The Sun last night had an amusing article on the
Irish Railway Commission. " Ireland's best and most generous benefactors," the Sun protests, are the " Railway Commissioners ;" and the parties " who regulate their love for Ireland by the profits therefrom accruing," are " such one.sided patriots as Mr. Pierce Mahony and James Dwyer ;" who are also termed the " Punch and Judy of every railway meeting convened by speculators." Does not the Sun know that Mr. Pierce Mahony is the fuctotum of " Ireland's best and most generous bene- factors," and Mr. Dwyer on the opposite side ? If he is unaware of this, our zealous contemporary rushes into the controversy with slen- der knowledge. Messrs. Mahony and Dwyer are not rowing in the same boat, but against each other. Let the Sun refer again to his brief.
