LORD LOREBURN'S APPEAL TO THIS.

NATION.

(TO THE EDITOR. OF THE 7 TIMES.'')

Su-1 hope that it is not untimely to trouble you with a letter upon. the Irish question, during the calm of a recess which has rarely been better care. My excuse mes be that we are rapidly approaching .9, erita Lima And I hold that every one, whatever his opinions tasy bo, ought to help toward a friandly settlement. If all sincero off ons inil then we dan undertake, with becoming resolution the steps necessary toward carrying out whatever policy may bo determined.

. It is of no use lecturing en auther or siplining the enormity of zeach other's conduct for policy. For the problem of freind is admittedly one of great difficulty and has come down from bygone gonera- tívny and none of us, perhaps, have been at all times very wise in handling it, Tho better course is to look at Facts as they are, A Gwernment Bill is awaiting its passage into hw, and Parliament is divided into two greal çamps, one to which I belong support- jing, the other opposing it. What is likely

to hippen if it passes and what is likely to g happen if it is in some way defeated?-

ill first suppose that the Bill-heromes las ext summer, as indeed seems probable. It is inconceivable that Ministers should abanion it unless somc alternative is gonetnily, accepted. No good purpose, how- uver, gau be served by ignoring the certainty that the passage of this Bill will be followed by serious rioting in the North of Ireland.

is an extravagance to speak of civil war, or to fancy that the troops if called upon: will refuse to maintain order. But we I know from exporience in the past that muol wide disturbance may be expected, more wideprend and more violent than on any form occasion during our times, For theart is n general belief that the Conserva- tive Party in England is prepared to condete if not to approve of it.

This novel feature enunot fail to indame the conflict. Then it has been found in the recept. prostutions that, though many people were

24 sounded, juries" refused to “conviet.

prospect of impunity ustarally encourages the lementers of disorder. Also an imapres- sion scoms to have been created that Miniters will not under any circumstances use military for spinst rioters. I am consinced that no such thing can have been deliurately either said or conveyed. Tho primary duty of any civilized Governmont is to protect life and property, and it would lead morely to waste of life if any doubt were allowed to remain upon this point. But the impression has been created and tend toward making things worse.

I support what has been independently recommended by others, that there should be Conference or direct communication between the leaders, Even if there was little chance of arriving at a settlement by jonsent, evou if it were clearly to the interest of any party, as a party, that there should be no settlement, still I should submit that the attempt ought to be made, rather than that we should drift into a fasting antagonism for want of an honest effort. But there are grounds for hoping that the attempt would not be fruitless, and it can be donionstrated that the interest of no arts. great or small, would be prejudiced

Let us so now what was the position of Lord Lansdowne in the same debate, which is the highost importance, because it is the last debate that has taken place on this subject. Lord Lansdowne thought that the Bill could not be allowed to Committee because that course would ha sesopting the principle of the Bill and also would be sequiescing in the treatnient which had been metod out to the House of Lords. Itk a great pity, for I think, the House might have considered the Bill in Committee, after express reservation made, without either accepting its principle or amquiescing in the way the House had itself been treated, and something useful might have been the outcome of a detailed discussion. But, limited though the disenssion was, Lord Lansdowne used language which-doservės close attention. He spoke of the Bill as one which would not bring us one step neer to that larger and once complete | measure of devolution which so many of the host friends of Ireland desire,” He then referred to Lord Grey's support of the principle of federation. And, speaking of Alinistors, he said: Whenever their scheme of federation is produced 1, for one, am ready to treat it with the utmost respect aud desire to find in it a solition of the difficulties with which we have for so long contended." A measure larger and more. complete, devolution, federation. What do these things mean? The names that say be used do not siguity. The thought behind them is the importans matter. It contain the germ of a spitlement. · Replying for his party on the following day, Lord Curzon said of this Frisht question, "I agree that it must be solved."
