AT HOME RULE

Editor
REBELLION HAS FAILED
Dublin lnsurreetion Engineered by
irreeoneilable Opponents Of tho
Irish Constitutional Move
ment
REBELLION HAS FAILED

New York;. c. Wash. editor OF
ireland. received a cable message
from John Redmond. in which the
Irish Nationalist leader reiterated his
recent statement that the Dublin In
mrrection was organized in America
As well as ireland by the irrecon-
rilable enemies OF Home Rule" and
begged our people in American not
10 be disturbed by this futile and mis-
erable attempt 10 destroy Ireland" for
Il had definitely finally failed The
message follows:
1.-THE attempt to torpedo Home
Rule and the Irish party has failed.
Damage has been done, life has been
| lost, but the ship has not been sunk.
The whole thing has been organized
| BY those i'm ireland and in America
who have always been the open and
| ,rreconcilable enemies of Home Rule
and of the Irish party. Though the
hand of Germany was in the whole
| Thing IL was not 80 much sympathy
| for Germany as hatred of Home Rule
and OF us which was at the bottom OF
| The movement. II was even more an
attempt 10 hit us than TO hit Eng
land
The whole disgraceful plot Is
viewed with execrationl by the Irish
people. II was almost entirely "A Dub
lin movement, partly the creation OF
the Sim Fein cranks and German
agents there. partly OF the remnants
of that mass OF discomfort and an
srchy which was left by the disastrous
I.arkinite strike. I'm few small
towns there were attempts at distur-
bance. which were easily suppressed,
but ireland as "A whole has remained
perfectly tranquil.
THE movement In Dublin is near
Ing it's end. In spite or the amount
of bloodshed which II has caused. the
movement. even in Dublin. was little
more than the seizure by surprise OF
n few buildings, streets and houses.
II was sydney street or Fort Chab-
rol on larger scale. and as In both
eases IL took greater time and greater
energy 10 put Il down than a larger
and more serious movement In the
open field.
II am happy 10 be able TO state
that even in it's desire TO play into
the hands or the enemies or Home
Rule I'm England the movement has
been Just as great failure as In
ireland. for the public and the press
I'm England have remained quite
calm have appraised the value and
Understood the purpose OF the rebels
and no attempt has been made In
any quarter TO make capital out oi
II to damage the cause OF Home
Rule,
Il am convinced that many old OBJ
ponents OF home rule will be pro-
foundly impressed by these events
and will come 10 the same conclusion
az Irish Nationallsts reached Ions
ago. that the one security for good
order as well as good government In
ireland is a native executive and
Parliament backed by Irish opinion
and that III such an executive had
been in existence during the last si,
months there would have been nc
Dublin riot
AS TO tho opinion OF the Irisf
race. I have received communication
from all parts OF the world declaring
vehement condemnation by Irishmer
of this insane and wicked attempt tc
destroy all Ireland's hopes just a
the moment when after centuries o
vain struggle they were about 10 BE-
fully realized beg our people In
American not 30 be unduly disturbed
by this futile and miserable attemp
90 destroy Ireland. II has failed
definitely. finally failed
