If rifle-levers ever click in rebellion against a Home Rule government, duly established by statute under the authority of the Crown, it will be astonishing to find that every bullet in Ireland is a member of an Orange Lodge.

If "Ulster" repudiates the arbitrament of reason, and the verdict of a free ballot, she simply puts herself outside the law.

And she may be quite assured that the law, driven back on its ultimate sanction of force, will very sharply and very amply vindicate itself.
But it is not courteous to the reader to detain him among such unrealities as Sir Edward Carson's Civil War.

Treason, that is to say platform treason, is not so much an eccentricity as a habit of Orangeism.

It is a way they have in the Lodges, and their past history supplies a corrective to their present outburst.
