THE ALTERNATIVE TO HOME-RULE.
[TO TIER EDITOR Or TRH " SPECTATOR.']
SIR,—The direct negative is most welcome, I am sure, to all Irish Unionists. But though a qualifying amendment to the second reading might too easily have been regarded as the substitution of one quack remedy for another, Liberal Unionists in both countries will share Sir H. Howorth's wish to emphasise the positive side of Unionist policy. Ireland requires nourishment more than physic, or even than stimu- lants. None recognises this more clearly than Mr. Balfour. It now only remains that the country—in both islands—should be made to recognise his recognition,—the practical proof he has already given of this recognition, and his determination fully to carry it out.—I am, Sir, Sze., Atheneum Club, _March 9th. MONTEAGLE.
