DECADENCE IN ERIN.
CFrom the Baltimore Starr


Sombre must be the feelings of the eX-
patriated lrishmen who have read of the
tame and quiet manner In which the
Orangemen were permitted to go out to
Drumbeg and celebrate the anniversary
of the Battle Of the Boyne without a
single Uranium being cracked by the way,
although Irishmen in good health stood
by and jeered as the FISHERMEN passed.
u!stermen who have left the native sod
must feel equally sombre when they read
that, despite the vociferous defiances of
Sir Edward Carson and the much-touted
drilling and Sun-running of the army of
the Covenant, the hosts of Ulster on the
way to exult over their great victory went
by circuitouS route to avoid meeting
the Nationalist cohOrts-in other words
went to elaborate extremes In an effort
to avoid a fight.

that all the shillalchs have rotted In their
corners and that the Irish, North and
South now fight only with heated con-
versation? Lord Northcliffe asserts that
while Mr.. O'Connor and his friend" -

Home Rulers-"have been writing and
talking, the Scotch-Irish have been or

markable self-control in marching around
