The Toronto World is booming Ireland and the Irish people for all it is worth these days. On Saturday an article on its front page was head- ed by the words, “There‘s nothing to gbod f.‘-l‘ the Irish," in large dis- play letters, and on Tuesday that paper contained an editorial favoring Home Rule for the Emerald Isle. The editorial contained the following sentences :â€"â€"" As anadians View federation there is no reason why Ireland should not have the manage- snent of her own local affairs. Home Rule up to a certain point would not be olzjectionable. On the contrary it might. remove the came of tbs ill: feeling fhn‘, has exigred be‘wcen tic When Sir Charles Tupper a few days ago moved his amendment to the Redistribution Bill he could not have thought it would be accepted by the House of Commons or the Country. It was a very transparent device, for it proposed to place the readjustment of the constituencies in the hands of the judges after the cen- sus next year, whereas the purpose of the Government is to meet an im- mediate need, aud place the constitu- encies on a fair basis before the next general election. The principle of placing the defining of Parliamentary constituencies in the hands of the judges was strongly advocated by the Liberal party both in 1832 and 1892, but the then Conservative G0v~ ernment would have none of it. Every person who has taken the trouble to inform himself in the mat- ter knows that the constituencies as they exist at present were created from a partisan standpoint, and are most unjust to the Liberal party. The bill proposed by the present Government is fair to both parties, therefore the time to pass it is. not after the next General Election, but, now. Nothing can stifle the wish of the House and the Country but the Dominion Senate. “ Today there are men in South Africa representing the two branches of the Canadian family, fighting side by side for the honor of Canada. Already some of them haVe fallen, giving to the country the last full measure of devotion. Their remains have been laid in the same grave, there to remain to the end of time in that last fraternal embrace. Can we not hope, I ask my hon. friend him- Self, that in that grave shall be buried the last vestiges of our former antag- onism. If such shall be the result, if We can indulge that hope, if we can believe that in that grave shall be buried contentions, the sending of the contingent would be the greater service ever rendered to Canada since Confederation. be prepared to give and to take, and to make due allowances for the pas- sions and prejudices of our fellow- countrymen. Many eloquent speech- es along this line stand to his credit, and that delivered in the House of Commons on Tuesday of last week in reply to Mr. Bourassa with regard to aending the contingents to South Africa is no exception to the rule. The concluding words of his brilliant speech were as follows :«a Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, never loses an opportunity when speaking in public to remind his hearers of the necessity of peace and good-will among the different: sects which make up the population of our Dominion. Whether in Pro- testant; Ontario or Catholic Quebec he has always cautioned his audiences to RICHMOND HILL, Max-ch 22, 1900 Changeâ€"H. C. Bailey. Change-Wilkins dc Co. Changeâ€"W. A. Sanderson.

Army,” that pro- vision is made for such aid, pointing out the “Duties in Aid of the Civil Power." these regulations have the force of law in the United Kingdom. Yours. &c., X.

Ishould like to know why another body of men, who were conspicuous by their absence, at committee meetings. and never put in an appearance at all when the prepar- ations were being made, should now presume to say where and how the money should be placed 2’ “ lionor to whom honor is due." ‘ Richmond Hill, March 21, 1900.

DEAR SIB,~â€"FI‘()HJ reports around the town iL would seem that the Vil- lage Council has assumed responsibil- ities which, as a body, in my opinion, they have nothing to do with. It is Well known that. :L cmnmiftee The last Vestige of prejudice against the wearing of the Shamrock must have been obliterated last week when Queen Victoria ordered the sol- diers to wear that national emblem in honor of the Irish nation, on ac- count of the bravery of the Irish troops who took a foremost part in the defence of Ladysmith during the long siege. It is needless to say the suggestion of Her Majesty was acted upon, for news comes from all parts of‘the British Empire that on Satur- day last, St. Patrick's Day, the sham- rock was worn by all classes of peo- ple, and the green flag floated over parliamentary buildings and munici- i pal buildings as well as from many private residences throughout the land. There are Irish agitators who seem to take a delight in twisting the lion’s tail, but as a nation Ireland is always ready to show her loyalty to the British Empire when the latter is threatened by her foreign foes.
