Didn't Care.

A young lawyer who was rather
given to browbeating had a favorite
mode of mystifying a witness BY
saying, "Well, sir, 1 shall ask you
only one question and I do not care
which way you answer it"
A man who was on the same cir
cult accosted his friend one morning
thus: 'Wen, James, I have but one
question to ask you and I do not
care what way you answer it. How
do you do today?"

a position in his cabinet, contending
that, as the new ministry is essentially
national in character, aiming to repre-
sent all parties, and to enlist the sup

count of the war, it would be anoma
lous If Catholics had no representative
in it, especially in view of their splen
did example of patriotism at the from
and of loyalty to the government in
the chamber of deputies. Taking
these special circumstances into con
sideration, Signor Media has accepted
a portfolio in the Boselli cabinet. His
joining the ministry is an historically
interesting event, inasmuch as it is the
first time that a practical and acknowl
edged Catholic has accepted a post il

a number of riots are taking place be-

British forces. A great many arrests
have been made and a large number
of both Sim Feiners and members of
the populace have been wounded and
removed to hospitals during the past
forty-eight hours. A number of the
County Cavan revolutionists have been
arrested and deported to English de-

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
HOME RULE,

According to the latest dispatches,
the Home Rule question in Ireland is
developing.
England is sincerely anxious for a
temporary settlement that would re-
habilitate her to some extent in the
eyes of the world, and England's paid
servants, the Irish Parliamentary
Party, are no less anxious for some
thing that will sway the country suf-
ficiently to maintain them in their
jobs.
The lines on which the settlement
is projected show to what extent the
Irish Party have lowered the flag and
dishonored the poor little cause hand
ed down to them.
1t is no longer with them even
Home Rule for Ireland; it is Home
Rule for part of Ireland.
Since the Redmond leadership there
has been an Ulster question such as
there has never been before. In spite
of the fact that the Province of Ulster
sends more Nationalist. or alleged Ma
tionalist, representatives to the British
Parliament than it does Unionists. the
Home Rule Bill proposals cut off VI
ster from the rest of Ireland.
The partition of Ireland would be a
damnable thing, if Home Rule were
likely to be enforced, or if, being
enforced, it could be anything other
than a cloak for the worst evils OF
English rule.
What England intends is to erect
some sort of Home Rule which will
impress the world with her justice and
remove to some extent the bad i'm
preston created by her recent murder
of Irish war prisoners.
She realizes that Carsons threat OF
armed resistance has made real
Ulster question, but that the recent
revolution in Ireland has solicited
Irish sentiment into such opposition
to England that any settlement on
Home Rule lines is impossible.
Germany might as well propose tc
give France or Belgium Home Rule
while the present war is going on.
England recognizes that a state OF
war exists between Ireland and Eng
land.
She has more Irish prisoners OF wa,
than she has German, and Ireland
recognizes that it would be futile TIC
make any new treaties with the liar
and treaty-brcaker of the nations.
