How m#.. taa sin r..n e,1 F:oa is fgug in The nrsseit and how muou ta the past Hc de not know. The reports that d'aorrala are again occurring in irelano. however show that whatever It the origin. the movement is taking strong hold of the county and is displaeing the pafliaIaentrry movement altogether.
 Yet it would be mis.a to judge that physical force is to be resorted to because this parltamer- tary agitation is falling into dis repute.
 The claims made that throus& the parliamentary party Ir.laHd has gained many concessions rom Eng IanJ during tGe past fifty }ears iJ apparently sabstantated 5y th' record
 We may accept the word ef Pro. lessor Bonn Of Munich University, hardly d partisan that the irish tenants have had conditions assnred them more favorable than any other tenantry of the world enjoy The valuable work of the ConGestea District Board of the AgriCultural Laborer's act, ot the local govern mcnt and county councils, of the department of Agriculture and technical instruction, of UniytTs'E Education and the like are retorr:s that have come with the eNt9aslcn of the franchise and within fit> wears. They are all claimed br tho parliamentary party as their Wolf .ad their work alone.
 50 many reforms have in Iced been carried out, important referms and very valuable that sone cf the leading men have claimed that Great Britain was trying to kill rhe national movement with kirdres7.
 However to credit the Irish prrty with accomplishing the reforms that have undoubtedly been PC complished would be to deny 9 much more important local anita, tion that was maintained in Ire land
 Thus the agrarian agitation was kept up with and without the sal- port of the party. The attacks on landlords and direct physica! yic} cnco were all d.rc.iuI by tn Irish party and A.. .m"s r@rpel Commission, whose finding, afford ed Kipllng an opportunity for atls ing the Irish in well known arl extraordinarily powerful verse en titled "Clearcd", accepted the dis llaimer as correct.
 Furthermore the plan of cpr. paign. the powerful < boycottr, the moonlight outrages and other acr> considered lawless, and in reality criminal attempts to fight the dt1i with fire, have been carried on as the outraged expression of ret4 t in desperation.
 If the truth were known it is more than likely that these agita tions had much more to do witf these reforms above mentioned than the making of clo1uen' speeches in parliament or the ora lions of members in Irish Natiora Conventions. These have alway! greatly amused and satisfied tht British parliament. but the! brough little results.
 results.
 The independence aims oi Ire land of today have been material! strengthened by the Sein Fin' movement. 1t may we'll be quea tioncd if there ever was q move ment less identified with sordid mo tives than this one. It certainli is not based upon any desire to ir prove the British scheme of lan' laws. It may well he believed th& these could not be bettered. I certainly is not based upon any in clination to extend trade and t' cover the lovely valleys of the ia1( with factories belching soot 'a1' producing a national anemia.
 It is not for the requirement o wealth and property and Npossess'oI or any such material aims as ami mate, inspire and direct those movements in other lands lool ing
