A PIRATE JUNK,

Viscount Grey, in a letter to the Westminster Gazell, declares that government in Ireland has never been such a repmach and discredit to KING CHRISTIAN'S BIRTHDAY, British statesmanship as it is to-day. He points out that apparently no one

One is a defrite announcement that there can only be one foreign policy for Britain and ' Irelșii,- and, one army, and one navy, and that we cannot stand separation inadese matters. Two is that the Irishmen must be as free as the peoples olive great self- governing Dominious to settle for themselves how their country to be governed. Three is to give time for them to come to an reement with each other and draw up a scheme. The British Government continue to perform as best it can the function of government in Ireland for a period, not exceeding two years, but at the end of that period, or socher if Ireland is ready, it will withdraw and the responsibility for Irish getrament wû! be on the Irishmen themselves. In no other way can we bring some Irish- men to that sense of responsibility which we for centuries has deprived or relieved them of, and the lack of which is the deepest under ding cause of the Irish troubles, Irish disunion, and of the failure of every ftempt up" to the present made to find a solution for the Irish problëm.” -

OTHER SOLUTIONS.

Mr. Arthur O'Brien, one of the leaders of the Irish SetDetermination League, interviewed on Earl Grey's proposal, declared that plan was no improvement except in the degree upon the methods of ti: Government. to which Earl Grey criticises. The only means of securing perin Ireland is by England negotiating peace with the Simm Fan Go firment. The Conservative M.P., and banker; Sir Samuel Hoare, in afarticle in the Nineteenth Century and After says that if northern kad, southern Ireland could only agree British Members of Filament soña fall over each other to satisfy their demands. He suggests the Premier himself take charge of the Home Rule Bill and that the Gement should immediately introduce wide and simple amendments, espets a instead of the proposal of the London Parliament's control výr $43,000,000 of estimated Irish Revenue, while the Irish Parliament will restricted to £3,500,000 in death duties, stamps and certain licence dati. Sir Sambal Hoare maintains that the Irish should control their on sources of indirect taxation simultaneously, avoiding fiscal quarrels further sng- gests that the Pope be invited to send a special messenger Ireland,
