15572 | Why, it will be said, assume that the Irish Government and the Irish people will not enforce the law? |
15572 | Will English Courts find it easy to give effect to a judgment in Ireland if the Irish Executive and its servants stand neutral or hostile? |
15572 | Will any Irishman of spirit bear this? |
15572 | Will the Imperial supremacy which is supposed to be so effective in the colonies be of any more worth in Ireland than in Victoria? |
15572 | Will they permanently acquiesce in restraints not imposed on the Channel Islands? |
15572 | [ 123] How far, then, is trust in any of the three forms, which it may on this occasion take, a reasonable sentiment? |

15277 | Did you ever,asked Lord Salisbury on a remembered occasion,"have a boil on your neck?" |
15277 | Is he the sort of man that would be likely to be breaking windows? |
15277 | Is he the sort of man that you would expect to find at the head of a mob shouting,''To Hell with the Pope''? |
15277 | Well, but,said the Judge,"what is the nature of your objection? |
15277 | What sort of man,asked the counsel,"would you say Jamie Williamson is?" |
15277 | )_ Now, as my Solicitor, how do you advise me to deal with this difficulty? |
15277 | And if"Ulster"does fight after all? |
15277 | And the outcome? |
15277 | Are we to be denied the hope that fir, and spruce, and Austrian pine may conceivably be lifted out of the plane of Party politics? |
15277 | As First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney- General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, or Private Secretary? |
15277 | Ask your neighbour offhand at a dinner in Dublin:"What is so- and- so, by the way?" |
15277 | But how are we to do it? |
15277 | But is not the Kingdom of Heaven taken by violence? |
15277 | But is"sentiment"to be ignored in the fixing of constitutions? |
15277 | But was it a failure of the English intellect or a lapse of the English will? |
15277 | But where, asks the triumphant critic not quite ingenuously, is the line to be drawn between local and Imperial affairs? |
15277 | But whom does it aggrieve? |
15277 | But why recall all this"dead history"? |
15277 | But will they be solved by a grapple between the Orange Lodges and the Ancient Order of Hibernians? |

15277 | How are these wants to be supplied but by blending more closely with Ireland the industry and capital of Great Britain?" |
15277 | How do you clean a slate except by liquidating the debts of which it keeps the record? |
15277 | How is this to be done? |
15277 | How, one may well ask, are we to itemise the retail iniquities of a system of government which is itself a wholesale iniquity? |
15277 | If we were the higher race why did we not put them out? |
15277 | In which of my capacities? |
15277 | Is it necessary to ask who won? |
15277 | Is it necessary to trace step by step the complete surrender of the last ditchers of those days? |
15277 | Is the decline in the area under flax to be applauded or deplored? |
15277 | Is there no way out of a situation so troublesome and humiliating? |
15277 | Is this state of things immutable? |
15277 | Is this to be found in the Westminster Assembly, sometimes loosely styled the"Imperial Parliament"? |

15277 | That I am a person I know; but what is a person? |
15277 | That Ireland is a nation I know; but what is a nation? |
15277 | That is your advice? |
15277 | The_ post hoc_ may be taken as established; was it a_ propter hoc_? |
15277 | Very well, people say, what are you going to do with Home Rule when you get it? |
15277 | Was the Union the cause as well as the antecedent of this decay? |
15277 | What are the English going to do with Home Rule when they get it? |
15277 | What does it all come to? |
15277 | What does it matter whether my ancestors murdered yours or not? |
15277 | What does it matter whether yours were the saints and men of letters and mine the savages, or whether the boot was on the other leg? |

15277 | What other interpretation is possible? |
15277 | What sort of a mind, then, is the English mind? |
15277 | What then are the conditions of success? |

