No Desire to Drive the Irish People Into
War Unprepared.
CHICAGO, Aug GS-With regard TO his
speech IN ogdens grove Mr.. Finerty made
the following explanation Tuesday TO a re.
porter of the United Press: 1--WE have no
desire to force the hand of Parnell or TO drive
the Irish people into war unprepared All
that We demand is this land we will be sat
isted with nothing less that no leader of
the Irish people who is supposed to speak
for them shall commit himself or them to
accepting as a final settlement bills of re-
lief unworthy of the dignity of Ireland's
national demand We are perfectly willing
TO see them accept such bills as that of
Gladstone as a settlement on account, but
that must not be accepted as closing the
transaction. We see no wisdom in it
1t lowers the tone of the Irish cause 1t
lowers the spirit of the Irish people
To ask them to subside to a species of mere
provinciallsm is an outrage on their strug-
gle of 30 years for liberty. We admit that
1t may not be good policy on the part of
Mr.. Parnell and Mr. psvitt to be what is
termed moderate in tone, but for us who
represent the national idea of the Irish peo.
pie it would be worse than folly 10 conceal

Not sound was heard but IA terrible hum,
As round the chamber we hurried,
In search of the mosquito whose trumpet and

Our delcctable slumber had worried.
We sought II darkly Mt dead OF night,
Our Coverlet carefully turning,
by the struggling moonbeam's misty light,
And our candle dmly burning.
No useless garment confined our breast,
But in simple night dress and slippers,
We wandered about like spirits distressed,
OR the sails of piratical skippers.
But half an hour seemed TO elapsc
Ere we met with the wretch that had bit US,
And RAISING our boot gave some terrible saps
And gave the mosquito quietus.

They might have done much important work
which is lett undone. But they have done a

what has been accomplished in .he House,
where they control, passed number OF i'm

Comparing tho history and results or the
