CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
NORTH AND SOUTH VISITED. DIFFERENCE IN THE CONDITIONS. LONDON, Juno 21. The Hon. W. F. Edgar, a Victorian Legislative Councillor, spent three weeks in North and South Ireland, visited both Parliaments, and was tho guest of the Government in Belfast, and of the Speaker of the Free State Parliament in Dublin. He found conditions in the South chaotic. The Ministers practically live continuously in the Parliamentary Buildings, which are guarded by tho military day and night. Tho banks and public buildings are also protected by armed guards. Belfast, on the other hand, was quiet, peaceful, prosperous, and even tho prohibition of Sunday trading by hotels was not resented.—A. and N.Z. cable.
