Away from us dwellers in this Babylon of corseted dandles, sugar babies, racketeers and backmail- ors, these dark sayings and obser- pre-vations will not be apprehended, but to the students, poots, and dreamers here, they are always obvious.

The pictura in that sense sents nothing unusual, though there is a difference to be detect ed. In the past there have always been sufficient issues of domestic importance to make the Ulster election interesting. On this oc- casion, thanks to the Free State leader's latest adventures in reck- less definnes of realities, relations between Ulster and the Crown emerged as a factor of importance and all the opposition to tho Unionists which might have arisen on other matters faded right out.