15277 | Why should the augury fail? |
15277 | Why should we be concerned? |
15277 | Why then are they not Home Rulers? |
15277 | Why? |
15277 | Will Great Britain decide wisely in the choice to which she is now put? |
15277 | Will the shipbuilders, the spinners, and the weavers close down their works in order to patronise Sir Edward Carson''s performance on a pop- gun? |
15277 | Will"Ulster"fight against an effort to check the mischief? |
15277 | Will"Ulster"fight against such an attempt to increase its prosperity? |
15277 | You are certainly in love; suppose you were suddenly asked"to state the case"for love? |
15277 | You are probably civilised; suppose you were suddenly asked"to state the case for civilisation"? |
20016 | How will you do that? |
20016 | If Ireland can prosper so well without Home Rule,so runs this line of reasoning,"why give her Home Rule at all?" |
20016 | Were there no black centuries before 1800? 20016 You talk about the tendency to unity,"he would say,"but have we not here a clear instance of division?" |
20016 | ***** What has produced this great change in the situation since 1893? |
20016 | ***** What, then, emerges from this survey? |
20016 | But what about her home trade? |
20016 | But what about their remuneration? |
20016 | But what could be more dangerous to a city like Belfast than a no- rent campaign under the guidance of English lawyers? |
20016 | But what of Rome itself? |
20016 | But who can doubt that it would also introduce a new element of civil power into the schools of Ireland? |
20016 | Can any sensible man believe that there is no favour here?" |
20016 | Could any reasonable man call that a final solution of the problem of government in a country where four- fifths of the people were Catholics? |
20016 | Could there be a more extravagant way of governing a country? |
20016 | Do those who reason thus ever reflect how it is that the English Catholics are often among the most formidable opponents of the Home Rule cause? |
20016 | Does he really contend that Ireland is incapable of receiving the same liberties as we are granting to India? |
20016 | For can we doubt that the alchemy of liberty will here, too, even in this sordid realm of finance, repeat its ancient power? |
20016 | For instance, should the vote for Irish Constabulary be regarded as a local or Imperial charge? |
20016 | For what would he discover? |
20016 | HOME RULE DIFFICULTIES 77 Rome Rule_ or_ Home Rule? |
20016 | HOME RULE DIFFICULTIES ROME RULE_ or_ HOME RULE? |
20016 | HOME RULE IN HISTORY What is the fact of Irish history vital to our present cause? |
20016 | Had Ireland no grievances? |
20016 | Have we not there in this latest achievement a specimen of State authorities over- ruled by a central power?" |
20016 | How could she get on without England? |
20016 | How did Marlborough and Clive, Chatham and Walpole, do their great world- work with an Irish Parliament behind them? |
20016 | How did she get her Mutiny Bill-- a limited Parliament-- a repeal of Poynings''Law-- a Constitution? |
20016 | How has that miracle been achieved after the terrible internecine struggles of the mid- nineteenth century? |
20016 | How has this system worked? |
20016 | How is it that Hungary has forgotten the hangings and the butcheries of the sixties, and still works within the Austrian Empire? |
20016 | IN OR OUT? |
20016 | If Home Rule is so certain to be ruinous to Empire, how, we may well ask, did these rulers build up the British Empire? |
20016 | Is it impossible that even there the binding and unifying principle of Irish life may begin to work? |
20016 | Is it likely that Rome is so beset with anxiety to drive them across the Channel? |
20016 | Is it not likely that it is Home Rule that will save her in the future? |
20016 | Is it not quite obvious that these are arguments after judgment? |
20016 | Is it possible, in short, that in Ireland alone, of all countries, freedom should mean persecution? |
20016 | Is it, indeed, so certain that"Home Rule"would increase the power of Rome in Ireland? |
20016 | Is not that an instance of unionism as against Home Rule? |
20016 | Is there, indeed, a single instance in human history when the grant of civil liberty has led to the forging of religious chains? |
20016 | It is that record that has driven Ireland into the arms of Rome, and who can wonder? |
20016 | May we not be sure that Home Rule, instead of strengthening this evil tendency, will weaken it? |
20016 | Might he not even, if he were a shrewd man, suspect that that was the very object and aim which his informants had in view? |
20016 | Might not Belfast, in that case, be able not merely to enrich her merchants but to raise the social conditions of her own people? |
20016 | Now, what does this amount to? |
20016 | Or Irish judges, or even Irish poverty? |
20016 | ROME AND HOME RULE What is the moral of all this? |
20016 | That the people who use them are merely seeking excuses for refusing Home Rule altogether and at all seasons? |
20016 | Thus:--_ Quebec_-- Catholics 1,429,000 Protestants 189,000_ Ontario_-- Protestants 1,626,000 Catholics 390,000 How is this problem solved? |
20016 | What about the five of Home Rule? |
20016 | What are the general outlines of this great measure? |
20016 | What did Ireland ever ask that was granted? |
20016 | What did she ever demand that was not refused? |
20016 | What do they show? |
20016 | What do they signify? |
20016 | What does this new prosperity amount to? |
20016 | What evidence could you have more convincing, what witnesses more eloquent? |
20016 | What is the present position in regard to Irish finance? |
20016 | What is to happen if the two Irish Chambers differ? |
20016 | What of the''curse of Cromwell,''the broken''Treaty of Limerick,''and the penal laws?" |
20016 | What then is it? |
20016 | What would happen in that case? |
20016 | What, then, are the lines that should be followed if we are to go forward to that goal? |
20016 | What, then, is the present Parliamentary relationship between Irish Home Rule and the Federal idea? |
20016 | Where is the evidence of the Orangemen in their strongholds meting out similar measure to the Catholics? |
20016 | Why are the English Catholics so often opposed to Home Rule? |
20016 | Why is it that these laws proved intolerable in Ireland, and have yet survived up to the present moment in England? |
20016 | Will the clouds return, or is this improvement to be sure and lasting? |
20016 | Will you give £20,000,000 to the Irish?" |
20016 | [ 11] Are we to say that trust and tolerance are German virtues, unknown to the British people? |
20016 | [ 32] For the governing clauses of that Act see Appendix E.[ 33] May not the Insurance Act do the same? |
20016 | [ 44] What follows from all this? |
20016 | [ 71] The powers of these Legislative Councils are still very limited; but who can doubt that they will increase? |
20016 | [ 74] Why is this? |
14518 | Again, how are we to get a strong centralized administration in the face of a powerful and hostile parliamentary representation? |
14518 | Are the conditions of the connection between England and Ireland, as laid down in the Act of Union, incapable of improvement? |
14518 | Are there any reasons to suppose that the condition of Ireland is such as to render the example of the Colonies applicable? |
14518 | BY CANON MACCOLL Is it not time that the opponents of Home Rule for Ireland should define their position? |
14518 | But how deep does Irish dislike go? |
14518 | But who supports things as they are? |
14518 | But why are the Irish disloyal? |
14518 | But why is that to be flung aside under the odd name of sentimentalism, while pessimist prophesying is to be taken for gospel? |
14518 | But will it persevere? |
14518 | But, it is said, Scotch national sentiment is as strong as Irish, why should not a legislative union be as acceptable to Ireland as to Scotland? |
14518 | Can any impartial man be surprised that such a measure, carried in such a manner, should have proved unsuccessful? |
14518 | Changes are ever taking place in the growth, so to speak, of the several British possessions, but what is the result? |
14518 | Could even Yorkshire or Lancashire be governed permanently in that way? |
14518 | Could the two English parties, differing so profoundly from one another, combine against the third party? |
14518 | Do they mean to go back or forward? |
14518 | Here, again, why should we expect success in the future from a principle that has so failed in the past? |
14518 | How has it affected the current politics of England? |
14518 | How is Ireland to be governed on Parliamentary principles if the voice of her representatives is to be forcibly silenced or disregarded? |
14518 | How long could the Government of India be carried on under such conditions? |
14518 | How long could this go on? |
14518 | I am often asked, What are the best books to read on the Irish question? |
14518 | If it is"absolutely certain that his policy worked gross wrong,"what is the explanation and the defence? |
14518 | Is all authority of course lost when it is not pushed to the extreme? |
14518 | Is it a certain maxim that the fewer causes of discontentment are left by Government the more the subject will be inclined to resist and rebel?" |
14518 | Is it directed against Englishmen, or against an English official system? |
14518 | Is it not time to try some new treatment-- one which has been tried in similar cases, and always with success? |
14518 | Is it true that no case can exist in which it is proper for the Sovereign to accede to the desires of his discontented subjects? |
14518 | Is there anything peculiar in this case to make it a rule for itself? |
14518 | Now I do not myself believe these things, but what else can any advocate of Home Rule say in answer to them? |
