ADVICE TO SINN FELN. But what concessions should the Sinu Feiners nake! First of all, they must do something, the most difficult-they must cease to build a foundation of hate; they must try to be statesmen; they must recognise that the strength of a country cannot be sustained on the spiritual whisky of party pansion. They must see that the hostility of everything English, and expecia'y anggestions of boycotting trade. with England, will prove disastrous to themselves. If a prophet of God order.. ed the irish people to take £300,000,000 worth of goods and sink them in the Irish Sea, they would question deeply, whether that propbet really came from heaven; but they listen to prophets of less exalted origin, and the policy these prophets ad vocate will lead to like ruin.
