Lnman ingenuity has been able to form
Mate population of 100000 people,
o,nal to the whole population Ire
land is given over TO terror because Of
tho fnrv of a lawless mob, which the
authorities are unable to withstand.
For several days the people, particular
" the wealthier class and tradesmen,
have been in momentary apprehension
of renewed outbreaks, and the utmost
efforts of those in position to secure
tranquility by the use of large civil and
military forces have been Intellectual in
restoring confidence. There is growing
distrust and many fear the changing
conditions portend for London a re en-
actment OF the bloody, lawless and dis
sstrous outbreaks which have charac-
terized the risings of the commune in
Paris. There is little doubt that few
DAYS will see the excitement abated and
confidence partially if not altogether
restored, but the effects are not likely
to be so readily forgotten. When staid
old England can indulge in such ont
breaks it suggests thee are fatal evils
steadily undermining the public securi
ty and that the events of Monday and
succeeding DAYS are b~t the Fremont
tory rumblings of the great eruption.
1t does look as though England will
have al she can do to control herself
without pottering longer with affairs i'll
Ireland. Ireland, so far as the law is
concerned, is certainly in no worse con-
litiOn than London, or England; aid
both English and Irish journals are
contendlng that, after the exhibition of
impotency by the police and military
powers on Monday last, 1t would be the
height of impertinence to advance, as
an argument against Home Rule, that
Ireland could not be held in peace by
Irishmen. Home Rule is like those
other fundamental principles Of right
which humanity has always opposed
people have to be educated into seeing
that they are just, and that is long
and tedious undertaking.. There can
be no question that every day shows q
disposition on the part of tteEnglish al d
Scotch 10 WELD larger measure OF free
dom to Ireland than ever before. 1t
may take some time for this sentiment
to spread so as to secure to Ireland that
which four-fifths of her people desire,
but that it will come seems an dilute
certainty. The Home Rule question
has ceased to be the topic of the hour,
yielding to the outbreak in London;
but the excitement on the latter event
past, it will resume its place and there
is likelihood that the riot will only
erve to help along the movement Tor
legislative freedom for Ireland. One OF
the strong arguments against making
concessions to Ireland has been The cry
that its effects would destroy Irish in
dustries. This is emphatically contra
dicted. 1t is shown that England has
always tried an l succeeded In Keeping
the green islands industries at MINI
mum and that legislation with this per-

ed the British Parliament is an undenl-
able fact. tits also charged by lead
ing English economist that Ireland Is
lar from fairly dealt with, comparing
her with England. The answer made
to those who urge the destruction Of
Irish industries as an argument against
the granting of Legislative independ-
ence IS found III the history of what is
known as the Grattan Parliament.
Through English legislative in:erfer-
ence Ireland was in deplorable con
dition commercially and industrially,
and the same arguments were advanced
then az now against the concession OF a
Parliament to Ireland with absolute
control over all internal affairs. But it
was granted, and the results were as
founding. Where disorder had pre-
vailed peace was restored; where there
had been idleness, there was indus ~,
and in ten years the exports of IrelauI
had trebled. It was admitted by all
That there had not been in the history
OF previous commerce an instance of
such remarkable commercial growth.
That was the effect Of the Grattan Par
lament which in its day was such a
nightmare to the opponents Of inde
pendent legislative power. 1t would
seem that an experiment which pro-
queed such magnificent results then
should be worthy trial in this age Of
