Sexton, the Nationalist Journalist, At
tacks the Address from Throne.
LONDON, Jan 29-Mr. Sexton, the Ma
tionalist and orator from Sligo, delivered
trenchant speech in the commons Friday
night. He sharply attacked the address
from the throne "A rising in arms by the
rebel population of Roumelia, he said, is
conclusive proof to the royal mind Of the
justice of their cause; but the cleo
ton by five-sixths of the population of
Ireland, instead of being dealt with like a
rising in arms as an expression of the desire
of the people, is to be treated, in the
language of the sovereign, as simply re-
gretable and deplorable attempt to excite
hostility against legislative union. What
Is the moral the government wants to drive
home to the people OF Ireland!
Are they to understand that as long
as they confne themselves to orderly,
legal, and constitutional modes of
giving expression to their desires they will
be despised and condemned, and that there is
no probability that the expression of their
desires can be regarded as valid by the gov
eminent until they are driven, and until they
are compelled to rise in arms. \ The
Nationalist party is not called upon al
this stage to define the demands of
the Irish people. 1t is for them to
state grievances and for the gov
ernment, with all its resource; of statesman
ship and knowledge of administration, to
tnd II remedy. 1t is false and delusive to
say that the empire, the supremacy of the
crown, AMI the supremacy of the imperial
parliament is called into question by the de-
mands of the Irish people The supremacy
OF the crown has never been called
into question and the supremacy of
this parliament requires no guar
anty. The danger 10 the in
tegrity of the British empire, SO far as Ire
land is concerned, lies in the perseverance of
the futile and antagonistic policy of keep
ing at their door a discontentet people and
conyulsed society, and their permanent
safety lies in courageousty and frankly at.

giving safe and rational measure of free
dom to the Irish people"

Young James Blank, whose father Is

q suit Of clothes. The suit was sent to
the young mans hotel, but Of course the
tailor got no money for It. A few day
ago as Master James was passing by the
tailor shop the bland proprietor hailed
him with smile.
+Why, Master James," he said, shat
coat Is horribly wrinkled, come in and
we will press it for you" Unsuspect-
ingly he entered and surrendered the
coat Then something was wrong with
the vest, and that too was taken down
stairs for treatment. The tailor next de-
clared that the trousers might be i'm.
proved upon. They were given up and
the youth accommodated with a seat in
the dressing room.
-Now," said the willy tailor, you will
have to send a messenger boy to your
room for your other clothes for l am
afraid we can not let you have this suit
again unless you liquidate the bill in
full"
Young Master James begged hard for
bis clothes, but the tailor was inexorable
and much to his disgust he resumed his
winter garments, and departed.-San
