MIR. PARNELL BLAMES THE SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, August SIN the house of commons
last night on going into committee of supply
Mr.. Parnell brought under review the suspen-
sion of Mr.; o'Kelly (home ruler) some weeks ago
for characterizing statement of Mr.. TOttenham
conservative as Lying and calumniOus." Mr..
Parnell argued that the standing order under
which Mr.. O'Kelly had been suspended was in
tended only to check persistent obstruction and
not to punish the hasty use of language, and he
blamed the speaker for not giving him an OBJ
portunity of withdrawing the language he used
on the LIST instant, when he was suspended by
the vote of the house for persisting in spite of
the speakers ruling, in raising the question of
the Irish political prisoners.
Mr.. Gladstone commented very warmly on the
liberty assumed by Mr.. Parnell of appealing to
the rules Of the House one night and insulting
them the next night, and he severely censured
him for introducing the subject at time when
it was impossible for the House to pronounce
Judgment. Considering that Mr.. O'Kelly had
used the words Immediately after MFR. T. P. O'Con-
nor had been called to order for using the word
''mendaciOus," he thought the charge against
the speaker completely failed.
The subject was then dropped.

country the tutelary existence of the senate, and
only to endeavor to modify the electoral system
from which it derived its origin. 1t was neces-
sary, he said, to introduce into the mode of
nominating senators the principle OF proper

self the question whether the irremOvability of
senators was not contrary to principles OF uni

assembly, whereas those chosen are elected by
the senate. He urged that they should have to
submit to reelection by o congress of the two
houses. By this means the republican majority

ton is restricted to this point majority might
be found in the senate willing to pass it.
