more than three years has been leading England
from disaster to disaster. The lowest shame and

Of the party vote for the coming division on the

unwilling to support the Government and wish to
abstain from voting. The Parnellite vote Is
uncertain.

THE IRISH AMENDMENT.

OF TIE GOVERNMENT.

Mr.. PARNELL CONDEMNS THE IRISH POLICY
OF THE GOVERNMENT.
LONDON Feb. SIN accordance with previous
announcements, Mr.. Pamel moved in the House
of Commons to-day amendment to the address
in reply TO the Queens speech. The amendment
severely condemns the policy of the Government
ia Ireland asserting that 1t has failed to tranquil
lie the people has wantOnly prohibited public
meetings and nterfered with the freedom OF speech
and has permitted magistrates publicly to applaud
the conduct Of Lord Rossmorc whohad been super
seded as Justice of the Peace for disturbing public
order and melting ill-will and strife between the
different classes of Ireland. The amendment fur
ther demands the immediate abandonment of tho
policy of stimulating State aided emigration Of the
Irish In the course of the remarks with which he
accompanied his motion, Mr. Parnell asserted that
the recent visit of Sir Stafford Northcote to Ireland
had been an exciting cause Of civil disturbance.
The Orange OutrageS were, III ms opinion, grave
misfortune TO the Conservatives, whom Sir Stafford
NOTthcOte had dragged vt the heels of discredited
Irish faction. He denounced in strong terms the
orat0ry of the Orange platform during the recent
attempt to introduce the National League into
Ulster.
Continuing, Mr.. Parnel said that the Orange
demonstrations were not spontaneous but were at
tended by hirelings paid by landlords. The Orange
opposition TO Nationalist meetings was violent
and seditiOus. Cries of "OhW) Every one
participating therein was liable TO prosecution
der the intimidation clause OF the Crimes act The
recent events in the North of Ireland, however.
would hasten the time when Ireland would egislate
for herself on her own soil.
r. ID. Sullivan, Member from Westmeath County,
said that the Orangemen were, obstacles to the
spread of loyalty in the North of Ireland.
Lord Randolph Churchill Conservative member
for Woodstock said that the dismissal of Lord
ROssmore was a bait to catch the Irish vote.
G.. o. TreyelyaB, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said
that outrages in ireland had fallen TO point that
would be no discredt to any country; that rents
were being paid more regularly paid than III the
centre and east of England and that indictments to
bOycotting and violence were no longer obeyed.
The idea that the Government had suspended
Lord RossInOre III order to win the Irish vote was
almost as wild as Mr.. ParnelPs statement that the
Government was actuated by desire to play into
the hands of the Orangemen. 1t was creditable to
Earl Spencer the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, that
few casualties had occurred when so many armed
and excited men were parading the towns
The debate on the amendment was adjourned.
