organisation and preparation." ' Rossa exhibited a bundle of cheques. "Here's money. Seventy dollars, fifty dollars," and so on. The proofs are ample that the crimes committed in Ireland and England are plotted and organized in America, that the funds which maintain the conspiracies in life are gathered from America, that in fact the Irish question has bccome a trade and means of livelihood to a number of men, who collect funds from their deluded countrymen and countrywomen abroad. The Irish leaders know that their real strength is in the United States, they have found the advantage of having a place outside the United Kingdom where they can hatch plots, and especially where they can gather money. Hence probably Sir. Redmond's mission. If he succeeds in j establishing numerous branches of the Irish League throughout Australia and New Zealand, he will have given a new stimulus to outrages and to dynamite explosions. The question rests mainly with the Irish residents in these colonies. With the law as it at present stands, Ireland may become the happiest and most prosperous part of the Three Kingdoms. There is nothing to prevent it but the savage instincts of brutal men, maintained and stimulated by money oath c red from ignorant men and women. What will be thought in England of these colonies if it is found that money is drained from them to maintain the criminals who perpetrate such crimes as the recent explosion in London.
