We had not space to notice in our last issue

a very interesting article on Canadian opinion and Home Rule which the Times of Friday week printed from its Canadian correspondent. The correspondent says that the traditional Canadian sympathy with Irish Nationalism is rapidly disappearing. Now that more is known of the conditions of Ireland there is no longer the old readiness to discover an easy analogy between Canadian self-government and the demand of the Irish Nationalists. Moreover, the seem indignatio of Irishmen in Canada, as in the United States, is not being continually reinforced, as it used to be, by fresh generations of Irish immigrants full of anti-British sentiments. The Irish immigrant of to-day has no devouring passion for Home Rule.
