He thea defended the Government from the
charge OF ex'ravagance. He ad yocated the ex.
tension OF education, and favored the creation
OF department of public instruction, with a
cabinet Minister At its head. He insisted how.
ever, that neither compulsory educational
system nor the imposition Of II new tax for
educational purposes were in accordance with
me opinion OF the country. He th-n contrast.
edSthe foreign policy of the preceding with that
OF the present Ministry He said the relations
which now exist with foreign powers are those
OF confidence and sympathy. and all the disa.
greemeIts with the IIDiisd States are now re-.
moved. he concluded with discussion of
the irish question. The resolutions tor a dis.
establis hment OF the Irish Church, introduced
by the le2der Of the opposition, could not mitI.
gale the evils of Fepiansm. The proposed
diseStablishment was dangerous 20 the rights
