Home Rule Baked
Speaking at a meeting at Newtownbutler
the earl Of Erme imperial grand master
of the Orange order" referred to the ac-
tion of the house of lords on the budget
and asked whether it was possible that
more democratic line than TINS coulu DC
taken and for taking it the house Of LORDS
individually and collectively had been
blackguarded up and down the country ny
pack of blatant demagogues OF - Inc tile
IIoyd-George type That question of the
veto of the house of lords most Fitaly al
fected them in Ireland. Had 1t not peeh
for this veto home rule would now De en-
ioying the blessing of being governed by the
cattle-Iifters and the whole posse comlta-
tbs" of the league. Now let them not I'M
agine that he thought the eolhpQSltIoEn -, ~
the house of lords was perfect Ear from
it. He had always been in favor of a radl-
cal reform of the house which would DC
the most conservative measure that any
government could introduce. In the hrst
nlace it was too unwiedy Four hundred
500 of which it is now composed.
Then there were many members of 1t 100
old to attend to its business others IKE
himself were growing too old. Lastly II

many as its enemies made out, VINO pre-
ferred the atmosphere of EPSON ana New. New.
market to that of Westminster lhese
would probably be left out under d goou
system of selection. and he would substl-
tute for them peers who had been eapinet

! had served their apprenticeshps for two or
| more parliaments in the house or com
| mons Then he would institute a system Oh

| chiefs of the army, the navy and the law
also to the heads of all the great noncon-
formtst bodies and of all the learned pro
fessions, such as the Royal society the
ROYAL academy, the College of surgeons
the College of Physicians, the Institute of
Engineers, etc In this way he thought
they would get second chamber inferior
to none in the civilized world
Leaves Dublin to Bosses
In a recent speech at Cork William
! O'Brien, who has just been elected to par
lament, said that he had hlotted himself
| out of Irish life in order to spare the coun-
| try turmoil and to leave the Dublin bosses
| free stage for their genius and states
manship They not content, now
| ever to Danish him without entering on
| campaign to knife every man who had ever
| given him a friendly hand, and he had de-
| termined, therefore, at any hazard, to heip
| the people of Cork to put this despotism
| down. In doing so they would be deliver
| ing Ireland from T a band of tyrants and
coercionists as ignoble as ever nestled IN
Dublin castle.
| give home rule to Ireland in the next par
| lament was "bosh." Mr.. Redmond and his
| friends had actually the faulty to pass a
resolution rejoicing that the Times wei
/ coined the orators of the Irish party as its
| host the destruction OF nome
rule. 1t would require some bitter expert
| ence of the ruinOus budget and OF the
Brrell act for killing land purchase before
| ireland would recognize the need TO re
| construct the Irish party. Their present
tyranny and machinery must be brought 10
a state of annihilation. That collapse was
nearer than many supposed. and when the
whole truth flashed upon the Irish people
they would be horrified to find how they
| had been deceived and fooled.
| The appearance of AR O'Bren's new
| newspaper, the Cork Accent, imparts a new
and interesting feature TO Irish politics.
Under the title Of the new journal the fol-
| lowing motto is printed in large black
| tvpe: 1.-THE order of the bosses was that no
person with Corl, accent should be al
| lowed near the platform of the Molly Ma
! guire conyention. The Cork Accent will
now help in saving Ireland from the de
| grading thraldom of an incompetent Clique
| who have ruined the Irish cause, betrayed
the Irish farmers. and have converted the
Irish party into despised tail of BRITISH
| Liberalism"
Redmond and DeVin Criticised
The first issue of the Accent is as vlsor-
Gus in it's criticisms of Mr.. Redmond ana
| Mr. Devlin as might have been expected. A
| special attack is made on the Ancient
| Order of Hibernans, of which Mr. DeYiin
| is the head This organization, which is
also described as the molly Maguires,' Is
! thus defined by the Accent: "A secret sec
tartan society which would batten on the
resources of the country which would keep
| Irishmen divided into hostile camps, and
/ which would make the accomplishment OF
home rule impossible for all time, Under
| testant not even Wolfe Tone, or Robert
| Emmett Lord e. Fitzgerald. r. Davis,
John Mitchell or Charles Stewart Parnell,
could be associated with or admitted into
the national movement. No Protestant
| could be a member of public board no
| Protestant could obtain a position in the
| gift of a public body no Protestant could
get Catholic custom, and, therefore, their
| shops would become bowling wildernesses,
| and. therefore, that section of the com
| munity would be either starved out of eX-
| istence or out of the country. This is what
| is it's ayowed aim and object 1t is not too
much to say that this baneful society,
which would be always burrowing in the
| dark, would result not merely in a constant
| crop of horrible scandals, but that it
| would infallibly cause the ruin of the
| country" Mr.. O'Brien had a bitter lesson
| of the power of the organization, at the
| last convention, when his proposals suffered
overwhelming defeat at its hands,
The king, pursuant to the provisions Of
| section l5 of the Irish land act 1903. has
| appointed the earl of Shaftesbury the
OF Raphoe, the Most Rev, John Mangan, d.
