More Dynamite.

Explosions OF dynamite some miles apart,
and evidently planned to BIO simultaneous,
occurred yesterday afternoon In London, and
our cable dispatches this morning convey
vivid impression Of the frantic excitement
Into which tho great metropolis was
plunged. As In the caso of most OF the pre-
ceding outrages OF like nature, the explo-
sions OF yesterday wcro fortunately not
attended by any such loss of life as might
be looked for when so destructive an agent
as dynamite is used in II crowded city.
Tho explosions in the Parliament buildings,
situated only n stones throw from tho scene OF
the one that occurred in 1888 In Sir CHARLES
DILKEs offices, appear to have been designed
to BIO tho most impressive, II not tho most
reckless and dastardly. OF tho whole series.
Any attempt of magnitude upon tho build
ings occupied by the Lords and Commons
when those bodies were in session
being impracticable by reason Of the preca,-
tons taken, and the impossibility of convey
ing n largo quantity OF dynamite thither
without detection, the conspirators have
naturally chosen Saturday, when there Is no
session. and when the buildings are deserted
by all except the police and few chance
visitors.
In both cases the amount OF explosive used
was comparatively small, the quantity being
necessarily limited by the conditions attend
ing Its transportation, aud the damage done
Is relatively insignificant, and, as In each
previous instance, out OF all proportion to
the excitement and alarm to which the oc-
currenco gave rise. That there should
have been little loss of life is due to no
scruplcs or touch OF humanity In the
miserable wretchcs who plan and execute
these deeds Their frequent recurrence and
the similarity OF the conditions attending
them show that in their solicitude for their
own safety tho assassins have fallen short in
every case of their evident desires.
Nothing can be added to the adherence In
which all right-minded people in this coun-
try hold these acts and the miscrcants who
perpetrate them. So far as the men are con-
cerncd who from this side are said to aid and
abet them, we know them only as tho mean
est and lowest OF swindlers, adroit enough
to cvade the law and daring enough to rob
servant girls here and possibly to murder
them in London. No law can reach them or
take cognizance Of such acts as they COM
nit openly here, but the wish for their extir-
patton Is heartfelt and universal.
They arc the worst enemies OF their own
country. its cowardly, skulking, and vicious
foes, and every ounce of dynamite that thoy
explode binds the hands of all true and
patriotic Irishmcn, and degers just SO much
longer the day Of Irelands independence.
1t is an OWL work, and If it be pursued it will
chill the sympathy and enlist the indifference
Of country which has given homo to
millions OF Irish people.
Such an unnatural and abominable war
fare cannot long endure. Wretches like
these whom they conspire. fnll presently
apart out Of their inherent depravity, and no
such league over yet for any length Of time
lacked traitors to effect its downfall. There
are not needed even now tho signs OF tho
disintcSration and retrbution that are inva-
riably wrought by rogues who prove false to
their own roguery.
For every BRADY thore is sure to DO sooner
OF later CAREY.
