LONDON, March lin the House OF Commons
last night Mr.. Mcguire in moving that the House
60 into committee on the state Of Ireland said,
though Ireland was a part Of the empire, and |
was now peaceful, yet the personal liberty OF
every man in that country was at the mercy of
spies, policemen, or Government officials, and
this state OF things existed where the records OF
the courts showed there were few cases OF ordi-
nary crime.
He then quoted the statistics OF pauper emil |
grafton and other evils. The country, he de-
clsred, was decaying, and its people were In de- |
spair. Discomfort was q word inadequate to ex- |
press the state of feeling He denied the correct
ness OF the assertions made by Lord Moyo and |
Lord Kimberly that the farming class In Ireland
were loyal. The cruelty OF the past had made
deep impression upon the Irish people. The
laws In regard to the tenure Of land were defec-
tive and operated so disastrously that the means
Of a tenant which were good two years ago are
worthless now.
Ireland needed no commissions OF inquiry on
the established church. That church was not
suited to the majority Of the people, who dis
scented from it, What would the people of Eng
land do II DR.. Manning should lay claim and oc-
cupy the See OF Canterbury, Exeter Hall would
revolt, and the religious traces would join the
ranks Of the Fenians.
Mr.. Charles Neale, the member from Oxford
city, regretted that Mr.. Mcguire had offered no
| plan for the solution OF the question.
| After speeches from Mr.. Q. Darby Griffith, the
member for Devises, and Sir Frederic Heygate,
the member for Londonderry, Lord Clinton
moved the adoption by the House In committee
| Of a resolution In substance as follows: That
the discomfort Of Ireland Is a source OF uneasi-
ness to the empire and must be remediedj that
the laws Of Ireland should be framed to suit the
| people; that the present church, school and land
tenure system are unjust, and that In the opin-
ion Of this House these wrongs should be righted.
Mr.. o. Bierne, the member for Cashel, In the
course OF his remarks declared that the large
body OF the Irish sympathized with the Fenians.
He also replied at length to the attacks made
recently upon the people OF Ireland by Mr..
| Roebuck.
Earl Moyo, the Chief Secretary for ireland,
made a long and able speech. He admitted that
great discomfort prevailed in Ireland, but said
1t was exclusively nourished by the Irish In
America.
The Irish In Australia or Canada felt no dis
| content, and even In England was confined to the
lower classes only. There was no prominent
leader In ireland who was not aided or pushed
by friends In the United States. He repealed the
charges OF English mis.goyernment. The mem
bers of the present Government at Dublin were
nearly all Irishmen, and the police force was
composed entirely OF natives of the island. He
denied that ireland was governed for the advan-
tage Of England. Her wealth had been increased
within the last quarter of a century. English
capital was applied to the development OF her
resources and to the Improvement OF her eondi-
ton.
The rate OF wages was low, but It was improv-
ing. The consumption of spirits, which Is the
best test of u peoples material prosperity, was
increasing. There was nothing else which
would serve to indicate the prostitution and
decsy spoken of except positive decrease OF
crime. He advocated the maintenance Of the
present policy, but promised that a bill would
soon be introduced for the relief of tenants.
At the close Of Earl Mayo's speech the debate
was adjourned till Thursday.
