/ In the Commons. last night, the debate
one the Irish reform was resumed In COM
mittee of the Whole.
Mr.. Gregory, member for Galway, rose
in support of Maguires solutions and de-
nounced the long cohtinued English mis-
government of Ireland. OF this there
Irish people asked for reform in, lands, in
church and in educational systems, the
Ministers evaded their demands and offer
ed them other changes, which they did not
want. He denied that there were any per-
sons among the Roman Catholic clergy
who favored the present system of national
schools. 4eIT @sT F-FG e--.,--sl
Mr.. Gladstone, for the first time in this
debate, gave his views on the questions at
issue. He said the Irish tenants were
wanting in experience, and should be en-
couraged by every possible means in max
ing improvements on the farms. AS
to church establishments, it was the
duty of ministers of the crown
to mark. out and submit
definite plan for the treatment of that sub
ject, and meanwhile Parliament should
lose no time in declaring itself in favor of
religious equality in Ireland. He enter
tanned hopes that the ministry fully real
lied the gravity of the crisis. 1t was in
vain to rely upon time as cure for the
evil. Seven hundred years had thus been
wasted. s7est .zEsea s,r-,
The Irish inhabitants of Canada and
Australia were contented, and the great
reason for their content was that they pos
sessed the fruits OF their own labor, and
enjoyed civil and religious equality; but in
Ireland the discontent was, wide and
deep. The alleged material prosper
ity of Ireland was proof of this.
for Notwithstanding the improving
condition of the country, as describes by
some of the gentlemen who preceded bin,
no one seemed surprised that the people of
Ireland should complain at the same time
Of their misery. The crisis was grave one,
not only on account of the rapid depopula-
tion ofIreland by emigration, but on account
of the condition of those who remainedsin
the country. 1t was the imperative duty
OF the Government to give the question
early and earnest attention.
Mr.. Gladstone then proceeded to exam
inc, one by one, the measures of relief
which the Ministry had proposed for Ire
land. The only one he approved was that
for political reform. soa
