HOME rule Is again beginning to look up
in Ireland, as the ferceness of the | llslerites
is being discovered to be only bluster. These
people comprise only little more than one
half the population of Ulster. The Paria-
mentary representation of Ulster is about
evenly divided between Tories and Parnel-
lites. The Oraugemen, or Ulster LuyalIsts,
as they now call themselves. have been the
Irish pets of the British government since
the time of William III. Coercion acts, re-
striction acts, or any deprivation OF freedom
that Ireland has been subjected to from time
to time, have never been enforced in Ulster.
In fact the Orangemen have been more Eng
lish than the English themselves, and greater
enemies of Ireland, as represented by the
majority of its people, than any government
England has ever had. Although the Ulster
loyalists are less than 10 per cent of the pop
ulation OF Ireland, heretofore their in
tiuence was dominant with the gov
ernment in Irish affairs. The writ of habeas
corpus was never suspended for the purpose
of filling the iails with Orangemen. The
blood of Orangemen has never been shed on
the altar of their country. Otaugemen have
no sympathy with Irish patriotism-have no
sentiments Uncommon with the great bod Y
of the Irish people. The Orangemen, in fact,
comprise an English colony and were never
naturalizeG. They don't want to be known
or recognized as Irishmen. Their tastes
feelings and instincts are English, aud nat.
urally they desire to maintain a close polit
| cal connec tion with England. OF course, in
| the event of the establishment of an lrist
| Parliament the Orangemen would bea hope
| less minority. Hence these tears

THE temperance societies in Great
Britain have cause for encourage
ment in the recent statement by the
ministry in the House of Commons.
The income from the liquor tax is
alling off so seriously as to cause the
ministry to look about for ways and
means to supply a deficiency of more
than FL 100000. The change is due
solely, as one of the Administration
politely puts it, 'tto g. change in the
habits of the people" This, inter
preted, means that the people are u.s.
ing less spirituous liquor and more tea,
coffee, fruit and tobacco. In is said
that the temperance people have gone
TO work with greater energy than ever
and a renewed determination to make
the liquor deficiency in the British rev.
enue still larger.