14518 | Now, how did the Southern whites deal with this state of things? |
14518 | Now, what is the link which fastens each of these possessions to the mother country? |
14518 | Now, what is the nature of the Irish Land Question? |
14518 | Now, what is the remedy of such a state of things? |
14518 | Now, what was the course he took? |
14518 | Our only guide to the probabilities of the future is our experience of the past And what has that been in Ireland? |
14518 | Such efforts have hitherto met with no response; is it too much to hope that it will be otherwise in the year now opening? |
14518 | The Irish members wanted it: what business had an English member to interfere to defeat their wishes, and thwart the Executive? |
14518 | They have now been in office for eighteen months, and what do we behold? |
14518 | Under those circumstances, what was the course taken by the thirteen States? |
14518 | Undoubtedly it is the feeling of nationality; and what is nationality? |
14518 | Was it a tightening of the bonds between Austria and Hungary? |
14518 | What about the Conservative party? |
14518 | What administration ever carried either honesty or centralization to a higher pitch than the Irish administration of Mr. Forster? |
14518 | What are the prospects of its settlement? |
14518 | What could be less successful? |
14518 | What did England do? |
14518 | What did become of them? |
14518 | What did we do? |
14518 | What hope is there of this? |
14518 | What is the position which it now occupies? |
14518 | What justification can be made for this change of front? |
14518 | What then? |
14518 | What was the malign power which made the boons we had conferred shrivel up,"like fairy gifts fading away"? |
14518 | What were the considerations presented to them as supreme supervisors and guardians of the British Empire? |
14518 | What will quiet these panic fears which we entertain of the hostile effect of a conciliatory conduct? |
14518 | What, then, are the conclusions intended to be drawn from the foregoing premises? |
14518 | What, then, was the position of Mr. Gladstone''s Government at the close of the election of 1885? |
14518 | When such a scheme is proposed, can Ireland be left out of it? |
14518 | When the Bill was introduced the question at once arose-- Should Ireland be included? |
14518 | Where is their Bill? |
14518 | Where was it to stop? |
14518 | Why do we find it in a Parliament of which the constitution and the environment were alike intolerable? |
14518 | Why should the future be different? |
14518 | Why, it may be asked, should Lord Salisbury''s Government burn its fingers over Ireland, as so many governments have burnt their fingers before? |
14518 | Will the operation do more harm to his constitution than the slow corrosions of a disorder grown inveterate? |
14518 | Will the reasons and forces described above bring us to Home Rule? |
14518 | Yet what has been the result? |
14518 | [ 67] The question arises, What is the magnetic influence which induces communities of men to combine together in federal unions? |
14518 | and if so, when, how, and why? |
14518 | when will this speculating against fact and reason end? |
15450 | And even if we suppose the Irish Legislature and Executive to confine themselves within the letter of the Act, are the checks of any real value? |
15450 | And if raised in driblets, on what will it be spent? |
15450 | And if they could, what sort of a residuum of a United Kingdom government would be left over? |
15450 | Are electors not responsible to Him for the use they make of their votes? |
15450 | Are the forces to be controlled from England, and what is this but a counter revolution? |
15450 | Are we deliberately to take a step which will almost certainly involve us in a similar dilemma? |
15450 | Are we prepared to see four( or, if Wales be added, five) legislatures, and four( or five) executives, in these islands? |
15450 | Are you now going to place a legislative weapon in her hand whereby she will be able to dominate Protestants also? |
15450 | At what rate could an Irish government raise the money? |
15450 | But Ulstermen ask, What is industrial prosperity without freedom? |
15450 | But how would Protestants fare? |
15450 | But if the civil power in Ireland does not call in the military force, how can the latter be used to enforce the law? |
15450 | But what layman takes the slightest interest in these paper supremacies? |
15450 | But what of the Church of Ireland under Home Rule? |
15450 | But would she be secure under Home Rule? |
15450 | But, could an Irish Government Guaranteed Railway Stock be issued at 4 per cent.? |
15450 | Can Great Britain divest herself of a religious responsibility in dealing with Home Rule? |
15450 | Can it be expected that this attempt, even if it succeeds, will produce better results for land purchase than the pitiable failure of the Act of 1909? |
15450 | Can this be done with impunity? |
15450 | Could the Irish Government borrow £50,000,000, and at what rate? |
15450 | Does any one suppose that a million of the most earnest Protestants in the world are going to submit to such an arrangement? |
15450 | Does not the balance of credit when the comparison is made with the Nationalists come on the side of Ulster? |
15450 | Does this fact suggest nothing? |
15450 | For what are the main constitutional dangers of creating rival Parliaments in the same State? |
15450 | Has she ever said that she would practise toleration towards Protestants when she was in power? |
15450 | Hedged in by British bayonets the Lord Lieutenant may exercise his veto, but upon whose advice will he do it? |
15450 | How has he been met? |
15450 | How is it that the line of demarcation in Irish politics almost exactly coincides with the line of demarcation in religion? |
15450 | If they sow to the wind, must they not reap the whirlwind? |
15450 | If this is not progression-- and progression under the Legislative Union-- to what can the predicate be more truthfully applied? |
15450 | In what sense are any of these conditions likely to be true of, let us say, an Irish landlord under this Home Rule Bill? |
15450 | Is federation consistent with the predominance of one state, England, in wealth and population? |
15450 | Is it conceivable that all this can he accomplished if the Union between the countries is rent asunder? |
15450 | Is it extravagant to suppose that the complainant would not gain much by his appeal to CÃ ¦ sar? |
15450 | Is it not certain that less money will be raised in England, for Ireland, after Home Rule? |
15450 | Is the Admiralty prepared to discharge this office in the event of war? |
15450 | Is there not a God in Heaven who will take note of such national procedure? |
15450 | Is this Bill likely to be so framed that its provisions can be adapted unchanged to Scotland, Wales, or England? |
15450 | Must not each unit in a Federation be put as regards financial matters upon a like footing; and, if so, can Ireland bear her share? |
15450 | Neither Englishmen nor Scotsmen would be willing themselves to enter under such a yoke, and why should they ask Irishmen to do so? |
15450 | Once again, it is not unreasonable to ask-- How will a Dublin Parliament be able to provide the necessary funds? |
15450 | Should Ireland under Home Rule be represented at Westminster by its members and representative peers? |
15450 | The Union has been no obstacle to their development: why should it have been the barrier to the rest of Ireland? |
15450 | They say, What has religion got to do with Home Rule? |
15450 | What are the prospects of Irish agriculture under Home Rule? |
15450 | What could she do, except, after a futile struggle, to give way? |
15450 | What fiscal resources, and under what conditions are they obtainable? |
15450 | What has been done in the domain of Irish Education, and what still remains to be done? |
15450 | What has been the Irish Nationalist attitude? |
15450 | What indissoluble relationship is there between the two that the expenditure upon the one should be made dependent upon the requirements of the other? |
15450 | What is it?" |
15450 | What then is the_ primâ facie_ case which has induced many Englishmen and Scotchmen to think that it ought to be seriously debated? |
15450 | What will be the effect upon Ireland? |
15450 | What will it avail, when that time comes, that in 1912 the Irish leaders declared themselves content with a subordinate legislature? |
15450 | What, in the name of common sense, has land purchase to do with education? |
15450 | What, then, is the secret of this determination? |
15450 | What, then, would England do? |
15450 | Whenever have they been treated in this manner before by the Government in their schemes of legislation? |
15450 | Where in these instances is our"bigotry"or our hostility to Irish progress? |
15450 | Where is the money to come from? |
15450 | Who is going to be the_ de facto_ ruler of Ireland?" |
15450 | Who is going to exercise supremacy? |
15450 | Why can not similar safeguards be introduced into the Intermediate system? |
15450 | Why should the opposition of aristocratic Tory landlords be thought worthy of respect? |
15450 | Why should we then hesitate to apply to Irish discontent the"freedom"which has proved so sovereign a remedy elsewhere? |
15450 | Why should"bigots"be conciliated; or"deadheads"receive so much consideration? |
15450 | Will a Nationalist Parliament be prepared to find it, and if so, from what source? |
15450 | Will an Irish elected authority agree to pay for these boons, and will they be able to pay? |
15450 | Would independence have been granted to the Transvaal or Orange Free State had their use of it been foreseen? |
15450 | gold_ rentes_ stand at 92, or of the Argentine, which has to borrow at nearly 5 per cent.? |

