Outlines of Gladstone's Modified scheme
Dior an Irish Parliament - An Orange
Manifesto-ParneIl will Insist ON Irish
Control of the Police. Ns
LONDON, Dec. %. The general prin-
cipies of Mr. Gladstone's proposed bill have
been communicated to leading men in the
party to-day. Opposition to its main
features is gathering strength 1t can
not become law till there has been a disso-
luton and appeal to the country. The
measure foreshadowed has been modified.
The bill will create local legislature for
Ireland with limited powers, its jurisdic-
ton not extending beyond municipalities
and counties, leyying, raising and ex-
pending rates for local purposes,
etc. The Imperial Government will
hold all forts, garrisons, barracks and
imperial buildings. There will be a
national police aud no other police organiza-
ton. The whole of the Sheriff's officers,
bailiffs and personnel of the courts will
be part of the imperial judicial system,
administered by imperial officers. The
local Legislature will enact no law
interfering with the general laws of
the Kingdom. No statute can take effect
until it has received imperial sanction.
There can be no legislation affecting trade,
land. rents, custom duties, internal
revenue or taxes. Railways, telegraphs,
rivers and highways come under the
control OF the new Legislature. but not ex-
ternal traffic. Within local limits the power
of the Legislature is supreme. There is
to be responsible Ministry appointed by the
Grown, and imperial officials will represent
tho sovereign authority. The Legislature will
be elective. There will be special provisions
dealing with the national debt, the adjust
ment of Ireland's share of imperial liabilities
and taxation, defining the limitations to the
power of the Legislature to raise money
and the territorial rights and supremacy Of
the Crown.
