THE DUKE OF ARGYLE
publishes in todsy's Times a letter
concerning the United States and Ire
land. Heeays that despite the ma
tional synpathies there ia profound
ignorapee in England and in the Uni
ted States respecting each others con-
stitution. He admits bis own igno-
rarcs at the beginning of the Ameri-
can civil war ia eympathizing with
the South. He says the sympathy OF
the Americans for the Irish in their
present struggle aIis's from the error
OF thinking Of Ireland as an American
STATE and that English ara withhold
ing from Ireland powers similar to
those possessed by the different States
Of the American Union. "Nothing,"
Heys the Duke, "coud be more eiro-
neous than this idea" Referring to
the right of each of the United States
to due share of the general powers
of Congress and to the checks in it's
powers of self-gOvernmeDt, which each
State allows, he says MIR. Gladstone's
proposal violates bath these grand
principles, "lor the corrupt and i'm
moral bargain banishes Ireland from
the imperial councils aud suFrenders
the minority entirely into the hands
of the local maj GRITTY" "Americans;"
hs adds, would perhaps hardly believe
this, but it is strictly true. The pre-
tended limitations and restraints
against local tyranny are quite illu
sory." The Duke then appeals to
Americans to clearly understand the
Unionist contention. namely, "that it
has been for Ireland's sake solely that
the Unionists have given opposition to
Mr.. Gladstone's Irish scheme"
The letter concludes as follows: at
is the Unionists and not the members
of the government who are fighting
for the liberties OF the Irish people.
Even II Mr.. Parnell were immortal, or
II his party represented far larger
numerical majority OF the Irish people
than 1t really does, neither he nor
they would have right to dispose of
the constitutional rights of Ireland.
We don't desire 10 see Irelond re-
duced TO the condition of being but a
tributary province and banished
from the imperial counsels. Neither
can we see her endowed with power
over her own people which no civil

We desire 10 see her continue sharing
in the deliberations which the elo.
