themselves had no chance, On being
charged with this, Mr.. O'Brien recently
said:
"It is, I rejoice to say. perfectly true
that everywhere throughout the south
my friends and myself have enjoyed the
cordial good will land doubtless their
support at the polls for whatever it was
Worth) of our Protestant fellow-cOu5l-
trymen. The statesmen of the Molly
Mcguire lodges will, doubtless, be hor
rified to hear that we regard the fact as
one of the happiest achievements in all
Ireland's history of distracted creedS
and classes. The Protestant minority
voted with US for the very substantial
reason that they and we have NOW an
indissOluble common interest in COM
pleting the abolition of landlordism,
and saving Ireland from further over
taxation. If it would not be fair to
construe their support as an open ad-
hesion to home rule as well, it is abso-
lutely certain that the struggle we have
made, in the teeth of impossible odds,
for generous treatment for them, ma
terial and moral, has completely dis
armed the suspicious of the Protestants
of the south as to their future in self
governed Ireland, and that as soon as
the Protestants of Ulster have been
similarly reassured, home rule will be
q mere question of friendly settlement
between Protestant and Catholic Irish
men after the model of the historic land
conference of 1903"
The budget is the cause Of the split
in the Nationalist party The O'Brien-
ties believe Ireland is unfairly treated
in the budget and will fight it tooth and
nail On the question Of the lords veto
understand they will act with the Lib
erals.
During the campaign the charge was
made that General Sir Reginald Pole
Carew had, during his election cam
pafgn, referred to the people of the
south OF Ireland as "a lazy, idle, dirty,
ignorant, seditious lot of people," Gent
eral Pole Carew Indignantly denies he
made any such statement It was first
contained in an anonymous letter pub
nshed in a Plymouth newspaper, and
would have been treated with silent
contempt by General Pole Carew if it
had not been reproduced in the Irish
newspapers, and made the subject of
resolutions by the Tipperary county
council ana other public podieS. The
generals indignation is shared most in
tensely by his beautiful wife, Lady
Beatrice Pole Carew, who states that
she is proud to regard herself as one of
the southern Irish,'' and who. with
other members of the Ormonde family,
is most popular amongst rich and poor
in Kilkenny.
AT the recent meeting of the Nation
alist party, John Dillon moved and Jo-
seph Dillon seconded a resolution which
was unanimously adopted, which de-
clared THAT this first meeting after the
general election the Irish Nationalist
party desires to place on record its
deep sense of obligation to che friends
and supporters of the National cause in
America for their splendid contribution
to the funds of the party, which has en-
abled it to meet and repel the attacks
made upon it during the recent cleo
tions. And we especially record our
admiration for and appreciation of the
brilliant gifts and invaluable services
of Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia,
president of the United Irish League of
America; and we tender our warmest
thanks to the other national officers of
the American organization"
Acting on a suggestion contained in
a letter written by the Rev. Dean Kelly,
D. D., of st. Peters Athlone, the West
meath county council has decided to
preserve the old home of Olivr Gold
smith at Lissoy from further decay.
