that prison graveyard, under the lock and
key of traitors, and closed against the only
body of people in the Irish nation who can
with truth and sincerity commemorate the
sacrifice made there—the Republicans—has
been violated by the ceremonies of men who
turned against the principles of Pearse,
Connolly, McDonagh and the others. What
shame and humiliation’ these ‘ Free Sta-
who entered the locked doors must.
have suffered- in their hearts; what com-
sciousness of guilt and disgrace they must
have experienced, every one of them, know-
ing well that they had no right to pay
tribute to those whose followers and com-
rades they have killed and whose faith they
have renounced.
Meanwhile Republicans deprived of tae
tribute which they only could rightfully bey
at the graveside of the 1916 men, mourned
throughout the country with reverence aad”
incerity the loss of their leaders in 1916
and of ‘their other comrades in Ireland’s
cause.

THE PRISONBRS.
‘A very serious situation is developing
im Hare Park as well as in Sligo and
Waterford jails, due to an attempt on the
part of the Free State authorities to im-
pose criminal status on the - sentenced
Republican prisoners. Parcels have’ been
stopped and the men are locked up ut
@ p.m. just as the long evenings are
beginning... We shall hear more of this.
