THE HOME RULE QUESTION.
[To Tao EDITOR or nix "STRCTITOR."1 SIR,—As a regular reader of your articles, I think I cannot be wrong in saying that you have specifically accepted Home Rule for Ireland plus the unconditional exclusion of Ulster as an alternative preferable only to civil war. The coercion of Ulster having now proved impracticable, and the danger of civil war being consequently at an end, may I venture to hope that those who regard a separate Parliament and Execu- tive for Ireland as a risk to the Empire of appalling magnitude can reckon upon the support of your influential pen to avert the recurrence of impending disaster P—I am, Sir,
EBUBY.
Moor Park, Rickmansworth.
[We are as convinced as ever that the Union is the only sound way of regulating the relations between the two islands. Rather, however, than run the risk of civil war, which we can- not admit has yet passed away, we would consent to an Exclusion compromise to which the Covenanters agree. Remember that though the risk of coercion is for the time in abeyance, we have not yet got rid of the present Government. They remain a peril to the nation.—En. Spectator.]
