THEY TALK OF FORCE
THE RECENT IRISH CONVENTION AND
ITS POLICY CONSIDERED.

Its Reputation of the Parliamentary Pol
icy and what 1t signifies How viii the
Conventions Action Affect Irish Parlia-
mentary Leaders?-C Chief of the Alliance.
1t is, of course beyond the power of man
to predict with accuracy rs tothc result Of
the new force movement for the freedom of
Ireland that was inauguratcd recently at
convention in Chicago. but there is no
doubt whatever about the earnest purpose
of the delegates to the convention, nor cf
their hatred Of England, They mean to
win home rule for Ireland if they can,
and, more than that, they mean TO do
England rs much harm as possible i'm the
winning 1t need not be considered dis
respectful to the men of the new move.
ment to say that they have undertaken a
difficult job. Ireland was conquered by
William l III of England in 16g2. just 2O3
years ago, and during all those years the
sons of the Emerald Isle have been striv-
ing to secure independence, but without
ever even having approached success.
To many Americans who do not keep in
close touch with the Irish temper the de-
cision of the Chicago conNcrIun to- for
swear the parliamentary policy outlined by
OndrItS 0ttWdfl l'aflltll ara dtcClitU by
his countrymcn in 1856 has brought dis
tinct shock Of surprise. 1t has been hoped
by many such that the days of "physcal
force in the contest between England and
Ireland were past, never to return. 1t has
been believed that some scheme would be
devised by which England would agree to
grant most or at least many, of Ireland S
demands, and that all talk of those de-
mands being pressed by any but constitu-
tional methods was at an end In effect
the members of the Chicago convention
admit that it were we'll if this could be so,
but declare it impossible in the circum-
stances. They say that England has shown
conclusive evidence that she will grant
nothing at all unless forced to do so, or at
least made to understand that there is
plenty of force that may be brought to
bear at any moment
1t was nine years ago that the parlia-
mentary struggle was begun. Gladstone,
the foremost English statesman of his
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1895-10-11

TIME ana Liberal leader, was heart and soul
with the Irish. This gave them thc sup
port of one of the Two great political par
ties of Great Britain. In 1892 under Glad
stones leadership the Irish cause had the
support of IL clear majority of 40 in the
house of commons, and IL bill WAS then
passed for the creation of IL national Irish
legislature. Some there were undoubtedly
who believed that meant sOmcthing-that
such legislature would soon actually ex-
ist Others shook their heads and declared
that the measure would be promptly
squelched by the house of lords, which
body, being composed chiefly of hereditary
members with sprinkling of bishops who
do not sympathizc with the Irish in reli
gious matters, cares not IA rap for the senti
ments of the people as expressed by their
elected representatives in the house Of
commons. The views of those who pre-
dictcd thus We're fully borne out by the
events.
When the home rule bill came up before
the lords, there was such Il gathering of
hereditary Legislators as had not before
taken place i'm years, for your hereditary
| legislator seems to care little in the main
! for the privilege of passing or of killing
| laws 1t was extremely significant of the
.
that the appearance made by the full house
of lords was such as actually to cause the
London newspapers to apologize for its
members, while the London correspond
ents of the American newspapers stated
! frankly that such another collection of in
cOmpctents and imbeCiles could not easily
be found outside of the jails and the lun-
attic asylums Well, they vetoed the home
rule bill by vote of ? to /, and there was
presently great cry that the house Of
lords should and must be abolished forth
with. Even Rosebery, who succeeded
Gladstone as Liberal premier, but who
was himself "a lord, said the upper house
must either be "endcd or mended, " and at
one time it actually seemed as if some
modification or abridgment of its powers
would take place. Nothing of the sort fol-
lowed however, and when the general cleo
tion came along the Liberals were wiped
out. his placed the Irish cause practical
ly where it was before the beginning of the
parliamentary campaign in 1885. The
leaders say the present situation is worse
nan that of 1886, inasmuch rs nine years
have been lost.
1t is impossible to speak with accuracy
at this time concerning the attitude that
will be assumed toward the new American
party of force by the leaders of the par
liamentary party in England Neither can
u safe prediction be haZarded regarding
the effect the new movement will have
upon the voting strength of the Irish par
Iiamentary party. 1t is certain that there
are many Irishmen now living in Ireland
who sympathize heartily with the force
movement, but whether Justin Mccarthy,
Mr.. Healy, Mr. Redmond and other of the
strong leaders will approve is not yet
known. The proposal to raise and drill a
large army of young Irish-Amerioans for
the purpose OF waging actual war on a

In these days of conservatories and mu-
sic schools when each house has its piano
Or its organ, to say nothing of devotees to
the cornet, violin and banjo, it seems
strange to assert that there ever was u
time when musicians were in demand, yot
such was really the case.
"In the fifteenth century" says Mr.,
Henry Nj. Brooks in his Golden Time Mu-
Sic }" musicians were so scarce in England
that they were impressed by government
order as in more recent times seamen had
to suffer in like manner. Henry VIII also
issued warrants for the impressment of
children with good voices for the choirs of
the cathedrals, and in Elizabeth's time
children with tine proper qualification for
her majesty choirs were taken from their
parents without any compensation being
given to the latter"
