mons for the city of tlttlway
Is a set ions nittlter for both
Kuglaud and It eland. Irishmen could
not offer a greater Insult to Kngllsh
nutlotiiil sentiment. Those who take a
calm and dlpassloitate view or the
consequences lo which the election of
Colonel Lynch wilt Inevitably lend can
not but deeply 1 egret the Incident. Col
onel Lynch, a llrltlsh citizen, took up
arms to aid enemies with whom Kng-
luiid was engaged and still Is engaged
In war. Not only this, hut he recruited
u considerable number Of soldiers lo
light on the side of the Uoors and
led them, If with no great effect on the
fortunes of the struggle, at till events
wllh nn Implacable and determined ef
fort. So far this only concerned Lynch
and those who assembled under his
banner. l!ut now a large and Impor
tant constituency takes up the cause
and the man and lavish upon htm tho
highest political gift in their keeping.
Colonel Lynch declares that he will
take his seat In parliament. Mr. Hed
mond, who Is now in this country, says
there Is no reason why he should not.
At the same time Kngllshnion arc de
termined that he shall not. ff he sets
foot on llrltlsh soil In tlie present tem
per of Kngllshnion he will be deported
to Houth Africa, tried as a rebel and
made to suffer the fate of a traitor. If
this should happen, and it lies entirely
within the hounds of probability, Ire
land would be tin own into 11 state of
convulsive agitation, without parallel
situ 0 the iclielllon of 'fS. Here would
be iin end, It must seem, to all that de
velopment in manufacture .-mil agricul
ture of tecetit years, all notion of home
rule, economic progtoss, the retention
of Jrlsh men and Irish women at home,
In it woid, the peace and prosperity of
the country. Kngland could maintain
the authority she now has only under
drastic despotic power. Kvett sympa
thetic Knglishineii like John Morley and
.Tames IJryce will be unable to lay the
feioiious indignation which Lyneh's
triumphant 1 etui 11 to it seat in the im
pel i.tl liailiainent has already moused.
Colonel Lyneh's opponent was not an
Kngli.slininn. Horace Plunket is an
Irishman who has Hit own himself heart
and soul into the industrial develop
ment of his country. His success has
boon phenomenal, Ireland has changed
her tare since he became Hlentllied
with the svleiitiilc leitalssance of prac
tically the sole general occupation of
her people agriculture.
The end of this election is not yet in
sight. It Is one of the most unfortunate
things that has ever happened to Ire
land. It also ends any chance of a re
action of Llrltlsh sympathy in behalf of
the Boers. It raises a new issue on
which Ireland is certain to lose.
