LIoyd-George on Ascendancy.-H
David Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the
British Exchequer, is reported to have
said: I'm Ulster where Orange as
cendancy is complete, how many Cath
olics do you think get any position of
emolument or trust? Not one. Scav-
engers? Yes, certainly. Road sweep
ers? Let all the Catholics come. But
just get Catholic to apply for posi-
ton as town clerk, clerk to council,
surveyor or inspector. They are ruled
out as if stricken with the plague"
Drills of Irish Manifestations
teers from Limerick, Glare, and Tip
perary, numbering about 1000 assem-
bled at Killaloe on recent Sunday
to celebrate the Battle of Clontarf,
and there was vast throng Of SYM
pathisers from each of the counties
named. The streets were decorated
with arches of evergreens and Irish
flags and notices. The troops
marched to Kincora, Brian Boru's his
troic fort, where review of the COM
bined battalions was held. In the
evening public meeting was held,
Canon Flannery, V. G., Killaloe, pre-
siding. Upwards of 1000 Galway Vol
unteers were reviewed on that Sunday
by Col. Maurice Moore, former COM
mander Of the Connaught Rangers,
who expressed his delight at their SOL
dierly appearance and bearing. Col.
Moore recently wrote: 81 believe it is
nowhere so important to have dis
ciplined, strong body of Volunteers as
in the Ulster counties. 1t may be the
determining factor in Ireland"
Historic Priory of DubIin.-Part of
the Priory in the occupation of the
Carmelite Fathers in Whitefriars
Street, Dublin, has been condemned
by the Dublin Corporation as being
in dangerous condition and threat
ening public safety, and is therefore
ordered to be pulled down. For the first
time in 800 years the Fathers have
therefore made an appeal for funds to
erect new priory. From the time
of the establishment Of this Priory in
the year 1878, up to the time of Henry
VIII. the Carmelites carried on the
work without obstruction; but in his
reign there was demand made
on the Prior to clear out, which he
was forced to do by law. For long
time, so far as Dublin was concerned,
the members of this order were home
less wanderers. In 1927 they were
able to come back to the same site
on which their ancient priory stood.
In the old time of 1878 a Chief JUS
tice was able to build a monastery by
himself. In the eighteenth century
Grattan's Irish Parliament on some oc-
casions held it's sittings within the
walls of the old building.
Father Vaughan for Home Rule
Rev. Bernard Vaughan, who formerly
was supposed to have Unionist lean
ings, made an interesting statement
with regard to Home Rule at a meet
ing which he addressed in the East
End of London this month. Having
travelled the world" he said in a re-
ply to question, "for the past two
years, 1, as an Englishman, loyal and
true to King and country, am satisfied
that those who are cooperating for
the rejection of Home Rule are busy
ing themselves in weakening the foun-
dations of the Empire, not merely
near home, but also in far-reaching do
minions."
