Some twenty Irish members, generally of the extreme party, have
held a conference at Dublin, and have agreed to resolUtions affirming that the Established Church of Ireland ought to be abolished; that the Catholic University ought to be placed on a level with all others; that the denominational system of education should be applied to Ireland ; that Government should make grants for fisheries, harbours, and arterial drainage ; that Government should reform Irish railways (we believe this means taking them over), and that a bill should be prepared for securing tenant-right. With the exception of the demand for State help in cash, that is not an unfair programme by any means, and if it is one which Ireland approves, she has only to compel her representatives to vote steadily with the Liberal party, to carry the Reform Bill, and then to secure the rest.
