I have said that one of the dangers threatening the success of home rule is dis- union in tho ranks of Irish leadership. 1f there be ono word in the language that should now be burned in characters of fire upon the Irish heart, that word is ““Union.” Disunion stands the grim accuser of every failure in the past. Tho serpent gliding his shmy way into Paradise was not more infamously wily than has been the cunning of Englishstatesmanship in cvery age divid- ing the councils of Irish leadership. Tam not of those who would unfairly ex- aggerate; who wonld heap Ossa on Pelion in this matter. 1 leaye it for Inglish tories and Orangemen to boast that Irishmen can- not be trusted to govern themselves, 1 do not beliove it. Ireland is not without a_parallel, either, for the disunion in the ranks of her leader: ship today. Our own American history has a revolutionary story of disunion plots and cabals that darkencd around Washington in the sternest hour of our own great struggle for home rule. Other instauces the just as striking. But there is no one but oursclves today. This, therefore. is not a time for palliation or excuse. Disunion now wmong Irish leadors is & blot u patriotism of either side. A crime the people of Ireland.
