People by the London News
Mongers ,
Every Crime and Accident

The Effective Strvloe of the Telegraph -

premacy-
To the Editor ot Tfto lcc :
In view of the many cabiogramo ,
slanderous of the Irish people and
their leaders , with which the Ameri
can press of the dny is filled , permit
mo to ott'or a few hastily conceived
thoughts In defense of that people and
thoao leaders.
It surpasses ] comprohonolon that
notwithstanding thoao gentlemen , who
digest and manufacture nowa In Lon
don for the Information of American
readers , have repeatedly proved their
own reliability , yet their utterances
and conclusions flashed across the ca
ble to this country are accepted * with
Implicit confidence In their truth , by
thu average American editor. To the
student of contemporaneous events It
must bo clear that those London news
mongers are but the tools of the Bri
tish government in the vile work of
defaming , not only the Irish , but the
French and other European nations
in thojoyes of America and for the in
terest of "English Supremacy , " an ex
plosion occurs in Downing street , and
a woman 'crank" Is alleged to have
boon attacked by assassins in her own
garden and within a hundred foot of
a gardener , publican and soldier , not
ono of whom hoard her allegoa screams
or saw the attack ; both of these
acts are Instantly cabled to
America as "Fenian outrages , " ac
companied by denunciations of the
Irish people as brutal ruffians and
cowardly ivsansslna. The attack upon
Lady IJixlo has been proven to bo
nothing morn or lets than the "wild
imaginations" of a deceased mind
a hoax. Another "Irish outrage , "
hat been dashed to pieces for want of
what they all need proof , It isnosv _
nearly two weeks elnco the dyuamito
explosion which , without Investigation
or reason , wan charged to Fontauiam ;
and has there been ono iotn of ovl-
donoo discovered connecting the
Irish people , or any part thereof , with
tfmtact ? Certainly not. In the min
ing and manufacturing districts ot
England und Scotland , there are to
day thousands and thousands of la
borers outot employment , and consequently
quently there la great Buffering among
iriein. Thtso miserable , people are
dangerously impatient and harbora
deep iioRtiiity towards thoao who are
la power. The cables do not toll aa
of Una nor do the editorials of the
London papers , but the columns of
tiioso paper * containing the stories of
thu poor and vastly Increasing num
bers of the crimes of violence apeak
in Items. That It Is to discontents
among the employes of The Times the
attempt on that paper must bo attrlbu-
ed Is ehown'by Mr. Jennings In hlslet-
tor to the Now York World. London ,
too , Is an asylum for excited socialists ,
communists and nihilists. While I do
not attribute the explosion to any of
those probable causes , I ask , would it
not bo the duty of an unprejudiced
mind , In the face of the circumstance
cited , to hesitate and Investigate for
evidence that would bo thoroughly
convincing before charging such an
act npon a bravo and generous people ,
lawfully contending for that which all
the world concedes Is their just duo.
This the English press has not done.
And many hold that the government
was the instigator of the explosion , In
order to imbllter the English against
the Irish , and thus alienate Parnoll's
mighty following In England and
Scotland , and thereby weaken his
power a power which "Buckshot"
Foritor admitted would bo , were It
cot for the I'll ( a nix park murders , Ir
resistible in the politics of the day.
But whether the government did or
did not Instigate the explosion , the
fact that the London ministerial
papers , without Investigation * and
without reason , charged It npon
the Irish people , at BO critical
a puriod In Irish politico lead to the
same result and Is equally criminal.
But it Is answered that O'Donovan
Rosia claims credit for the act.
Granted that ho committed the crime ,
but tboro la not a prominent Irishman
In thh country who believes that R ssa
know anything about the explosion
before the rest of the American people
ple , Who baa authorized Rossa to
speak for the Irish people or any portion
tion of them ? Why listen to his do-
derations and tnrn a deaf ear to Far-
neil and Sullivan O'Donnoll and
others who have been tried and hon
ored by the Irish people and commis-
Bloned to apeak for them ? They re
padlatc It and place It , * here I believe
It belongs , upon the English govern
ment. Aa well charge the assaslna-
tlon of Gbrfiold upon the stalwart part
of the republican party , or that of
Lincoln , by Booth , upon the South
ern people , as charge the octn and say
ings of O'Donovan Rocsa npon the
Irish pooplo. But this saya the reader
dooa not account for the crimrs that
are being dally committed In Ireland.
