The Irish Convention.

The Irish National League convention in
Chicago is the object of close scrutiny in
Great Britain, for the reason that its con.
illusions are likely to have strong inHu.
ence on public sentiment there 30 far as the
Irish question is concerned. Nothing
would give the anti.Irish leaders on the
other side Of the water greater pleasure
than to see the Chicago convention under
the control of the dynamiters of the United
States, as it would give them an excellent
club wherewith to beat the brains out Of
the Irish movement in Great Britain. Let
them not, however, lay that flattering unc-
tion to their souls, for their hope is but a
shadow that will not be clothed with sub.
stance.
There will probably be some honest diff
ferences of opinion as to just what Ireland
should demand, but there is scarcely any
doubt but that the position that Parnell
has taken will practically be sustained by
the convention. The calibre of the dele
gates is such that factions voice will be
quickly stilled and harmony and enthu-
siasm prevail.
The Irish cause in America will receive
large impetus from this magnificent gath.

Gersuch Let Leose.

About thirty men were gathered, yester-
day, in dirty little room in the rear of
Philadelphia beer garden, and listened to
furious TRADE against mankind in general
and their governments in particular. The
speaker was man named Gorsuch, who
calmly announced that the violence Of his
feelings on the subject of freedom made it
impossible for him to find employment any
where, leaving his hearers to infer that
he was therefore fit subject for their char
ity and professional feeler after liberty.
He raised considerable amount of cash for
the benefit Of the Anarchists on trial in
Chicago. He read an address from PAM
phlet written by himself, which breathes
slaughter in every line. His first para
graph led to the climax 3" demand the
total destruction Of this God - private
property )" and in the second he pictures
private property as beast and requests
his hearers to seize him by the throat
and choke the last breath of life out of his
worthless carcass; we can't afford to
wait year" Then he shrieks for revolt
and social revolution, and ends in curse
upon rent, profit and interest, the only
trinity worshipped throughout the world: (:
that is too blasphemous for quotation.
We are overwhelmed by the sublimity Of
this spectacle. Thirty men in beergarden
propose to revolve the entire human race
instanter. No slow revolutionary propa-
ganda will do for them, but they adopt the
more rapid method of imagining their OPP
ponents concentrated into a single beast,
which they propose to choke to death.
The sublime violence of Mr.. Gorsuch is
amusing. The sterility of the news crop
that makes the vaporings Of this profess
sional loafer to his mob of thirty matter
for detailed report in all the papers is mar.
velous.
Ever since the throwing Of the Chicago
bombs the Anarchists have acquired an
importance in the public eye far beyond
their real strength, for all are painfully
aware of the vast power for evil that the
bomb places in the hands of one man
There is something about the grand ex
plosion and turmoil that follows tht
throwing Of the bomb that is calculated t.
make the sport attractive to people
murderously inclined, and it is believed
that before long it will be necessary to re.
strict the pastime by special and stern
legislation. The best preventive, how
ever, will be- popular disapproval. Some
day an angry mob will pulverize an

THE massing of Chinese army of over
10000 mAn on the frontier OF the Russian
Ameer provinces and the recent large orders
Of the Chinese government for war material
have caused numerous rumors of hos,ilities
on the Russian frontier of the F1owery
Kingdom. The true meaning of the prepa-
ratious may be that Chinese diplomats, IA
nous for their caution, have learned from
their experience with France that the best
way to avoid war is to be prepared to meet
it. They also have noticed the war cloud
hanging over the Afghan boundary and have
heard the mutterings Of thunder against
Germany from the court of the car.
In all these signs China has an interest,
and In the event of war, Russia may count on
another enemy in the East About thirty years
ago she conquered from China and Japan
large and fertile strip:of territory, and ever
since then these powers have been quietly
awaiting an opportunity to win it back.
China will never forget nor abandon her
purpose If she has to wait a century; but like
cat at a mouse hole alert and silent, she
watches for chance to spring.
