 Redmondts Speech.
 Mir. John Redmonfs speech at the headquarters of the United Irish League to Dublin last week marked further stage in the movement to extend the
  national organization"
 The Parliamentary leader made strong appeal to all sections of Na- tionalists to sink their differences and unite, so that they might be able to act effectively at and the coming general election, which he regards as imminent. He fully admitted the se- riousness of the situation. For twelve months, he said, divided counsels and open defiance of majority rule and party discipline had undoubtedly work ed demoralization and created apathy In many of the best and most public spirited parts of the country.
 In future majority rule and party discipline are to be sternly upheld, and In order that the demoralization and apathy may be speedily overcome. sew eral Nationalist members of Parlia- ment are to remain in Ireland for some considerable time, In order to take part in the work of revival.
 MT. Redmond dealt warily with the numerous criticisms passed by "candid friends" upon the management of the organization.
 The other day the Archbishop of Cashel declared that the Irish party had neither funds to maintain nor au- thority to control league active and powerful enough to bring about land settlement and ifome rule. and appeal ed for suf1cient funds and the very best material In the way of Parlia- mentary recruits. As a Nationalist journal points out. the country is will ing enough to bestow ample authority on the party, but the hiling of the war chest is another story.
 MT. Redmond said nothing about the urgent problem of finance. but he strongly insisted on the need for more discrimination in the selection of Par liamentary representatives. It appears that the present system of leaving the choice of candidates to local conven- tions has resulted in sending of men to Westminster who are not in all cases considered we'll fitted for "per- suading, convincing or intkmidating" the House of Commons.
 Tn short Mir. Redmond indicated pretty plainly that some of his sup porters are less useful than they ought to be, and urged that in future the leaders should be given a voice in the selection of candidates. There seems to be ground for Mir. Healy's taunt that some members of the party would not be elected district councillors.
 Dillon and Land Bill.
 A few days earlier Mir. Dillon inau- gurated the revival in the country by addressing a big demonstration at Thurles, Tipperary. The member for Mayo had an enthusiastic welcome from his admirers, and was the recip- ient of about a dozen addresses from public bodies and local Nationalist or- ganizations.
 He devoted himself mainly to the land bill. Towards the landlords he adopted a much less conciliatory tone than MT. Redmond, who cherishes the hope that the bill will ultimately pass as an agreed measure. In the conge- nial atmosphere of Tipperary, a coun- ty which has always been foremost in the agrarian agitation. MT. Dillon an- nounced that they were eNnaugurating a new movement, which would sweep the last remnant of .landlordism from their path. The landlords. he said, must meet the Nationalists at every point, or take the consequences In other words. unless they accept the bill sub stantially In its present form, the land war will be given new lease of life.
 There is no remedy against unrea- sonable landlords" declared MT. Dil- lon. but Agitation and disorder" and
