Mr' Morley had emphasized that by warn
ing the House that unless Mr.. Gladstone's
Dill was passed the country might pre-
pare Tor resistance TO the payment OF
rent, for revolt, dynamite explosions and
assassinatiOns. The House, ne declared,
was ready to face such a position, with
Whlch 1t was already familiar. Mr..
GIadstone's proposals had given the Ma
tlonalsts an enormous advantage. He
had listened to many Of Mr.. GladstOne's
speeches, the charms of which were
described as being like the
effects Of morphia. The sensation
under operation was transcendent, the
awakening was bitterly painful. In con-
cluslon the speaker said that the effect of
the Dill would be TO free Ireland from the
supremacy of Parliament and the sover-
eighty. He regretted that it had not been
deemed consistent with the custom of the
House to take division on Mr.. Glad
stones motion for leave to introduce the
bill, but decision would speedily arrive
when the House would vote against the
proposals, which were desperate, uncon-
stltutional and misleading. Loud cheers. !

Ireland Parnelite cheers. as to the ex-
cluslOn of Irish members from the I'm
perlal Parliament? The sudden affection
of the opponents of the bill displayed for
the presence of the Irish members would
not deceive the Irish people. Mr.. Glad
stones bill was the first genuine effort to
give the law in Ireland moral support.
CAUSE OF IRELAND'S CONDITION.
The condition of Ireland was not due to
perVersity of Irish character. That was
only the weak excuse Of imbecile states
men. The truth was the united Parlia-
ment had hitherto failed in its duty to
Ireland. The bill does not attack the In
perial Parliament or the crown as to
Ulster The bill gave Protestants and
Catholics the same right. He was con-
Vlnced that the patriotism of the Ulster
Orangemen and Catholics would go to
the common fund of intelligence and en-
ergy which would build up the nation.
The English have tried to govern Ireland
and failed. 1t was now time for Ireland
to try to govern itself. [Cheers.I
IRISH SPIRIT.
The Speaker reminded the House that
it had never been able to break the spirit
of the Irish people. If the measure was
not passed, if Parliament refused it to-
day, another Parliament dare not refuse
to pass 1t. Whom "A just aud practicable
scheme like this, sanctioned by the Cab
met, when dissention of the Liberals only
differing as to the means,; when the Con-
serVatives had no policy but repression,
was it not the highest wisdom to pass a
a measure IN generous spirit? If it
were postponed till the military were
used to enforce repression it would still
have to be done, ana under conditions in
fnitely worse.
Mr.. Bradlaugh said he regretted the
bitterness OF the criticism on Mr.. Glad
stones speech. The subject ought to be
approached in a generous spirit. He
would give Mr.. Gladstone his heartiest
support.
Major Saunders congratulated Mr..
Gladstone on his maiden speech as the
leader OF the Home Rulers. He SAID he
was at loss to understand what was
meant by can Irishman". The
Parnellites represented three-fourths of
the population of Ireland, but the minority
represented the industry, education, back
bone, and it would be found the fighting
power Of Ireland. His continued humOr-
GUS salies against the Irish patriots were
greeted with much laughter. Mr.. Burt
strongly supported Mr.. Gladstone's
scheme.
