THE OTHER SIDE.

1t will be remembered that on
Senator Bavald's resolution tina:
our people had heard with pro
found sorrow and indignation, of
the attempt to blow up Parliament
buildings IN London, but one Sena-
tor voted against it, viz. Riddle
berger of Virginia. In speaking
against it he said "IIo could say
that he received such information
with profound sorrow, but lie
could not always say it was with
'ipdignation.' We could not, he
said, be expected to approve all the
methods of the Irish people, but
While we are ourselves preparing
and experimenting with dynamite

to down people in the ocean, it
scarcely becomes us to say that a
people who do not constitute
20 ;ernment, and can not make a
proclamation of war, shall not use
the same instruments Of war that
we would use under the same cir
cumstances. lie (Riddleberger)
repeated that he did not approve
these methods; 'but we all know,
said he, that there is war between
England and Ireland-absolute
war, so far as Irishmen without a
government could make it. We
are so neutral here, he continued,
that some senators think we ought
not to dig a ditch alluding to the
Nicaraguan canal, without the
consent Of England so neutral
that we could not give an opinion
about anything regarding England,
except an adverse opinion about
poor, struggling Ireland"
Bayard's resolution did look
little like a plea of mot guilty"
before arraignmen:.

EVERY dependency of England
is privileged with home govern
ment, save Ireland, including Au-
stralia aud Canada. For seven
hundred years Ireland has been
kept under the iron heel of John
Bull. From one of the greatest
and most prosperous manufacture
ing marts in the world, it has been
reduced to a territory of slaves
where poverty and distress in its
abiect form, exists. No people on
earth are so attached to their ma
tive soil as the Irish, yet it's popu-
lation has dwndled from twelve to
five millions, and Il large proper
ton of its business men are OF for
eign extraction. Ireland wants a
home government. England re-
fuses the boon craved Tor. Inc
yoke placed upon the neck of the
I1sh is not padded. lts weight is
CALLING and crushing. Justice will
not forever sleep. Whan Victoria
dies, and her scapegrace son takes
the reins Of government in his
hands, the right will assert itself,
and public sentiment of the world
will shake the throne with more
terrioIc ahock than did dynamite
shake cstminater Hall the other
day. Justice sometimes sleeps,
but itncvcr dies.

o'DoEovAE RossA SHOT.

was shortly after removed to an

thing as dynamite, that explosive
having been discovered or invent
by a Swede less than twenty years
ago, but IN the year mentioned
there was gunpowder, and Guy
Fawkcs and others planted mum
Der Of barrels of that explosive in
a cellar under the Parliament
House with the view Of blowing it
UP on the first day Of the session
under James |, but fearing that a
prominent peer, whom the con
spirators held in high esteem,
would attend the opening, they
wrote him all anonymous letter,
warning HIM rot to visit Parlia-
ment OH the eventful November
day, and said peer showing'the let
ter to the King, the plot was trus-
trated, Guy Fawkes arrested,
"drawn, hanged and quartered,
together with seven of. his cocoon
splrators. In this connection there
there is a singular carrolary. The
"gunpowder plot" was gotten up
by Romanlsts in the supposed in
tcrests of God, and the Protestant
king issued a day of Thanksgiving
to God that the plot was discover
ed and thwarted. Much depends
on ones standpoint as to how Il
picture looks.
The late attempt to blow up the
Parliament building awakens reco-
lectionsvot the sGuy Fawkes' plot,
a belt the latter had its origin from
a knownScause, one that does not
nter into the present emeute but
if at all. Fawkes and his
elan were influenced by the threat
on the part of the new dynasty, to
enforce the old penal laws,of Eliza
beth against Roman Catholics.
At present writing the true in
wardness" of the late dynamite
plot has not been fully exposed,
but there is, and can be but little
doubt that it was Matched and exc
cuted by Irish hot-heads, who in
their frenzy thought they were do
ing God and man service, whereas
they were really offending the for
mcr and injuring the latter. The
scheme in its conception, incuba
ton and birth, was cowardly, i'll
advised and dastardly. Had the
entire building been demolished
and every person within it been kill
ed, net one against whom a gIiev-
ance was held would have been
victims And even though the
catastrophe had reached and
stricken down Gladstone, and even
the Queen, how much better would
the Irish be oh'l Other rulers

A TILT OVER AUTHORITY.
SHERIDAN AND ENDICOTT HAVE
A LITTLE CLASH.

President Cleveland TO Decide the Mat
ter by Issuing an Order-The Relative
Powers of the Secretary OF War and
the Lieutenant General at stake.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-For num-
Der Of days rumors have been rife in u e
War Department that an order was forth
coming which, when issued, would create
considerable surprise. While no authen-
tic information is obtainable from officials,
it is understood that an order is to be
issued by the President, and is to define
the limit Of the authority of the Lieuten-
ant General Of the army. Itwas an open
secret for months prior to Secretary Lin
coins retirement that a controversy ex-
listed between him and Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dan relative TO the authority of the latter.
The Secretary of War finally wrote a let
ter to Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan relative to the
authority of the latter, in which he defined
the latter's authority.
THE POINT AT ISSUE.
n is asserted that Gen. Sheridan has
come in conflict with the new Secretary
of War in regard to some questions as
to their respective rights OF command.
On April general order was issued for
certain regiments TO exchange stations
by June l. This order was ''by command
of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan" IT did not con-
tain the name of the Secretary OF War
nor the words, "With the approval Of the
Secretary of War" Similar orders, as
shown by the records, when issued by
Gen. Sherman contained the name of
Secretary Lincoln.
THE CHANGE ORDERED.
In the general order above referred to
the Second regiment ofartillery. stationed
in Washington, was ordered to exchange
with the Third regiment of artillery, sta
toned in the Gulf States. Certain sur
ge0ns Of the army have expressed them
selves as bitterly opposed to this change
at this season of the year. They say that
1t would endanger the health OF the unGc-
climated regiment and that the
transfer would be especially dam
gerOus because of the threatened
sickiy season in the South. They say.
further, that the regiment now stationed
in the South is accimated. ana can re-
main there without danger. Other OIL
cials say that this is the tirst order of the
kind issued in the spring of a year.
Secretary Endic0tt is now in Boston.
The expected order, which promises a
surprise, win probably not be given out
until his return to the department next
Thursday.
