Act because there had been a prospect
of returning order in that country.
The experiment, however, had failed,
although every shancs had been given
90 make il success. Nothing, he
said, could exceed the patience of
Earl Carnarvon in carrying out bis
mission Of peace. The disease, said
Lord Salisbury, existed in Westminster
and not in Ireland, and the government
must try and stamp il out. The words
Gladstone had uttered we're answsrable
FER many of the Irish evils. Dir. Glad
stone, he said, had not spoken with
sufficient frmnsss concerning the
integrity of the empire. The Prime
Minister'S speech was received with
cheers. That portion of the Queens
speech referring to the Irish question
is as follows:
81 have seen with deep sorrow since
] last addressed you attempts to excite
the people of ireland to hostility
against legislative union between that
country and Great Britain. am reso-
lutely opposed to any disturbance of
that fundamental law, and in resisting
it | am convinced that | will be
heartily supported by my Parliament
and my people. The social no less
than the material condition OF that
country engages my anxious attention.
Although there has been during the
last year no marked increase of serious
crime, there is in many places CON-
csrted resistance to the enforcement Of
legal obligations, and regret that the
practice "f organized intimidation con-
finues to exist | have caused every
sxerti0n to be used for the detection
and punishment of these crimes, and
ne effort will be spared on the par; of
nay Government to protect my Irish
subjects in the exercise of their legal
rights and in the enjoyment of indus
trial liberty. If, as my information
leads me to apprshsnd, the existing
laws should prove to be inadequate to
cope with these growing evils, | shall
look with confidencs to your willing
ness to invest my Government with all
necessary powers. Bills will be sub
mitted for transferring to representa-
tive councils in counties of Great
Britain local business which IS now
transacted by Courts of Quarter SEES
sisns and other authorities. Ameasure
for the reform of county government
in Ireland is also in preparation.
These measures will involve cOnsiders-
ton of tho present incidents Of local
burden"
In regard to Ireland Gladstone said
he wished that the Queen s speech had
been more explicit. He was convinced
that only gentle and conciliatory hand
ling ef the Irish question would be eff
fsctual. He had always striven to
eliminate elements of wrath and pas
sion il discussing the affairs of Ireland.
The exercise of candor and justice
could alone afford the smallest hope Of
solving the difficulty. Whatever"
he continued, ait may be necessary to
do for Ireland should be done prompt
~. In the name of heaven, let US
maintain the union. We have been
maintaining it for eighty five, yes, six
hundred years. Let us not deviats
from the path of good tenn per and self
command, but, forgetful of every pre-
judice, let US strive to do justice to
the great; the gigantic interest com-
aittsd to our charge" Loud cheers.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke for an hour and
twenty minutes and was greatly ap-
plaudsd throughout.
The debate left the impression that
both parties are anxious to cOnciliate
the Parnellites, and have no desire to
enforce strong coercion measures. At
the same time it is believed that there
is no chance of either the Conssrva-
tivss or Liberals proposing at this
session any homs-rule measure likely
to satisfy the Irish.
