sergeant and constable of police, who
tried to get hall where an Irish con-
cert was held, were refused admission;
that Rafter struck the sergeant, knock
ing him outside, and then closed the
door; and that afterwards the police
heard Downes sing seditious songs.
The defense was a denial of the as

IRELAND'S AID TO DEMOCRACY

ireland had not ceased to put in
question her relations under the union
with Great Britain, and to rend Eng
lish parties by her reiterated demand
of home rule. A fourth attempt in the
course of twelve years was made to
solve the problem by a scheme of de-
volution embodied in an Irish councils
bill; and when this was oventhrown
as inadequate, it was followed by a
new bill to restore an Irish parliament
and executive responsible to it, which
now stands before parliament. Such
a project of home rule has opened dis
cussion, not only of a new government
for Ireland, but of federal constitu-
ton for all the members of the United
Kingdom. The great Earl of Chat
ham, in the eighteenth century, hadHr
peatedly refused to entertain the idea
of a union which must deluge the Brit
ish legislature by an addition of Irish
peers and commoners.

A Good Will Token?

Mr.. William Partridge, TIC, Dublin,
who was sentenced to 10 years penal
servitude in connection with the Ris-
ing, has been released from Lewes
Prison, owing to ill-health. He has
been ailing since his incarceration, and
during the past month his condition
became very serious. His wife and
brother have left Dublin to meet him,
and it is understood he will enter an
English nursing home, a cross Channel
journey in his present state being i'm
possible. Evidently Mr.. Partridge has
been released so that his death would
not take place in prison. But the enc
my made sure that death had set in
before they ceased to torture their
victim.

Tramcars Not Paying.

The accounts of the Belfast Tram
way undertaking of the Corporation,
show that notwithstanding the fact
that the revenue is the largest on rec
ord, it is not sufficient to meet the
fixed charges in addition to the in
creased working expense. The def
cheney on the years working is rough
~ $4,000. The City Accountant esti-
mates that if the present rates are
continued the deficiency next year will
be $4,000, which, added to the deficit
of $4,000, would be e2S,0O0 for the
two years working. If the Corpora
ton adopts the new scale of fares pro-
posed by the manager, it is anticipated
that the income may meet the expendi-
ture.
