SIR EDWARD CARSON'S PRAYER.
Sir Edward Carson, speaking in tho Houso of Commons, said tho violence of Air Churchill's speech gave a gleam of hope, as ho always played tho role of demagogue when making an offer towards settlement. He (Sir Edward Carson) took full responsibility for tho gun-running. It was nothing new. Ho had said two and a half years ago that Ulster would resist by force. Ho had already gone far towards meeting Mr Churchill when ho said Ulster would not complain if tho Federal system was adopted in Ireland as part of a Federal system for the United Kingdom. In that caso Ulster would get equal treatment, and there would bo no moral justification for resistance. Ho would also say that much as he detested and feared Home Rule, if it were set up, it would bo his earnest prayer that it might havo such success that Ulster herself would seek to como in, but sho would never bo brought in forcibly.
