Irish Uniionists'
Message Of Def
POLITICIANS OF ALL PARTIES
NERVE RACKED.
HOME RULE A MENACE
1t viii Bring to ireland Not Peace,
But the Sword-Heavy Political
Guns in Action Last Night.

London, Nov. 29.-The politicians of
all parties are straining every nerve
to crowd into a few weeks the work
which in ordinary elections is spread
over weeks or months. Nearly all the
heavy guns were in action tonight.
Issues Narrowing Down.
The issues are narrowing down dali
". The conservatives make much of
the menace of home rule. They pro-
claim that the plan of the liberals for
the reform of the house of lords means
to the front their new policy of ref.
erendum.
Lansdowne's Scheme a Snare.
There is great fervor among the lib
erals, a feature being the sudden re-
forming zeal on the part of the lords,
who claim that Lansdowne's referen-
dunn scheme is a snare because the
parties would be unequally yoked to-
gether under it, that conservative
measures would always sail smoothly
through the house of lords, while the
referendum would be invoked only for
liberal bills which were distasteful to
the peers. Moreover they estimate the
cost of each appeal to the people at
$40, 900 900.
Defiant Message to Home Rulers.
The Irish unionists sent q message
Of defiance to home rules, to Mr.. Bal
four's meeting and deputations from
the Nonconfornists Unionist associa-
ton of England and six hundred min
listers of non-Episcopal churches in
Ireland have addressed Mr.. Balfour in
opposition to home rule.
Not Peace but the Sword.
At the Albert hall meeting the read
ing of the message from the Irish
unionistS caused much enthusiasm. I'm
all solemnity," said the message, Hwe
now declare that home rule will bring
Ireland not peace but the sword. If
an Irish parliament Is set up the un-
ionigts OF the south allied with the
men of Ulster will not acknowledge it's
authority. They will neither obey it's
DEGREES nor pay its taxes
Baifour Favors the Referendum.
Mr.. Ba1four pronounced strongly in
favor of the referendum as the best
method of settling deadlocks between
the two houses without requiring the
reform of the house of lords and said
it could be carried into effect before
the house of lords was reformed. This
he declared to be Lansdowne's plan.
The cost of q referendum, he said,
would be nearer $1,00o.000 than the
estimate Of the liberals s10,o00,000.
He concluded bI- declaring that the
cabinet was governed by its noisiest
IileHtOSl6. WltO H0iC SOfSIIISd ny OOnil
Redmond, who was governed by Pat
rick Ford. Don't trust the puppets
who are performing their parts on
the stage" ad7nonished Mr.. Balfour.
Don't trust the Irish wire pullers.
Don't trust the American paymaster
who calls for tune. Trust alone the
sound judgment and enlightened pa
triotism of the people of this eoun-

of parliament for the Brixton division
of Lambeth in 1905 and who was at
one time g resident of Boston, has be

against Davidson Dali
ziel, unionist, once a resident Of New
York.
Detection fron Liberal Party.
Lord Joicey, who was created a peer
by the liberals, has announced his de-
lection from that party because of its
failure to provide for the defense of
the country and for it's alliance with
the socialists. 1t is stated that sew
eraI other liberal peers are tending in
the same direction.
