This is the true relation of Home Rule.

As dependent Canada has no representatives in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, so neither would dependent Ireland have representatives in the Parliament of Great Britain.

I am unable to understand why this provision, which seemed so naturally to follow from the rest of the scheme, awakened so powerful an opposition among Mr.Gladstone's own supporters.

I believe the Irish have no wish to appear in the British Parliament.

They wish to manage their own affairs, and are ready to leave Great Britain to manage its own affairs and those of the "Empire" to boot.
