CONTROLLING THE WIRE.

Mr. Belloc has shown us how the Jews control “the other end of the wire” in Continental news agencies, and how therefore the wire is, so to speak, poisoned against the Papacy in the British press (says the Glasgow Observer). Now in Ulster it is much the same thing with the Orangemen. Unionists have control of the Ulster end of the British news wire, and all reports are colored and distorted to serve the end of their political camp. Some of the better-class English newspapers are aware of this. Some others see the situation as it is. A Nationalist procession in Ulster is proclaimed, that is forbidden, by a military officer who is himself the head of the Carson army in Ulster. In effegt, therefore, the Nationalists see British government in Ireland committed formally (as it has always been actually) to their adversaries and plunderers, the Orange and Unionist combination in Ulster.
