On Monday the House of Commons debated the epica. tion
of Irish University education. Mr. Dillon, who moved the Motion, was supported in a very able speech by the only Roman Catholic Unionist who sits for an Irish seat,—Mr. Martin Morris, the Member for Galway, and son of Lord Morris. Colonel Saunderson, who took up the irreconcilable Orange attitude, dilated upon the evil results of Roman Ctaholic education, and pointed to the eighty Nationalist Members to enforce his argument,—apparently quite oblivious of the fact that he was only undermining his own proposition. It would be reasonable enough, if not in very good taste, for an advo. oath of a Roman Catholic University to point to the Irish Members and to say, "Look at the results of not providing a form of University to which Irish Roman Catholics will send their sons." But to say "Look at them," and then argue that there must be no change in the conditions which produce the typical Nationalist Member is a preposterous error in logic.
