IRELAND AND THE LAND BIZ.

lLI.BANil AND HE LAND BILL
no GRATITUDE FELT FOR TGG pHL-TAvoRABLE
ENGLISH OPINION.
LONDON, Aug. lin the House Of Commons to-
day, on a motion for going into supply, Mr.. Parnell
moved that the Coercion Act had nc! been admins
tered in accordance with the pledges which the NH
listers had gwen when they induced Parliament 10
suspend the constr tn ION and no declared that the
action of the Government in regard 20 coercion pre-
vented any gratitude for the Land bill.
1t was we'll known he said that but for the Land
League the whole strength of the House OF Commons
would have been unavaing to force tho Land bill
through the House of Lords. Tie thought the l1sh
people would be wise if they continued to
rely upon their own exertons winch had
procured them such an nstalment of just rights.
MesSrs LaOr, DAILY and other followed Mr. Parnell,
the principal point made by al the speakers being
that the power Of arrest under the Coercion Act had
been used to crush political agitation, and not
against the rufiians whom the Chief Secretary for
Ireland Mr. Forster, denounced his speech intro
dueing the Coercion bill.
Mr.. William Johnson, Socitor-GeneTal for Ire
land, replied, denying these accusations. He SAID
he hoped that before long, when peace and order had
been thorO hly restored the prison doors might be
opened. Mr.. Anderson Advanced Liberal member
for Glasgow joined Mr. Nolan in urging the release
OF the suspects. The latter, III urging their immedi
ate release, said if the Government waited until
everyone in Ireland was contented with the Land
bill the release of the prisoners would DO long de-
ferred. The debate then adjourned.
The Times in q leading article this morning says:
If go back to Mr. Gadstone's speech in the House
of Commons in the introduction of the Land BILL will
be that the bin in ITS present shape y satisfied
the conditions OF the solution then contemplated by MIR.
Gladstone the original project with regard to Ire
land there ought to be difference OF opinion among
the tenant farmers, at least in regard to the value OF
the bill 1t them all, and more than all that
reasonable men among them expected, oven de-
msnded down to this time last
The DQiiU Nctcs in a leading article.
There can bo no doubt that the leaders OF tho Land
League will make capital out of the interference OF the
House OF Lords with the Land bill. We regret that OPP
pornity has been offered them OF saying that the Lords
spoiled the BILL but reasonable know that the bill is
not spoiled We do not believe the Lords damaged II
enough to substantially compromise the value OF its
benetlcent operation.
