The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1886-04-14
MR. PARNEEE AROSE,

At the conclusion of Mr.. Trevellyan :
speech. and was received with cheers by
the Irish members. He congratulated Mr..
rrevellyan on having, like the French
General who had unnecessarily defended
Paris, his own plan; plan, however, which
did not awaken much enthusiasm in the
House.
Trevellyan, he said, had stated why he
had left the government, but not
why he had resigned his post as Chief
Secretary [Cheers from the Irish
benches.
Mr.. Parnell then went on to justify
his past utterances and action which had
been impugned BY Mr. Trevellyan.
Speaking of America and the assassina-
ton literature which comes from, Ameri-
can, Mr.. Parnell said that most of The lit
erature was neither American nor Irish
literature. ''If Mr.. Treveilyan,' he coz
tinued, "were to study the literature of
America at this moment, he would find
that sympathy for the just settlement OF
the grievances of Ireland by the conces-
sion OF domestic Legislature is shown by
all classes, whether Irish or native-born
Americans, and especially the native born
Americans are welcoming the efforts of
Mr.. Gladstone, in the belief that they will
bring peace between England and
Ireland, and more especially between Irish
Americans and England. 1t is a remark
able fact that the great meetings'now being
held in favor of an Irish Legislature are
mainly called together and organized by
native-born Americans by editors and
conductors of Irish-American newspapers
We regard the fact that during last five or
six months we Lave succeeded in entirely
gaining the sympathy of the two great
parties of America, the Democrats and
the Republicans, as good omen for the
future" [Cheers.l
As to the bill before the House, while
reserving his full expression of opinion
until he had seen the bill, M. Parnell
congratulated the House on the fact that
there was still living an English statesman
who could devote his attention to this i'm
portant matter, and thanked Mr.. Gladstone
for what would not only prove beneficial
measure from the Irish point of view, but
which he (Parnell) believed would be
found TO be of equal benefit to England.
The bill, nevertheless contained blots
which the Irish representatives would do
their best to remove. One OF these was to
be found in the financial proposals of the
bill, which he regarded as very unfavor-
able to Ireland, especially in regard
to the Irish tribute to the imperial ex-
chequer.
He also complained of the proposition
relative to the landowners constitution of
the Irish Parliament, On the ground that
the first order consisting of peers, not sub
leet to the influence OF the popular vote.
would have the power OF hanging np
measures demanded by the people and
their representatives for two or three years.
On the whole. however, apart from these
defects, he believed the measure would be
cheerfully accepted by the Irish people
and representatives as a satisfactory solu-
ton of the long standing dispute between
he two countries, and as tending to pros
perity and peace in Ireland and to salts
faction to England. Cheers.l

further than what was usually spoken of
as the rupture of the union, and he pre-

the measure with CONSERVATION and alarm.
