The Times severely criticises the
vagueness of Gladstone's remarks in
Parliament, last night, on the proposed
action of the government in rela-
ton to the bill for a reform land
system in Ireland; 1t does not be-
lieve there can be any reform so long
as the government fails to assert its
majesty of law; crime is still unpun-
ished in Ireland, disorder is ram
part. The government can never
pacify or control Ireland, or establish
a decided policy, until it asserts its
power.
The Times demands an adoption of
such policy without any delay.
A meeting of the Irish members is
to be held on Monday, for the pur-
pose of taking action In reference
to the Irish Land Bill, and the Lib
erals will endQaVor to ado an amend
ment to the Bill extending the sys-
tenn of the tenant rights of Ulster to
the whole of Ireland. A great many
Liberals, especially the Wings, will
resist this amendment. Irish Lib
erals do not feel satisfied with the ex-
plantations made In Parliament In
reference to the treatment of O'Dono-
Won Rosa, and fellow eonvicts. The
whole subject will speedily be brou ht
10 the attention of Parliament.
