REV. DIR. MCGLYNN, OF NEW YORK,
ON THE LATE LONDON EXPLOSION.
The early reports of the dynamite ex-
plosions in London spread like wild
fire throughout the city. and the Irish
Nationalist everywneTe discussed the
event. The news was viewed from diff
ferent standpoints, and the expressions
of opinion were as varied as the number
of persons giving utterance to them.
To reporter for the World, Rev. Faith
er Edward McGlynn, of st Stephens
church, said However much L may
be in sympathy with the suffeTings of
the people In Ireland. and however much
I would like to see them in q better
condition. | certainly do not approve of
the mode of warfare that is being waged
in their behalf in England, l think il
is outrageous, dastardly and cowardly
in the extreme. 1t is high time it was
met by strenuous and effective measures
laws enacted by the National Legisla-
ture, that will forever put an end to
these attacks on the innocent people of
England. 1t is simply wanton waste
of human liVes-innOcent lives of men,
women and children, that are no more
responsible for the unhappy condition
of poor ireland than new born babe,
"Why it wOald be equally justiiable
if some hot-beaded Englishman were to
come over here and, to avenge some per
sonal grievance against the United
States Government. were to blow up
Rosa and his office on Chambers street,
and, for that matter, thOughtlessly in
clude some of the municipal bnildings
adjacent to it. There wOnld be no more
in, N
our public buildings aud thereby endan-
gering the lives of hundreds Of innocent
people who happened to be in them,
than there is for these men that pretend
| to be friends of Ireland ard to be labor
| ing in her interest to caTTy their war
| fare into the heart of England and sac.
rifice the lives of those least to blame.
! They will never accomplish anything by
such barbarous warfare"
- Whom do you suppose is directly re-
sponsiOle for this state Df affairs in Eng
| land? ROssa prides himself on having
| given England a good scare"
" ROssa and his adheTents are, in my
/ opinion, assuming a great deal and ia
/ king a very heavy burden upon them
! selves, for which they should be made
! to answer, when they give the public to
! understand that they have been pTivy to
! the OutIages committed in Engla and
| thus scatter tie seeds of rebellion and
comunism. 1 am satisfied from abund.
| ant information that has come to nIe
! from many sources that this dynamite
talk and repeated trivial explosions are
| merely done for the purpose of bleeding
| and extOrting from the friends Of Ire
| lard, whose hearts are really in the
cause, money with which these uHprin
l PintE6 anif a foot hprinn
own nests. 1t is the talk aud work oi
men who have, not Ireland's oppressed
condition at heart, but who have some
! thing to sell, something to dispose of
in their wn interests. These men would
! not scruple to sell out poor Ireland Il
the English government if the opport d
nitY offered itself. They are coward
ly, murderous set of men, that are 10y
al to neither 10 Ireland. England nor Il
the Uuited States, having only one mo
tive in view, and that is their own per-
sOnal mercenary gain. They are mel
in whose hands l should not care to risl
my life. They think nothing OF taxing
innocent lives. The recent attempt Il
asSassinate the man Phelan is All indica
tiOn of what kind of men these dynam
tiers, or professed friends OF ireland
are. 1t looks now AS if they, like tn,
Kilkenny cats, were about to Kill eacl
other, and if they did SO, do not thiEl
there are many Americans or English
men, and very few sensible and we'll
meaning Irish people, who would she,
tears over the result"
- DO yOu not think that these repeat
ed dynamite scaIes in England vii
have a damaging effect on Mr.. PaTnell'
work, and tend to reJard. or Illustrate
the movement in behalf of Ireland en-
tiTely ? -
II do not exactly understand tb
work which Mr.. Parnell has in hand
but whatever it is, | lave no doubt it i
for She welfare Of Ireland, he hayin
his whole heart in the matter. That
will suffer materially from these dast
ardiv Outrages there is no question. y
