Tltt mouthingsof Roisa, Finerty, Eagan
and Crowe, and of all others who advocate n
dvnamite policy to secure the independence o
Ireland, only drives sympathy from the Irish
cause.
Poor Lo is creating some excitement in
Mexico, where he has donned war paint and
murdered a score or more of settlers. Uncle
Sam should sit on him till all his courage is
crushed out and he again sues for peace.
The beauties of the city ore seen to greatest
advantace in the early morning hours when
the streets are not yet obstructed by boxes
and bales and the monotonous hum of bust
ntss does not bring one's mind down to Ihe
petty details of existence when the golden
splendor of the sun is driving mystic shadows
away from picturesque church and vine-clad
dwelling when trees and shrubs bend low as
they receive the caresses of Southern zephyrs
freighted with odors of fruits and flowers
when tall spires take on a sheen as ol silver
when the rippling waters of the river mitror
the scenery above them in breaking lines of
light and shadow when nature smiles and
lends to works of art a color and tone the
later strife robs it of before the noonday sun
glares fiercest.
San Antonio has several hotels and nu
merous boarding houses, all of which are
sources of great profit to their proprietors
But the field is not yet filled. Besides room
for a commodious first-class hotel there is
ample space for six or seven first-class board
ing houses. All winter long the city has been
crowded with strangers, many of whom had
difficulty In finding places to rest. Not in
frequently strangers, though willing to pay
large prices for accommodition, were com
pelled to put up with inferior service at second
or third class places. When the I less, the
Ford and the Geistinger opera companies
were here the lack of accommodation was
made evident by the futile attempts of some
of the members to obtain any quarters, how
evef bad. A fortune is awaiting the man who
builds a first-class hotel and the woman who
starts a first-class boarding house.
Tub attention of the Legislatures of other
States Is called to the law regarding the plea
of insanity recently enacted by the Legisla
ture of California. It provides that whenever
a criminal shall have entered a plea of insan
ify as a defense he shall be immediately ex
amined by experts with a view to a determin
ation as to hts mental status. Jf pronounced
sane the plea shall be considered an aggrava
tion of the crime of which he is accused
the verdict be in conformity with his pl-a h
shall be sent to an asylum for lunatics an
not again released unless his sanity at th
time of committing the crime be established
when he shall be tried as if not insane. The
enforcement of such a law will tend to a re
daction of pleas of emotional and tempora
insanity and to the closing of many of th
loopholes of escape presented to criminals by
hair-splitting lawyers learned in the tcchnl
calilies of, their profession and eager to ad'
vance their interests by securing the acquittal
of their clients, even though it be at
pxpenie of their lelfTCjpect,
Till! IUISII DYNAMITE POLICY.
A recent number of the Irish World con
tains a letter signed by Mr. 1". W. Crowe, of
l'eoria, Illinoir. suggesting Ihe burning ol
London with coal-oil. Mr. Crowe, who is nn
Irishman, says: "For this mode of warfare
we ought to have 500 sober, brave men; and
we ought to have $50,000. for ihcir support
aud maintenance for one year in Ihe field;
300 of these men to occupy London, 50 for
Manchester, 50 for Liverpool, 50 for Hristol,
and 50 for Glasgow each of these soldiers on
entering the re pecllve battle-grounds to se
cure a room a furnished one. To that room
e ought to convey a five.gallon can of coal
1 in his trunk, and a box of matches. On a
stormy night, on signal from the officer com
manding, too fires should blaie out in differ
ent parls of London, and fanned by an equi
noctial storm, they would make a blaze that
would be the wonder of the world.'1
Can nnvthing mere infernal than this be
imagined? There are nearly five million in
habitants in the city and environs of London.
To carry out the diabolical plot that Mr. Crowe
suggests would be to massacre hundreds ol
persons, mostly innocent women and children,
and to throw thousands of the poor out of
homes and out of work. Many of the poor
are Irish or of Irish descent It is astonishing
to find that anyone wiU suggest such a diabolic
plot, and still more astonishing that any re
sectable newspaper w II pub ish and commend
And if it were successful it would do no
good. It would only jM-lly incense the hng-
lish people against a race who could suggest,
much less cirry out, such an infernal scheme.
Ireland has lost mny friends, and justice to
that country has been more retarded by the
action of such dastardly, self-styled patriots
than by all other causes. As an instance of
this the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Mr. Burke may be cited That crime oc
curred just at a time when the English
and Irish were nearer trne affiliation than at
any other period of the nation's history and
really good means were being devised for
Ireland's welfare. What was the result?
The sympathy, which had taken years to ere
ate, was seriously wounded il not killed, the
good measure vanished, and England, instead
f meeting Ireland as a loving father and
daughter, met her as a rebellious, cruel child
who needed coercion, and who did not merit
either love or consideration. It was the source
of additional misery and it will be long before
Ireland will regain the position she then lost
by the act of the worthless men who thus de
eradtdhrrin the eyes of the world. Ireland
has her wrongs, but she will never right them
by outrage. The action of such men as
Crowe, O'Donovan Rossi and others of a
like character, have done no good and only
tends to prevent a firm bond of unity between
England and Ireland and the realization of
Erin's brightest dreams.
UAMIILI.NO.
In view of the action recently taken by our
cily authorities in relation to gambling, and

SAN ANTONIO,
Tiiouoii the motive for the prosecution o
Ihe Postmistress of Fort Worth may not have
been commendable the prosecution disclosed
some queer facts. At the office in her chargi
were received 12 sacks of mail consisting of
circulars addressed to citizens of Fort Worth,
several of which were directed to the sam
persons. Postage had been duly paid on th
packages and as nothing in them was an in
fraction of any of the postal rules it was clear
ly the duty of the postal officials to deliver all
the circulars as directed. But this they did
not do. J he I'ostimstrers decided that it wa
us:less to deliver more than one circular to Ihi
same person, and the rest were destrnvi.il
She was arrested, but was subsequently re
leased and the charge against her dismissed
The proceedings indicate the lax mnnmr ir
which postal business is conducted, and force
us to the conclusion that means should be em
ployed to prevent a recurrence of any such
circumstance as lhat made Ihe foundation (nr
complaint against the Postmistress of Fort.
