AN GAOḊAL.
A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM.
What is the difference between the British Gov¬
-ernment who murders the citizens of Alexandria
in cold blood, and destroys their property with
shot, shell, and dynamite, so as to secure the in¬
terest on the bonds of its shylocks
And
O'Donovan Rossa and his compatriots who are stri
-ving to destroy England bythe same means so as
to break the chains which bind them and their
countrymen in the throes of slavery, knowing that
to-day, in the greater part of Ireland an Irishman
commits a felony in the eyes of English law if he
goes outside his own door ((its a question if he
owns himself much less a door) between sunset
and sunrise, reminding the expounder that Rossa
and his compatriots have given as public a notice
of their intentions as Admiral Seymour has done
And,
Secondly, if hereafter assassins would not be
more applicable to Admiral Seymour and his sol¬
diers than to those who strive to shake the bond
of slavery from their limbs through and by what
ever means ?
No sentimental solution of the above problen
will be received. The demonstration must be math¬
emathical — we reserve our own solution.
