SEXTON PRECEDES THE VOTE
WITH A LONG SPEECH.


the land purchase bill IN his speech in the
House of Commons last night, during the
debate on the address in reply to the
Queens speech, Mr.. Chamberlain said he
would favor a large scheme OF State-aided
land purchase III Ireland as long as that
country remains portion of the United
KinGdOm, but he objected TO lending un-
der the insecure conditions Of Mr.. Glad.
stones plan to what would practically be
foreign country. If the government
would introduce well considered scheme
for the creation of peasant proprietary in
Ireland, under effective control OF the
Imperial Parliament, and with security
from the municipal auth critics, MIR. Cham
berlain promises to give it cordial support.
In the House OF Commons to-day Lord
Randolph Churchill gave notice that the
government would propose the abolition
of the secretservice fund, which amounts
| to 10000 yearly. This announcement
| was greeted with cheers.
SEXTON SCORES CHAMBERLAIN.
Mr.. Sexton, who was loudly cheered
when he arose to speak, said that the gov
/ ernment enjoyed great advantages in re-
| gard TO Mr.. Parneps amendment, be-
cause besides the power and emolument
! Of office, they were, by the energy of their
| casual allies, relieved of the necessity OF
framing policy in the Cabinet and de-
Tending it in debate. He regretted to no.
| tIce that Mr.. Chamberlain was absent
and said that his absence afforded ques.
| tionable example of British pluck. MIR.
Chamberlain showed what confidence he
bad in his case by running away. The mere
Mr.. Cham berlain spoke the better was Mr..
Sexton pleased. because no regarded Mr..
Chamberlain, as political misdoer, only
requiring to be given sufficient material
/ TO execute the needs OF public justice
| upon himself. Mr.. Chamberlain had con-
demned Mr.. ParnelPs amendment as in
conclusive in a speech from which half a
! dozen conflicting conclusions could be
| drawn. The amendment was definite and
clear.
THE FIRST CLAUSE.
Ii the first clause were adopted declar-
| ing the Irish tenants case beyond their
| control, as they were unable 10 pay their
rents, Lord Randolph Churchill must
forthwith withdraw his utterances tend
ing to incite landlords to the adoption OF
violent measures, and adopt remedial
measures instead of policy of force. AL
though the Queens speech containedsno
allusi0n to the land purchase. Mr.. Sex
ton challenged Lord Churchill to deny
that land purchase formed part of the
governments system. Mr.. Chamberlain,
be continued, was raster of the useiul
art OF Nsuppressing any part of his case
which did not suit his purpose. Such
practice was not calculated TO give
politician permanent ad-
| vantage in the eyes OF Englishmen.
| The British government being partly
answerable for the wrong doing OF Ire
lands landlords, Mr.. Gladstone had
made them the most liberal offer they
| would ever receive. When that Offer was
| spurned and used to bring discredit upon
the OtIerer, there was no obligation in
honor to renew it. II there was any more
talk about honor Mr.. Gladstone could
| doubtless say as Lady Teazle said to
| Charles Surface< "Had we not better
| leave honor out OF the question ?''s Ger
tatnly Mr.. Gladstone would never make
Mr.. Chamberlain the judge or custodian
| OF his honor. Mr.. Gl adstOne's land pur-
chase scheme was secured by every penny
of the public revenue of Ireland. This was
100000 yearly.
TRUE UNION.
True union would have resulted from
the adoption OF that policy, and no un-
natural combination Of intriguing politi-
clans could long delay tnat union. The
| appointment of Gen. Butler would not
promote such union, but would give Ire
~
Mr.. Chamberlain, despite the urgent con-
ditlon OF Ireland, was content to walt as
long as the government wished. If Mr.
Chamberlain had lived in the time of Nero
he would have played second fiddle while
Rome was burning. Great laughter. |
He said that the proposed commissions
would be productive OF no benefit and
would only delay dealing with pressing
questions. The policy OF Mr.. Chamber
lain was to oppose any amendment
which could act as vote OF CEN
sure against the government, while Lord
randolph Churchill's Irish policy was to
draw bills on the future which he did not
intend to honor. Cheers. In cOnclu-
sion, Mr.. Sexton said that the Parnellites
would counsel Irishmen TO stand by each
other and not be intimidated by any fear
Of combinations. They would remind
lrishmen that Mr.. Gladstone's great
effort TO promote peace between the two
countries was supported by million and
| aquarter OF Brftons, and that the majority
against IL consisted of votes only, not Of
men. They would do everything possible
in fairness and justice to promote peace,
but they could not make themselves
traitors TO Ireland by asking the people
during the coming winter to pauperize
themselves in order to furnish arguments
to their own ruin. Mr.. Sexton spoke for
nearly two hours.
Mr.. Chamberlain entered the House
shortly after Mr.. Sexton commenced and
remained until he had finished.
Mr.. ParnelPs amendment was rejected
by vote OF 304 to 1S1. Lord harrington,
Dir. Chamberlain and the Uniouists sup
ported the government. Sir William Ver-
non Harcourt abstaIned from voting and
Mr.. Morley voted with the minority. The
announcement OF the result caused little
excitement.
Mr.. Giadstone's brochure on the Irish
question was published to-day. IL con-
tains 6S pages, and is similar in the excel
lency OF its style TO Mr.. Gladstone's
pamphlet on the Bulgarian atr0city. At
the outset Mr.. Gladstone compares It
with an apology be wrote on his change
OF attitude regarding the Irish church.
But" he continues, sin the present case
have no such change to indicate, but
have only to point out the mode in which
my language and conduct we're governed
by the uniformity of principle l have
amply followed that tho various stages by
which the great question OF autonomy for
Ireland has been brought to a stage OF
ripeness for practical legislation"
