Eloquent Crffacfsm.


LONDON, August 25--- r. Parnell was
loudly cheered in the House OF Commons
on rising to resume the debate on the ad
dress in reply to the Queen's speech. He
said he believed that IL the country had
been given three more weeks to consider
the Home Rule bill the Tories would not
now be seen installed on the Treasury
Bench. The Irish party had every reason
to be satisfied with the present position.
A majority of the Liberal party had de-
clared In favor of Irish autonomy. The
Tories had only profited from temporary
Liberal hesitation. After the present
government had exhibited themselves for
year or SO. q spectacle for God and man,
In an attempt to governoI Ireland. Lib
eral hesitation would - sh
The Irish had every xszEs0ir6 90 have patti
ence. Theirs was the winning cause. III
the Government speeches were intended
to exasperate Ireland they would fail to
have that effect. At the same time there
would be considerable difficulty with the
rent question. He regretted that the
Government had not appreciated the
gravity Of the occasion. The Royal Com
mission would be unable to report until
pinch OF winter was over. II the system
Of dual ownership was to be replaced by q
system of single ownership there would
be risk to the English taxpayer.
Mr.. Parnell said he had only agreed to
the adoption of the Land Purchase act
Of 1885. because he then believed that a
settlement of the national question would
come concurrently, and because the Con-
servative Government had sent to Ire
land Lord Carnavon, who was an avowed
Home Ruler. Now the conditions were
entirely changed. Mr.. Gladstone's pur-
chase scheme would have safelysettled the
~ r>,i,,
cipal and interest could have been col
lected through the customs and excise
duties and the money would have been as
safe as the Bank of England. II the Gov
ernment thought of solving the Irish
land question it would find it had got
hold of the wrong end of the stick.
Mr.. Gladstone. upon rising, was loudly
cheered. He began by accusing the Gov
ernment OF having taken on unusual
course in going 80 fur outside of the
speech from the throne. He did not re-
member MI occasion in fifty years when
the Government thought it polite to use
the address us an opportunity for explain
ing its policy beyond the compass OF the
speech. He thought the Government
should have reserved the main lines of
their measures until the measures Them
selves could be presented. But he was
unwilling TO complain of the action of the
Government.
He intima;ed that he wonld take no
punt in the division on Mr.. Parnelrs
rendment, because he deprecated any
attempt to force definite premature ex-
preston of opinion on the policy which
the Government foreshadowed for their
future guidance Their policy, however,
was open to remarks. 1t bore upon five
different points, namely, the issue of royal
commissions questions OF public works,
land purchase an inquiry into land rents
and tie subject OF local government. He
believed that the Governments policy was
not u sober one, but was eminently com
pleX and difficult.
At this point Lord Randolph Churchill
rose TO n point OF order, urging that there
was only Mr.. ParnelPs g amendment under
discussion. Speaker Peel concurred and
reminded Mr. Gladstone that he could re-
view the Governments policy generally
after the specific amendment had been
disposed of. Mr., Gladstone appealed for
indulgence and asked the House not to
insist upon n strict enforcement of the rule.
Lord Randolph Churchill said he was will
ing TO grant every indulgence, but he did
not " ish the debate to be unduly pro-
longed.
Mr.. Gladstone, resuming his speech, de-
scribed the policy of the government as en-
absolute inv version of the policy of the late
Government. Instead of giving Ireland
self-government the present Government
proposed that England should govern
ireland to a greater extent than it did at
the present time. The late Government
had proposed that the rents and revenues
of Ireland be taken as security for the
land purchase loans. He only hoped that
the critics who condemned that security
would be equally vigilant concerning the
security now proposed.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Parnel will
not press his amendment to n division,
Mr.. Sexton's amendment relating to
Belfast, it Is thought, will be reached by
Thursday. 8.
