THE GREAT SPEECH.
LONDON, June S.--Mr. Gladstone did
not conclude his great speech until
O'Clock this morning. AT .er answering
the arguments of Sir Michael Hicks Beach
and Chamberlain he devoted himself to
the bill in hard.
Speaking Of the description OF the
home-rule bill as separation bin, he
said II was the merest slang of vulgar
= E,troversy. He conscientiously thought

~ historical question. The argu-
nj, ats made from the other side appeared
to him to rest their principle in the main
upon two suppositions--one the idea OF
the profound original depravity or
INCOMPETENCE OF THE IRISH PEoPLE.
Another, the conscientious conviction
OF the gentlemen opposite that
when two countries associated,
but not Incorporated, with each
other were In disturbed relations with
each other the remedr is to create an abb
solute legislative Incorporation. 1.-THE
trouble, as proved by history, is this"
continued Mr.. Gladstone, "that when
there are disturbed relations between
countries that are politically associated,
but net Incorporated, the real remedy Is
to make provision for civil independence
SUBJECT TO IMPERIAL UNITY.
The gentleman spoke OF tightening the
ties between this country and Ireland,
but tightening is not always the way TO
make it stronger or make it
stand stronger strain. Cheers
Severance OF legislatures has often
been the union OF those countries and a
union of legislatures the severance Of
those countries. Can you give singh,

There has been no great day OF hope fol-
Ireland, no day when you might hope &
completely and definitely end the contro
versy, till now after more than ninety
years. That long period of time has a
last run over and her star has agaiI
mounted up into the heavens. What Ire
land was doing for herself in 1898 we a
length have done, the Roman Catholics
have been emanclpated. Emanclpatet

slowly and sullenly, not from goodwill,
but from abject terror, with all the fruits
and consequences that will follow that

second problem has been also solved, and
the representation OF Ireland has been
reformed, and am thankful to say that
franchise was given to Ireland, together
with readjustmen', last year with free
aud open hand. This gift OF franchise
was the last act required TO make the
success of Ireland in her tiual effort abb
