GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
At the lord mayors banquet tonight, Glad
stone, replying to the toast, "Her Majesty's
Minister'S" said I can discern signs of i'm
provement in Ireland. believe the people of
England are unanimously convinced that it
was necessary to take strong measures in Ire
land in defense of public law and private lib
erty. One question at least has been decided.
The people are determined to make full trial
of the land act. 1 hold in my hand very sig
nifcant proof the treatment to which
the Irish will be subjected by their so-called
authority stating that anybody paying rent
before the suspects are released, without the
consent of the Land League, will be Boycott
ted. Though cannot state that throughout
Ireland the covenants into which tenants en-
ter are punctually performed, yet they are
lsrgely and increasingly performed.
Those who decline their perform
ance are generally those who
are we'll able to fulfill their engagement. I
Cdu cdlCly say tuC 1IISu Will uuakc use Vi luc
land act, which will be impartially admin
istered.
Referring to foreign affairs, Gladstone said:
Lord Granville will be able to draw picture
less charged with anxious and critical features
than that of year ago. Afghanistan, in
stead of being broken into fragments, is now
under a single ruler. We are happy to think
that peace reigns in South Africa.
Referring to the next session of parliament,
Gladstone said: It will he an early and
urgent demand on the wisdom of parliament
to consider effective means for meeting the
great evil of obstruction which has presented
itself. would wish this question to be. kept
out of the region of party dispute in the in
terest of all parties. In the interest of the
nation and country it is necessary that public
business be regularly and effectually con-
Quoted. [Cheers].
