ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

Of England in rcsnect to rights enjoyed Under the gov
OF Great Britain This subject was fe'enty u's
oussed editorally in Mr. Fnerys paper the Cuzen o.
cago The following condensation Of the citizen eo.ora'
not only answers the inquiry shows the necessity Tor
written constitution to protect the rights OF citizens 'or SUD
jccs either, for that matter). The Citizen says ~.
"The following Of the differences between
sh laws as administered in Great Britain and the laws that
govern Ireland
On Great Britain the people have the right OF PUBIC
meeting In Ireland public meetings are subject 10 the eoou
will of magistrates who almost invariably opposed 10 '
political sentiment Of the people.
m Great Britain volunteers for the defense of the coun
try are encouraged In Ireland they are forbidden In
Great Britain young can form military corps ana ui'"
when and where they please In Ireland to do so wou con
sttu the crime OF treason felony In Great Britain every
man has the right bear In Ireland only those
licensed for that purpose weapon OF any deserp
ton To obtain license is exceedingly difficult for man
with Irish national sentiments Vendors of firearms are
obliged keep register OF sales for the inspection OF the
notice, giving name and address of purchasers.
"H Great Britain the judiciary is beyond the pollution OF
politics the Judges once appointed any grade OF the
judiciary can not be promoted higher they are thus
independent the and not tempted by hope OF
further judicial rewards be subservient any political
party. In Ireland political service opens the way to the
bench and as Judge be promoted from the lowest TO
the highest grade in the judiciary has been proved by ex
peronce that TO stand well with the government IS much
higher recommendation for promotion than knowledge OF the
law Hence in any question issue between the people and
the government bitter experience has proved the than
bias the judges in favor Of the government In Great
Britain packing of ures is unknown In ireland in all
that hinge however remotely social and polt
cal conditions the packing of ures pracced with an al
most open contempt for public opinion.
"n Great Britain the public peace is maintained by peace
officers in large cities and by constables in country villages
regular police force Just have It in America, only
carrying of revovers by policemen restricted In
Ireland the socalled police force is standing army of
5000 men, armed equipped and drilled just the as
regular soldiers and for which the Irish people have to pay
$7oooooo annuma this in face Of the fact that Ire
land is absolutely the crmeess country in Europe the
only country where the judges of assizc frequently
presented by the shers with white gloves token
OF bael criminal calendar.
"n Great Britain with the exception of certain districts
of Scotland the relations between landlord and tenant do
not resemble those that prevail in Ireland Ireland has
peasantrythat is class of small farmers England has
Her military history Just proving the truth of
Goldsmith's
III fares the land to Fastening ills prey
Where wealth accunulates and men decay
breath Can make them as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry their country's pride
When once destroyed never be supplied"
English greed destroyed the English peasantry English
farms large, the farmer looks upon it agrcu
ura plant for the prosecution OF his business The
not to him what the few of ground the Irish
man. or did to the expatrated Scottish Highlander
If does not suit him he readily seeks another The land
lord provides house and Offices fences gates and drains the
agreed the basis of agricultural prospects and prices
In Ireland general rule the landlord never expends
penny upon the farms The build houses and
drains and until the of the compensation for DISTURB
snce bill when the tenants evicted value OF the i'm
provemeus confscaed the landlord At the present
time the rents not based the productive capacity OF
the land the prices OF produce but where thew are
not arbitrarily imposed by the landlord they are judic
imposed by land for certain number of years
of crops prices When it is understood tat
the Irish farmers cottage and acres attached have been
the home of his fathers for generations the land perhaps
the conscaed property of his communal land of
ms clan he is far from occupying the position OF the Eng
lish farmer as free contracting party The Engshman is
rarely hampered by local and traditional tics
IN the legislature English and Scotch measures are dis
eussed upon their merits Irish treated with
absolute contempt Irish representatives stand 1o3 against
$50 British and the odds rendered hostile bv bitter
national hate When Isaac Butt was leader of the ;sb
parry ne brought in 100 bills OF the first importance to Irish
national and industrial affairs In every case he was hacked
Dy majority OF the Irish members. Every single bill was
thrown out II Just the today and the irish renre
sentative is forced TO conceive feeling Of contern, f
