The overthrow Of the Lecal-0ptien law IN
Michigan is locked upon by some OF the enc
mics Of the hquss-T restriction law recently
passed in Nsw-Jerssy AZ q COED oman IL ls
hard to see a.y connection between the two.
The Michigan law was declared uneenStitu-
tisna on a technieality that does not apply at
all to the Nsw-Jersey law, which will be at
eaclxed in the courts as vigorously as possible
on quite ether grounds. Meantime its County,
Option provisions are likely soon 10 be put into
practice. In three counties the necessary steps
have already been taken to submit the ques-
ton of license or ne license to popular vote.

The great gathering in Phoenix Park yes
terday to protest against the PaDal rescript
and indorse the recent action Of the Nationalist
members of Parliament is significant in more
aspects than enc. In connection with the reso-
lutisns adopted On Thursday. it ought 10 have
much influence in convincing the Vatican that
its interference in political and apfrian af-
fairs in Ireland was O grave mistake There
were ne priests present at the meeting they,
of course, viii obey the order from Roma But
the Irish people will undoubtedly sAew, as MIR.
Dillsn said, that they are able to discern be-
tween the spiritual and the political domain OF
the Papal authority. The assertion that Rene
WCulo not care 10 interfere In tElS way WIN
the affairs Of any ether country in Europe is
clearly within Bounds. The Hiah are loyal
and much-sufferinx people, but they will not
bear all things. The agitation in which they
have been engaged will net be abandoned at
the beck Of an authority which they DO net
recognize as involving the matters directly
concerned.
