THE SPECIAL. MESSAGE.

AS a result of the correspondence be-
tween this country and England regard
ing the boundary line dividing Venezuela
and British Guiana, in which England
refused to submit the question in dispute
to arbitration, President Cleveland has
sent a special message to congress, in
which 1t is in substance stated that
should England attempt to enforce her
encroachments upon Venezuela, that she
will do so at her peril. It also asks that
an appropriation be made by congress for
the services OF commission to ascertain
the true boundary line between the two
South American countries and upon its
decision this country will rest its CASE;
The message is clear cut, bold and I'M
mistakable, and the reading of 1t dis
plays warlike spirit, nevertheless it is
| not likely that war will ensue. It will
take the commission long time to
make its report and by that time many
changes may occur in the temper of the
people on both sides Of the Atlantic. Not
that this country would ever back down
from facing the British in another war
but new diplomatic arrangements may
ensue, and both sides may ameiiorate
their respective demands and thus the
dogs Of war may remain in leash. It may
also happen that the commission may
come to the conclusion that the claims
Of the British are just and in such case
the trouble would be ended.
The majority Of the English papers
do not like the attitude assumed by the
United States. Some of them do not look
upon it as one taken in warlike spirit
and say That 1t is only a shrewd political
move to get the Cleveland admisistra-
tion IN a favorable light before the peo-
pie with third term idea behind It, or
| il not a third term then to place the
Democratic party on an excellent politi-
cal footing for the next campaign.
If the idea behind the warlike message
was to place the president in q strong and
favorable light before the people, it has
succeeded admirably, for upon it's reading
in the senate that sedate body forgot
Its historic dignity and burst into the
most earnest applause. The house; : al

s. But when Paraeli was driven to his
grave and his Successors saw the kind Of
man they were dealing with Healy---
they soon made known their distrust OF
his methods, and IIealy, true to his ma
ture, made war upon them as he had done
upon Parnell before. s rs
The English Tories have great respec:
for Hesl outwardly. He serves their
ends. !.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor OF
the exchequer, speaking at meeting Of
Tories not long ago, in Bristol, said she
did not wish to triumph over those who
were defeated but they, after all, were
human, and could not help seeing with
certain amount Of pleasure. how In Ire
land che best abused man was no longer
las in accordance with constitutional
presidents he" should be--the Tory chief
secretary, but the pure souled, high
minded, disinterested, courteous patriot,
Mr.. Timothy Healy."
OF course this utterance was received
with laughter and cheers. Everybody
felt elated at Healy's antics.
J.sBoyle, city councillor Of Manchester,
says of Healy: MI :#
Zone grieved to think how many idols
Of the past had been hurled from the PIN
nacle Of the peoples love into Oblivion
with anathena. In this connection they
remembered the names of John O'Con-
nor Power,P. j. snyth, and many others.
These men tried conclusions with their
countrymen and they knew with what
result For the present state of Irish
politics." continued Mr.: Boyle, '*Mr. Hea-
ly was and would be held responsible.
The Omagh incident was stab in the
back in the middle of the general cleo
ton worse than could be inflicted by Ire
lands greatest enemy. No enemy could
have supplied the Unionist candidates
with weapon half so effective for i'm
mediate use as that which Mr.. Healy sup
piled at Omagh. He could name several
seats that were lost to Home Rule Liber-
ais in consequence of that incident. The
South Kerry election capped the revolt,
and to his mind that act placed Mr.. Hea-
ly and those other members who were
there with him outside the Irish party
who were bound by the party pledge. In
a pledge bound Irish party, in the spirit
and in the letter, lay their only hope of
success Irishmen in England would al
ways insist on that, for with them it was
Ireland first, Ireland last, and always, un-
il home rule was won"
And this is a pen picture of Timothy
Healy, man who does not hesitate to
call all his opponents either idiots or
rogues. This characteristic has been
one of the factors, if not the prime fac
tor, for the general distrust and opposi-
ton prevailing against him.
A correspondent of Dublin paper says
Of Healy that The has the brain of prime
minister, the words of an archangel and
the temper of an ape; and his method Of
controversy is the most blackguardly Of
any mans in these islands It was
these nauseating traits in the man that
caused the split in the Parnell party.
And finally the correspondent spoken of
sums up Healy in these short, direct al
though not overly genteel words:
'"The effluvium of the political pole-cat
is strong upon him. His best weapon is
his power of emitting etenches.'
