A LIBERAL'S OUTSPOKENNESS.
A HOPELESS VIEW
Received 8 p.m., Sept. 12. " LONDON, Sept. 12. Lord Loreburn in a-letter said ho good purpose would be served by ignoring the certainty that the passage of Home Rule will be followed by serious rioting in the north of Ireland. It is extravagance to speak: of civil war or fancy that the troops, if called out, would refuse to maintain order, but the -experience of the past shows that much disturbance may be expected, more widespread and more violent than on any former occasion during our times.
In discussing it. the "Times" says the letter is addressed to the nation, hut the main importance lias in the fact that here for the first time that ever a nolitir.il crisis of the first mag* ritude may bo a national disaster, a d-'stinenished Liberal statesman makes a public confession of the belief that as a permanent solution the Government's Irish policy is indefensible.
