1t was proposed to retain the jviceroy, bui
he would not be the representative OF @
party or quit office with the outgoing gov.
ernment. The Queen would be empowered
TO delegate to him any prerogatives she now
enjoyed or would enjoy. The religious dis
ability now existing, which makes Roman
Catholics Ineligible to the office, would be
removed.
with regard to the judges who had been
concerned in the administration of the
criminal law in Ireland her Majesty might,
II she saw cause, by order In council, ante
date the pensions of those particular judges.
| In future the judges would be appointed by
the Irish government, be paid out OF the
consolidated fund, and be removable only
on the joint address Of the two orders. The
eonstabulary would remain under the pres
ent terms OF service, and under their pres.
ent authority. The charge for the con-
stabulary was now e1 ,500,0 900 per annum,
and the speaker felt confident the charge
would be reduced, but for the present he
i proposed to relieve the Irish Legislative
body Of all expenditure for the constabu-
larry In excess OF Gl,000,0O0 per annum.
Ihe government had no desire to exempt
the police of Ireland, in reference to It's
| final position, from the ultimate control of
| the Irish Legislative body.
The speaker had no jealousy upon that
subject, as the care Of providing for the
ordinary security Of life and property was
the first duty OF local government.
With respect to the civil service, the
government did not think their case was
the same as that of the constabulary, and
the transfer of the civil service to the legis-
lative body would effect a great economy.
He, therefore, thought it would be wise to
authorize the civil servants now serving to
claim the pensions that would be due to
them upon the abolition OF their offices.
nrnVinQd fhaU nri mr. tf,
prevent Inconvenience from q rapid transi-
tion Of the service, and at the close OF that
time both parties should be free to negotiate
afresh.
That was all, Mr.. Gladstone stated, that
he had to say on the subject of the new
Irish constitution.
The proportion of the imperial burdens
which he had to propose that Ireland
should bear was one to II. He thought that
the now Irish parliament ought to start
with n balance to its credit; but the only
fund that 1t would have II left alone would
be the solitary E2O, 900 from the Irish Church
fund. He knew Of no way of providing the
necessary money except by carving II out of
this years budget, and he proposed that In
the future Ireland should pay one-ilfteenth
toward the imperial expenses. He went on
to speak of how much Ireland would gain
by exporting spirits to Great Britain, and
how much Great Britain would lose to Ire
other. AS the result OF careful inquiry, he
stated with confidence, not as an actual
demonstration, but as matter of certainty,
with regard to the far greater portion that
the Irish receipts would gain from Great
Britain sum that would amount to no less
total than el AGO. 900 per annum. He then
entered into an elaborate calculation OF the
total income and expenditure of Ireland, In
the course OF which he stated that the total
charge to Ireland AS an imperial contribu-
ton would he put ut f3, ,242 900 per annum.
He stated, us an Instance of the intense
Generalization OF the Irish administration
tliat while the post-office in England
ihowed large surplus, in Ireland it just
paid its expenses.
He estimated the total expenditure of
Ireland, including u payment as sinking
fund for the Irish portion of the national
debt, at g7 ,9fG 600 per annum against that
there was u total income of ES,350, 600, or
surplus to the good OF e404, ,0OO.
In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone said:
ask that We shall practice MS we have
very often preached, and that In our own
case we should be firm and fearless In ap-
plying the doctrine we have often incul-
Gated upon others-that the concession OF
local self-government is not the way to sap
and impair, but to strengthen and consoli-
date unity. ask that we should learn to
rely less upon mere written stipulations
and more upon those better stipulations
written upon the heart and mind of man.
ask that we should apply to Ireland the
happy experiences we have gained In Eng
land and Scotland, where course Of gene
rations has now taught us, not rs dream
or theory, but as matter of practice and
of life, that the best and surest foundation
we can find to build on is the foundation
afforded by the affections an convictions
and will OF man, and that Il Is thus by the
nf ha min hot fnx
than by any other method-we may be
enabled to secure at once the social happi-
ness, the power and the permanence OF the
EMPIRE"
Mr.. Gladstone resumed his seat amid
bursts of enthusiastic cheers, which were
sustained for several minutes. MIR. Glad
stones speech was three hours and twenty
five minutes in duration. He finished at
8 o'clock.
When the applause had subsidized Mr..
George Otto Trevelyan, who recently re-
signed the position of secretary for Scot
land, arose and, after eulogizing Mr..
Giadstone's speech, opposed the PROPOSE
ton of home rule. He said their was no
security offered for the money which
England was expected to pay to the land
lords of Ireland except the willingness of
the Irish farmers to keep up their install
ments. He preferred utter separation to
such q costly scheme as this would prove.
SPEECH OF MR.. PARNELL.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Trevelyan's
speech Mr.. Parnell arose and was received
with cheers by the Irish members.
After briefly replying to Mr.. Trevelyan,
paying tribute to the sympathy OF Ameri-
cans and Irish-Americans and stating that
during the last five or six months 1--WE have
succeeded In entirely gaining the sympathy
of the two great parties in America, the
Democratic and the Republican" MIR. Par
nell begged to thank Mr.. Gladstone for
what would not only prove a beneficial
measure from the Irish point OF view, but
which he (Mr. ParnelD believed would be
found to be of equal benefit to England.
The bill, nevertheless, contained blots
which the Irish representatives would do
their best to romove. One of these was to
be found In the financial proposals OF the
bill, which he regarded as very unfavorable
to Ireland, especially In regard to the
Irish tribute to the imperial exehequer. He
also complained of the proposition relative
to the two orders intended to constitute the
Irish parliament, on the ground that the
first order, consisting OF peers not subject
to the influence OF the popular vote, would
have the power Of hanging up measures de-
manded by the people and their represen-
tatlves tortwo or three years, On the whole
however, apart from these defects, he de-
lieved the measure would be cheerfully ac-
copied by the Irish people and their repre-
sentativas us n satisfactory solution OF the
long standing dispute between the two
countries, and as tending to prosperity and
pence in Ireland and to satisfaction in Eng
land. [Cheers.l
After n speech against the bill by David
Robert Plunkett, Conservative member
for the Dublin University, on motion of
Mr.. Chamberlain the debate was ad-
journed, Sir William Harcourt previously
stating that Mr.. Gladstone would move
tomorrow to give the debate precedence
over other matters.
MIR. Gladstone left the house 10 minutes
after concluding his speech. He was
affected by tho reaction after the intense
excitement of the day and was obliged to
retire to rest Immediately after dinner.
