THE LONDON OUTRAGE.

We publish on our first page a full
history Of the infamous attempt to de-
stroy the House of Parliament and the
Tower, in London. Of all the demon
STATIONS of the dynamiters, this one is
the most important, as well as the most
destructive in its results. Although no
lives have actually been lost, yet its con-
ception is the most fiendish, and its ex-
ecution the most daring of the many
crimes perpetrated by desperate men in
the name Of Irish liberty. The only re-
suit of such acts can be to cast oppro-
brium upon an otherwise Just cause
and since they are demonstrators against
society, to provoke everywhere the
righteous Indignation of intelligent men.
Inflated Ireland, what crimes are beng
done in thy name

AN amusing scene occurred on the
floor of the U. S. Senate the other day
when Tom Ochiltree, the well-known
Representative in Congress from Texas,
was discovered within the sacred pre-
cinct of that august body, during an
executive session. He had actually
been there thirty mirutes and more,
after its doors had been locked and
bolted. He was summarily elected by
an assistant Sergeant-at-Arms and the
dignity of the Senate indicated. 1t is
probable that Ochiltree is the only man
in America who possesses sufficient
cheek to defy the rules of that body.

The Democrats may as we'll give up
trying to capture John a. Logan's seat
in the Senate. The fates are against
them. and they should gracefully accept
the inevitable. Ever since they at
tempted to steal the Illinois Senator
ship ill fortune has attended all their eff
forts. Some of their political workers
are under arrest for fraud in the election.
Their political trades have gone away,
and they have been deeply Inundated
by their failures. And now paralysis
has overcome one of their members of
the Legislature, which distantly post
pones, if it does not entirely extingush,
their hopes. The only creditable course
open to them is to permit the legislature
to organize and the work of the session
to proceed.

A FIRE AT TIE CAPITAL.
Sparks From the Roof ignite Box Of Old

Sparks From the Roof ignite Bo. Of Old
Flags and Cause IA Scare in the House.
The early members on the house floor
Monday morning were subjected to a
scare that threatened to be panic by the
appearance OF shower Of sparks coming
down from the yentiiators in the ceiling.
The rush for the corridors was instanta-
neous, under the belief that dynamite
explosion was imminent. Nj. A. Is. Tai
colt, the electrician OF the house, was
among the first to discover the fire,
which took it's rise from box of old
flags in the loft, probably ignited by a
spark entering through an open door
from the roof A good deal of unneces-
sary destruction of doors was caused by
the efforts of various parties to get at
ths scene of the fire by different ana de-
vious routes. Chief Cronin and Archi-
tect Clark soon reached the spot, and
with the aid of copious stream of water
soon succeeded in quenchiug the fire,
which had been mastered by buckets of
water in the hands of employees. 1t was
found that the wooden platform about
the flagstaff and the mast itself we're en-
veloped in flames. The roof beneath
was burnt through, aud the flames Were
eating away the woodwo in the room,
and the leather covers of the old records
had begun to curl up with the heat.
In the room in which the fire was were
stored the records of the first session of
congress, with all the original reports of
committees, of the proceedings of the
house, and reports of the various beads
of departments, including some valuable
reports dated 1890. The close proximity
of the fire to these volumes rendered it
almost miraculous that they were not

rulers let loose upon innocent women
and children the bloody savages of the
American forest to scalp and murder
them in cold blood. Deprecate the
Irish outrases as we may, vet there
seems to be something of a retributive
Justice even in this world, since the sins
of the fathers of the present race of En-
glish statesmen are being visited upon
their latest generations.

THE United States Supreme Court
has recently decided that ga lunatic, or
person affected with insanity, is admis-
sible as witness if he has sufficient
understanding to apprehend the obi
cation of an oath, and is capable of
giving a correct account of the matters
which he has seen or heard with refer

whether he has that understanding is a
question to be determined by the court,

IS IT RETRIBUTION:

The i'll tempered expressions used by
Englishmen towards America, and the
actual violence with which an American
gentleman was threatened on Saturday,
while the excitement in London over
the attempt to blow up the houses of
Parliament was at its height, seem par
ticularly out of place, since the weight
of evidence now shows that the dyna-
mite conspiratols have their headquar-
tiers in Paris, and not in New York.
But, even if it were the fact that these
misguided advocates of a meritorious
cause were making this country the rail-
living point for such demonstrations
against the lives and property Of our
English brethren, is it any more than
the English government has allowed the
political conspirators Of Continental Eu
rope to make of London What steps
has England taken to prevent the man
ufacture of dynamite, to be used By the
Nihilists of Russia against the Gar, or
bv the Anarchists of Germany against
the Emperor, William? What effort
did England make during cur own re-
bellion to prevent the fitting out in her
ports of Confederate cruisers to prey
upon our commerce, and to murder our
seamen? When English soil is rocking
under the feet of frightened Britishers,
and the crumbling walls of her capitol
re- echo to the wall of down. trodden
and oppressed Irishmen, let the English
government, before it cries out for help
from this side of the Atlantic, remember
how in our revolutionary days the an
costors of the present race of British
