am no prophet, but l will venture
TO say that neither of the present edi-
tors of the Dispatch will see home rule
in Ireland" as our papers speak of 1t.
There may be more OF a local govern

whether Catholics or Protestants. They
know the danger it would be to the pros
perity OF the Green Isle. Never in the
history of ireland has there been such
general prosperity all over the country,

political agitation 10 be in few years
quite as rich and happy as England and
Scotland.

nent last month, In her message she
used the following words in reference to
the birth Of another heir TO the Throne
OF Great Britain: AN event not only pro-
pitious. but unprecedented in the history
Of England" This is made clear by the
pictures in the shop windows OF queen
Victoria, her son. Prince Of Wales, the
Duke Of York, son OF the Prince, and the
infant son OF the Duke and Duchess OF
York. In this picture are four genera
tions. all in the royal line. The great
grandmother has the baby Prince on
her lap. and from the manner in which
she holds the young boy she has not
forgotten the skill and tenderness Of
mother.