15086 | Am I weakening the case for democracy itself in pressing this view? |
15086 | And what would be the further consequence? |
15086 | Are the phenomena I have reviewed arguments for Home Rule or against Home Rule? |
15086 | Are we to be told now by Unionists that the Union must be maintained in order to maintain this subsidy? |
15086 | But how, on its merits, and apart from the question of taxation, could such an excess be justified? |
15086 | But what light can Estate Duty throw on( for example) the dividends collected at the source from British or foreign securities held by Irish banks? |
15086 | CHAPTER IX IRELAND TO- DAY Why does present- day Ireland need Home Rule? |
15086 | Can anyone wonder that public opinion in Ireland was instinctively against that war? |
15086 | Can we be surprised that they, a rude, backward race, failed under the test where we ourselves, with far less justification, had failed so often? |
15086 | Did Durham advocate Canadian Home Rule because Canada was"so far"? |
15086 | Did the proof of the error in Canada induce Englishmen to question the soundness of the precedent on which the error was based? |
15086 | Do not the conclusions set forth above bear upon them the stamp of common sense? |
15086 | Do they tend to show that Ireland is"fitter"now for Home Rule, or that she manages very well without Home Rule? |
15086 | Does it necessarily follow that Ireland should be given power to construct her own Navy, and raise and control her own troops? |
15086 | Does not she become a convex mirror, in which, swollen to unnatural proportions, the mistakes of two centuries are reflected? |
15086 | Ethics and honour apart, where was the common sense of the legislative Union? |
15086 | FEDERAL OR COLONIAL HOME RULE? |
15086 | For example, Is the upkeep of the Lord- Lieutenant an Irish or an Imperial charge? |
15086 | Has Ireland anything to gain by separation? |
15086 | Has merit its reward? |
15086 | Has she anything to lose? |
15086 | How are we to deal with it? |
15086 | How could Ireland frame a financial policy? |
15086 | How did this come about? |
15086 | How do they explain away the support for that policy in the Dominions? |
15086 | How do they reconcile them with opposition to Home Rule for Ireland? |
15086 | How exactly do we stand at the present moment? |
15086 | How, on the other hand, stands the argument of Lord Farrer and Mr. Currie? |
15086 | If Ireland is disorderly and retrograde, how can she deserve freedom? |
15086 | If and in so far as the Upper Chamber is elective, should election be direct or indirect? |
15086 | If so, was it to be left as a separate unit, or was it to be amalgamated in a Union with its neighbour, Upper Canada? |
15086 | In what provision of the coming Bill will the difference between Federal Home Rule and Colonial Home Rule arise? |
15086 | Is it a public opinion derived from the vital contact of ideas and interests, and taking shape in a healthy and normal distribution of parties? |
15086 | Is it strange that the Colonies themselves regard such logic, when applied to Ireland, as perverted and absurd? |
15086 | Is it that the British minority, being so very small, is more liable to oppression by the Dutch? |
15086 | Is there any unity of national purpose, transcending party divisions? |
15086 | Is thought free? |
15086 | Morality aside, is that common sense? |
15086 | More pertinent question still, what are the conditions which will inevitably be imposed in exchange? |
15086 | Nevertheless, the problem before us is one of devolution pure and simple, and the question is, how far is devolution to go? |
15086 | Now, how much more will be required? |
15086 | Now, what was the"people"in the minds of the Volunteers? |
15086 | Now, where do we stand? |
15086 | Once admit the principle of restitution, and where are you to stop? |
15086 | Quebec Home Rule or Dominion Home Rule? |
15086 | Should they have used force, even under the threat of Burgoyne''s guns? |
15086 | Strange, is it not, that such a movement should have to emphasize the fact? |
15086 | Take the Imperial argument, shaken to its foundations by subsequent events, from the case he stated in 1893, and what remains? |
15086 | To be held by Lord- Lieutenant To be held by Lord- Lieutenant,( acting normally on the advice_ acting on advice of Irish of Irish Cabinet? |
15086 | Two further questions remain to be considered:( 1) Can we assume that in the future purchase will proceed smoothly? |
15086 | Was French or Lower Canada, with its small minority of British, to be given representative Government at all? |
15086 | Was it because Ireland, unlike Canada, was"so near"? |
15086 | Was it respectable for armed men to dictate to a Parliament, however just their cause? |
15086 | Was it to be the policy of the Duke of Wellington or of the Earl of Durham, of Fitzgibbon or the Volunteers? |
15086 | Were they to trust or suspect, to admit or to exclude from full political rights, the new- comers? |
15086 | What are the objections to Irish control over Purchase, with its corollary, Irish payment of the running costs of Purchase? |
15086 | What are the objections to giving Ireland, like the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, control over her own Customs? |
15086 | What are the objections? |
15086 | What are to be the relations between the subordinate Irish Parliament and Government, and the Imperial Parliament and Government? |
15086 | What do these terms really mean? |
15086 | What form should that contribution eventually take? |
15086 | What has taken its place? |
15086 | What is the really practical significance of Ireland''s proximity to England? |
15086 | What is the ruling power within Ireland? |
15086 | What is the train of reasoning in this strange specimen of political argument? |
15086 | What is to be the framework of Home Rule? |
15086 | What prevented unity? |
15086 | What question? |
15086 | What rational or scientific limit can be set to it? |
15086 | What was its corollary? |
15086 | What was the remedy? |
15086 | What was the ultimate cause of this glaring divergency? |
15086 | What would Mr. Arthur Balfour himself have prophesied with certainty in the case of any other country but Ireland? |
15086 | What would have happened in any Colony? |
15086 | What would one expect to happen? |
15086 | What, in the Colonies, Ireland, and everywhere else, is the deep spiritual impulse behind the desire for Home Rule? |
15086 | Where are the dangers and difficulties of exclusion? |
15086 | Where is our common sense? |
15086 | Where is the crux of the problem? |
15086 | Where is the wisdom in selecting direct taxation as peculiarly suitable to Irish control? |
15086 | Whichever course was taken, what was to be the relation between the Home Government and Canada? |
15086 | Why foster a spirit of undying enmity among a people disposed to dwell together in harmony? |
15086 | Why less urgent? |
15086 | Why subject the Colony to the dissensions of party? |
15086 | Why? |
15086 | Will it be good for Ireland? |
15086 | Will they profit by it? |
15086 | Would Mr. Chamberlain recast his argument now? |
15086 | Would it have been possible to design a system better calculated to embitter, impoverish, and demoralize a valuable portion of the Empire? |
15086 | Would she naturally be inclined to increase direct taxation? |
15086 | [ 4] Why is this? |
15086 | [ 53] But why in the world should the British party pendulum determine an important Irish matter like this? |
29710 | ''An''how''ll I do that?'' 29710 ''But can ye handle it?'' |
29710 | ''Ha, Ha,''says the banker,''is it there ye are? 29710 ''Was it you kilt the jackdaw?'' |
29710 | An Orangeman, and a black Protestant, I fear? |
29710 | An''can ye tell me why the farmers should have all the land an''not the labourers? 29710 An''d''ye think Home Rule will enable ye to do betther? |
29710 | An''how would ye know, at all, at all? |
29710 | An''some of the little houldhers says,''Pat,''says they,''what''ll we do wid the money whin we''ve no taxes to pay?'' 29710 An''why not?" |
29710 | An''why so? |
29710 | An''why would n''t we remimber King William? 29710 And how heavy is the average fish?" |
29710 | And was the landlord shot? |
29710 | Appointment? |
29710 | Arrah, what d''ye mane by trimmin''s? |
29710 | But how about the pledges, the solemn and reiterated pledges, of Michael Davitt and the rest? |
29710 | But if England does not please us, can we not cut the cable? 29710 But if the best Catholics are opposed to Home Rule, why do n''t they say so publicly?" |
29710 | But tell me something-- How is it that the English people are deceived by that arch- professor of ca nt? 29710 Did ye ever know a man who was contint wid a good bargain when he has a prospect of a better bargain still?" |
29710 | Did ye hear of the Home Rule Bill? 29710 Did ye injy the matein?" |
29710 | Do n''t you think the Papists would be tolerant? |
29710 | Give instances of what they can do, say you? 29710 Have you noticed how the Irish people are gulled?" |
29710 | How do we know we''ll be employed for six years, once the Irish leaders get matters in their own hands? 29710 How far away is that?" |
29710 | How is it that the Catholic population, as a rule, are merely the hewers of wood and drawers of water? 29710 How long were you in Ireland before you changed your mind?" |
29710 | How many people moved to Gilford out of the two counties? |
29710 | How would I know, is it? 29710 I suppose you ask me seriously? |
29710 | If Mr. Gladstone wished to go to war to- morrow, is he not at the mercy of the Irish Nationalist party? 29710 Is not this true?" |
29710 | Is this extraordinary difference the result of British rule? |
29710 | Loyal to what? |
29710 | Meeting begun yet? |
29710 | Mon alive, d''ye tell me that any mon said sic a fuleish speech? 29710 Now what could ye do with the like iv_ him_?" |
29710 | Pardon me, Sir, but are you English? |
29710 | Shall we go back to Henry II.? 29710 Studying fortification?" |
29710 | That is, a penny a pound? |
29710 | The Land League? 29710 The very first thing we do,"said to me an influential Dubliner I met here,"is to double the harbour dues; you ca n''t prevent that, I suppose? |
29710 | Thin why do n''t ye lave it? |
29710 | What are the inequalities of England and Ireland? 29710 What are they worth?" |
29710 | What are those implements? |
29710 | What good would it do me to have men imprisoned? |
29710 | What will happen if we do not get the Bill? 29710 What will ye do wid it when ye''ve got it?" |
29710 | What would I do to settle the Irish question? 29710 What would happen if he expressed his loyalty?" |
29710 | What''s the next place to this? |
29710 | What''s the use of showing your teeth when you ca n''t bite? |
29710 | What, then, are my opinions, expressed in a concise form? 29710 Where do you catch them?" |
29710 | Where is the inequality? 29710 Who d''ye mane, wid yer dhrivin''to the boats?" |
29710 | Why are they bankrupt? 29710 Why do n''t they pay that half? |
29710 | Why not? |

