We had hoped, though we feared it might not be so, that wa had heard the lost of Unionist extravagances of language in regard to the Irish question. But it is evident from Mr. Donar Law's message, referred to in a telegram which we published on Monday, that we have not. It is a sorry state of affairs into which British politics has fallen when we find the leader of one of the two great parties in the State practically aiding and abetting rebellion to the law of the land. We say this, the merits of the question quite aside; and we cannot for the life of us understand why the Unionist party as a whole does not realise how illogical its position has become.
