MARCONI AND LARKIN.
[To TRR EDITOR 07 TIM " SPRCTATOR."]
SIR,—You will doubtless recollect that cheerful if some- what puzzled-beaded local French mayor whose report to the Convention, a short time before the Terror began, Carlyle has rescued from oblivion, " All goes well here; we have no bread." As a good Radical and Home Ruler I am in somewhat similar view disposed to say, " All goes well; we are being beaten all along the line." Two words, Sir, explain it all—Marconi and Larkin; there is no third, and the end of the wholesome discipline is not yet: It even looks as if Mr. Asquith will have his opportunity presently, and then the question will be not who is to be punished, but who is to be applauded. It may be, of course, that Sir Edward and his methods—and this is the concrete Irish question now—have won the confidence and hearts of England, but before accept- ing this you had better really wait and see. I assure you, Sir, I am doing so with perfect confidence.—I am, Sir, &c.,
W. FLETCHER.
