This general invectiye is printed in England as
the authentic expression of American opinion on
the American Secretary of State OF course 1t has
some effect. The English public cannot be eN-
pscted TO know that the author of 1t and the agent
who transmits it are both mongrel Americans, ii
they be Americans at all. 1t may not depreSs the
stock markets but il 'poisons the minds Of the
gentlemen who write those editorial articles on
America which we Taught at, but which very con-
siderably influence English opinion. 1t disturbs
in the long run the good relations between the
two countries. and the hope that it will may eX.
plain why it is kept up
Cork is for the moment, the centre of political
interest in Ireland. The contest there going on
for Mr. ParnelPs seat is of the livelest kind, and
blood flows in torrents. The list OF reported
casualties thus far exceeds hundred. These are
hospital cases. Mr. O'Brien has fled the city.
His gehtle soul cannot brook these horrors, and
his life seems to be in danger. Colonel Turner,
whose response abilities are heavy warned him OF

Emperor would say, and offered him protection
AiT. 0BTien had more faith in MS own heels than
IN Colonel Turner's detectives, and away he went.
Il heroic resolve. Mr.. Dillon remains,
though Mr.. Dillon, too, is marked man. He is
marked on the knee, which some Parnellite ruff
aan hit with big stick.
There have been riots Of the most beautiful
kind. AT least they would have been, had not bru
tal English police interfered between the mobs of
Parnellites and snti-Parnelites, each trying theI
Test 10 break each others heads but each re
iuctant to get their own heads broken by police
clubs. Probably more distressing sight has
anywhere been seen than these two opposing
bodies Of Irish patrlots,-for they are both pa
trOis,-each in stolid phalanX, yelling defiance at
each other and vainly 1ourishing their blackthorn
sticks across an immoveable barrier Of the Royal
lTSh Constabuary. who kept both in order, or
what passes in Ireland for order. There have
teen professions which were perfectly splendid.
There have been meetings at which the most fervid
eoquence was poured out. You never know the
real strength OF the English language till you hear
1t used by an Irshman. An almost complete
anthology Of abuse might be collected from the
speeches In Cork during tfis single week know
not who exees in this competition. II is diff

casualties shows, have eluded the police, and the
