self Carson. In view of MT. O Hanlons news it is evident that he can be no relation of that Edward Carson, who as leader of the orange party, used to declare that they would die in the last ditch before they would submit to seperation from Great Britain or to the domination over them of their (then) hated enemies to the south of them. Now, or course, he is weeping, q suppose), on the bosom of the SinnI Fein.
 I remember that after the British Parliament had proposed and passed an arrangement declared acceptable by the elected representatives of the majority of the Irish people, those fel- lows in Ulster proved so doggoned stubborn that it became evident that they they could be made to submit only if shot down by the British army. Most of the Irish regiments naturally could have been relied on in that mat ter; they had always fought what ever they had been put up against and had but recently covered them selves with immortal glory-in helping most heroically to suppress the South African Republics. But the other regi ments indicated plainly that they were not at all enthusiastic about shooting down men for insisting on remaining British. So the ministry with char acteristic British pusillanimity, backed down, though the minister of war was given the sack. It may be that some minister had seen as 1 have, g. row or two in that famous road in Belfast, l have forgotten the name now, but you know the one I mean), that one where the shipyard men insist q mean used to insist) on their God given rights as freemen, to march in procession shouting, ITO Hell With the Pope" Common-sense seemed to me rather short in Ireland; but the fighting spirit of it's people was certainly mag nificent
 The change spoken of by MT. O'Han- lon is evidently very recent. q pre- sume that there is no possibility of any mistake in his information? met here in Phoenix not long ago a Sim Feiner who had not heard the new doctrine of love and compassion My agreement that the three parts o1 Ireland which demand fire ,dom should have it, did not plea him at all and he argued with me that people living in the northern part of an island must submit whether they will or no to the rule of those in the greater southern part. 1 confess that doctrine stuck pretty hard in my gizzard when
 thought of my own ancestors from the northern part of that islanl to the cas-
 of Ireland, but for the sake of peace
 I swallowed it as well as I could
 ventured to hint that his idea of takins
 Rome from the rule of Italy and tht
 people of Rome and restoring it tC
 the temporal domain of the Papacy
 was not quite in accord with self de.
 termination, and he lost his temper
 and damned me roundly.
 I would gladly join the Friends O
 Irish Freedom. but I am thinking O
 using my leisure time just now il

 a movement for the establishment il
