IRISH TROUBLES.

The Imperial Protestant Federation bas sent the following to every member of the House of Commons, and requests the Hongkong Daily: Press to give it publicity,

HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monday, February 17th, 1908.

MR. HEDMOND'S HOME RUIN MOTION

CRITICISED

The attention of every Member of Parlia ment, who does not wish to help for the total separation of Ireland from the British con pection, and forming her into an independent nation, is directed to the subjoined startling statements of Nationalist Members of Parlin. ment. But before reading their disloyal dech stigny, it may be well to, first of all, study the following decided opinion of the present Prime bi iniites, wxpressed when addressing the electors of Culross, in November 1885. It will be cherved that the Right Hon. gentleman then declared that to great holand a separate Parliament and Government would not be Corsistent with duly to the Crown." Is it Bouristent to day

BH, CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN, K,P. “We all desired to extend to Ireland the fall benefit of any system of local government which we énjoy curselver, and give them the control of their own faim to the same extent as we have cf ous. But when wo come to the question of giving them a seperate Parliament and e perate Government, then be confised he saw great difficulties, and he did not think that was likely to be cemented to by any Government, aither big or Toy, becanid it would not be corsistint with the maintenares of the Integrity of the Empire, and the duty to the Crown. "--"

Socismas," November 13tb, 1885.

Entire separation from British control, in. any shape or form, is the only kind of Home Rule which will fully satisfy the aspirations of the Irish Nationalists. It is nothing less than folly to suppose ( at the grant of a Home Rule Parliament will stop or lessen Trish sgitation and disloyalty. Every vole, therefore, given in sapport of Mr. Redmond's metion in favour of Home Rule is really given-whatever my be the intention of the giver loxaids the total aeparation of Ireland and the dismemberment of the Empire. The motto of the Nationalists is contained in the wall known declaration of Mr. Parnell that no men hem any right to at tovnds to the aspiratices of a nation. "None of us", nid Mr. Perrell, "whether wo be in America or in Itelon, or wherever we may be, will be satisfied antil we have destroyed the last link which keeps Ireland. bound to 16 England."(Life of Charles Stewart Partell," Vol 1, p. 203.)

The views of Mr. Parnell are abored by the pretent Trader of the Nationalist Par iamentary, Party Mr. J. E Redmond, M. F. The latter gentleman's dearest wish is to utterly destroy British Rulo in Ireland, even, if necessary, at the cost of armed rebellion. Speaking at Drumkeerin, on October 27, 1907, he referred to what he termed —

The National spirit which, in the breasts of free men, must ever rebel against govern. ment by a foreigu kantry, and which naver can permit as in Ireland to acquiesce in British rule, even if that rn'e yere successful or mcisnt, or et material advantage to us." ("Sligo Champion" (N), November 2nd, 1907). It thus clear that no amount of concession, no amount of material assistance, granted to the people of Ireland, nor even a great inoresse of sommercial prosperity, will ever make Mr, Redmond and bis followers loyal to the British Copazetion. On June 23rd, 1907, Mr. Redmond Anteiled at Now Rosa a monument to the Irish Rabel of 1798, when he declared:

Wa to-day, from this County of Wexford wend therefore this message to England. We tell her that wo, Wexfordmen, to-day hate her rule just as bitterly sa mur forefathers did when they whed their blocd on the spot. We tell her that we are as much rebels to her rule to-day as our forefathers were in 98"-(Freeman's Journal (N), 24th 1907).

If I believed there was the

smallest chanos. whatever, I would have no hesitation in advising my countr, sen to endeavour to end the present system by aimed revolt."-Speech in the House of Commons, April 12th, 1905.

Language like this is not calculifed to promote good feeling between England and Ireland. It does, however, prove one thing, and that is how unente it is to grant an increase of political power or "the legislative and executive control of all purely Irish affairs "to mea who will only use it to injure and annoy in every way the country which grants it.

"How did it all come about Well it in a curions story, and, strangely enough, it is closely bunad up with the establishment of some recent legislative reforms, which have been fought for so hard in and out of Parliament.

In the frst place the growth of Chinese and An'atic labour on board British ships bas been increasing rapidly and steadily during the last twenty-five years. First of all, the great companies owning the huge linere commenced by employing. Lasoara Thon, during the part fifteen years, the cargo boats have followed suit. At one time the employment of Lascars and Chinese was almost wholly confined to verweis trading direct from India to China, and vice versa, and vessels doing a costing trade round. those two countrion. But of recent years tramp steamers have followed the example of the liner, and now the Lascar and the Chinaman is em ployed, not oily on the coss's of India and Ohite, but in many resele trading to all parts of the world from England.

The extraordinary inflax of Chinamen, into the circles of British shipping is due to the extension of the Workmen's Compensation act to seamen. The old proverb ban been reversed, and "Ont of good has come aril"--but that evil has got to go, or the British electorats will want to know the reason why.

"Let me illustrate. If John Brown, an able bodied seaman, is killed in the exsoution of bis duty on a British vessal, his relatives--become entitled to a workman's compensation and naturally claim it. Ab Bin, a Celestial, meets death under similar oiconmstances, sud, lol. the shipping company keeps its money in its pook et because Ah Sin's relatives in the Far East sither know nothing of the death of the resfarer, or are too far off to alaim their dos.

As The Remedy of Rings Phosterine is universally familier, but it is now equally The Remedy of Champions, for Le Marin's striking aumis- sion of the reni kable energising properties of Phosfer ine is supported by similar tributes from nearly every well langh Athletic Cham pion. The unstinted praise of rien so renown ed for their glalious strength and endurance as Apollo, the beteal Athlete, Gunner Moir, Champion Heavy-weight Boxer of England, Tom Burrows, The World's Champion Club Swinger, &c., is positive assurance that Phosferine will be immensely beneficial to everyone who seeks its aid.

CONSTANT LE MARIN, Champion of the World, writes:-"I consider Phosferine a great factor in the formation and increase of Stamina and the maintenance of that standard of Physique which is so necessary to uphold great muscular activity.
