ERIN'S CRY OF CIVIL WAR
ULSTER ORANGENIEN INDULGE
IN INCENDIARY SPEECHES.

FarcicAl.
DUBLIN, Dec. 1s.-The Daily Express,
a constant upholder OF the loyalist cause,
devotes leading article this morning pic
turing the consequences which would re-
suit from home rule in Ireland. II the
demands of the Parnellites are granted,
and any such scheme Of home rule
is attempted as Mr.. Gladstone has been
credited with contemplating, the ErpresS
declares, civil war would not be unlikely
to follow. There would be such clash
ing OF class interests, such a rivalry be-
tween the friends OF the old regime and
the partisans of the new order of things
that civil strife could hardly be avoided,
and in case such eXtremities were pre-
vented IL is perfectly certain that there
would stlll be endlesss friction between
the imperial government and that OF
! Ireland.
MIR. MACARTNEY's OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Mccartney, Conservative, who was
member for Tyrone III the last Parlia-
| ment, declared to-day that the adoption OF
any form OF home rule would be indirect
violation Of the constitution under the
provisions of which thousands of English
men and Scotchmen have invested money
in Ireland. To grant Ireland home rule,
be says, would be to betray the minority
in Ireland, and the English people would
be held responsible for the consequences.
LoYALIsT DEMONSTRATION.
The city OF Armagh, in the province of
| Ulster, was to-day the scene OF an I'M
mense lOyalIst demonstration. Several
/ addresses were made by prominent
| loyalists, who were in no way chary in
the expression of their sentiments. The
/ gathering was characterized by some
very enthusiastic expressions in opposi-
! ti0n TO the home rule doctrine. Following
the utterances of its leaders, who enun-
| ciated a bold avowal against Mr.. Par
| nelPs policy, the meeting adopted series
OF resolutions expressive of its belief that
a resort 10 home rule principles would be
! certain sooner or later to eventuate in
\ actual civil war, and further eXhorting
the Loyalist party to 20 to the utmost
| length in resisting the efforts Of the home
rule advocates.
| RAISING THE RELIGIOUS CRY.
The resolution also commended the
| Loyalists in Ireland TO the full and de-
served sympathy OF all Protestants
| throughout the British kingdom. The
assemblage was imbued with "A feeling
that had not for very long time mani
/ tested itself in any LOyaist demonstra-
| ton in Ireland. The speakers were bold
| and actually defiant in declaring their
views on the pending political situation
| and more than one of them bOasted with
| degree of earnestness that aroused re-
peated cheers from the listeners that the
| LOyalist party in Ireland was ready to
meet whatever issue might be presented.
"The Ulster Orangemen are ready to come
| TO the 'front.'" said one of the speakers,
amid great applause; "and when their
services are wanted 10000 men can readi-
| ly be put into the field for active service
| in defense of the cause OF loyalty TO the
| government"
LOSS OF CONTROL.
! LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The Times says:
''The real danger is that amid the endless
| pTOtestations against separation and the
| illusOry safeguards Of imperial unity, the
| control OF the Commons Will be gone, and
/ will never he recovered except by civil
war. We trust Englishmen will perceive
this before it is too late. IL would be bet
| ter to cut of connection absolutely, and
| to provide for dealing with Ireland as an
| open foe than to arm traitors by the farce
Of pretending to maintain unity without
| the power to enforce single law disap-
proved at Dublin"
The excitement throughout Great Brit
anon the subject of home rule for Ire
land continues without abatement. The
newspapers Of all shades Of opinion and
| politics are urging Mr. Gladstone to speak
| definitely in regard 10 his plans. The late
| Premier in response to a telegram sent,
boldly asking him for information in ref
erence to the Irish home rule scheme
which it is report, he has had under con-
sideratiOn sometime replied as follows:
| "FrOm my public declarations at Edin-
! burg respecting the Government of Ire
| land, you will easily see that | have no
| further communication 70 make"
THE DECLARATION.
In the speech referred to by Mr.. Glad
stone, which he delivered on Nov. II, he
said in effect, in reply 10 Mr.. ParnelPs
| suggestion TO give local self-gOvernment
TO Ireland, that when he learns through
the constituted channel what the wishes
| Of Ireland are he will give them attentive
consideration, but that he cannot gain
this knowledge until the new Parliament
meets.
GosCHEN's OPPOSITION.
] George j. Gosohen, VINO belongs to the
! Wing branch Of the Liberal party, and
who was elected member Of Parliament
\ for the East division Of Edinburgh in the
| late election, having been asked to-day for
/ his opinion OF the reported scheme Of home
/ rule for Ireland, replied by telegraph,
/ and he maintained his hitherto expressed
convictions against Irish home rule, and
| that he could not comment on any scheme
Of that nature until the scheme had been
| fully declared.
HARRINGTON MAKES A DENIAL.
The Marquis Of Harrington, who was
| Secretary Of War in Mr.. GladstOne's
| Cabinet. declares that he has not ap-
| proved the scheme As had been intimated
| In certain quarters.
John O'Connor Power, Nationalist
member OF Parliament, In an inter-
view to-day, approved the scheme,
which, he said, was fair one and
was based on the scheme Of DR.. Butt,
a former Irish leader. Mr.. Power
did not, however, approve the proposition
| that the Crown, as a guarantee, have the
! right 10 nominate portion Of the men,
/ bers OF the Irish Parliament. That prOpO-
/ sitiOn he characterized as too absurd for
serious consideration. He added that Mr.
! Parnelps candid acceptance Of the scheme
would be necessary In order TO Justify the
/ government In introducing such a
measure.
