or action was simply Objectionable as n matter
OF tasf" and gentlemanly behavior and II ia
mndignihed to further interfere with them.
lhe Honse cannot teach manners IL Ia very
easy to swim with the current There ia NJ
thlng moro agreeable to some mon than to tAlix
III 'he presence or an approving auditory, and
20 otine down ready cheers for their declama-
ZION, but have very strong opinion that
several OF our parliamentary chiefs would have
SHOWN to more advantage by their eience than
tneir speech yesterday morning. Mr.. Forster,
Mr. Childers, and Sir William Harcourt lec-
tured the lrishmen in good set terms Thay
| ought to have had the sense to see that tbis
unnecessary talk had no effect. Mr.. Biggar
DID not care straw about Sir WitfiSu,
Iiarcourts opinion. suppose there are few
men IN the House who will not ackuoyledpe
| that the manners of Mr.. Parnell are auito
eqoai In point of gentlemanliness to the an
galniy and uncivii demeanor Of the membar
for Bradford. Mr.. Parneu and his col
lea nes feel that their hostility to the south
African Bill has been unnecessarily and I'M.
10 isirly censurea' think there il q great deal
In what they say. Mr.. ODounelI has evil
IDENTIFY thought out the question; and, not
"ithstaudng the disparAgiug remarks about
him 10 the newspapers, have been struck
with the sense aud knowledge he has thrown
into many of his short speeches on the su biect
l believe these Irish gentlemen are really and
honestly opposing bill which they conscen-
tiousIy object to. because think that thav
are wrong Is no reason why should condemn
them: Iney are hRhting within the lines of
the House Of Commons and they are acting in
H9 ,9enSIcany the same way towards this bill az
Mr. Gladstone and his friends did in opposing
tue Divorce Courts Bill several years aFo
which caused Parliament to sit into Septembee
The Tories over and over again during the
term OF office of the late government acted
similsriy when they voted against the Ballot
BIZ, the Army Purchase Bill, and certain Sec
lions OF the Educational Bill. They are doing
the same as the Liberals did last year at this
time when they resisted the measure Of Lord
Ssndon. If the IrIshmen are out of order LET
the rules of the House be put in force, and let
them be punished. IL they are In order, and
only exercising their legitimate functions thew
have surely 81 m1oh night to do 50 as other
parties have had when opposed to measures
If the Government for the time being. An
soon as the South African Bill was disposed OF,
'he consld GRAFTON of the East India Loan Bill
vas resumed. Mr.. O'DonnelI, who had beon
n the House and at work for upwards of
"enty -oae hours, at once commenced q discus-
Iou on the new measure, as cool and collect
dly as II he had just appeared upon the
Gene. He made hostile speech Of a quarter
i AN hour, but he did not put the House to
he trouble OF dividing. After that, the Irish
udlcature Bill was taken and Mr.. Parnell
nd Mr.. BiRgar, !" ho had long list of amend
lents To II, Fought them out with most Imper-
urbab!e temper. The transition from Sonth
irIca TO Ireland seemed quite natural, and
hey talked away about jnuRes ard legal pro-
rdure AZ gllbIy AS they had done about tho
JnfedeIafiOn of the colonies. Whatever
pinion may be entertained to the ability
the Irish IepTesen tatlves, there can be but
ne Judgment Paesrd upon their courage and
soIutiUn. They urtely Indifferent as to
