TO THRASH OUT THE DEVIL.

A London paper says that the South is
only waiting for this country to get into
a war so that it may once more rise up
and capture the Capitol at Washington.
That would mean that all the fealty
sworn to by the southerners is only a
sham and that they are only awaiting
an opportunity to begin another little
"unpleasantness." On the same day,
however, that the article appeared in the
London paper Henry Watterson wrote
the following in his paper, the Louisville
Courier-Journal:
The rank and file of the people of this
country would rather thrash the devil
out OF Great Britain than any other ma
ton, because they believe there is more
of the devil in Great Britain than in any
other nation. Speaking for one part Of
those people-the people of the Southern
states-the Courier-Journal is free to say
that they would flock to the flag that
flung defiance to John Bull as they never
flocked TO their own Stars and Bars
With all the impetuous ardor Of their ma
ture they would welcome sllch war and
ash no better boon than the privilege of
f1ghung st.: .gnd. tHf :M5lrts: doctrine

The Ir.sh-American does not take kind

try raising troops in case of war between
this country and England. In a recent Is
sue it, says:
1t is one of the strangest comm entaries
on the intelligence of the conductors Of
the New York daily press to find so many
otherwise we'll edited newspapers printing,
as they DID last week, extensive accounts
Of an Irish army that is alleged to be
organizing here. The whole story is a
mere tissue of buncombe. The men whose
names are attached 10 the various yarns,
thus put forth, are, for the most part,
political camp followers, out for what
ever in the way OF "spoils'' they may be
able to corral" and chiefly solic.tous to
keep their names before the public, and
especially before the dispensers Of pat
ronage." Their "army''-like Falstaff' 8

sors standing before the committees that,

A FRENCH VIEW.

The Pail Mall Gazette the other day
formerly French minister of foreign af-
fairs, in relation to the Venezuelan mat
ter, and the Gazette in commenting upon
it said: g..
I'VE wanted to hear what Frenchmen
thought of Secretary Olney's extension of
the Monroe doctrine; but he scarcely
touches upon that and improves the &C
casion by giving us some home truths.
He accuses us of bullying and breaking
faith"
M. Flourens says: fThe French do not
believe in the probability of war as both
Great Britain and the United States are
prone to weigh profit and loss. Moreover
we are accustomed to the cool prudence
of England, which will increase in pro-
portion as the youthful impetuosity Of
the United States gives itself free course.
France is far more disposed to accept the
Monroe doctrine than you in England;
but we reserve anterior rights and do not
agree with President Cleveland's con-
ception of arbitration. We French are
great advocates of arbitration and would
gladly see it extended to all internation-
al disputes Notably we believe that diff
culties such as may arise between the
American republics and the European
states are all of a nature to be settled by
arbitration to the great advantage of the
parties interested.
ITO this effect we should like to see a.
permanent tribunal of arbitration erect
ed. British diplomacy still retains vio-
lent procedure which is out of place in
our epoch. Unless she believes she is
face to face with stronger power than
herself, her weapons of discussion are ul-
timatums, This unbridled manner does
enormous harm TO her reputation, Wheth-
er it imposes her will on the people whose
weakness ob1iges them to submit in hu-
initiation or whether she gives way as
size will have to do in the quarrel with
Venezuela before unseen resistance Her
moral authority was seriously impaired,
for instance, by Lord Salisburys menac-
ing language to the sultan. A European
concert in regard to the East, far East
or America does not exist because no one
wishes to be associated with England's
diplomatic arrogance or exposed to the
dangers of her brea ches of faith

HEADS OF THE rlOVEr1ENT.