29710 | Will ye want any trimmings? |
29710 | _ How much_ are you sorry? |
29710 | _ Why_ are they well off, you ask? 29710 ''A man may not be loyal and yet not be a traitor, for how can a man be a traitor to a foreign government?'' 29710 ''An''would I be settin''meself up to be bettherin''his larnin''?'' 29710 ''And would n''t that be only half the load for the poor baste?'' 29710 ''But suppose, instead of Finn- water it was purgatory I was in, and the priest said,I''ll pull ye out for five pounds,"what about him?'' |
29710 | ''Is it yerself would insinse me into the rudiments o''polite larnin''?'' |
29710 | ''Michael Hegarty,''says I,''where did ye scour up yer thievin''set o''rag- heaps?'' |
29710 | ''Shall we from the Union sever? |
29710 | ''Sure,''says Barney,''ye would n''t have a cock- eyed load on the baste, all swingin''on one side, like a pig wid one ear, would ye?'' |
29710 | ''Tis Englishmen I like, bedad it is; the grandest, foinest, greatest counthry in the wuruld, begorra it is-- an''why not?" |
29710 | ''What civil rights are they deprived of?'' |
29710 | ''What could I do?'' |
29710 | ''What thin?'' |
29710 | ''What will you give with her?'' |
29710 | ''What''s the matter?'' |
29710 | ''Where will you get an auctioneer, and who will bid? |

