men, but in Justice to stern military
discipline they We're compelled to Kill
them. 1t was cruel to the men composing
the firing party Again, the division Pro-
vost Marshal of the command to which
the doomed men belonged, was by virtue
of his office stationed in a line with the
men to be shot, and if the bullets OF the
firing party faile to kill, he, the Provost
Marshal, must walk quickly up to the
writhing bodies and dispatch them at
once, by shooting them through the heart
with revolver ball, which on this par
ticular occasion, he had to do. All OF
which was cruel on the men and the
officer, but the stern arm of military law
was raised and there was no such
word as refuse, or the consequence
would place the offender where the
criminals were. Cruel as all OF this was,
it was an absolute necessity, but can that
reason be assigned for the inhuman
cruelties which the British army are
daily called upon to inflict in these pip
ing times of peace, on the starving people
of Ireland? We think not. And yet one
of England's bravest soldiers, Sir Redvers
Butler, who has carved name for him
self second to none of the heroes of the
Soudan campaign, is daily and hourly
planning with all the power of military
genius, backed by all the terrors of men
and money, to throw starving people from
their homes into the streets, under the
cursed law of evictions which now holds
sway in that unhappy land. The plea
of the hungry baby at breast too
starved to afford it nourishment, the up
lifted hands of the palsied and of Groom
ing age, the heartrending cry of the
mother for sick and famishing children,
all must not affect him. He must draw
up his wellfed and warmly clothed men
in line before hovel which is disgrace
to any people and which never knew
what plenty meant within its walls, and,
by force if necessary, drive out to starve
or freeze, the unfortunate of his country
men and women whose only crime is in
herited poverty without a chance to i'm
prove their condition. While we can view
the duty of the soldier, in times OF war,
with equanimity, and feel that he obeys
a necessary order, how cruel, degrading
and unmanly, even unsoldierly, does
the cursed work of this man and his men
appear. The peasantry fight him all they
can, and what right to the name of men,
or the sympathy of other men, would
they have if they did not do so? Who
of the most law-abiding among the Amer
lean people would see such acts done
their wives, mothers and children, and
not become as brutes and seek redress in
blood? Yet this is an everyday occur
renee, and the boast of the bailiffs is that
the starved remains of the dead are not
heavy to carry to the potter's field Can
any conscientious man, with the true
promptings of human heart, blame the
spasmodic attempts they make to check
this cruel tyranny?
