//THE twin jokers" is the term

tors throughout the country, and this has
led more than one observer 20 inquire if

income Of about 52,6OO.OoO,OoO Of which

THE IRISH CONVENTION.

According to announcement made in the House of Commons by David Lloyd George, the first session of the Irish convention will be convened on the twenty-fifth day of this month. In less than three weeks then we shall see to what purpose the agitation of years, even centuries, has been. If, instead of the predicted prolonged convention, the work is gone about in business-like fashion there is hope that the dream of the ages will be made a reality,-H Rule for Ire land. If, on the other hand, the con- petty dickerings and futile debate, to personal controversy and factional quarrels, to individual ambitions and sectional interests, the hope of all be dispelled.
 There are many conflicting inter ests in Ireland which win not too readily yield to adjustment. There are many likes and dlsllkes Which may never be brought to a happy meeting ground. There are many sentiments, the growth of ages, which may not be uprooted in day, week, month, or a year. And these are the stumbling blocks to a final amelioration of Irish conditions. In regular conventions some one side must yield, minor pre- judices must be swept aside, and the great object in view must be sought honestly and without intrigue. It will be an unfortunate occurrence if any one clan or clique in the coming Irish convention holds up the long looked for boon of the people.
