Farmer Condemned az Rome.

ROME, Feb. 5.-The JfoniieW De Rome,
generally recognized as the official organ OF
the Pope, regrets that Mr.. Parnell, as we'll
as the other prominent leaders identified
with the Home Rule cause, have seen fit to
entirely ignore the recent dynamite out
RACES in London. Their silence is not
only bad, but is apt to be falsely construed.
The article concludes with the suggestion
which is expressed in most cautious aud
delicate way, that perhaps it would be wise
If the Roman Catholic bishops openly de-
nounced these secret attacks. This would
also create good impression in England,
which is to be desired.

last night that the story Of impending So
cialist riots in Pittsburgh was all bosh--the

despots of Europe, for there was no hope
Of reforming the laws there by peaceabe
methods. At present be did not advocate
its use here, for workingmen were proceed

equal and more lust laws.
