The People and Troops of Bulgaria
Declare Themselves in Favor
Of Alexander.
LONDON, August 24.-Parnell was loudly
cheered in the Commons tonight on rising
to resume the debate on the address in re-
ply to ths Queens speech. He said he be
lieved that if the country had been given
thre. more weeks to consider tffe Home
Rule bill the Tories would not now DO seen
installed in the Treasury bench. The Irish
party had every reason to be satisfied with
their present posi- ion. The majority of
the Liberal party had declared in favor OF
Irish autonomy, the Tories had only pro-
flied from q temporary liberal position.
After the present Government had ex-
hibited themselves for a year or
SO the spectacle for God and man in an
attempt to govern Ireland the Liberals
hesitation would vanish. The Irish had
every reason tn have patience. Theirs was
the winning cause. II government speeches
were intended to exasperate and threaten
they would fail to have that effect. At the
! ga me time there would be considerable diff
fculty
WITH THE RENT QUESTION.
He regretted the Government had not ap-
preciated the gravity OF the situation. The
commission would be unable to report un
til the pinch Of winter was over. II the
system OF Wales ownership was to be re-
placed by single ownership, there .ould be
a risk to the English taxpayer. He said
he had agreed to the adoption OF the
land purchase act OF 1885, because he
then believed that q settlement Of the ma.
tiOnai question would come c0ncurrently
and because a Conservative Government
had sent to Ireland Lord Carnarvon, who
was an vowed home ruler. Now condi-
tions were entirely changed.
GLADsroNE's SCHEME
would hav safely settled the land question.
Every penny of the principal and interest
could ave been collected through customs
tue excise duties and the money would have
been as safe as the Bank OF England. If
the government thought Of solving the
Irish question without settling the land
wrong end of . very thorny stick Of the
country when they did not allow the Irish
to reap the profits. The Irish party repud-
lated The proposed fraud on British tax
payers. Let the government which OBJ
tanned Office by Misrepresentation, he
would not say lying, pursue their own way
and establish a wholesome system.
OF BRIBERY AND
Parnell here read his amendment to the
address and proceeded: Hesaid that juci-
cial rents were too high. He excepted to
the government encouraging landlords to
evict by the wholesale. knowing that
agrarianss outrages always follow evec-
tio,s why did tenants. submittingto to moon
light raids refuse to give evidence; because
taking Kerry as an example the tenants
knew that before moonlight raids Lord
Kinmore would not leave the roof over the
heads of his tenants. The Irish would be
patient but the Indictment held out by land
lords who tried to exact impossible rents
would bear fruit and produce exasperatioDs.
Landlords wonld clamor for coercion and
force the Government to adopt c~oercive
measures. Yes, he believed that
COERCION WOULD COME
and very severe coercion t~oo-coercion
that would not stop at criminals but at
tack political opponents. If he might offer
a suggestion he would urge that judicial
tt nancies should be fixed at three years in
stead OF fifteen years, and that there
should be a revision OF rents in accordance
eaid: 1.-The Irish will never submit to 8
Government not their owl. The question
of an autonomous Government will always
be fixed in the hearts of the Irish people,"
GLADsToNE's SPEECH.
Gladstone did not remember an occasion
in fifty years when the Government thought
it polite to use an address as An oppor-
tunity for explaining it's policy beyond the
compass of the speech. He thought the
Government should have reserved the
main lines of their measures until the
issues themselves could be presented. But
he was unwilling to complain OF the action
a. H-.a.~-o,k ospfiroo tod h0 would
take no part in the division on ParnelPs
amendment, because he deprecated any
attempt to force definite ana
premature expression of opinion
on a policy which the Government fore
Swallowed for it's future guidance. Their
policy, however, was open to remark, 1t
bore upon five different points, namely,
the issue of q royal commission, questions
OF public works, land purchase. an inquiry
into land rents aud the subject Of legal
government. He believed that the Gov
ernmept's policy was not a sober one, but
war eminently complex and difficult.
Gladstone described the policy OF the goy-
eminent as IN absolute inversion OF the
late government. Instead OF giving Ire
land self government, the present govern
ment proposed that England should gov
ern Ireland to a greater extent than 1t did
now. A great government q proPosed'
| that rents and revenues OF ireland %
taken as security for land purchase loans.
He only hoped that the critics con-
demned that security now proposed. The
government, he continued, evidently, in,
tended to adopt a large scheme Of land
purchase. Was the tenant, he asked. to be
treated upon the I.asis of real rentab'e
value OF property and landlords upon tae
basis of judicial rents? And was the state
| to make up the differauce?
M. Gladstone maintained there was no
mower in Parliament to carry euch 9 fatal
proposition into effect. He had been
tainted with having become the leader Of
Irish N~ationalists. If that was q charg
against him he was delighted as having
any part in becoming a leader OF such 1ol-
movement tending to make smooth the
path OF the Irish people and encourage
them to hope for a realization OF their just
rights.
