THE SUPPRESSION OF NEWSPAPERS IN IRELAND. [To THE EDITOR OF

THE "SPECTATOR."] see that Government has been suppressing Irish Nationalist and Sinn Fein newspapers because they published an advertisement or prospectus of the proposed Sinn Fein loan. Has Government no sense of humour ? Surely the more the impossible loan of an impossible Republic is published the better. Taking the thing seriously is silly, and has done a great deal of harm.—I am, Sir, &c., IRISH UNIONIST.
