Finerty is right. And why
will they be laid to the Irish9 Why
not lay them to the Nihilists, or So
oialists, or other disturbers Of the
peace of the crowned heads OF
Europe? Dynsmiters are ply'ng
their nefarious practices in
Austria and Russia, but we have not
heard that the explosions which have
occurred in those counties are laid

Russia?
But If it be conceded that the
I,ish are at the bottom of the London
expo ions it must also be conceded
that some powerful motive prompted
them to the unnatural deeds, for 1t
cannot be supposed that q people
noted for their eoursge, magnanim-
ity and generous impulses would
wantonly destroy human life or take
pleasure in contemplating.its d. struc-
ton. But we do not admit that the
I,ish, as a people, coun:enance the
das'a'dly act or that any considers

in it. 1t is true there are Irish dynam-

itcould he done without the sacr fee
of other lives, but they represent only
an infin:tesima1 hunter Ct the
whole irish people, and the masses
should not be held responsible for
their acts.
The motive Is patent to all. Ire
land justly claims the exercise of GER
tain political rights which England
denies her. The great body OF her
people, under the leadership of such
men as Parnell, are legitimately
fighting for those rights by appeals to
the reason of the English ministry
and t. the judgment of the civilized
world. Inch by inch they are gain
ing ground and but for the insane &C.
tons of Irish extremists greater prog
ress would have been made. But
these mistaken men propose to
drive-to frighten the English gov
eminent into a recognition Of the
rights of the Irish people. Hence
these explosions, ii they can be laid
to the door of Irishmen.
We take no stock in detective
Byrnes' theory, that the prime NOV
ers in this latest outrage r to be
found among those high IN authority.
The presumption is a libel upon the
intelligence of the Irish leaders. The
very buLgling manner in which
some of the London explosions have
been carried out do not indicate the
presence of q master mind in their
conception. On the contrary, they
bear unmistakable evidence tina, they
were the work of inferior intellects.
There Is nothing to hinder a well Or
.anized band of dynamiters under
the leadership of a courageous, intel
man from blowing up any
building in London. That this has
not been successfully done is evil
1ence that bunglers are at the bottom
the whole business and that their
paid assassins were stapid Doors.

Personal Characteristics OF One OF the
Leading Women in the World.
Mr.. Gladstone is accused of being
Jolly and jaunty of late, but it is not
always mentioned that on all festive
occasions. whether at an artist break
fast or a theater party, Mrs. Gladstone
Is always at his side, as was the case
with Mrs Disraeli and her lord.
Though not handsome, she has a fine,
kindly, English-matron presence. and
has exercised great influence over him
all through his life. LET me ask Catha-

questions. She has great sagacity and
discretion Many ladies and gentlemen
OF remarkable astuteness in their own
estimation have endeavored in vain TO
CLEAN from her the faintest inkling oil
coming events. and her aplomb is a.
remarkable as her discretion.
An instance is going the rounds Of
The clubs. When, two years ago, MI
fortescue resigned the Seorearyship
for Ireland in Mr.. Gladstone Cabinet
he was very anxious to hear what Mr.
Gladstone would say OF him in announc-
ing the event. but was unwilling TO APP
pear upon the scene. He therefore, in
stead Of taking his ordinary place, made
his way TO the ladies' cage. The only
occupant he discovered on entering
was the one of all hers he would have
avoided seeing g-Mrs. Gladstone, lie
was about to evince his discomro ure
in the rugged spasmodic way peculiar
to that flower of Quaker 'subtlety, ana
which was ,ubiect occasionally OF un-
pleasant observation ON his visit here
when the lady. perfectly at her ease,
held up her finger. and, shaking her
head with an air OF tender repro'vh'
whispered in low tone: 'Naugh,,yy'
naughty" Unlike Lady Bcaconsnclu'
who entertained very little, and when
she did with great discrimination Mrs;
Gladstone ontertains with a large anu

dolph Churchill is the only member of the
Cabinet likely to take firm stand
where their views diyerge on the Afghan

Russian Government will gain nothing by
vain attempts to Intrigue or excite
alarm. They will find the new Cabinet
as well up in the points of for.

alike TO menace and ajolery on subjects
affecting British material interests
