DEsERTER AND DEsTRucTIoNIsy i
In what character does the right hon
orable gentleman address the House TO-
day? 1t is as the ally of the Tories, as
the confederate Of Wings, as the de-.
serter of his party Irish eheers], as one
who contrjves the downfall Of The.
Prime Minister [hear, hear|, the break
ing up of the Liberia! party; the de-
struction Of that party Liberal and
Irish cheersl the destruction OF THAI
party as Z. weapon and an instrument
of progress. He appears as one who,
whatever the purpose Of his conduct
may be. the effect of it, if he WAS suc-
cessful, could not be other than this, TO
give over the working men of England
to the advocate and champions OF class
privilege and monopoly. Irish cheers.
He appears to consider the people OF
unfortunate Ireland--wlo have had
given to tben by the Prime Minister q
bill which affords glimpse Of freedom
worthy only to be handed over to the
double policy OF Lord Salisbury-glz.,
The enforced emigration OF {, million OF
Irish people, and 81 firm and uniiinch- .-
ing repression OF twenty years stern
coercion. Irish cheers. ...
THE VOICE from THE GAVE.
l cannot congratulate the right hon,
n1alnber upon TIE cbearfulness Of his
manner in speaking 5o~ftay lhear, hear-)
His voice had q hollow and sepulchral
sound, as if it came out of a cave lroars
Of laughter.( 1 believe the right hol-
orahe gentleman does not like to have
ii called cave; he prefers it being
called q chasm laughter.) Well: I ac-
cept The amendment, for if you go into
a cave YOU can come out of it when you
like, even if you have to crawl out Oh
your hands and knees-a posture to
which, as far as / can learn, the right
honorable gentleman hasno marked re-
pngnance {laughter.) But if you get
into chasm the chances are that you
will stay there. Cheers and lasaga~
teri Aud ( certainly think that the !
cllasin, which is the result and handl-
work Of the right hen. gentleman, will ;
prove to i3e the last political resting
place cf himself and his ingenious ati~
herents.
LORD HARRINGTON.
The motion for tie rejection Of this
Bill. has proceeded from the noble
lord the member for Rossendale, and
the Prime Minister has Justly said, and
the county in the depths OF its intelli-
gence has felt the truth Of it, that the
spirit of class and power form the main
body of the opposition to this Bill.
(Cheers.) [ have treated, aud shall al
ways treat, the noble lord with the res
pect which no lrishman ever fails to
give to frank and manly enemy. The
noble lord is not to be suspected 'oi:
beng actuated by sentiments OF vanity
spleen. {Cbaers.) lie Is not burning
with secret rage at the prefsruent Of
another man. (LGud Liberal and Irish :
cleers.) He refused to enter the Cabi"
net because he would not tolerate Home
Rule III any shape or form, for Ireland.
Therefore 1t does not ieyolve upon
nle TO argue tie principle Of the Bill
with him, as he will not accept it On
any terms. Hear. hear.) The noble
lord has offered us some mouldy crumbs
of local self f-governn ent-such crumbs )
as may fall from the table of the
Dives, and be given to the beggar at,
the gate. Irish ironical cheers. Ire
land does not stand here as a beggar.
Irsh cheers.) ireland asks her right,
{Irish and Liberal cheers,) and have
never heard that the meagre benefac-
ton that was given to Lazarus had any
effect upon the rich man IS ultimate des-
Cination. loud cheers and laughter.j
THE QUESTION FOR TIE COUNTRY
is between the Prime Minister and
Lord Salisbury. (Irish and Liberal
cheers.) Lord Salisbury is the only al i,
ternative to the Prime Minister (Irish
and Liberal cheers)--.th only alterla~ :,
tive to the policy of Home Rule and
Cancellation is policy OF forced emil
igratlon and twenty years coercion.
Irish and Liberal cheers. and Tory
cries Of mo. no.'') We have not
learned that from what the Tories say
in this House. Here the Tory leaders
are very silent. (Cheers, and cries Of mo
no.'') say the Tory leaders, because
cannot recognise as o Tory leader yet
the American gentleman. Mr.. Ashnead
Bartlett, who addressed this House as
an officer of militia. loud daughters
Indeed can Gnd some reason for their :
silence, because it must be distressing !
for so astute a gentleman and SO very
profound strategisti as Lord Churchill
to be condemned to serve under Lead 2
