Both wounded offners are in a critical condition. making converts to the cause of home rule and keeping wavering Liberate from bolting from a policy eo which some of tbeir consntuouts aro opposed. While elle rank and file of the party are doing missionery work in the lobby the leaden John Redmond, is busy ex - plaiting home ride to the people of Eng- land, for the Nationaliets say that when the English people really know what Ireland demands, opposition to it will fade away. Mr. Redmond's campaign al- ready has extended from Scotland in the north to the extreme south of England. The Colonial Secretary, Mr, klarcoort, accompanied Mr. Redmond in the Mid - lauds and at other places ministers aud Liberal leaders have sat with him on the platform. Asked a few daya ago as to the pro. geese of the campaigu, Mr. Redmond, ne plied: "Ites going fine. I have had a very friendly reception everywhere. The audiences have shown their interest in the question by listening to my speeches." The press reports of the Meetinge re- cord. very few interruption§ of the Ir- ish leader. Of course, the Unionists and especial- ly tbe Ulster Unionists, who have de- clared, through their leader, Sir Edward 'Carson, that under 110 circumstances will they accept home rule, have an explana- tion of this, They say net Mr. Red - mood's frieudly reception is aceountee for by the faeb that he preaches a very different story in England froM that wide!' his followers urge in Amelia'. and Ireland. In 'England they say.the Na- tionalists' policy is painted a simple :lo- cal self government. with no idea of sep- aration from England, while in Ireland and in Canada, and the United States it Is home rule with absolute independ- ence, Neither Mr. Redinoud nor other sup- oorters of home rule have nutde any re-, feeence to the details of the proposed .bill in their speeehen Lafact, they have net even touched on the broad outline of the measure, which it; is generally known has been decided. upon. A com- mittee of the Cabinet is now working on the details. In all interview Mr. Red- mond said it was nItop.,,ether totnearly to talk of the bill itself, adding, "We are at :resent too busy trying to convert the people or England to the principle of home rule." To do this the Irish leader must in the first place convince Englishmennind particularly the non -conformist denom- ination, that under liome rule- theta wel , be no discrimination against the Trieh Proteetant, In all his speeches Mr. Red- mond has preseed this point. "If Peotestants are not satisfied with experiences of the past," he says, "they can have eafegnards placed in the bill itself." Mr. Reamond and other Irish mem- bers who are touring England liminess upon their audiences that what Ireland demands is not separation, but the right of managing her own local affairs in a subordinate Parliainent, subject to tbe supremacy of the imperial Parliament -- a demand that has never been made by any community of white men in the empire and eafesed-extept in 'the caee of Ireland. Local affaire are taken to mean laud, carnation, local goveamment, tanneit, labor, industries, taxation for local pur- poses. law and justice and police, leav- frig no the Imperial Parliament, the management of the army, navy, foreign relattione, customs, inwerial taxation and matters pertaining to the crown and colonies. As with the colonial the Imperial Parlianient would have the right of veto over the acts of the Irish legislature, power, however, which is seldom used so far as ihe self govern- ing colonies aro noneerned. The Nationaaists Ado not believe time; the financial arrangemente between England and Ireland present any seri- otts difficulties, In other quarters, however, this is beljaved to be the great diffieulty, a difficulty that Will re- quire all 'the ability of the finarnial perts of the Government to overcome.
