UNPATRlOTIO.

Patrick Ford, the editor of the Irish
World, will gain nothing through his
opposition to VIM. F. Sheehan, the
Democratic candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor of New York state. Irishmen are
ashamed of the course he pursues.
Here is a brilliant Irish Catholic
climbing the ladders steps through
his own ability, and opposed by
an organ supposed to be a staunch
friend Of all true Irish American states
men, and surely no man is more worthy
of Irish support than IS Mr.. Sheehan.
The Irish World is prejudiced on poll
tical grounds. Irish patriotism in this
case is relegated to the background.
The pig loves the acorns. The Irish
World loves the favor Of party and this
is an Indication of righteousness.
When the Irish World opposes the cleo
ton to high office of worthy and en-
minent Irish American, there surely
must be financial gain in the opposition.
The Irish Worlds patriotism is fed to
British hearts and the editor thereof
has lost his reason. Mr.. Ford is Dem
ocrat at heart, but the "World" is not
his own. A Hebrews favors are not
always spurned-no, not even by some
Irishmen.

A pLBA.FoR UNITY.

John Dillon last Saturday addressed
demonstration of workingmen at Dub
lin. He dilated upon the stupidity of
trying to quarrel with England after all
the trouble and time that has been oc.
cupied in securing her friendship. It
was terrible thing to ask Ireland, with
her steadily dwindling population, to
hseak with Mr.. Gladstone, at the risk of
postponing home rule for another de-
cade. Mr.. Redmond could not pretend
that Ireland would unite under his
leadership. If this spirit Of faction is
permitted to spread, before the two
years were over they would have as
many parties as there are Irish members
and be in the same position as they
we're Is years ago, when every man was
for himself. No success was possible
while the minority refused to be govern
ed by the majority. He believed that
Mr.. Gladstone was sincere in his home
rnie ideas, but if his bill were mad
equate he {Dillon) would be the first to
denounce it and GUST the Liberals if
necessary. Dillon is right, and unless
his advice is taken, the struggle for
home rule will be set back longer
time than may be imagined now. Il
was deplorable error that the impe-
tuous Redmond should be selected as a
candidate to fill the seat made vacant by
the death of MIR. Parnell, thus giving
him the leadership of the Parnell fac
ton. Redmond is ambitiouslY head
strong, and is, at this crisis of the game,
entirely disqualified for this important
position. The death of Parneli has not
had the effect anticipated by the major
ity of the people. The controversy be-
tween the contending factions have been
embittered, and the most rancorous
political passions on both sides aroused.
Decency and reverence have been for
the moment thrown to the wind. The
dead leader has been reviled on the one
side as loathsome sinner, for whom
eternity affords no hope, while on the
other hand he has been ikened unto a
saint. But although the furious storm
has once more transferred the stream of
Irish politics into turbid torrent, there
is no reason to doubt that the scum
which now befouls it will be swept into
and absorbed by the sea of the general
election. There are signs already OF
dissension among the dissentients, and
there is ground for hope that within a
month the parliamentary lrreconciliabies
will be reduced. To these men no
quarter will be given, and they will
doubtless die hard.

The despotic Tory Balfolr has been
appointed leader Of the government IN
the House Of Commons tn succeed the
late Henry Smith. His successor as
Chief Secretary of Ireland has not yet
been named, but it will doubtless be
one possessing sympathy in Balfour's
past nefarious act ion, and in the policy
of the: Tories. Balfour's triumph will
we hope be of short duration. The de-
caying corpse Of the Tory party is al
ready in the breeze, and Balfour will
vet weep on its tomb.
