ENGLAND instead Of intervening In
Mexico, has troubles at home which
will keep her busy. The wild Orange
men In the north Of Ireland oppose
the home rule scheme, and will fight
against It. They have been gathering
arms. and preparing for business for
some time and recently things have
been drawing to a head. Large sec
tions Of the English army we're sent
into Ulster, but they did not seem
very enthusiastic. The soldiers had
TO obey orders, and could not get out
Of 1t, but 1t was different with the Of
fcers. They had 10 obey orders, but
they could get out Of It. They could
resign from the army, and they COM
menced doing o Men who held high
positions, and had been with the
army for . lifetime resigned, and
gave as their reasons for resigning
that they sympathlsed with the
Irish. The situation is q mighty
delicate one, aud nothing Of the kind
has eve appeared In the history OF
England.
