Further attempts have been made |
by the Irish dynamiters to blow up
public buildingsin London with great
err success than attended their former
efforts.
Two explosions took place Saturday,
one in the parliament building and
the other in the Tower, both doing
considerable damage to property and
infiicting serious IL juries on a number
of persons If the House OF Commons
had been in session at the time the
explosion took place, several of its
members would have been killed
The seat usually occupied by Glad
stone was torn to pieces.
The persons injured were mostly
visitors who CHANGED to be in the
buildings, some OF them women and
children. Two policemen .on duty at
the parliament building were severely
hurt
Much indignation has been express
ed over the dassardly outrage from all
parts of the civilized world, and reso-
luton has been passed by the
United States Senate discountenanc-
ing such diabolical procedures. Sena-
tor Edmunds has introduced bill for
the suppression of conspiracies for such
purposes in this country.
The Irish cause Is gaining no SYM
pathy by the adoption of such agen-
cies as these to combat the English.
Those who admired the heroism OF
Robert Emmett can hardly be brought
to endorse the tactics of 0Donnovan
Rosa.
We hope that Senator Edmunds'
bill will become law and that its ex-
ecution will be SO rigid as to drive all
the dynamite fiends from American
soil. Our country has always been
the refuge for Irish patriots who in
CURED the enmity of the British gov
eminent, but it should not be made
the rendezvous for assassins who con-
spire for the wholesale murder of in
nocent people and the destruction of
valuable property.
The whole civilized world, all hu-
manity, in fact, is interested in exter-
minating these fiends As an instance
of what the United States has to fear
from their growth in this country, we
give the following from the Associated
Press dispatches
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The usual weekly
meeting Of the Socialists was held this
afternoon. The meeting was presided
over by colored woman, the wife oil
A. r. Parsons, white man. Satur-
days explosions in London were the
principal theme of discussion, and the
speakers were unusually fierce and
bloOdthirsty in their advocacy OF the
use of dynamite. The London explo-
sions were characterized as great ad-
/ vertisement of the power of. the dyna-
miters. 1t was said that it showed the
ability OF the Socialists to go into large
crowds in broad daylight and explode
their bombs with perfect safety.

ton that the use of dynamite caused
the death of innocent persons, said that
the innocent must suffer for the good
of the great body. In the case of the
London explosion the machine was
set off in the House of Lords first in
order that the large number of persons
in the House of Commons might have
time to escape. Another said that a
little hogs grease and a little nitric
acid formed a very powerful COM
pound. Ten cents worth would blow
building to atoms. Another remark
ed that the body of dead capitalist
would serve the purpose as well as
that of hog. There were 5000 men
in Chicago who know how to manu-
facture dynamite in their own kitch-
ems for the price of a good dinner. 1t
was well known that the whole of Chi
cago could be set ablaze in moment
with electricity. 1t was suggested that
the Board of Trade and newspaper
Offices be attacked first Still another
speaker agreed with Gen. Sherman
that an army of 10000 men stood no
chance against few men with dyna-
mite
