January 31. j .Sir Edward Carson, speaking at Torquay, denounced the action of Radical newspapers and others in condemning reprisals in Ireland, while ignoring the crimes that provoked them. When he | read of an old college friend bayonetted ' and buried alive, and then of an Eng- ! lish statesman drawing attention to re- : prisals, he considered that the lowest ■■ possible degradation of political life had ! been reached.

The day will come -when Ireland will crawl to i Britain to restore her to a united Par- I liament." lAtrr in hi? speech Sir Edward Carson • said: "If the South and West of Ireland say to T'lstcr. We must run our own! island and live together: we will no longer preach ha-trrd of England, but ■■o-oporate with you and the rest of the ; Empire.' then I undertake that we will accept their handshake for the sake of England, IreJand. and the Kmpire." — I (A. and X.Z.
