THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE

LONDON, November 25th;

JANUARY STB, 1991.
The situation gives peculiar interest to the House of Lords" treatment of the Home Bule Bill before the Chamber this week. It is expected that they will pass it. If they do, and it becomes law, and the Irish refase to work it theirs will be the respon ability, for they will place themselves definitely in the wrong in the
eye of the whole world. It proposes to confer upon THE IRISE TRAGEDY.
the Irish the fullest measure of self- The “* Irish Question" (what a multitude
government that is possible, short of in- of things the phrase covers!) took a turndependence of Britain and the British for the worse this week Fourteen British officers were murdered in Dublin under cir cumstances of exceptional barbarity, even for Ireland. Some of them, as you know, were roused from their sleep, dragged from their beds, and riddled with bullets under the eyes of their wives. There have been mony accounts of Sinn Fein murders in the papers in recent months, but for once the story of the crime in Dublin given to the House of Commons as an official docu. ment surpassed in emphasis and vividness narratives giving free play to the graphic powers of the trained writer
Of course, the story of what has occurred in the Irish capital is no more horrible than many other crimes which are everyday occurrence in Ireland. It is the attendant circumstances in the present case that have aroused public opinion in Eng land. Even the Parliamentary Labour Party at a meeting this week, while ostentatiously and quite unnecessarily con- demning the British Government in human policy of reprisals, expressed abhorrence of the Dublin crimes, and pointed out that they jeopardised the success of al efforts to bring about an early and honourable settlement of the Irish question.

Moreover, the Roman Church, now always paramount in Ireland, has not de- nounced the murder campaign. On the contrary, we have Cardinal Mannix, the notorious prelate from Australia, whờ is allowed to stump this country telling audiences in the North of England that. there is no murder conspiracy in Ireland. As this rate the dictionaries will have to be revised and a new meaning found for the killing of policemen and soldiers on duty to preserve law and order and the authority of the Crown.

The Earl of Derby has added to his long and distinguished public career of publis servite by the way he has filled the office of Hritish Ambasador to France. The genialite and ability with which he has carried out the onerous and important duties of that great diplomatic position.. which he has just vacated, has placed his countrymen under a debt of gratitude to him. Lord Derby is of the best type of British noblemen, carrying on the high traditions of public service of his fore fathers For centuries Britain has had the advantage of being voluntarily and ! ahly served by men of this type, and what they have accomplished for the commen
