DR. KENEALY’S NEW PAPER

The first number of Dr Kcnealy’s paper, the Englishman , was issued on the 11th April. The new journal looks well, but its matter — unless to such as believe that in this world there is nothing but Dr Kenealy and the person lately a claimant—is wholly worthless. The articles and extracts, with one exception, are full of “ Sir Roger ” and his suffering counsel, and the exception—an article on Bismarck—finds a place because Bismarck is smashing up the Jesuits, Judging from Dr Keuealy’s prospectus to his readers there are two powers in this universe—a clique composed of the Tichborne family and the. Jesuits, and Dr Kenealy. The first is all that is evil, the second is all that is good. The mission of the first is to crush the last, and the last being firmly convinced that if he falls all that is cherished by Englishmen must fall with him, has resolved to overthrow the clique by means of the EnyUshmun. The Englishman, as he informs the world, is to be great on the purity of law and freedom of speech. It is to be the tool of no party. It is to advocate woman suffrage, and the cause of liberty generally, and among its writers are to be persons distinguished in journalism. Of such distinguished persons the first number gives no sign. Not excepting even the extracts from such papers as the Morning Advertiser, the contents read as if they had been written by Dr Kenealy himself. The style throughout is the style of his speech in the Court of Queen’s Bench. It is as wild as need be. A description of “Sir Roger ” in prison shows that deserving person shut up in a small hole, clad in a convict’s garb, fed on skilly and such like miserable diet, deprived of writing materials and books, and treated altogether in a manner which the Doctor considers a “disgrace” to England, For the rest, there is an advertisement by a patriot named Orr, quite in the Doctor’s style, calling on the “ Men of England” to subscribe £30,000, that the Doctor may have an income of £loooa-ycar. The price of the paper is 2d. It is to take advertisements, and the first copy fittingly contains a couple —one about Enoch, and the other about the Apocalypse,
