Following up the admission of the Eng :
lish chancellor Of the exchequer,, that it IS
intended to: pay the Irish School grant for
the financial year, 1896, on: the equiva-
lent principle, in a letter to the press, Arch
bishop Walsh, Of Dublin, points out that the
claims for previous years that remain I'M
paid stand precisely on the same footing:
Once again his Grace details the manner in
which the cause Of Irish education was
robbed of $4,000, and having shown that
Ireland's grant depended upon the amount
given to England, and that the treasury al
ways hampered parliament from d:scharg-
ing the liabilities due to Ireland, DR.. Walsh
says that the only question remaining is
whether the British .exchequer is going to
pay or repudiate this claim-that is, is Eng
land, for once, going to be honset toward
Ireland. The probabilities are not good for
an affirmative answer.
