Another well-known Dublin detective was murdered in a busy street

of the city last Saturday night. He was the fourteenth Irish policeman to be assassinated this year by Sinn Feiners, in pursuance of their campaign of terrorism. It is encouraging to note that the Dublin jury returned a verdict of wilful murder, and that the Lord Mayor made a public protest against the cowardly crime. But until the Irish people begin to realize that a political agitation which depends upon such foul methods as murder and brigandage cannot succeed, and must work infinite harm to Ireland, the outrages will doubtless continue.
