Cumberland Presbyterian.
The following resolution was adop-
ted in the Senate Of the United States,
as expressive of the telling of this
Nation in regard to the recent dyna-
mite outrages in London:
Resolved, That the Senate of the
United States has heard with indig-
nation and profound sorrow of the at
tempts to destroy the Houses of Par
lament and other public buildings
in London, and hereby express its
horror and detestatiOn of such mon
strous crimes against civilization.
But this is not enough. 1t is high
time for our government to take posi-
tive steps to aid the nations of Europe
in stamping out thisawful conspiracy
against humanity. The vile gangs
who are masquerading in the guise
of Irish patriots should be driven
from our country. Why should such
miscreants find asylums in this coun-
try? They do not deserve the name
ofmen, and should be treated as a
frontiersman would treat a wild beast
preyingupon his flock or his children.
They are thieves and murderers, liv-
ing upon the credulity of the Irish
servant girls and washer-women,
who send them money under the de-
fusion that they are in some mystic
rious way aiding in procuring the
freedom of Ireland. There is not the
shadow of a doubt but that the
O'Donovan Rosa gang are nothing
but murderers living upon the con-
tributiOns of the poor, deluded Irish
laborers of this country. They care
nothing for Irish freedom. They are
not the friends of Ireland. They
cause an explosion now and then to
keep their receipts from falling off,
never once dreaming that their
fiendish outrages will help Ireland.
They have learned to live in luxury,
and have posed before an ignorant
people as patriots deserving the SYM
pathy of free people. BUTT is time
this mask was torn off, and that they
were seen by even the most ignorant
Irish servant-girl as the most detesta-
BILE villains that ever imposed upon
innocence. The people Of this coun-
try have the utmost contempt fol-
such men. They loathe the very
name of O'Donovan Rosa, and YET
he has been suffered to publish an
infammatory sheet in our greatest
city, and openly advocate the use o.
dynamite as the means of freeing
Ireland. We all know this man and
his satellites to be scoundrels, hypo
critics, and murderers, and yet they
are tolerated. They are repudiatet
and detested by all decent Irishmer
in our midst. We all know tina
such crimes are the work of tiends
We have too long held our peace.
England misgoverns Ireland, it doe
not help the matter for us to wink a
Irish crimes. We should not, out 0
false sympathy for Ireland, trea
these men as much abused patriots
Let us hurl them from our midst.
we have no laws to punish such bas
cOnspiratOrs, let us urge our law
makers to enact laws that will punisl