29710 | 5.--Has Mr. Morley Lied? |
29710 | A fluent politician said,"Why are all the Protestants Unionists? |
29710 | A heaven- born statesman? |
29710 | A run on the Post Office Savings Bank threatens to clear out every penny of Irish money, and why? |
29710 | About separation? |
29710 | Ah, thin, why did ye die?" |

29710 | An equally intelligent Unionist, who bore a Scottish name, said:--"Does it suit England to throw us overboard? |
29710 | An''could n''t we starve thim out? |
29710 | An''could ye say why them murdherin''Land Leaguers in Parliament was n''t hung up, the rampagious ruffians?" |

29710 | And Father Humphreys( if he knew the words) might truly say_ Cui bono_? |
29710 | And are not these men in the hands of the priests? |
29710 | And have you noticed the everlastingly outstretched hands which meet you at every corner? |
29710 | And if such a thing be done in the green tree what will be done in the dry? |
29710 | And if the premonitory symptoms be thus severe, how shall we doctor the disease itself? |
29710 | And once an Irish Parliament is granted, how will he resist the demand for Irish independence, for the Irish Republic affiliated with America? |
29710 | And so they seem to forget the days when_ they_ were felons? |
29710 | And that''s the way of it, d''ye mind me?''" |
29710 | And the venal English press which conceals the fact, what shall be said of it? |
29710 | And what was the remark made by that follower of Jesus Christ? |
29710 | And what would I say when his mother turned round and said,''Ye have the land, have n''t ye, William?'' |
29710 | And when I saw the lad''s dead face, what would I think? |
29710 | And where will they get it from? |
29710 | And who shall estimate the heart''s pure feelings? |
29710 | And whom have Government found their bitterest enemies? |
29710 | And why do not the clergy undeceive them? |
29710 | And why not? |
29710 | And why? |
29710 | And why? |
29710 | And yet if mere numbers must decide, if the counting of heads is to make things right or wrong, why not let the people decide these distinctions? |
29710 | Another Catholic living near, said:"''How would Home Rule work?'' |
29710 | Another person standing by said,"What happened at Galbally, near Tipperary? |
29710 | Answer me this:--Did you, did anybody, ever know Gladstone to give a straightforward answer to any one question? |
29710 | Are Englishmen acquainted with the history of Papal Rome? |
29710 | Are Englishmen unacquainted with the traditional hatred of the Irish malcontents? |
29710 | Are Englishmen willing to be longer fooled by a Government of nincompoops? |
29710 | Are these men all infatuated? |
29710 | Are these men not hand and glove with the clerical party, which hates England as heretic and excommunicate? |
29710 | Are these people fit to govern themselves? |
29710 | Are they all liars? |
29710 | Are they disloyal to England? |
29710 | Are they in a position to know the facts? |
29710 | Are they men to be trusted with the affairs of State? |
29710 | Are they not our own kith and kin? |
29710 | Are we such dastards as to give up that for which they shed their blood? |
29710 | Are we to put our necks under the heels of a Parliament worked by Bishop Walsh of Dublin? |
29710 | Are we to stand quietly aside and see the destinies of decent people entrusted to the leaders of a movement which owes its success to such supporters? |
29710 | Are you any nearer success now than ever you were? |
29710 | Are you going to put into the hands of your enemies the power to ruin you merely by biding their time?" |
29710 | Arguments, quotha? |
29710 | Away ye go, me little duck, me daughter, me beauty, me-- bad luck to ye,_ will_ ye go? |
29710 | Beggary, lying, dirt, and laziness invariably accompany priestly rule, and are never seen in Ireland in conjunction with Protestantism? |
29710 | Better price than the pollock? |
29710 | Boldly- printed mottoes in scarlet and white, such as"Quis Separabit?" |
29710 | Bull concludes to let the dunghill folks, powerful lazy beggars they seem, come top- sawyer over the fellows that built a place like this, eh?" |
29710 | But after that? |
29710 | But do you think I''d trust my property with either of the two Tims? |
29710 | But how many are there? |
29710 | But how shall we decide the scope and character of such a final Land Bill? |
29710 | But how were the people to be taught the management of large boats, and the kind of nets that were used? |
29710 | But is n''t that nonsense, says I? |
29710 | But is their teaching designed or calculated to suit England? |
29710 | But it may be objected-- If Irishmen have no respect for their members, why did they elect them? |
29710 | But one of''em cocks up his nose, an''he says,''We''re like a character in the Bible, are we? |
29710 | But pass the bill and what happens? |
29710 | But they have quite ceased to buy, and for the stipulated three years will pay their rent as usual, and why? |
29710 | But what are the Belfast men doing? |
29710 | But what are they among so many? |
29710 | But what do the Irish think of them? |
29710 | But what is the truth of the matter? |
29710 | But what is the truth? |
29710 | But what of the new Irish Cardinal, Archbishop Logue, of Armagh? |
29710 | But when did Irishmen act on the lines of Englishmen or Scotchmen? |
29710 | But where is the money to come from to purchase land? |
29710 | But where is the strong hand? |
29710 | But where was the great meeting? |
29710 | But which of the Nationalist members could do that? |
29710 | But whin they shot Tim, to kape his mouth shut, why would n''t they shoot the woman?" |
29710 | But whin ye come to look into it, why would n''t we be justified in usin''dynamite? |
29710 | But who tells them this? |
29710 | But why curse and blaspheme the landlords for what was in many cases their own deliberate act?" |
29710 | But why curse the landlords for what was their own deliberate act?" |
29710 | But why waste so much time?" |
29710 | But why? |
29710 | But with steady rule one day, and vacillation, wobbling, and surrender the next, what can you expect? |
29710 | But would n''t the poor man have to leave it, or die of starvation? |
29710 | But would you have Ireland alone to reckon with? |
29710 | By the confession of his own followers, all his previous legislation for Ireland has been a failure, for if it be not so, why the present measure? |
29710 | Ca n''t you get Gilbert to do a Home Rule opera comique? |
29710 | Can all the English magistrates spell''adjourned''? |
29710 | Can anybody in England"go one better"than this? |
29710 | Can anybody say anything against such sentiments? |
29710 | Can anybody tell me that?" |
29710 | Can anything be more unreasonable or more unlikely? |
29710 | Can not Englishmen reckon up the Home Rule agitation from such facts as these, the accuracy of which is easily ascertainable by anybody? |
29710 | Can not Gladstonians read the records? |
29710 | Can not the English people see through these nimble twisters and time- servers, this crowd of lay Vicars of Bray?" |
29710 | Can not the English see that it is urged by a set of thieves and traitors? |
29710 | Can not they see that brains and property are everywhere against it? |
29710 | Can the English Gladstonians get away from the suggestiveness of this fact? |
29710 | Can they not diagnose the progress of the disease? |
29710 | Can they point out a single instance in which we have the upper hand, or state anything in which we as Protestants have any advantage whatever? |
29710 | Can we ate it, can we dhrink it, can we shmoke it? |
29710 | Can you depend on the loyalty of the Catholic priesthood? |
29710 | Chamberlain showed him up, but why stop at one quotation? |
29710 | Could anybody be more stupid, more totally incapable of giving a valid reason for his action than your vaunted British workman? |
29710 | Could anything be more unreasonable? |
29710 | Could he get votes of supply without their aid? |
29710 | Could n''t we cut off their provisions? |
29710 | Could not something be done for these deserving men? |
29710 | D''ye hear what that owld woman''s singing?" |
29710 | D''ye mind the iligant property he has outside Dublin? |
29710 | D''ye see me now?" |
29710 | D''ye take me for a fool?" |
29710 | Did he ever say anything stronger than this? |
29710 | Did n''t he say that''the small loaf was the finest recruiting sergeant in the wuruld?'' |
29710 | Did n''t one o''their great spakers get up in Parlimint an''say we must be kept paupers? |

29710 | Do the Tuamites deny that"many of the streets are wretchedly built,"and"the Galway road shows how easily the Catholic poor are satisfied?" |
29710 | Do they deny the scenes of persecution I described as having taken place in former days? |
29710 | Do they not know the aspirations of the Catholic clergy, and are they ignorant of their immense influence with the masses? |
29710 | Do they say their prayers to the Grand Old Man?" |

