[ rnou THK HF.K'S LINCOLN nuiiEA.tr. |
The interest wns universal in Lincoln
yesterday when the BEE furnished the
complete report of the proclaiming of
the Irish National league by the English
government. At this city are located the
headquarters and offices of the Irish Na
tional league and in this city is the homo
of lion. Patrick Egan , who m both Ire
land and America has boon in the front
ranks In the league organizations and in
tlio struggles of the Irish people that
have csxiutcd public attention for years.
What the proclaiming moans and how
the Irish people on both smcs of the
Atlantic regard it and its ultimate cfl'ect
ro questions familiar to Mr. Eagan and
upon whirh ho can express an intelli
gent opinion. To present Mr. Egan's
views in detail to the BKK , that gentleman -
man was called upon yesterday and the
question discussed at length.
Mr. Egan said : "Tho proclamation is
based on a lie. The lord Hciitcnant goes
on to say , 'Whereas we are satisfied that
there exists in Ireland an association
known by the name of the Irish National
league , and that the said association in
parts of Ireland promotes and incites tenets
nets of violence and intimidation and in *
tcrfcres with tlio administration of the
law , etc. ' As a matter of fact , the league.
Instead of inciting to acts of violence and
intimidation , has always boon the
strongest guardian of peuco and order.
Wherever the league was strong and
active in a district or count ) , there waste
to be found an almost complete absence
of crime , but wherever the league was
weak , there you would find house-burn
ings and landlord-shooting. The fact is
the government have no need of this
coercion policy for the purpose of deal
ing with crime , as that term is under
stood iu America , because there is less of
It iu Ireland than in any other country
In the world. Its real purpose is to
coerce and intimidate the down.trodden
tenantry and to aid the landlords
to collect their rack routs. Noth
ing but the blindest infatuation
and the most ingrained stupidity
could have impelled the lories
to enter on such a policy. This stop has
done morn to advance thu home rule
' cause than all that the friends of the
movement could achieve if left to their
own resources during the ne\t live years.
It has insured the early and complete tri-
\impli of the policy of Mr. Gladstone.
Its effect In Ireland will bo to heal up
any dill'ereuccs that may exist in the na
tional ranks and to unite the whole coun
try as one man against the infamous at
tempt against public liberty. In Eng
land it will convert the wavering liber
als to the standard of Gladstone , in
America it will strengthen and conform
the rapidly growing sympathy for Ire
land amongst native Americans , while it
will bo the means of unitingand moiling
Irish in America to renewed and more
vigorous exerlions in behalf of the old
land. Proclaiming the league and sup
pressing it are two different things , us
the lories will very soon find out. The
league in Ireland will bo compelled to
. carry on Its organization on other lines ,
and ! know from long experience that
there is a charm for our people
in secret organization which will
stimulate them to any amount of worker
or saorilico that mav bo noecssarv to de
feat I lie government. In 1881 the Glad
stone government proclaimed the land
league , and the experiment taught them
such a lesson that Gladstone and nearly
all the loaders of his party have become
homo rulers. I do not anticipate the
conversion of the torics , because , like UIP
bourbons , they are incapable of learning
anything , but I do anticipate that within
three months of the opening of the next
session of parliament they will bo com
pletely and ignomimously routed by the
champions of Irish homo rule. Already
strong indications of the disruption of
the 'unholy alliance' are cropping out in
the secession of Chamberlain and Russell
from the liberal unionists.
Now that the government have com
mitted the blunder of proclaiming the
league ; they must , of course , take stops
to enforce their proclamation , and to do
that they will bo compelled to imprison
consfdora.blo numbers of the people , in
cluding , no doubt , many of tlio promi
nent leaders. This will undoubtedly stir
up thn passions of the people and as
many of the moro active and desperate
amongst the younger men of the move
ment arc in no frame of mind to tolerate
trilling these will , I very much fear , bo
bloody work rivaling if not surpassing
the deplorable scenes of other coercion
times and the responsibility will bo
placed by nil thinking men where it '
properly belongs , on tlio shoulders of '
the stupid and truculent lory government
of England. "
COUNTY POLITICS.
Since the calling of the republican
county convention tor the ! 3rd of Septem
ber county politics have assumed active
proportions and the different candidates
re as active us beavers each in his own
tndivlaual Interests. There are three or
four candidates for e , ch oilico and the
prospects for lively primaries is refresh
ing. Among the latest candidates iu the
Hold is Tom Carr , of the tirst ward , who
is running for sheriff. It is not devel
oped yet whether the Journal has com
menced its former policy of turning ever
subscriptions for work in the wards but
the ancient machine will undoubtedly
try to run things notwithstanding that K
was democratic four months ago.

How O. B. Srlilen Was Murdered
Yesterday Alfred Selden received a letter -
tor from his father D. J. Seldon , who is
at Lusk , Wyoming , attending to the dis
position of the remains of O. B. Seldon ,
who was shot dead a mysteriously last
Sunday night. In describing the murder
Justice Selden bay it happened about 9
o'clock in the evening while the victim
was seated at a table casting up accounts.
Two shots were fired through tha window ;
the first piercing his heart and kill
ing him instantly. la falling
he extinguished the lamp ,
so that the next shot which evidently was
meant for Mrs. SelUon , missed its mark
and struck the wall above her head. The
cries of Mrs. Soldon startled the neigh
bors nd they rushed to her assistance.
The lamp was re-lighted , and the form
of the prostrate man was lifted and
placed on the sofa when to their horror
they discovered ho was dead ! No trace of
the murderer could be found. The
course of the second bullet was traced
J through two plaster partitions , to the
ceiling of the summer , and
thence to the floor where a
plain indentation was made.
The ball could nowhere be found ,
however , and it is thought that ono of
the neighbors who was assisting in the
church had quietly thrust it into his
pocket. This has aroused strong suapic
ions that this person , whoever lie is , is
guilty of the murder. The town of Lusk
is greatly excited over the matter , but no
clew whatever can bo discovered as to
the identity of the murderer. It is thought
that the perpetrator of the deed
meant first to kill Mr. and Mrs. Selden ,
and then make way with the money and
other valuables in the house. It is also
thought the deed might have boon
prompted by proprietary troubles. At
the post mortem examination the fatal
minio ball was found lodged near the
spine of the deceased. As the ball did
not have sufficient force to go entirely
through the body it is thought it must
have been lircd from a ghotguu , or some
other weapon in which the ball fitted
loosely. The Inquest was hold Friday.
Yesterday the body was taken to Man-
villo and temporarily interred. Mr. D.
J. Soldon will possibly return to Omaha
the latter part of this week ,
