John Mitchell, the Irish exile. who
sails to-day for Ireland to take part in
politics there, says no good can come to
Ireland from the British Parliament, and
Ireland can never be prosperous and
happy till she has complete control of
her destinies, and the connection with
England is entirely severed. With re-
gard to the present Home Rule move

more determined in England than Home