29710 | Do you think such men as Tim Harrington and Tim Healy are fit to be trusted with the spending of 2- 1/2 millions of money per annum? |
29710 | Do you think that a people powerfully influenced, supremely influenced, by the word of a priest are fit to govern themselves? |
29710 | Do you think that reconquest would settle the Irish question? |
29710 | Does anybody know? |
29710 | Does he mean 50,000 Irishmen? |
29710 | Does it look genuine? |
29710 | Does that look honest? |
29710 | Does this fact impress the usefulness of Balfour''s railways? |
29710 | Does this give earnest of final settlement, of unbroken peace and contentment, of eternal fraternity and friendship? |
29710 | Does this look like the fear of civil war? |
29710 | Does this sound like the Union of Hearts? |
29710 | Five weeks only? |
29710 | For if the English Parliament have the power to veto our wishes, where''s the difference? |
29710 | For what are a handful of reasonable men against a crowd of blackguards with big sticks?" |
29710 | For what? |
29710 | For why, beloved brethren? |
29710 | Give it up? |
29710 | Give it up? |
29710 | Go outside the manufacturing towns and what do you see? |
29710 | Had I a sheriff''s order,& c.,& c.,& c.? |
29710 | Have I not a noble soul? |
29710 | Have n''t I done my best? |
29710 | Have n''t I kept my promise? |
29710 | Have n''t we a right to do as_ we_ choose in Ireland? |
29710 | Have they adequate knowledge of the subtlety, the craft, the dissimulation, the foresight of this most wonderful religious system? |
29710 | Have they got any wrinkles? |
29710 | Have they not precisely the same freedom as that enjoyed by England, the freest country in the world? |
29710 | Have they not religious equality, free trade, a free press, and vote by ballot? |
29710 | Have they not the same laws, except where those laws have been relaxed in favour of Ireland? |
29710 | Have we not their example before us? |
29710 | Have ye that, now?" |
29710 | Have you been in Ennis? |
29710 | Have you heard any Irishman speak well of Gladstone? |
29710 | Have you met a decent Home Ruler who trusts the present men? |
29710 | Have you noticed the appalling mendicancy of Ireland? |
29710 | Have you reflected on the''high spirit''of the Irish people? |
29710 | Have you remembered their pride, their repugnance to the Saxon? |
29710 | Have you satisfied Irishmen yet? |
29710 | He notes the stranger, and politely says,"Can I be of any use? |
29710 | He remonstrates, and they say,''What business have you here? |
29710 | He said:--"Have Englishmen forgotten the previous history of the men she is now on the point of entrusting with her future? |
29710 | He said:--"They say the farmer is to get the land-- but what then? |
29710 | His friends simply said,''Ah, now, let the Boy go on wid the conthract; shure, is n''t he the dacent Boy altogether? |
29710 | How are we to begin? |
29710 | How are ye, Union iv Hearts?" |
29710 | How are you going to collect the two or three millions of Ireland''s share in Imperial expenditure without any force at all? |
29710 | How can Englishmen stand such a hollow humbug? |
29710 | How can I do so, when I myself was just as ignorant? |
29710 | How can we launch out into industrial enterprises? |
29710 | How can we settle down to work? |
29710 | How can you expect tolerance from a church the very essence of whose doctrine is intolerance? |
29710 | How did all this come about? |
29710 | How did the Items get into Parliament at all? |
29710 | How does this promise for the peace that is to follow this great measure of"Justice"to Ireland? |
29710 | How does this promise for the working of an Irish Parliament? |
29710 | How far have you succeeded in pacifying Ireland? |
29710 | How far shall I go back, Father Tom?" |
29710 | How is England to learn the precise state of things? |
29710 | How is it that all Protestants are well off, and make no complaint? |
29710 | How is it that most of the leading merchants are Protestants? |
29710 | How is it that their children never run barefoot? |
29710 | How is it that their families are well educated, that their dwellings are clean, and that they pay their way? |
29710 | How is that? |
29710 | How is this? |
29710 | How long are the English people going to stand this Morley- Gladstone management? |
29710 | How long in the country? |
29710 | How many Englishmen would have stood it? |
29710 | How many Irish members can make this their boast? |
29710 | How many of them could get tick in London for a new rig- out? |
29710 | How many people does the Tuam Town Hall hold? |
29710 | How much has your daughter? |
29710 | How much money has your son? |
29710 | How must we class the following case? |
29710 | How will it put a penny in yer pockets, an''what would ye get by it that ye ca n''t get widout it?" |
29710 | How will they be better off? |
29710 | How would I be among the mountains here? |
29710 | How would they ondhersthand at all? |
29710 | How would you collect the interest on the eighteen or twenty millions Ireland now owes? |
29710 | How''s that for tolerance? |
29710 | How? |
29710 | I ask myself where is the English commonsense of which we have heard so much in Germany? |
29710 | I heerd there was talk o''shootin''me from the back iv a ditch; an''that one said,''But av ye missed?'' |
29710 | I knew that pinky cheek, I knew that bright blue eye; yet here, in the wilds of Galway who could it be? |
29710 | If Home Rule becomes law those special grants from the Imperial Treasury will be no longer available; and what will be the result? |
29710 | If I go into a whiskey shop on a market day, what do I hear? |
29710 | If Ireland is to be governed from England, if we are to have any interference, what betther off will we be? |
29710 | If Irish Separatists talk like this, what do Irish Unionists say? |
29710 | If the Boys wanted to shoot the Colonel what''s to hinder them? |
29710 | If they flog us now with whips, wo n''t they flog us then with scorpions?" |
29710 | If they object to Home Rule, why did they vote for it? |
29710 | If they pay their rents, where do they get the money? |
29710 | If we can get on without Home Rule, why ca n''t they get on without Home Rule? |
29710 | If we can thrive, why ca n''t they thrive? |
29710 | If we''re not to govern the counthry in every way that_ we_ think best, why on earth would we want a Parlimint at all? |
29710 | If ye look properly at the thing, why would n''t we use dynamite? |
29710 | In what way? |
29710 | Ingenious, is n''t it? |
29710 | Is England governed by Englishmen? |
29710 | Is Irish sentiment to be again disappointed for a paltry six thousand pounds? |
29710 | Is it friendly to England? |
29710 | Is it not sweeter also than honey or the honeycomb? |
29710 | Is it sufficiently symptomatic? |
29710 | Is it to assist England? |
29710 | Is n''t that true? |
29710 | Is not England for the Irish, America, Australia, New Zealand? |
29710 | Is not soap an enemy to the faith? |
29710 | Is not the goodwill of the foinest pisintry in the wuruld more to be desired than much fine gold? |
29710 | Is not the time for soft speaking nearly over? |
29710 | Is not the whole system of Popery based on intolerance, on infallibility, on strict exclusiveness? |
29710 | Is not this big print enough? |
29710 | Is that new to you? |
29710 | Is that thrue, now? |
29710 | Is the Sisyphean stone of Home Rule, so laboriously rolled uphill, to again roll down, crushing in its fall the faithful rollers? |
29710 | Is the as- you- were assertion an argument? |
29710 | Is the hope that the ignorant peasantry of Ireland will return"the better class of men,"who"do not believe in Home Rule"an argument? |
29710 | Is their want of energy due to breed, to religion, or to both? |
29710 | Is there any class or trading interest which would be by working men entrusted with such enormous power? |
29710 | Is there no antidote to this poison? |
29710 | Is there no means of enlightenment available? |
29710 | Is this opinion not well worth consideration? |
29710 | Is this the class of men you wish to set over us as governors?" |
29710 | It is? |
29710 | Look at Gladstone, have ye anybody to come up to him? |
29710 | Loyalty to England? |
29710 | Loyalty? |
29710 | More distress? |
29710 | Morley?" |
29710 | Mr. Gladstone? |
29710 | No difference there, their object is one and the same, and when the priests and the farmers unite, who can compel them to pay up? |
29710 | No doubt Lord Houghton''s first impulse would be to exclaim,"Then why on earth do n''t you use your advantages? |
29710 | No? |
29710 | Now, how is that? |
29710 | Now, were not the Irish loyal when the English people disloyally favoured their Oliver Cromwell and their William the Third?" |
29710 | On the other hand, does not appetite grow with what it feeds on? |
29710 | Or be hung in a blaze with a hook in your backs, Till you all melt away like a cake of bees''-wax? |
29710 | Otherwise, why ask for a Parliament? |
29710 | Ought not the Irish people to be masters of Ireland? |
29710 | Ought such people to have the franchise? |
29710 | Patriots are they? |
29710 | Perhaps ye have Gladstonian life- assurance offices in England? |
29710 | Presently you will see the bearing of all this on your question-- Why do not the best Catholics come forward and speak against Home Rule? |
29710 | Query-- if a given number of murders were required to bring about Home Rule, how many murders will be required to effect complete separation? |
29710 | RENTS, the Ponsonby, 50; rack renting, 100; quite low enough, 143; what rack rent means, 190; land must be worth something, 228; to whom is rent due? |
29710 | REPUBLIC, An Irish, 162; could we reconquer? |
29710 | Saith not the wisest of men that a good report maketh the bones fat? |
29710 | See that hill there? |
29710 | Shall the sons be unworthy of the sires? |
29710 | Shall we bow down to Popery? |
29710 | Shall we truckle to Rome, shall we become slaves to Popish knaves, shall we become subservient to priestcraft and lying and roguery and trickery? |
29710 | Since the bill became public and has been the subject of popular discussion, I brought out the Ballinrobe and Claremorris Railway-- with what result? |
29710 | Sind_ me_ to Parlimint, till I get within whisperin''distance of Misther Gladstone-- within whisperin''distance, d''ye mind me? |
29710 | So I got to know this, an''iver afther, whin they would be sayin''to me,"''Which is the best hotel in Ennis?'' |
29710 | Suppose we want £ 500 for some improvement, who will lend us the money? |
29710 | Suppose you gave Ireland Home Rule, and the Church turned rusty? |
29710 | Supposed they groaned under conscription like France and Germany, what then? |
29710 | Sure''tis the English Government, an''what would it be else? |
29710 | Sure, how would we do as we liked, wid an army of them fellows agin us? |
29710 | Sure, the counthry wo n''t be able to do widout loans, an''who''ll lind ye money wid an Irish Parlimint?" |
29710 | Surely the Gladstonian English admit that? |
29710 | TOLERATION, would Catholics show? |
29710 | That''s the inscription, and what does it mean? |
29710 | The British Grenadiers would then come in, and where would be the Union of Hearts? |
29710 | The Chairman wanted to know why the Yankees did not call the ugly brutes after Lord Salisbury and Colonel Saunderson? |
29710 | The English Parliament, hoping to win over the farmers, who are the strength of Ireland, has made one concession after another, with what result? |
29710 | The brutal Saxon with his ding- dong persistency may be making money, but how about his future interests? |
29710 | The colleagues whom he had assorted at the same boards, stared at each other, and were obliged to ask,''Sir, your name?'' |
29710 | The helmsman is under their orders-- will he be heaved overboard before he has done his work? |
29710 | The injustice of an Irish rent largely depends on the question, To whom is it due? |
29710 | The most commonplace observation evokes a"D''ye see that, now?" |
29710 | The murtherin'', sweatin''landlords that''ll grind the very soul out of ye-- who are they? |
29710 | The only question was, would they clear out peaceably, or would it be necessary to call in the aid of the Irish Army of Independence? |
29710 | The pledges of Dillon and Davitt-- what are they worth? |
29710 | The small farmers thinks they''ll have the land for nothin'', but what about the labourers? |
29710 | The_ Independent_ says,''When Ireland next fights England she will not fight alone?'' |
29710 | Their politics? |
29710 | Then looking at the gambler''s black and polished feet, he said:--"Tell me, now, honey, is it Day an''Martin''s ye use?" |
29710 | Then what hope is there of friendship in a Home Rule Bill which will infinitely increase the number of points of dispute? |
29710 | Then why are the Limerick Catholics loyal? |
29710 | Then why not take their advice? |
29710 | Then why send them to Parliament, say you? |
29710 | Then, whatever debts Ireland might incur England would have to pay, should Ireland repudiate them? |
29710 | Then, why rouse more enmity? |
29710 | There was iron at Ballyshannon, but what was the good? |
29710 | These fellows ca n''t agree for five minutes together, and their principal subject of quarrel is-- Who shall be master? |
29710 | They asked what would they do else, and what did he take them for? |
29710 | They bate his servants next, an''said Will ye join? |
29710 | They fought the thing out; but where was the good? |
29710 | They have sent out lecturers and instructors, they have planted patches and grown the stuff, and shown the pecuniary results, and with what effect? |
29710 | They never had no meetin''s; why? |
29710 | They sent him terrible letthers wid skulls an''guns, an''coffins, an''they said Will ye join? |
29710 | They smashed ivery pane o''glass in his house, an''they said Will ye join? |
29710 | They talk about Home Rule, but what good will that do us? |
29710 | They threw explosives into the house, an''said Will ye join? |
29710 | They turn round angrily and say,''Was n''t it good enough for my father, an''was n''t he a betther man than ayther me or you?'' |
29710 | They will leave the land, I suppose? |
29710 | This promises well for the success of the Home Rule Bill; but why is the thing"impossible"? |
29710 | To how many of them would Gladstone lend a sovereign? |
29710 | To shoot sparrows? |
29710 | Turning to me, the bearded man said,"Did ye ever hear the pome about Saint Patrick''s birthday?" |
29710 | Vote against him? |
29710 | Was n''t I born among yez? |
29710 | Was n''t I rared among yez? |
29710 | Was n''t that hard lines? |
29710 | Was not the disestablishment of the Church to remove all cause of discontent? |
29710 | Was there ever a free and prosperous country where the Roman Catholic religion was predominant?" |
29710 | We may have iron, but what''s the good when we have no coal to smelt it? |
29710 | Well,''he says,''who was he?'' |
29710 | What Englishman would have done as much for his grandmother? |
29710 | What are Englishmen going to do? |
29710 | What are they to- day? |
29710 | What are ye standin''there for? |

