Information has reached Galway that Brigadier Thomas Redington, College road, was shot dead near Longford. The deceased was an old.I.R.A. man, and served with distinction in the late Anglo-Irish war. He was a trusted lieutenant of Major -General Sean McKeon in the Longford area, and took part in the famous Ballinalee and other engagements in the comity. An Irregular intelligence officer has been captured in Cork.
National troops operating from their base at Moycullen raided the house of Mrs. Carthy, Moycullen, where poteen stills, in full working order. were found. The house of Edward Geraghty, near Moycullen, was raided, and another still was discovered, together with a barrel of malt ready for making poteen. The equipment and malt were destroyed in both cases, and the matter referred to the Civic Guards for prosecution. Mr. Kevin O'Higgins made the statement in Dail Eireann, in reply to a question re the payment of income tax gssessed in respect of periods before the signing of the Treaty, that all arrears of income tax and other taxes for whatever period charged formed part of Irish revenue, and none of these sums accrued to the benefit of the British Government.

Now if it is desirable that people should be compelled to buy Irish manufacture-and within certain limits we believe it is it is desirable that people should do so with their ordinary money resources. Why does not Mr. Johnson advocate the imposition of a ban on certain

We had formed a poor opinion of the political ability of Mr. Thomas Johnson, and his career so far in the Dail has confirmed our estimate. As we said some weeks back, he has a Utopia working in his head that works nowhere else. He is glib on the tongue. and he preaches a Utopia. two things that make for popularity amongst the

Arising out of a motion for a grant in respect of prisons in the Belfast Parliament, Dr. Morrison said he had only
heard from what took place in the House that their side had gunmen men who deliberately carried out the murder of Roman Catholics. If such men existed it was the duty of the Government to put a stop to it, and he would never raise his voice to have them protected. Mr. Donald said he had pointed out that the treatment meted out to prisoners in one part of Ireland was different to the treatment meted out in that part of Ireland. He complained of prisoners being kept months and months without a trial.

THE "'DUBLIN LEADER" ON CURRENT TOPICS. The main cause of abnormal unemployment in Ireland is the armed and destructive revolt against the baorstat. We have not the 4ightear. doubt about that in our own mind We believe that had the counsry worksi the Soarstat, had the leaders of opinion united in emphasising what Ireland had won and what were her possibilities by the exercise of her new powers. that Ireland would be a hive of industry and comparatively a very prosper. ous country in this month of October. The Revolt put everything 1922. back -enterprise, business, credit. And it seems puerile for people now to contend that the lack of employment caused in the main by the Revolt is the cause of the Revolt. We suspect that if Mr. Thomas Johnson was controlling head of an inde-
the Irish travelling and trading public are no parties, going out and hitting that public on the head as a move in their sectional game. Each section appears to be oblivious of any civic, national, or moral responsibility to the nation; the general people of the country don't count when any small section strips to fight. There is no civ:s spirit ,no national spirit. in that. Many of the Labour leaders. while all out against employers, are dumb to any suggestion that the workers should, by co-operative effort, become their own A big Labour class ofemployers. fensive naturally tends to tighten the class consciousness of the employees.

PROTESTANT'S PRELATE'S APPEAL. The Right Rev. Dr. R. Miller, preaching at a Harvest Thanksgiving Service in St. Mark's Church, Armagh, said that they iif the South had had great difficulties, but it was fitting to acknowledge that since the Southern Government had been established vigorous efforts had been made to give protection to their lives and properties. There was abundant evidence that they were succeeding, and although a considerable time might elapse before completely normal conditions were restored, there was no doubt as to the Government's intention and their keen desire for justice and religious liberty. It was not, therefore out of place to plead from the pulpit for prayers for peace and unity. Willing unity would come when it was prepared by an atmosphere of intercession and by consequent willingness to look at the same question from the point of view of Was it too those opposed to them. much to look forward to an Ireland who would a Government by controlled give the fullest civil and religious liberty to all its subjects and who, at the same time, would insist that the old denominational barriers should be broken down and Irishmen and Irishwomen should be brought up together in a wholesome Christian atmosphere? This could be attained. whilst at the same time maintaining the truest devotion to any particular branch of the Christian Church. "Dangers might arise from dwelling too much upon past events but yet on all sides, and he saw them clearly, there were indications that good men of all creeds were anxious to meet each other and to seek for mutual sympathy. That widespread spirit would surely have its effect upon life in our country."
IRELAND'S CREDIT. the "Leader" comments, expressed the view that the was not worth country credit of the twopence. Evidently the Government are not contemplating a loan or they would not be discounting their credit When the Minister for in that way. Home Affairs says. that the credit is not worth twopence, it would be hard to expect a Jew financier to advance it a hundred pounds on any exorbitant terms. Is it good policy or good Mr. O'Higgins,
business to officially run down the credit of the country in this sweeping Mr. O'lliggins said that the way? country was in such a condition the, every man who had a £5 note was sitting on it. Our reading of the country is rather that nearly everyone who has a £5 note is sending it over to English "bookies" on a fifty or hundred to one mug's chance, or in the alternative going to 1 alls and 'riposted theatres or taking mot,,r drives. On balance we think it would t z better for the country if Mr. O'Higgins' view was correct, but we do not think it is. It may be true, and perhaps that was what was in his mind, that every man who owed another man £5 was sitting on it. That would rather correspond with the experience of many business people in Ireland at present who cannot collect their accounts.
