TuE recent dynamite demonstration
in London are already being. felt by
lrishmen In the matter of employment.
A London correspondent estimates that
5000 men are now out Of employment,
and the statement is made that manyof
the large corporations will exclude all
Irish from employment in their service.
This is state of affairs that may set the
best minds of the age TO thinking. A
war with dynamite as the power of de-
struction would certainly be not only
novel, but 1t would be more destructive
Of the innocent than OF those whom 1t
would be aimed. and when it finds an
advocate in such representative men rs
Congressman Finnerty. 1t at once has an
appearance Of seriousL ess that should
be fully appreciated But it IS TO he
hoped In the name of the boosted civill-
cation of this Nineteenth century that Il
halt will be called in the work evidently
contemplated by the dynamiters, and
that the Powers may suggest a policy
whereby Ireland's rights may be pro-
tected and her wrongs redressed.
