PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION.

In his mastery address in Chicago
last week, Michael Davitt referred to
the argument usually made by physi-
cal force men anent Irish representa-
tion in the British parliament. These
say that it is utterly impossible for 80
Nationalist members to obtain justice
for ireland in an alien assembly where
their opponents are so overwhelmingly
in the majority, and therefore they
should not go there at all. Replying
to this kind Of argument, Mr.. Davitt
said:
ut is useless and mischievous to
talk of asking Irish Nationalists not
to send men to the British House Of
Commons. for men will be so sent
there from Ireland whether we like it
or not. For. what would happen IL
Nationalists acted upon such advice?

The speech was prepared by Lord

that the cause of the war was the
invasion Of British territory by the

lie in the speech of last Saturday.

The Minneapolis Journal thinks that
Michael Davitt's attempt to check Irish
emigration to America is rather Quix-
otto. Perhaps it is. The only thing
for Davitt and his colleagues to do in
order to prevent the Celtic depopula-
ton of Ireland is to wage vigorous
war against landlordism and get the
people to own the land. That step
gained. let manufactures he started to
give employment to the urban popula-
ton, and let the Irish people patronize
their own industries. The Irish in
America ought to discourage the emil
grafton of their kindred and do every
thing possible to keep them at home.
Unless something is done the island
will eventually become Anglicized, and
then goodby to national independence.
