TIE IRISH QCESTION-THE EDUCATION BILL.
IRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
fONDON, March l0.-Of the two great measures be-
fore Parliament the Irish Land and Education bills,
it is the Land bill which is farng best, both in the
House aud with the public. The two nights debate
Oh the second reading have proved the hopeessness
Of opposition to its principles, and very successful
criticism has yet been made upon any essential pro-
vision. | don't remember debate OH any great
measure that has been dull. There is generally
plenty Of fun in an Irish debate and this has natur
ally been extremely Irish, but the subject was TOO
large for the speakers or too solemn TO permit the
usual flow of Irish wit. There has even been but one
lrsh bull, though that was an uncommonly good
one, Captain Write remarking that he had gwen
the party unanimous support for four years. He
chose to spoil his joke by substituting uniform for
unanimous.
Mr. Bryan who moved the rejection of the bill-in
parliamentary phraseS" that it be read second time
this day six months"-is country member from Kill
kenny Nobody is less Of Fenan or nationalist.
He is a gentleman of large estate, county magls-
trate and an advanced Liberal. His opposition 10
the bill springs from hIs inability 10 believe that
il will prove an adequate settlement of the question.
His own remedy would be to extend the Ulster
Tenant Right over the whole country. Captain
White who seconded Mr. Bryans motion is also a
Liberal and represents that same County OF llpperay
for whose vacant seat O'DODOvan Rosa was chosen.
Therei similarity sympathy between the two,
Capt White being an aristocra by birth and profess
sion-by which mean that he Is Captain IN the
Scots Fusiliers Guards. He, too, speaks as pro
pietor and goes further than Mr. Bryan His belief
is that nothing but fxity Of tenure would content
the people of Ireland.
The number of men who will follow their lead III
Parliament is very small. but there can be no doubt
that their policy Of moving the rejection OF the Dill
instead of contenting themselves with attempts to
amend it in committee finds great support IN Ireland
Such motion is much more significant than any
thing elected in the debate which followed, and
which need not attempt TO summarize. since It's IN
fucnce on the fortunes of the bill. or on public
opinion will be very slight. The real work OF
amendment is 10 be done iii committee.
SO far as the Tories concerned they keep their
promise Of not Offering partisan opposition TO the
bill Indeed, they keep it SO well, both as to this
and the Education bills that it is difficult 10 discover
any particular reason for the continuance OF their
party organization Dr. Ball who was Mr.. Disraelrs
lrEh Attorney General, and a very able one
criticised the present bill sharply, but his speech was
moi party speech. Mr.. Ward Hunt and Mr.. Henley
are the only other prominent Tories who have thus
lar taken part m the debate. Mr.. Hunt prOfessed
sincerely enough / don't doubt, the desire OF the
Conservative party to aid in putting the bill into the
Hst shape. The truth is every day more plain that
ue Torres were surprised and delighted by the
moderation Of the bill. They have, accordingly. not
ue slightest wish TO prevent its passage, having at
a't learned that the defeat of moderate bill is
10 be speedily followed by the success of much
more radical.
