BISHOP O’DONNELL AND FEDERALISM.

M A ' 1 lir VOt ! ° f th “ ls t 0 Mr - Thomas Arkins, M.A., Who delivered an address on ‘Federalism’ at the inaugural meeting of University College Legal and 1 Economic Society, Dublin, Right Rev. D?. O’Donnell j° f f Ra P e said that while the Home Rule Bill did not constitute Federalism, it paved the way for a gieat federation. They would have three or our National Parliaments, with a Federal or Central Parliament. Meantime it was quite vain to try to put the •Irish arrangement into a category with any other. It was specially meant to suit the circumstances of Ireland which did not correspond with the circumstances ofTnother settlement, especially because of the peculiarity of the Irish financial arrangement.
