PARNELL's sPEECH.
LONDON, February 26.-In the
commons Parnell moved his amend
ment to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, attacking the
executive In Ireland for his admins
tration of the crimes act. The
language of the amendment rs very
violent. 1t refers to the ''unjust ex.
ecutionu." In moving the amend
ment Parnell said If there had been
any reduction In the number of out
RACES In Ireland 1t is only because the
people were being kept down by brutal,
terrible coercion. The act was ad-
ministered In q terrible, brutal way.
He pointed to the fact that hardly
any persons arrested under the cur
few clause had been convicted. He
complained of the conduct Of the Irish
judges, mostly appointed for political
reasons, therefore unfit to try
political cases. When the people
saw juries packed, and judges turned,
crown prosecutors all, sympathy with
law and order was destroyed. The
people inevitably became abettors of
crime. If the government after the
Phoenix park murders had relied on
the sympathy Of the people instead Of
q tyrannicsl act, Ireland would have
been pacified. He protested against
the proclamation Of meeting and pros.
ecution of the press. The freedom of
speech did not exist In Ireland. In
the Hynes and other murder cases
the juries were composed almost ex.
clusively of protestants, castle trades.

tenant. The administration of Law
was detested by everybody. he de-
fed the government to continue to
govern Ireland without the sympathy
of the people. The amendment oi
the land act was urged, though ever
that would not quench the spirit oi
Irish nationalism. He believed Cham

who correctly appreciated the Irish
question. [Ironical cheers. rhe gov

He explained why more Protestantl