29710 | What can the poor folks do? |
29710 | What can you say for them after that?" |
29710 | What could they do? |

29710 | What could we do? |
29710 | What d''ye take me for? |

29710 | What do you see? |
29710 | What do you suppose the men who join it think it means? |
29710 | What do you think?" |
29710 | What does O''Connor mean by the 100,000 Irish arms? |
29710 | What does it mane at all, at all? |
29710 | What does it mane, at all, at all? |

29710 | What is it? |
29710 | What is the effect on England? |
29710 | What is the unhappy man to do? |
29710 | What kind of Government would be possible under six or seven factions?" |
29710 | What makes he here? |
29710 | What more natural? |
29710 | What more natural? |
29710 | What praymium would they want for the life of a Bodyke man that paid his rint to the Colonel?" |
29710 | What reason for believing this? |
29710 | What reduction on that sum would do them any real good?" |
29710 | What right, moral or legal, have these Colquhouns, these Galbraiths, these Andersons, to Irish soil? |
29710 | What shall I do if Home Rule becomes law? |
29710 | What stops them? |
29710 | What then? |

29710 | When I saw the curiously- selected years, I said, why 1861, 1877, and 1891? |
29710 | When the Archbishop produces no effect, what''s the good of a plain layman''s cursing? |
29710 | When the big farms is all done away who''ll employ the labourers? |
29710 | When the great Bill impends, why flee the festive scene? |
29710 | When the last trump shall sound and the dead shall be raised, where will be the workers on saints''days? |
