The Daily Defamation of the Irish People by the London News Mongers, Hvery Ormme and Accident Oredited to Menianism, The Effcotive Service of the Tele~ graph in Behalf of British Su- premacy. To the Editor of The Bee: Tu view of tho many ocabiegrams, slanderous of the Irish people and thelr leaders, with which the Ameri- can press of the day is filled, permit me to offor a few hastily eoncelved thoughts in defense of that people and those leaders. It sorpasses comprehension that notwithstanding those geatlemen, who digest and manufacture news in Lon- don for the information of American readers, have repeatedly proved their own reliabllity, yet their utterances and conclusions flashed across the oa- ble to this country are accepted' with impliclt coufidence in their trath, by the average Amerioan editor. To the student of contemporaneous events it must be olear that those London news- movgers are but the tools of the Bri- tish government in the vile work of defaming, not only the Irish, butthe French and other European nations in thejeyes of America and for the in- terest of ‘‘English Supremaocy,” an ex- plosion cocurs in Downing atreet, and & woman ‘‘orank” {s alleged to bave been attacked by assassins in her own garden and within a hundred feet of a gardener, publican and soldier, not one of whom heard her allegea soreams or saw the attack; both of these sots are Instantly ocabled to Amerloa as *‘ Fenlan outrages,” ao- companied by denunciations of the Irish people as bratal ruffians and cowardly assassins. The attack upon Lady Dixle has been proven to be nothing more or lezs than the ‘“‘wild imaginationa” of a deceased mind— a hoax, Another ‘‘Irish outrage,” hae been dashed to pleces for want of what thoy all noed—proof, It is_now nearly two weeks slnce the dynamite explosion which, without investigation or reason, was charged to Fonlaniem; aud has there been one iota of evi- dence discovered ocounesting the Irish people, or any part thereof, with that act 7 Certainly not. In the min- ing and manufsctaring distriots ot Eogland and Scotland, there are to- ds of la- day thousands and thou ‘borers outot employment, and conse- Croek, | quently there is great suffering among Theso miserable, people are dangerously fmpatient and harbora deep hoetility towards those who are in power. Tho cables do not tell us of this nor do the editorials of the London papers, but the columns of thoss papers ocontaining the atories of the poor and vastly {ncreasing num. bers of the orimes of violence speak in items., That 1t s to discontents among the employes of The Times the attempt on that paper must be attribu- ed {s shown,by Mr. Jennings in his ter to the New York World. London, too, isan asylum for exolted soclalists, communists and nibilists, While I do not attribute the explosion to sny of these probable causes, I ask, would it not be the duty of an unprejudiced mind, in the face of the circumstance cited, to hesitate and Investigate for evidence that would be thoroughly convincing before charging such an act upon a brave and generous people, lawfally contending for that which all the world concedes is their just due, This the English press has not done. And many hold that the government was the instigator of the explosion, in order to imbitter the English against the Irish, and thus alienate Parnell’s mighty followlng in Eogland and Sootland, and thereby weaken his power—a power which ‘‘Buckshot” Forster admitted would be, were it rot for the Phonix park murders, ir- resistible in the politics of the day. Bat whether the gayernment did or did not Instigate the explosion, the tact that the London ministerial papers, without investigation' and without reason, charged it upon the Irlsh people, at so critical a period in Irish politics lead to the same result and 18 equally criminal, But it Is answered that O’Donovan Rossa clalms oredit for the aot. Granted that he committed the crime, baut there is not a prominent Irishman in thh country who believes that R jssa knew anything about the explosion before the rest of the American peo- ple. Who has authorized Rossa to speak for the Irlsh people or any por- tion of them? Why listen to his de- claratlons and turn a deaf ear to Par- nell and Sullivan O'Donnell and others who have been tried and hon- ored by the Irlsh people and commis- sloned to speak for them? They re pudiate 1t and place it, #hero I belleve it belongs, upon the Engllsh govern- ment, As well charge the assasina- tlon of Garfield apon the s'alwart part of the republican party, or that of Lincoln, by Booth, upon the South. ern people, as charge tho aots andsay- gs of O'Donovan Roesa upon the Irish peoplo. Bat this says the reader does not account for the crimes that are belng daily committed 1n Ireland, Lot the reader transport himselt in imagination to the famine haunted shores of Western Ireland and then vlew the native owner of the soll surrounded by a fertile country, in the very midst of plenty, dylng from starvation.

Strike from the record the agrarian and other politioal outrages and Ireland is al- most free from crime. 8o, then,would any people on submit to a system of government such as emanatee from Dablin Oastle? whioh the son of the premler, Her- bert Gladstone, recently sald was a to clvilization.

Would -mrmlt these statements oould y substanti- ated by faots which are of record. But they will ocour to the reader without belng mentioned here, For- ster’s recent brutal and vulgar attack upon the Irish leader in the house of commons, by charging him with con- niving at crime, is too absurd tc merit a serious answer, and only deserves the contemptuous reply made by Mr. Parnell. It is uoreasonable to at- tribute to him that which is a standing menace to bis powor and fame., Re- move those ‘‘outrages,” and Eogland is left withovt an argumect for the tyrannical “‘coerclon acts." But they wlill exist as long as Eogland refuses to treat Ireland with justice and hu- manity, or until the total disruption of tbl:‘::'hd “:nlon—l nnlol; unnultv;d lL: corraption, branght for amid the walls and wolemn. pro- tests of a despoiled nation, and perpetuated by perfidy and cruelsy, unequaled in the history of nations. But this hypocritical Quaker, Fora- ter, seems to have forgotten his speech delivered in 1864, in the House of Commous, when he praised and de- fended as a pure and noble minded man, Mazzinl, whom Gladstone acous- ed of making ‘‘common cause with as- saseins,” and who blessed the use of the knife and the dagger, and lauded as & patriotio act the muni-r of Count Rosst, the Itallian minister, on the ateps of the Capital. But I have for. gotten. Mazzinl was suoceseful in at- tainiog his end, and hence his fame. The assassins of Oavendish and Burke were not successful in overthrowing the hated system of government and are consequently coversd with appro- bium, By this do not understand me as sanotioning those heneous crimes, Faram Ifromit. I regard them as the greatest obstacles in Ireland's progress and the most effective Instra- ments in the oppression and miseries of Ireland, They have been for cen- turies the apologists, before the world of Eoglish orime and croelty in unfortunate Ireland. offer this to show inconslstences of those Ohristian statesmen., To the English govern- ment must be charged those crimes of men made desperate by unjust laws barbarously administered, and not to the Irish people or Mr. Parnell, thelr noble leader.
