Bearing in mind the views to which Mr. CHERCHILL has recently given expression on the subject of devolution, the conclusion might be drawn that the plea for separate treatment for Ulster would receive sympa. thetic consideration in the Cabinet. It has to be borne in mind that the Ulstermen are
largely an alion race. When JAMES I. resolved to remodel the province of Ulstor ho soused. the ancient possessors to be removed and introduced a Colony of English and Scottish settlers in their stond. The city of London was peculiarly active in promoting this plan. Those settlers became the founders of most of the principal families now residing in that province, and their claim to remain a community in which they were born is one which appeals with peculiar force. In this historical fact we have the key to the whole situation and the Irish problem may be regarded as one which, like the poor, will be always with us. Ireland is n laudable aim for any Govern- ment to set before itself, but we do not believe that happy consummation is to be attained by setting up a separate Parliament
