appeared the following editorial article:
The press OF the country is making unneces
sary fuss over the carving of one dynamiter by
another in O'Donovan Rossas Office in New
York. 1t would be blessing to the country Il
the whole dynamite lot were turned loose in
tightly fenced enclosure with butcher knives to
make highly seasoned Celtic hash of each other.
The motive for the assault upon Phelan Is hardly
worth specializing about. He may have been in
possession OF dangerous secrets, though il i
more probable that his pretended revelations
are conceited bombast OF the sort Pat Grove
and O'Donovan Rosa are fond Of emitting II
is more likely the dynamite crowd quarreled
over the division OF the Doodle they have
been accumulating for years from
misguided kitchen wenches for the humiliation
OF the British empire. The msu business of
these self sacrificing patriots is TO pass the hat
in America and kick up just row enough In Eng
land to serve as pretext for their assessments
here without Uringing any of them into danger.
The largest share of the contributions 20 into
their precious pockets, and this share is more
likely to have been the occasion OF the Phelan
carving than unythig else. IL they would all kill
each other over their spoils, the kitchen contri-
buttons would have served some good purpose
The above article so far as It relates to
dynamiters, is the sentiments of nine-tenths
of the Irish and Irish-American people both
in Ireland and America, for we
believe that every fresh outrage by
them. binds more strongly the hands
OF Our fatherlsnd, aud retaris the
work of the Irish leaders in the British par
lament. But The Pioneer Press could not let
slip the chance it had to insult the .Iri sh
maiden, and therefore proceeds to explain to
the benighted American people that tue fight
was over the Doodle, subscribed by misguided
kitchen wenches. Webster defines wench as
follows: "a low, vicious, coarse young wo-
man, drab. strumpet, black woman, a
colored female servant, a negress; and adds:
at is not AGGRESSION to talk OF b&wds in a
discourse upon wenches."
Is not the above article Q discourse In part
upon wenches, and does it not stigmatize the
Irish maid as Webster defines the word
wench.
Attention being called to the article pro-
test WAS sent 10 the editor of the
Il. P. By a subscriber, asking that the
paper be discontinued or a proper explana-
ton or correction be made.
In fridays issue of the p. p. appears the
following editorial:
A correspondent takes umbrage at the publi-
cation in the Pioneer Press OF certain excerpts
from the state press under the head Of 'sVoce
VI TIC SthlC IIcss, WHICH ne says are
and injurious TO the persons and interests re-
ferred TO, aud seems TO assume that in publish
ing them the Pioneer Press endorsed OF approved
the views they expressed. Our cores pondent
should understand that the Pioneer Press is u
newspaper; that its business IL 10 give the news
OF the day, and that an important part of the
news is what the country papers thiak OF public
matters. Accordingly, we pint the views of our
state exchanges on public questions, however
sta ply opposed TO our own, ami however enron =
eOus may believe tacm TO be-, simply as a
parG of the OF the day, and because 1t is al
ways our rule TO give everybody hearing who
may be disposed 10 reaect any phase Of public
opinion on current topics. The views of the
Pioneer Press are 10 be found in the editorial
columns only.
In the fourth line OF the above Is delib-
crate falsehood, the first article was not un-
der the head of "Voices of the State Press, -"
but au editorial article written In its own

editorial writer Of that paper, and in SO do

thing, but originated the sentiments himself.
The p. u. says 1t is always ready to give
everybody q bearing, why did it not publish
the protestl Instead 1t makes weak at
tempt to shift the responsibility on one of its
exchanges. 1t won't do. Such an insult as
the above never would have appeared,
think, in any of its exchanges. But, Mr..
Editor, the election is over and the p. p,
following the example OF the great Burchard,
must have fling at the Irish women as some
sat sfaction for their services In defeating the
Piumed Knight
The virtue and patriotism OF our women
is our great boast aud pride. They have aud
will continue 10 contribute to the cause of
Ireland, not as migOuided Wenches TO tlyna-
miters, but TO the legitimate cause, now be-
ing fought out by Parnell and his followers
IN the English parliament in a constitutional
manner. | deny that any Irish woman is an
alder or abettor of the dynamiters, | desire
10 call the attention OF all Irishmen sub
scribers Of the Pioneer Press, who may have
overlooked its editorial columns on Wednes-
day last, If they will continue TO support a
journal that will go cut of its way and at
tempt to cast such stigma upon Irish IN alden
hood. CITIZEN.