Lot the reader transport himself In
Imagination to the famine haunted
shores o.f Western Ireland and
then view the native owner
of the soil surrounded by a fertile
country , In the very midst of plenty ,
dying from starvation. Look at the
hungry crazed women and children ,
bawling with the beasts of the Held
lot the nnnntrltloua sea weed. Oomo
with mo Into the cabin of misery ,
where starvation hold court and wit
ness the dying mother , stater , child or
wife lying npon a "sop" of straw ,
spread npon a damp earthern floor ,
without spark to temper the bitter
cold , while the sharp winds of mid
winter inoan a sad misery through the
classless wlndowa or broken door. I
look npon them dying , slowly dying ,
for want of broad , whllo within their
very view is plenty , the products of a
son , father or brother's labor , but
which they dare not touch. It must
bo Bold that the absentee landlord may
bo kept In riot and debauchery In the
club roomn of London or Paris. I
ask the candid reader who la responsi
ble for the so-called outrages propo-
tratod in search of food ? The father
or brother driven mad by hunger ,
supplemented by such scones as I have
vainly attempted to describe , or the
government which by Its aoursod laws
sustains and fosters a "system pro
duotlvo of such torrtblo results ; " a
government which when appealed to
for relief gives the sufferers a "atone
for bread" their oholco of these ( as
Oarlylo calls thorn ) "human swineries"
the poor house , oxllo or death.
They generally select the latter. Strike
from the record the agrarian and ether
political outrages and Ireland Is al
most free from crime. So , then , would
any people on earth peaceably
submit to a system of government
Booh as omanatoe from Dublin Castle ?
which the son of the premier , Her
bert Gladstone , recently said was a
dlegraoo to civilization. Is there any
people who would submit to laws con
colvcd In ignorance and hate and ad
ministered by drunken ruffians ? who
hare boon elevated to tbo orrnino not
because of their purity ot character
and learning In the law , bnt a a rec
ognition of their political debasement
and whoso promotion depends npon
their ability to Interfere with the
slightest possible shade of jnstioo inch
barbarous and antiquated atatntos aa
that of Edward III , nndor which the
prisoners at Dublin and Belfast are
being tried , a statute passed before
Columbus set foot npon America 1
How can they bo expected to ao-
qnloice in the findings of
a jury npon which a liberal
Protestant or Catholic , will not be
permitted to servo the prisoner hav
ing put twenty challenges , whllo the
government's is unlimited. Or In the
verdict of a jury which will convict
npon the unsupported testimony of
Bolf convicted perjurers and mur
derers. Would apace permit these
statements could bo easily substanti
ated by facts which are of record.
Bnt they will occur to the reader
without being mentioned hero. For-
stor'n recent brutal and vulgar attack
upon the Irish loader In the honso of
commons , by charging him with con
niving at crlmo , Is too absurd tc merit
a sorlous answer , and only deserves
the contemptuous reply made by Mr.
Pnrnoll. It Is unreasonable to at
tribute to him that which is a standing
inonnco to his powar and fame. Ru-
move these "outrages , " and England
is loft without an argument for thu
tyrannical "coercion acts. " But they
will exist as long as England refuses
to treat Ireland with justice and hu
manity , or until the total disruption of
the bated union a nnion conceived in
bribery and corruption , brought forth
amid the walla and solemn pro.
testa of a despoiled nation , and
perpetuated by perfidy and cruelty ,
nnequaled In the history of nations.
But this hypocritical Quaker , Fora-
ter , seems to have forgotten his
speech delivered in 1804 , In the Honso
of Commons , when he praised and defended -
fended as a pnre and noble minded
man , Mazzlnl , whom Gladstone accus
ed of making "common cause with as-
oasslns. " and who blessed the nso of
the knife and the daegor. and landed
as a patriotic act the murder of Oonnt
Rossi , the Italllan minister , on the
steps of the Capital. But I have for
gotten. Mazzlnl waa anonosiful In at
taining his end , and honoo hia fame.
The assassins of Cavendish and Burke
were not successful in overthrowing
the hated system of government and
are consequently ooversd with appro-
blnm. By this do not understand mo
aa sanctioning those henoous crimes ,
Far am I from It. I regard them as
the greatest obstacles In Ireland's
progress and the most effdctlvo Instru
ments In the oppression and miseries
of Ireland , They have boon for cen
turies the apologists , before the world
of English crime and cruelty In
unfortunate Ireland. But I
offer this to show the base
Inoonslutoncos of these Christian
statesmen. To the English government
mont must bo charged these crimes of
men made desperate by unjust laws
barbarously administered , and not to
the Irish people or Mr. Parnoll , their
noble leader.
I was amazed when I road THE
BEE'S editorial sanction of the course
of Russia In calling a oonforonco of
the powers to devise means for the
suppression of ulhlllsm , and the many
other political Issues that disturb En
rope. Would It not bo moro In con
souanoo with the spirit of the a o and
of humanity itself for snob a oonfor
once to summons the leaders of these
ISBUOI before It and to enquire into
their grelvanoea and try and remove
them by remedial legislation ? For
grolvances , many and great they have ,
This Is what Ireland now asks , and
