One hundred years ago
Mr A. M. Sullivan, writing to the American papers, delivers a very sensible homily on the impolicy as well as the wickedness of the so-called 'dynamite' outrages. He insists on the utter baseness of the plans of universal murder, and he also explains their frightful cruelty to the Irish residents in English cities. To these sensible and manly words, written last month, the attempt on the Local Government Office gives a completely new force, and we only trust that the Irish in America will profit by them, and instead of sending in more subscriptions to the weak and wicked men who ad- vocate the use of dynamite, will take an early opportunity of marking their disgust at their counsels in some very emphatic and intelligible form. The dynamite that only injures English buildings, wrecks Irish hopes far and wide.
Spectator, 24 March 1883
