HOME RULE.
SHRAPNEL FOR ULSTER.
A London cablegram, dated July 31, states : “The Government is watching with undisguised anxiety the movements of Sir Edward Carson and his supporters, who, having finished their Parliamentary labours for the present season, have gone to Ulster to perfect the organisation of resistance to Home Rule. In dealing with a statemenl by the Earl of Clonmell that a little shrapnel would soon drive the Ulster crowd back, the Earl of Clanwilliam, speaking at Ballynabirich, said : ‘The first shot fired here by order of his Majesty’s Government against the loyal men and women of Ulster may light the torch of civil war, which will not be easily quenched. Civil war is very contagious. You cannot have civil war in Ulster without civil war in England. Those responsible will be very ill-advised if they consider that Ulster’s opposition can be dealt with in this manner. If civil war results, the Government and its supporters will be swept into an abyss of social and political infamy for committing an act which is the most atrocious conceivable, and which will stink in the nostrils of generations to
come.’ ’’
