Medicine Hat, 15th Oct, 1912; Baltor Medicine Hat News. Dear Sir: : With your kind permission T will endeAvor to reply to some extent, at any rate, to. the letter which ed Im your columns on the isth inst, ever the signature of A. A. H. Reilly. To begin with this young man (for I presume he is young and tnexperi- el) deplores the fact that the m Canadian editors do not dis- bigotry in chronicling the Home Rule debates appearing Jn the papers. He Canadians; accustomed to decent government, themselves, naturally desire - that Irishmen should get justice and it is only a feeling of fair play, which an- imates the opinions, expressed in our Canadian papers. Mr. Rellly has apparently only aie- covered the fact that Ireland was a nation, free and independent, and he) hastens to inform the world of the fact. It is no news to the majority of Irishmen, but the people who gave dreland s freedom away. were not Irish Catholics, but the imported stock from whom, ne doubt, Mr. Relily, despite his mi Mileeian : fs descended. In 1154 A.D. when Pope Adrian IV. (the only En- -siishman ever Bishop of Rome) Felgtied, the Hoglish Goyeramelit of; that Gay had the suprenie impudenc to ask the Pope for a graut of the Island' (Ireland) te the English Crown, gnd although the statement has been maie that a Papal) bull, Stanting the request, was issued, t cannot be confirmed and ,all authen- tic historiang agree that the buil is a that we can supply your needs at the right price and that we an give you the benefit of a long ex- perience by offering you the best that can be procured. : Chance.to Win a Sew ing Machine With every 1.00 purchase we are giving a key and the person holding the key that mnlocks the machine takes the machine absolutely free.

In any case the Pope had ab- Solutely fio power'to do stich a.thing And history proves the fact that.when the Pope, influenced from: English sources, attempted to meddle in drish politics, He was qui kly informed that he was-dealing with a matter outside his jurisdiction. In the words of O'Connell: We take our religion from Rome, but our politics, form Home. Tet me inform Mr. R llly and any Otic Who holds fils belated views that) the giving away of Ireland's freedop was performed In the passing of the Act of Union. That act was carried by the most colossal turpitude that history Jre- cords, A process of blackguardism and basen ss,? Gladstone called it Lecky, the historian (himself an Irish Unionist M. P.), declared. that the unbribed intellect of Ireland was against tie measure. Jt-was Passed Into law by unexampled brib- ery, corruption and fraud: Lor Grey recorded that no Jess than 116 of the-162 members of the Irish but .the -charge is a pattisan. false hood, contrary: to the facta, of History and of eontemporary Ireland. Take history for instance. The Irish Catholics have besh supreme three tinjes.since the Reformation, first in the reign of Queen Mary ( Bloody Mary ); a second time dur- ing the fsing of 1641; and a thira time when the Catholle Parliament of 1689 was in power: On no*occasions were Protestants) persecuted. Queen Mary burned the Protestants subjectsbut, on the Irish side of St. George's Channel, according to. the Protestant historian, Leland suelf was the apirit of toleration, that many, English families, friends of the Re- tormity ,fook refuge in Ireland, and there ed their opinions wit out ipl i Leek jalso pears valuable testhnony to. the religious tolerance of King James Ils (mainly Catholic) Irish Parliament or 1689., He says Among the Irish Catholics, at least, religi- ous intolerance has never been a Parliament Who supported the Act of Union were bribed by. Pitt and Castle- reagir with offices, pensions or peer- ages. About. 700,000.00 were thus spent in open bribery, and the amount) was actually charged against Ireland, and another 5,000,000.00 was spent on. secret bribes. a The peerage was sold, corruption wis everywhere, In the lobby. of the House, in the streets, onthe loffering titles some, offices to others, in short: the Aet of Union w: an agreement. ae have been Teferred to a court t law, It must at once have been cancelled as. a) contact apap tainted. with fraud, and corrup rt si he Marquis of Dowashire received 2 .00, Lord Shannon 200,000.00, Marquis of Bly 300,000.00,, Lord Clanmorrls 126,000.00, Lota.

Such are a few details of the methods employed to pass the Act of Union. I. could AM a book degeribing this act alone, ti space fg/bids and I must confine myself to-Mr, Reilly and his. mirth-proyoking fovenant. No fiineman takes. the Orangemau s threats. very seriously, they so often threaten actual warfara, but never take the field, that the threat grows monotonous, We have seen the Or- angemen in action in South Africa when the Ulster Yeomanry surren- Wered to the.

The treat- t of Bedell, a Protestant prelate, uring the rising of 1641, and the act establishing Hberty of conscience, Passed by the Irish Parliament . of 1689, in the full flush of the. brief. Catholic ascendancy under James IL, exhibit very remarkably this as- example of religious tolerance since. * Mr. Rellly, with the characteristic Aishonest cry of the Unfonist Orange- man a ery which, unfortunately, de- jeelves many honest people deo that Home Rule means, Rome Rule. Ihave the authority agath of Lecky the famous and accepted historian that the only people who asked the tre , ptiests to interfere in Irish politics Were Pitt and Castlor agh, the fath- ers of Unionism, and that they did so in order that the. bishops and priests might Influence the Catholic laity in- to acgulesoing in the uniod. English Governments. of both pages Have not scrapled since then te appeal to the Pope himself to interfere in Irish politics, Peel aptenled to 1844; to discourage O'Connell's repeal agitation, Lord Granville, Secretary for Forel t Affairs, xent a delegate to the Pope In 1880, fn order to get the latter to Bttike at the Land Lea- gue. In 1888 again, when the Union- ists Were fh power, the Pope: was perstiaded to Iiwae a rescript/denoun- cing the plan pf campaign, where- upon forty Irish Catholic members of, Parliament met n Dublin and denied the right of the Pope to interfere in Irish politics.

Tt is simply the establishment of an Irish Legislature with two Houses, and an Irish executive for the man- agement and control of purely Itish affairs. Th Legislature is 6 be subordinate to Westminster. It ig to be excluded from interfering fm mat- tere relating to the Crown and Vice- royalty, to peace and war, the army and navy, to forelgn and colonial Felations, to external trade, and coin age. It.is simply designed to give the Government of 1d to the people who know most about Frish needs ad are thetefore best fitted for the task, It does not mean aparation, J it does not m ln religions disabiiity. It simply m ans that Irishmen, under Home Rule,'will be among the most loyal of Britain's subjects. Mr, Reilly is right in saying that: the Episcopalians form a tenth of the Trish population, but he omits - to say that they hold the bulk of the Government posit ons, whether of honor or enmiolument. The Irish non- conformists, Presbyterians, Metho- ists, etc., are excluded as rigorously ? We are Ready for Your Fall Building. Everything in 4 Good Building Phone 166. BSeaver Lumber Co., La. ED. W.
