rise to many unjust remarks.
When the nominations are made, how
ever. the knowledge that there is no
probability Of efTecting a change will
silence Jealous and it may be sIanderous
tongues.
All who have visited Dir. Cleveland
since his election express their surprise
at the quick and comprehensive intelli-
gence that he displays, and their graft
tication at the strength and nobility of
his character. lie is a much greater man
than they thought him TO be, or else they
do not tell the truth respecting their i'm
pressiOns of him. 1t is probable that
they say what they think, and that Mr..
Cleveland is well qualified to give the
country an administration that will rank
with the best the country has ever had.

Mr.. Sncer's Nomination.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate
does not act on Emory Speers appoint
ment with the prOmptness that was pro-
missed. The delay means danger to Mr..
Speer. Tae committee wants To know all
about Mr.. Speer, and it is willing TO wait
until the peOple Of Georgia have been
fully heard. Senator COlquitt appears to
have entered upon the work of defeating
Mr.. Speer's confirmation with his coat
off and his sleeves rolled up, as 1t were.
If he should be successful the people Of
this State viii have additional reason for
remembering and hOnOring him.
He has not, however, an easy task. The
disposition Of the Republicans is, doubt
less. to confirm Mr.. Speer, and they are in
the majority. Senator Brown, who IS
understood to be Mr.. Speer's chief friend,
is not only the senior senator, but he Is
one Of the shrewdest workers and politi-
clans in the country. II, therefore, Sena-
tor Colquitt wins the fight he will win
against great odds.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Augusta Chronicle, who doubtless re-
fleets the sentiments of Senator Brown,
SAYS that opposition to Mr.. Speer for
political reasons. i'm the presence OF
Republican President and Republican
Senate. is an extreme of folly, sure to
meet with retaliation in case Of any thing
like success" This is inten led, perhaps,
to silence opposition, but it will fail to
accomplish that. The people of this dis
trict and this STATE will lot silently
accept a Judge they don't want, for fear
that by speaking out in manly fashion
they NAV invite retaliation from Repub-
lican Senate.

facts are, but it would seem as if the

There is a good deal of foolish talk to
the effect that the Committee of the House
Of Representatives has pigeOn-hOled the
anti-dynamite resolutions for fear that
offense may be given to Irish voters
throughout the country. The denuncia-
tion OF the London outrages by the better
class OF Irishmen has been prompt and
unmistakable, and no one appears to
envy Riddleberger the sympathy of the
dynamiters. So far as the resolutions are
concerned, they can do no good, and
Congress has no time to waste just now
with sentimental gush Of any kind.
