Their union consisted simply in the fact that they both jumped on the same victim. The fury of the English in Ireland arises from the abvious fact that they will not command a majority in the Parliament at Dublin, where the Ceftlc element must needs predominate, and England only belleves in government by the majority when she is herself the majority.

But while it may be a simple enough thing for a red- nosed man to avold the flamboyant glories of Maclean neckties, and for ladies of uncertain aga to stick by the sombre but safe dark blues and greens of the Grahams and the Mackays, the un- initiated Sassenach is apt to be imposed on by tartans which, properly speaking, are not tartans at all, but only the delirious experiments of scrapulous Sentch manufacturers,. There is one nightmare which masquerades under the title of the Robert Burns' tartan, and another which is called the Abbotsford tartan and suggests that the wearer has collided with a insequently washing with tomato soup.

All those "fancy" tartans of new design vłainta .in many different ways the ancient rule upon which Highland weavers and dyers from time immemorial have manufactured real clan tartans, and a Highlander with any pretension to a knowledge of "set" and dye holds them in supreme conterapt.

When the Eng- Hah minority In Ireland announces its fixed re- solution to practise wholesale slaughter rather than be nuvoled by a Parliamentary majority, then it in quile ressible that an English minority in England would go
on the short in the same way and under the same conditions. The Imperial Federation ides riginated in England, and it is being pressed on by Erglishmen for the sole purpose of ex- tending England's power and glory, and yet, should Federation ever be accomplished, it is by no means improb ble that. It might prove s selerably short read to the after disintegration of the empire. The men who openly propoiss to go gunning for an Irish parilamentary majorly would probably be as ready to go gunning for any other parliamentary majorly when the blcased supremacy of England was endangered.. Meanwhile, The Bulletin trests that it will hear
more of the weary, cant, of "loyalty" from any member of the Orange brivade. This paper is frankly and openly Republican, and advocates separation from the empire, and the Overthrow of the Imperial authority in Australia, But still it in content to accomplish its ends by the votes of the citizens, and between it and the electoral minority which proposes to foment civil war in the United Kingdom there is a great golf fixed, and the disloyalty of the "loyal" secret society is abborrent to its soul.
