ANTRIM.

AN J. ILA N1.
Mr. Wilfrid Blunt continues his i'll
vestigation in Ireland, and publishes
the result in the Pail Nal! Gazette. We
have only to stale that the jnyestiga-
tor appears to be impal tial to indicate
what the results are likely to be. M
deed. Lord Ernest Hamilton COM
plains that every Englishman who
comes to Ireland returns a Home Ruler.
MIR. Blunt could find no boycottlng, or
almost none, in the North Of Ireland.
The subject, he says, is not seriously
regarded by either party. We gather
fron his admirable paper, which we
commend to The careful perusal Of Eng
lish readers Nrish DON'T need it), that
What is called boycotting in the North
of Ireland is the preference which
tradesman naturally gives to the men
of his own way of thinking in matters
political. The Protestants who are op-
posed to Home Rule, Mr. Blunt con
:siders, are opposed to it. not because it
would establish Catholic, but because
it would endanger Protestant ascend
.ancy.

ing between the two lines of metals a
short distance below Lurgan. 1t was
subsequently, found that the deceased

was employed as signal conductor at

tanned is that he was on his way home

seems to have been dragged along the
line for a considerable distance, the
Door fellow having sustained frightful
injuries, his brains being scattered
along the line and his shoulders broken.
