HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
IRISH POLITICAL CLORS. THE THREATS OF CIVIL WAR^ ORANGEMEN AND UNIONISTS ORGANISING. Following Mr Asquith's recent Home Rule speech, attention is being focussed on the resuscitation of Ireland’s political clubs formed twenty years ago. It is estimated that- these, clubs now have a membership of 200,000 or 25,009 more than they had in 1893. The Orange bodies are co-operating with tlie .Irish- Unionist Associations, and! organisation is proceeding on up-to-date military lines with the object of making possible the mobilisation of every able-bodied Unionist within a few hours. Politcal circles outside Ulster do not regard seriously the threats of civil war, yet in the province itself the mtter is not treated as a joke, and! the Government is fully alive to the gravity of the situation. •
