Dean of Dublin, says: "The attempted assassination of the Viceroy, which Startled and shocked the city, calls for the nudanclioly protest of " every Irishman. who loves his country and-who hopes to see the present rule by coetche government brought to «' final close." He continues: "Is there any rational man capable of deluding himself into the belief thjjt such a method of seeking redress for the misgovornnifint of Ireland is likely to help the efforts of tho righteous men who are working earnestly with the single purpose of re-establishing in the country a reign of liberty and jus'tice? Many amongst us are old enough to remember the feeling with which, nearly forty years ago, all Ireland heard of the murders at. l'hocnix Park. ■ It was the vain hope of the actors in that awfui tragedy that they were making the hi-, turc government of Ireland an impossi* bility. The result of tho wrong course fortv venrs ago was that the prospect of reform, such as it then was, became far dimmer instead <jf brighter, and Ireland, was brought under a system of coercion the like of whicli we must all hope and pray we will never be condemned (o again."—Aus.-Ji.X-.
