The forecast of interested observers seems likely to be fulfilled (and the Balfour government wrecked on the rocks of Irish home rule and the fiscal-question. fiscal-question. On March 1, the government escaped defeat on the amendment presented pre-sented by Mr. A. J. C. Donelan, M. P., regretting that the speech from the throne promised no amelioration for the condition of laborers in Ireland, by the narrow margin of forty-four votes. It is true that Mr. Atkinson, attorney-general attorney-general for Ireland, declared the government's gov-ernment's readiness to expedite the erection of laborers cottages, if only it could procure the necessary money at a cheap rate. But this only brought out John Redmond, M. P., in p. denunciation denun-ciation of the financial impotence of a supposed powerful government in face of so pressing a reform. Later, the government's majority fell to twenty-six. on a minor amendment to the vote for the additional army estimates, es-timates, and the result was greeted with cries of "Resign! Resign!" Mr. Chamberlain is doing his best-to force dissolution; and Chief Secretary Wyndham has rtsigned, realizing, no doubt, that the exposure of his treacherous treach-erous dealing with Sir Antony Mac-j Donnell has made his position untenable. unten-able. Meantime, there is evidence of the growing conviction even in the camp of the enemy, that Ireland must be placated to some extent alike on home rule and the question of university education. ed-ucation. Lord Dunraven still continues contin-ues to explain "the devolution scheme of the Iris-h Reform association to large audiences, alike in Dublin and Belfast, denouncing the present fashion of government gov-ernment as vigorously as John Redmond Red-mond might. Elsewhere, we give in brief, the offer of Sir John Nutting to provide a num ber of scholarships for Catholic students stu-dents successful in the senior grade intermediate in-termediate examinations, in . Trinity college, and the indignant refusal of this offer by the bishops. of Ireland, who'see in It, aS.one of them has paid, only a specimen of "sublimated souper-ism." souper-ism." So it is always in Ireland's affairs. She asks home rule, without which; as even the conservative Dr. O'Dwyer, bishop of Limerick, says, prosperity is Impossible. A devolution scheme is held outas a remote possibility, if the Orangemen don't make too much fuss i about it. She asks for her own uni- , versity, and somebody proposes a plan by which a few Irish youth can get the benefit of a small part of the educational educa-tional taxation of Catholic Ireland, at imminent risk to their religion: and yet. there are dwellers in the self-gov- erned. colonies of England, who resent Ireland's unrest and. take the Pilot to tak-because It stands against.:.-the .veaknesB, deceitfulness" and unreason of the Eritis-h. government of. Ireland! Of course, there are waygyof giving' Catholic higher education to Ireland, while utilizing the existing mechanism, so -to speak. Saysthe Irish Catholic: . 3t js. true that Catholics ha not' committed themselves to the rejpetion of any proposal having for its object the establishment of a second college ' and of a Catholic school of Divinity within the University of Dublin, but a broad distinction must be drawn between be-tween the university and Trinity college. col-lege. We do not say that under no conceivable circumstances could the college be made acceptable to Catholics,' because it is comparatively easy to suggist reforms which would largely tend to secure this result. We could, for instance, approve the action of the board if it availed of the munificence of Sir John G. Nutting to offer Catholic Catho-lic students an independent hall of residence, with a Catholic dean, and made adeo.uate provision for satisfying satisfy-ing Catholic needs in connection with tho teaching of history and moral philosophy. phi-losophy. It must be obvious, however, that what is now proposed is simply in the nature of an effort to induce poor Catholic students to flock into an unreformed and unchanged Trinity" college, col-lege, in which five years hence Catholics Catho-lics might be offered a place of worship wor-ship of their own. if there were enough of them in residence to make its erection erec-tion necessary, and if the archbishop of Dublin could be induced to- consecrate conse-crate it and appoint a chaplain. Meantime, Mean-time, however, the existing educational system of the college was to remain unaltered, un-altered, and we were to witness the apotheosis of mixed education! . The declaration of the bishops has, how ever, put an end to all danger that any such scandal will be created with the acquiescence acqui-escence of the Catholics of Ireland. I An esteemed correspondent of the Pi-! Pi-! lot. Professor "W. P. F. Stockley. also shows what Trinity is willing to do for the Catholics, and what the Catholics might do for Trinity, if they would but flock in numerously enough to get control con-trol of the board of government, and make the college representative of a nation more than three-fourths Catholic. Catho-lic. Professor Stockley has elaborated this idea in two interesting articles In the Dolphin for February and March. John Dillon. M. P., regards the overtures over-tures of Trinity as born of fear. It re alizes that it must suffer from the persistent per-sistent demands of Catholics for a share of the money too long monopolized by Elizabeth's foundation, and for their full rights in the matter of higher education. ed-ucation. The strong stand of the Irish bishops will not discourage it. On the contrary. It will suggest the wisdom of further and more radical capitulations, and the transformed Trinity college which Professor Stockley thinks possible possi-ble may come. In the meantime, both as to self-government and Catholic higher education, Ireland wants no gold bricks, but the full satisfaction of her just demands. The Pilot. |
