can understand and all that he eau APP
preciate is strife and perpetual dissen-
tons. Now, sir, | am not going to
argue in this House whether this
view, this monstrous view, Irish cheers
is correct one. | say an irishman is
as capable of loyalty as any other man,
been checked, why, it is because the
laws by which he is governed do not
present themselves to him as they do to
us in England or Scotland with the ma
tive or congenial element. have no
right to say that Ireland, through her
constitutionally elected members, will
accept the measure | propose. | hope
they will, but have no right to assume
it, nor have any power to enforce it
upon the people of England, but / rely
upon the patriotism and sagaeity OF this
| House on a free and full discussion,
and more than allupon the Just and gem
circus sentiments OF the British nation;
and, looking forward, l ask the House,
believing that no trivial motive could
have driven us to assist in the works we
have interchangeable work which we
believe will restore Parliament 10 its free
and unimpeded course. ask them to
stay the waste of public treasure under
the present system Of OF government and
administration in Ireland, which is not a
waste only, but waste which demoral-
ICES while it exhausts. | ask
them to show to Europe and
to America that we, too, can
face the political problems which Amer
lea had to face twenty years ago and
which many countries in Europe have
been called on to face and have not
feared to deal with, | ask that we shall
practice as we have very often preached,
and that in our own case we should be
firm and fearless in applying the doc
trines we have often inculcated in 9TH
ers that the concession of local self
government is not the way to sap and
impair, but strengthen and consolidate
unity. | ask that we should learn to
rely less on mere written stipulations
and more ON those better stipulatious
written on the heart and mind of man.
| ask that we should apply TO Ireland
the happy experience we have gained
ia England and Scotland, where the
course Of generations has now taught
not as dream or theory, but as mat
ter Of practice and OF life-that the
best and surest foundation we can find
to build on is the foundation afforded by
the affections and the convictions and
| the will of man, and that it is thus by
the decree Of the Almighty, not alone
by mortal methods, we may be enabled
to secure at once the social happiness,
power and permanence OF the empire. V

bursts Of enthusiastic cheers which we're
sustained for several minutes. Mr..
Gladstone's speech was three hours and
twenty-five minutes in duration.
When the applause had subsidized Mr..
George Otto Trevalyan, who recently
resigned the position Of Secretary for
Scotland, arose and after eulogizing Mr..
Gladstone's action, said he could never
consent to such a scheme as Mr.. Glad
stone had proposed.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Trevalyan's
speech Mr.. Parnell arose and was re-
ceived with cheers by the Irish MEM
bers. After taking exceptions to some
few points in Trevalyan's speech he
quickly launched into the main subject
and said: at is remarkable fact that
the great meetings now being held in
favor Of Irish legislation are mainly
called together and organized BY native
born Americans and by editors
and conductors of Irish-American
newspapers. We regard the fact
that during the last five or six months
we have succeeded in nearly gaining the
sympathy Of the two great parties in
America, the Democratic and Republi-
can, as good omen for the future. "
ECheers. As to the bill before the
House, while reserving his full express
sion of opinion until he had seen the bill,
Mr.. Parnell congratulated the House on
the fact that there was still living an
English statesman who could devote his
attention to this important matter, and
begged to thank Mr.. Gladstone for what
would prove beneficial measure.
