HOME RULE INEVITABLE.
HARCOURT REPLIES TO THE
TAUNTS or THG TORIES.

Alarm Him.
LONDON, April 13.-The Pail Mall Ga
sette says that Sir William Vernon Har-
court, Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
iiercely opposes any change in MIR. Glad
stones home rule bill. which will have
for its object the retention OF Irish men,
bers at Westminster.
HARCOURT SPEAKS.
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt, Chancel-
lOr OF the Exchequer, tonight resumed
the debate on the irish bill in the House
Of Commons. He began his speech by re-
marking that those who condemned the
government Irish measure failed to state
an acceptable alternative scheme. No
body accepted Mr.. Trayelyan's plan, and
MIR. Chamberlain project was in turn
repudiated by Lord Harrington, and Mr.
Trevelyan. Mr.. Chamberlain had pro-
pounded a scheme OF great Importance,
but that scheme had never been sub
mitted to the government. lie Mr.
Chamberlain had recommended fedora
ton. What was to be those separate
bodies in Great Britain and Ireland
which were to be the SUBJECT matter Of the
federation recommended?
CHAMBERLAIN PLAN.
Mr.. Chamberlain mad a plan to stay
evlctions by act of Parliament. Who was
agreed to that policy? Had he got the
adhesion OF Lord Harrington? Had be
got the adhesion of Mr.. G9schen, or the
adhesion Ot the right honorable gentleman
aud noble Lord opposite? If be had not
the speaker should like to know how it
was practicable policy. Lord Harting-
ton had said be did not admit the impOs-
sibility Of governing Ireland by mingled
system of remedial and repressive legis-
lation. 1t was to the administration Of
Lord Spencer that he thought the govern
ment OF Ireland ought TO he restored.
EFFECTS OF IT'S INTRODUCTION.
1t had been stated by Mr.. Harrington
that whatever the fate OF this measure
was the mere Introduction of it by a re-
sponsible government would do much
that could never be recalled. That was
perfectly true but it was equally true Of
the events Of June last. The consequence
Of these events could never be recalled.
Those events entirely changed the whole
aspect OF the Irish question. The course
then taken made home rule inevitable.
lCries Of oh, oh, and laughter. He did
not want to speak in spirit of party re-
elimination but that the act of the late
government was condemnation Of the
policy OF Earl spencer.
SPENCER REGIMES PASSED.
1t made a return to the system Of gov
ernmet administered by Earl Spencer
impracticable. Lord Spencer himself was
of that opinion. Irish cheers. The
speaker taunted the opponents Of this
measure with having no basis for an agree
ment on an Irish policy. Did Mr.. GOschen,
be asked, approve Mr.. Chamberlain's
MID Il ct
suspension of eVictiOns? Had the Con-
seryatiye leaders any policy except con-
demnatiOn Of Mr.. GladstOne's scheme?
Lord Randolph Churebill-Yes; they
are against repeal IN any shape or form.
Cheers.
LIKE BEACONsFIELD.
The speaker retorted that "that might
mean as much as Lord BeacOnsield's o.
nunciation of the tiye-pOund franchise at
the very moment when be designed 10
carry through the household suffrage
measure" Laughter
Continuing, SIR William said the fact
was that there was no alternative 10 the
plan OF the government except the Sc
Verest coercion. That would require
strong government government de-
termined, persistent, in harmony with
itself, supported by an overwhelming ma

such a government had been declaimed Of
as resulting from truce of party spirit
and an end of party warfare, but it was
not by the breaking up Of parties that a
strong government could De formed.
SECESSION OF THE ARIsTOCRATs.
Referring to the secession of the "aris-
tOcrats" from the Ministry, he said he was
not sorry for them. only that II would be
bad for the aristOcracy, for II the aristo-
Gratis of England ranged themselves with
party ascendauCY in ireland, then the
democracy OF England would side with The
Irish. Liberal and Parnellite cheers, min

might be popular. It excited the pride
