A London cablegram sage: Trulh has the following remarks on the rieh Home Rule: “ Home Rule has taken its place in the arena of practical politics because Englishâ€" men are beginning to see that they will eventually have to accept it. There is no more reason why we English should claim the right to make land laws for Ireland than for Canada or New Zealand. I ven- ture to radial; that within twanty years it will he t ought {nonstgouq that go should ever have dznied the Irish so self-evident t rjght.’ ‘ A. great and painful sensation has been caused by the letter of Mr. Smythe, brother-in-law oi the lady who was mur- dered in his carriage in Ireland. to Mr. Gladstone. He says: “ I lay the '1t 02 this deed of blood at your door in t e (ace of the whole country, supported as you are in that part of your policy by the ' no rent ’ members of Parliament, by their press and by some of the Irish bishops." Mr. Bmythe goes on to say that the terrorism under the Gladstone policy is so tremendous that few who abhor the crime would venture to denounce the assassins had they seen them. If they did so their lives would be forfeited, while the prisoners would almost as surely escape after the farce of a trial by jury. This terrible letter received but a short reply from the Prime Minister. who expressed hisdeep and heartfelt sym thy. and said he was confident that . Smythe would readily understand why he does not notice the matters charged in the letter. Her Majesty wrote from Montana requesting to be informed of the condition of Lady Henrietta Monok, who was in the carriage with Mr. Smythe and the unfortu- nate lad , and who continues prostrated by the shooi. Feariul as was this assassina- tion and that of Mr. Herbert. the English public mind continues to view compara- tively with complacency the dreadful scenes daily enacted on the lonely and fbleak mountain sides, where cavalry. infantry. and oonstabulary evict from land held at 50 per cent. above the valuation the miserable creatures whose bodies and souls can scarcely hold together. Who can won- der that the exasperation of such ‘ hts has produced that terrible figure in m art: history, the maskedaseassin l_ _ Major Twill, a resident magistrate, writes from Claremorris reoommendm that cer- tain death he the penalty for a attempt at murder. He says that he has often been threatened, and has been warned that his assassination has been actually paid for. but he defies the assassins.
