ZZ7 m Sana Am. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY- ..JGNE 24. 18S4 THE DYNAMITE BUSINESS. Lokdox, June 20. A Paris corres--pondent of the Times says: Stephens, the es-fenian head center, has' for warded to the active members of the brotherhood at Chicago, a manuscript circular summoning an early meeting at Chicago of prominent Irish-Americans -who are willing to join a new movement in favor of military organ-.-t, r.r, lm line proposed by the into John O. Mahoney. Stephens declares that the services of several distinguished European officers have already been placed at his disposal. He is sanguine that he can secure others. No definite plan of action will be proposed until the convention of the Irish patriots, which is- pro posed soon to be held in Pans. To this convention the Chicago confer ence is invited to elect delegates. After the convention an address will be issued to the Irish at home and abroad, expounding the purpose of i h ftupvr movement. Among the plans of operations mooted is a scheme to dispatch balloons manned with des peradoes over England, and to drop explosives upon town sites below. Captain Mc Cafferty has been com missioned to examine the plans and apparatus. Several feniansin Paris have volunteered for the aerial expe dition. Let us look at this dynamite busi ness in the light of latest develop ments, and from the otandpoint of plainhard common sense. The men engaged in this business claim to be the representatives of a party which demands national inde pendence for Ireland. That they really represent a majority of that party, or even a respeotable minority, we do not believe. Known as "In vincibles," not "Nationalists," they are simply the most radical members of a sufficiently radical organization, who make no attempt to temper their zeal with either discretion or decency, and seem to have no correct appreci ation of the natural and inevitable consequence of their acts. Of their patriotic purpose and willingness to "risk everything to the cause to which they have dedicated themselves there can be no doubt; and this renders their action the more aggravating to all admirers of patriotism and self- sacrifice and all the true friends of Irish nationality. History may be searched in vain for a single instance where the liberty of an oppressed peo ple was assisted by assassination. On the contrary, such liberty ha3 al ways been hindered by assassination, and the emancipation of the op pressed delayed thereby. To "do evil that good may come" is as fatal in politics as in morals; particularly when, as in this case, the evil is so neither palliation nor excuse. Does any sane man suppose that if the ex plosions in London had killed fifty prominent Englishmen and de stroyed a dozen of the finest public buildings, Irish independence would be nearer by an hour than it was be lere: JLoes any sane man suppose that if to-morrow Victoria a'hd Glad stone should be slained by Irish bomb or bullet, and Buckingham palace and Westminister Abbey blown to atoms by Irish mines, England would drop upon her knees and beg Ireland to depart in peace? Is it not as cer tain as anything undetermined can be that if the patrons of dynamite should achieve such diabolical suc cess it would be the beginning of a tremendous failure? -that England, instead of relaxing her grip on Ire land, would tighten it, and that the advocates of mercy and moderation " in dealing with an unhappy country would be swept out of sight by a storm of popular wrath and ven geance? The bitterest enemies of Ireland can not wish her a heavier or deadlier blow than would surely fall if the hitherto comparatively harm less attempts of the Invinciblea should be followed by a wholesale -destruction of life and property. The ' worst tyranny Ireland has ever en dured from England would be mild and benevolent as compared with tho iron yoke which English hands would rivet upon Irish necks. When such as O'Donovan Kossa and his asso- -oiates boast of the blessings which dynamite will bring to Ireland, they show stupendous ignorance of Eng lish nature and of the darkest lessons in Anglo-Irish history. We have no desire to discuss the morality or dignity of tho methods - employed by tho Invincibles. These, fortunately or unfortunately, speak for themselves, and in no doubtful language. Ireland has had as gal lant champions in the past as she has in the present, or can have in the future; men of splendid patriotism, dauntless courage and stainless honor, who did not hesitate to do and dare all for their native land and to seal their devotion witS their blood. Would Lord Edward Fitz gerald. Wolfe Tone, and Robert Em- "met, if alive to-day. sanction the feasassination policy? Would these heroes or their successors in the 4 same heroic work Daniel O'Connell, Smith O'Brien, Thomas Davis, Thos. Francis Meagher, John Mitchell and the rest-approve, much less encour age and assist, the apostles of dyna- mite? Such a supposition is an in sult to their memories. They were willing and proud to combine, to con spire, to rebel, and to fight if need be, for Ireland, but not to assassinate' not to make the innocent suffer for .the sins of the guilty. Every such attempt is a positive and permanent jsjury to the Irish cause, and the longer these attempts continue the Bmaller and feebler the hope that Ireland, free and independent, "will ever.take her place among the nations of the earth. BhAisz has six letters in his.naxne and -was nominated Juho 6,1884, be ing'on the sixth day of- the week, the sixth day of the month, and the sixth month of the year. He was speaker for six years and re-elected in 1876. If elected hq will be the sixth James to beTPresident, and tho world will know the fact by the sixth of No vember. A bank building in Kansas has been carried off.by a cyclone, but Borne of the depositors firmly believe th6t the cashier put up the job.
