Dublin Lodge Would Bar Progress Of
Home Rule.
At a recent meeting under the pat
ronage of the City of Dublin Grand
Orange Lodge, held in the Round
Room Rotunda. Dublin, Rev. ].
E. Moffatt, M. D., who presided, said
they received in their ranks all men
except Roman Catholics (cheers.)
They could not take Roman Catholics
in, not that they objected to them as
Roman Catholics, but because they
were not free men themselves, but
we're under the thumb of the priest
hood and would be compelled to tell
everything and betray their cause. The
recent intrigues in the Castle were an
attempt to introduce Rome Rule with
Home Rule.
Rev. J. c. Irwin proposed: "That
we, the Orangemen of the City of
Dublin, speaking on behalf of our
brethren, and voicing the opinion of
the Loyalists south of the Boyne,
while seeking no ascendancy, are de-
termined that Mr.. Balfour's unjust
cohonoc IF cooo1Iod ooro;liof fiov ond
amelioration shall and must come to
an end, and we hereby declare our
fixed resolution to resist to the utmost
of our power the unconstitutional plot
tings know as MacDonnellism in the
Government of Ireland, whether the
enemies of Professionalism put it for
ward under the specious guise of de-
volution, coordination, or higher 'edu-
cation, or under the more mundane,
but much more honest garb of Home
Rule, Financial Council or Roman
Catholic University, ultimately to be
administered by the Italian Propa-
ganda."
The speaker, in the course of a very
long speech, said Mr.. Wyndham had
been convicted and had skulked of to
the Continent, not being able to an
swer the charges that had been
brought against him cloud cheers.)
Who had been apprehended for firing
shots into house in Athenry, and
where were the culprits who had as.
sailed the house of Mr.. Persse near
Loughrea? If anything should happen
to Mr.. Persse or his family, upon the
Irish Executive would rest the moral
responsibility cloud cheers.) He re-
ferred to Sir Anthony Mac Donnell as
the Indian Nabob
Captain James Craig, in seconding
the resolution, said they would not be
satisfied until Dublin Castle had been
cleared out from top to bottom of all
who had taken part in this unholy and
dishonest conspiracy (cheers.) If the
Government could not get post for
Sir Anthony MacDonnell where he
| could do no harm, the sooner he re-
tired from the Government service the
better for the country The first alter
native to the conciliation policy to
which Mr.. Long should set himself
was the redistribution of seats. A
measure could be introduced whereby
the representatives of the Irish party
could be greatly cut down and the
representatives of the Ulster Union
l list party greatly strengthened. The
second step was that he should
carry out the pledge of his prede-
cessor by introducing a bill dealing
with laborers' cottages and holdings.
| Non-sectarianism, too, should charac-
terize all questions dealing with edu-
cation, whether primary or secondary.
On the motion of the chairman the
following resolution was passed:
THAT we desire to place on record
our sincere appreciation of and deep
gratitude for the efforts of the Irish
| Unionist members, who in the House
of Commons defended the rights 1Rd
| liberties of the Loyalists of Ireland,
| and thereby exposed and defeated the
insidious designs which were formed
to foist on us Home Rule, and we ten.
! der them our unfeigned thanks; and
we urge them to continue the cam.
| paign uRtil the Ministers whose un.
constitutional acts have brought dis.
! credit on the Unionist cause be re.
| placed by men who will administer
the laws without fear or favor"
Colonel Doping proposed: THAT
we protest against the wholesale re-
duction of the Royal Irish Constabu
larry in the south and west of Ireland
as being unconstitutional and requir
ing an act Of Parliament repeating the
act under which the Force was estab
lished, and further, as being an incen
! tive to the village tyrants to set ur
illegal courts Of the United Irish
League, in the room of the tribunals
established by law; and we warn the
Government that further experiments
or neglect in this matter is fraught
with danger to society. and must in
evitably compel the Loyalists Of Ire
land to: combine Tor mutual aid AMI
