Inc article wnlch appeared IN q London paper

contends that the Irish people respect all laws,
human and divine, more than do the English or
IN ireland In proportion to population than In Eng.
land or scotland that the Irish are more vlrtuous
more religious, more law-aDlding Oficial statis-
TICS he says, prove this. The murder of a land
owner or two by some desperate wretch cannot be
taken as an indication that the whole people are
