Ill regard to immediate legislative
measures, the government had not asked
for exceptional powers. He failed to
gather that the opposition leader objected
TO the government measures, which natIIr-
ally he had disparaged because he did not
want restoration of order. AT this point

that perhaps he might be allowed to finish
the sentence. He had intended to say that
Mr.. OConnor had disparaged the govern

restoration of social order until political

grounds upon which Sir William Harcourt
III his recent speech, covered
the governments action with contempt and
rldlcuie. Certainly that speech had added
to the difficulty with which the government
was confronted. Cheers. He regretted
the lmputatlon that the government had
encouraged Irish landlords by acting other
wise than with moderation and forbearance.

had perfect right to discuss Mr.. Glad

was amply justified in

not be said of other parties to the contro-

lie said that an increase of outrages al
ways followed an increase of evictions. 1t
was fallacy to suppose that social order
could be restored without dealing with the
agrarlan question. The government pro-
posed to stop outrages on the one hand and
to encourage evlctions on the other hand.
Cheers. He doubted if any good would
be accomplished by sending Sir Red
Vers Butler to Ireland, because that
gentlemen would be unable to devise any
new means for the detection of crimes
which the public desired to conceal.
Inc league had done its utmost to prevent
crime and its failure was evidence of hoW
deep-rooted the disorder was. But Mn
Parnell was right when he said that if I'M

to extort the utmost farthing in order

site reason Continuing, Mr.. Morley said
that the appointment of a commission ia

tries was entirely unnecessary, as all de-
slrable information on that subject was al
ready in the hands OF the government. He
considered that the proposal to spend mill

Ireland was of more doubtful expediency
than any proposal that could have eman-
ated from the government. Besides, il
