FAMINE RELIEF COMMITTEE.

The London Times has put itself to con-
siderable trouble to show that the commit
tee of Americans who have in charge the
duty of providing relief for the Irish in case
of famine. are influenced by political mo-
tives only, in their pretended Humanitarian
mission.
Ii has caused some amusement on this
side of the water 10 hear from SO authorita-
tive an English source that eX-President
Hayes, who is member of the committee
Ia anxious 10 return TO Office, and therefore
takes this step TO propitiate the Irish vote.
so far as can be discovered the eX-lresi-
dent has no aspirations of the kind. II he
had desired TO recover his political III
fiuence, he would never have been so bold
and so honest as to express as strongly as
he did recently, his warm disapproval Of
the Mckinley bill, and he would hardly be
so short-sighted as 10 seek to rise to his oid
political prominence by making an appeal
TO the Irish vote, which, as is well known
in this country. is in almost its whole pro-
norton, Democratic in sentiment.
The London Times is mistaken in lis re-
ferences TO all the leading members Of the
committee. They are pretty evenly balanced
between both of the parties, and were no
doubt selected as men whose names would
give weight to the movement, and thereby
ensure its success. Whatever may be SAID
of ex-President Cleveland, he can at least
not be charged with pandering to popular
opinion with demagogic shrewdness ana
nexibility. IL he contributes the influence
OF his great example to advance the pros
perity aud usefulness of this committee II Is
because he thinks that the objects which 1t
has In view are worthy Of his earnest sup
port and promotion.
tits doubtful whether even Mr.. Depew is
actt ated by any but the most philanthropic
purposes. the Irish voters Of New York not
having reason to think OF him at all except
In the light Of a wit, in which respect he is
very popular with them, as he is with the
rest of the American people.
1t Is idle for the London Times to depreci-
ate the dignity and sincerity of the move
ment headed by these distinguished men, c'
attributing to them unworthy feelings and
motives. There are many credible signs
that famine is threatened among the
poorer classes OF Ireland, and in case 1t Is
precipitated the establishment OF this con-
epicuous committee will have most i'm
portant influence in diminishing, If not in
removing the worst horrors of so dreaded an
event. The movement inaugurated by the |
committee has the sympathy and approval
OF every generous American citizen.
