| bill had been slight. The bill mad been
torn into shreds, yet there had been no
defense for it. Questions had been askt d
regarding the power of veto, the two
orders sitting together and financial pro-
posals, yet the defenders Of the bill had
/ ignored these questions, adducing the
! single argument that the bill was the sole
alternative and must be passed.
POWER OF THE PARNELLITEs.
They were, indeed, told that because Sc
Irish members We're determined upon
| having homo rule it therefore must be
granted. Suppose these 66 members had
gone further and asked for separation
without any checks, should Parliament
be equally bound to coucede ltY If thy
accepted this doctrine and Wales and
| Scotland asked for separation, in what
position England would be. What,
under this system or the voice or
a hostile majority holding sway, becomes
of the voice Of UlsterY The Premier
| had spoken of the foreign garb in which
the laws were placed before the Irish peO-
pie as being the whole basis OF mischief
Would the Irish people have been salts
fled with these identical laws if placed
before them in native dressY Cries of
mop There was fearful agrarian
problem which had hitherto baflled the
efforts of all statesmen.
THE ROOT or THE EVIL.
The real basis of mischief was that the
views of the majority OF the Irish
people in some Of he chief principles OF
legislation were different from those held
in England and Scotland, from those cur
rent ia every civilized country. IParnell-
ite cries of"No, nO.Dl The attitude OF the
Irish on the agranan laws and on the
questions OF contract. held sacred in other
countries, was hostile attitude. Never
had the 'uO rent manifesto found accept
ance in any other country in Europe.
Paruellite cries at was necessary"
That's Just iv' continued the speaker,
''the Irish party are cOntending for a rev.
Oluti0nary change in the laws OF Ireland
which make those laws different from
those OF every other civilized country"
Cheers.
NO SIMILARITY.
Mr.. GOschen next contended that there
was no analogy between the position OF
Ireland aad England and that OF Norway
and sweden, or Austria and Hungary.
Irish aud English interests, he said, were
so interlaced that when they come to the
finance question they could find IL diff
cult TO decide whether the income TO be
taken was English or Irish. Their inter
ests could not be dssOciated. Cheers. ]
1t was now proposed TO admit
portion OF the Irish members
to the Imperial Parliament, but
Could the Irsih claim that they should be
here voting on English and Scotch affairs,
while the English Parliament would have
no control over Irish matters. The fact
was they could not treat Ireland diiler-
emily from England and Scotland, and
tine only possible conclusion was that II
they gave national Parliament to Ire
land they must also grant the same terms
to England and Scotland. GCheers.
THE IRISH CONTINGENT.
The speaker then argued that the pres
| euce OF an irish contingent IN Parlia-
ment would again place English affairs
at the mercy of the Irish members; that
the new Dublin Parliament would speedI-
ly reduce the qualification for the election
OF the first order, making the basis prob
ably judicial rental laughter that the
Imperial Parliament did not know
whether il would have any veto at all.
and that the bill, il passed, would
effect an entire change in tue Irish
executive, involving every institution
OF Ireland, judges, Magistrates and civil
service, change without a parallel, eN-
cept that effected 10y the French revolu-
ton, when even all the criminal laws
were revised. such revolution would
not be merely political, but would also
be "A social one. Even if laws for Ireland
were made here, the execution Of those
laws would be entrusted to a revolution
ized executive. Loud opposition cheers
FOREIGN RESPONSIBILITY.
Further, England would be responsible
TO foreign countries for the conduct OF
ireland. If the latter caused any breach
Of neutrality, or by neglect OF municipal
laws inflicted damage on other countries,
England might have a war on her hands
- p "A "a
penny toward the expense OF the war. II
an alabama" escaped from Ireland or
an Irishman enlisted to succor Roman
Catholic country in war on the CONT
nent England would be responsible, while
the Irish executive over which the Fog
lish would have no control, would alone
be 10 blame. COnspratOrs, Nihilists ana
dynamters might flock to Dublin. Cries
Of oh, oh, and cheers. 1t would be IA dif-
ficut task to close Ireland against dyna-
mite allies from the other side of the A.
lantic.
IRISH LOYALIsTs.
On behalf of IRISH ioyalsts, he protested
against their abandonment. Countries
humiliated by defeat had seen portion Of
their subjects relying on their honor,
handed over TO their enemies, but Tor
nation IN the plenitude OF power TO hand
over its lOyal adherents was an act never
before recorded in the annals Of history.
TCheers.l The speaker admitted tnat Ire
land required special legislation, but he
saw no necessity for heroic measures.
A central political body in Dublin would
sap the foundations Of local lite, 80 he
would sooner build up in Ireland a 81 stem
of government through local and munich
pal bodies. then establish a central body,
which must. from "a sense OF its nature. be
potential. In conclusion, he denied that
frmness could be called coercion. and said
there would be no repression If there was
no crime. He could not ioresee an out

EUROPE's ADVICE TO AMERICA.
The United States had had a difficulty
twenty wears ago. and Europe had adj
viscd the North that it could not manage
the south. n the United States had ac-
cepted that opinion there would now be
two nations Of Americans instead Of one.
] Z we were 10 listen 10 the voice " meri.
ca nOW-nOt unanimous voice.
because many Americans thought a.
madness 10 concede home rule-then
the United Kingdom would become
two nations instead Of one. CayOur had
said that disruption Of the bonds uniting
the British islands would be "A hateful and
criminal enterprise. II would be hateful
and criminal. Opposition cheers. The
responsibility for weakening those ties
rested with the Premier and his followers.
Those resisting the breaking up OF the
empire must close up their ranks, ana
