The Belfast Riots.

As throwing light upon the Belfast
riots, we give the following from the
Washington 3D. O. Post:
The accounts of the riots in Belfast re-
veal a state of ferocity and lawiessness
existing in that city which seems almost
incredible. Were the city beleaguered
by a savage array, men fighting for their
loved ones and women to protect their
honor frenzy could not have been
wrought to higher pitch than it was
during the past few days, when Orange
man and Catholic tried who could kill
each other soonest.
Who Is to blame for this condition Of
affairs
The London papers are not unit on
the question The Morning Post, Chroni-
Gle and Times lay the blame to Glad
stone. The Telegraph says the riots
show how complete has been the failure
OF governing Ireland by party methods,
and the NelUs thinks it is hard on the
Tory Government, for they always con-
tended resolute government is a sufii-
the American press, however, is beautiful
to behold As all of the special dis
patches are sent by Irishmen who are
longing for the repeal of the union, they
naturally make Orangemen the guilty
parties. They hold that Lord Randolph
Churchill is morally responsible for the
bloodshed and loss OF life, and that these
are the first results OF Tory Govern
ment.
Party purpose and party preiudices
may establish the moral quito Churchill
and the Conservative Government and
the actual guilt Of the Orangemen, but
will the facts bear out these assertions p
We do not think so.
The hereditary enmity existing be-
tween the wearers OF the orange aud the
. green is not of to-day or yesterday IT ia
a passion OF long years, nurtured by cuu-
ming and violence and malice, kept alive
by selfish individuals, thriving and

cause, and he proceeds to recite some of
their acts of wantonness. These atroci-
ties were committed by the constables,
most of whom are Catholics and drafted

always been the object of their deadly
aversion, and now armed with power it

To a pale poet sounding in the dark,

Never an answeri All in vain we reach
Fen to the utmost verge Of human
thought;
What anxious, waiting soul has ever
caught
One faint reply in heavens immortal
speech?
If heaven in pity would a message send,
And you should come, and, kneeling at
my side,
should say, 'Loye, I have been your con-
slant guide
I promise still to lead till life IS done"
If 1 should touch your band, and see your
face,
Should hear the pet name that was mine
of old;
If your firm fingers should my W en-
fold,
And I could nestle in my olden place
With one caress, love i would let you 90,
Nor crave your presence in the years to
come;
Knowing so well that in your restful
home
This vexfng life of mine you still would
know.
1t would not pain you'll On deaths hinder
ing bar
All human passions break and drift from
sight;
Only love purified they know tonight,
In happy islands where the sinless are.
I would not keep you if I could, my friend;
For I should know that though you were
my guest,
Once having tasted heavens pure joy
and rest,
Your love for me would fail ere life should
end.
And though 1 could not hear your tender
tone, ,
still should feel your power to love and
bless
Should know your old unvarying tender
ness
And neyermore should live my life alone.
