This was virtually a confes- sion of deliberate neglect of duty, for it showed that, instead of doing his duty, he waited until he had seen whether others who were not respon- sible would do his business for him. The worst of it from his point of view is that, according to his own further ission, he would have had no diffi- in obtaining from the treasury any money for the relief of distress for which he had chosen to ask. A very interesting reunion of Irish- men took place in London this week, of which no account, by the way, has appeared in the papers. I refer to a dinper in the Grand Hotel of Trinity College (Dublin) men in England. Mr. Lecky, M, P, for the University of Dublin, presided, and among others |- qus‘fin‘ were John Redmond, M. P., the leader of the Irish Independent Nationalist party; Lord Wolseley, the Irish commander in chief of the British army (see Beck); Lord Rathmore, who, as David Plunkett, was M. P. for Dub- lin University for many years, and is one of the most charming orators in these countries; Mr. Carson, M. P., the Irish lawyer who abandoned the Irish bar (at which he was in leading prac- tice) a few years ago to become one of the leaders of the English bar; and a considerable number of Irish Protes- tant clergymen, who, though attached to the Protestant church in England, are Irishmen to the core, albeit differ- ing, at least most of them, from the majority of their countrymen in poli- ties. It was, in other words, a gather- ing of distinguished men belonging to varfous religions and various parties, but united by a common bond of Irish feeling. The speeches were all' very eloquent, but, perhaps, the’most nota- ble was that of Mr. Redmond. He re- sponded to the toast of “The Guests of the Evening,” and, without trenching either on politics or religion, made some significant allusions which evoked a response, rather notable for such an assembly. It being well known that he was both a Catholic and a Nationalist, he took occasion to say that Irish Catholics could have no hostility to the great Irish Protestant University, see- ing that it had opened its doors to Catholics nearlv three-quarters of a century before any English university had taken that ctep, and that it had produced such Nationalists as Grattan, Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone. It might be thought that the mention of such names would have looked a mani- festation of hostile feeling or at least would have been recelved in chilling silence by a gathering, most of whom belonged to the Irish University; but the fact is that it was met with a burst of hearty cheering, which largely came from the clerical element to which I 5 have referred. It would be easy, in- deed, to exaggerate the significance of such an incident, but it is not going too far to say that, ltke many other things, it indicates the gradual birth of a new state of things in Ireland. Classes and parties are drawing together there slowly but surely, which have long been separated; and, in my opinion, it is impossible to exaggerate the extent to ‘which that change may go within the next few years or the consequences by which it may be attended. The career of Mr. Carson, to whom I have just referred, is worth a word or two. A few years ago he was but what is called a rising junior at the Irish bar, and seemed likely to follow the usual path trodden by the average Irish barrister who is to any extent successful. He was taken up by Mr. Arthur Balfour when the latter became Chief Secretary, and figured largely as prosecutor for the Government in the Coercion Courts. He a Queen’s ward Solicitor-General for Ireland, and member of Parliament for the Uni- versity of Dublin. clusion of every one was that he would after a short interval mount to the bench. His membership of the House of Commons and his temporary resi- | changed | completely the spirit of his dream. | dence in England, however, ‘When his party returned to power in 1895 he refused, to the astonishment of all his brother members of the Irish bar, to resume his position of land of- ficer, which he had been obliged to re- linquish on the defeat of his party in 1892, and determined instead to prac- tice at the English bar in London. His courage has. been rewarded with ex- ceptional success. In three or four years he has advanced so rapidly that his Income is now about: £12,000 or £13,- 000 a year, or uabout ten times as much The natural con- | guineas to cross over to that city a: counsel in a set of actions expected to last only a week. Though an able man, he is not, however, a particularly bril- liant one. He has left behind him in Dublin, in fact. able men who lack the courage to follow in his footsteps. The moral of the story Is that the English bar must consist of a somewhat dull lIot of persons and ‘that an average Irishman among them must appear to the average Englishman somewhat of a man of genfus SOLDIERS’ AID SOCIETY FORMED AT REDDING REDDING, May 28.—The women of this city have organized a Soldlers’ Aid Soclety and have a number of propo- sitions under consideration by .which to raise funds to devote to Red Cross as he was making in Dublin.