A communication in last weeks Irish
tandard signed can Irish Nationalist"
criticises adversely the new movement in
this country, bas:ng its objections princi-
pally upon what it states to be fact that
the heads of the movement do not possess
tine confidence of the Irish people either in
this country or across the Atlantic
Permitting for the sake Of argument
that Lyman and Sutton and some Of the
other leaders are guilty as charged that
should not deter them from undertaking
q good work. If they have followers who
are determined to assist them, and that
they have such is already manifest
throughout the union, the objections of
an opposing element should cut no figure.
Is it not highly probable that the So
called spotless ones would meet with the
sternest opposition were they themselves
10 inaugurate any movement looking to
Ireland's liberation? Would their meth
DDS not be questioned? Would the per-
sonel be spared in the analyzation of their
,character?. No matter how strenuously
they protested their innocence of any
wrong doing in the past in dealing with
Irish affairs Or Ir:sa finances, would they
I he believed? Admitting their freedom
from guilt would it not he said that their
immaculate record arose from the fact that
they had never been tempted that they
never had a chance?
In saying this It is tn no idea Of con-
doning any wrong that the present leaders
in the movement may have committed to-
wards their trusting fellow Irishmen in
the past, nor does t admit that wrongs
5ilavs sbeen committed. It il assuming

nj only too ling TO respond to the flrst
call TO arms; w: tn all the fortunes Ct war I
IN our favor It is in the breasts nearly
all that the pportunity shall not pass
away. And yet we all uIdl ersta q n. that
war Is a dreadful fatality and al peoples
OF the world should sue for peace unless
national honor is at stake or justice mas
been denied. The Irishmen in this cou4-
try would have double reason for engag-
ing with England in the most deadly strug-
-gle-,the honor Of their adopted country
ard the birthplace Of their children and
the pent-up hatred against, an enemy tnat
never showed them mercy In their hep
lessness nor would ever grant them justice
by peaceful means, after all methods
known to civilization had failed.
There IS one qualification Irishmen
have even should war be denied them now
and that is that they would have the
proud privilege Of seeing England crawling
in the dust and begging to be spared.
But it would appear that the day Of Eng
lands proves will soon pass away. The
Monroe doctrine must certainly come UP
again for the English people cannot give
up their greed and love OF gain any more
than a leopard can change its spots. They
will still further attempt entertainments
either in Venezuela or Alaska, particularly
should the present predicament be gotten
rid of by diplomatic or other means. And
besides the Eastern question is far from
being settled. The snake is scotched but
not killed. And just now she has the
South African trouble on her hands and
through it has lost the favor Of Germany.
so that looking at it from every standpoint
the power of the arrogant, unjust, unscru-
pulous mistress of the seas appears to be
rapidly on the Wane.
The Ir:shmens opportunity shall surely
come.

hydra-headed monster OF jealousy, OF en-

here that even Il these men have been
guilty CO smalfeasance in Office, nisappro-
pr;atiol of funds and betrayal of honest
Ir.sian1en" that they nave ever repentsd.
But even # they have been guilty and still
remain unshriven of their sins they may be
amply capable OF doing much good for the
cause. Why cannot theNpurer minded join
the ranks and thus by their presence and
example leaven the whole lump? 1t is
not charged-or at least it is hoped it Is
not-tlhat the followers of these so-cailed
tainted leaders are also all corrupt and
only await an opportunity of committing
an unworthy act. Why can they not be
guided and to large extent protected by
the better element? If the pea Is offered
that men cannot touch pitch without be-
coming defiled then let the new movement
go IT'S way and let the lofty and pure-mind-
ed men advance to the front and proclaim
themselves as ready to undertake a new,
distinct and Independent course. If they
will demonstrate their worth and are
earnest in tine matter volunteers to fol-
low their standard will not be wanting.
Only let them point the way. An ounce Of
effort is worth a. ton of declaration.
And again. Let the new movement be
closely scanned and when it is seen chat
the blind Is being led by the corrupt and
unworthy then let the warning cry he
raised and prompt measures in opposition
be taken. But until that day arrives, if
it ever will, discouraging sentiments and
felonous accusations should not be re-
sorted to. 1t is SO much easier to cavil
and charge by innuendo, if not plainly
spoken, the lapses of our neighbors than to
accomplish meritorious deeds ourselves.
In these observations no reference is
made to the author of the communication
referred to. He is but giving voice to the
sentiments of those who feel called upon
to oppose the Alliance without waiting
for derelict:ons to become manifest.
