OPPOSITION TO GLADSTONE.
The Scottish Members Against the
Land Bill.

LONDON, April 19.-The detection of
Scotch Radical members OF the House
Of Commons has been growing since
the land bill was made known. 1t is
estimated that twenty. five will vote
against Mr.. Gladstone and that more
will absi ain from voting.
Duncan McLMen, former member
for Edinburgh and a prominent
Radical member since 1920, denounces
the whole scheme. He is Mr.. Bright's
brother-in.law.
Mr.. Bright's hostility to the scheme
is pronounced. He considers the
terms of purchase intolerable. 1t is
reported that he urges Mr.. Gladstone
to appeal to the country if the home
rule bill passes by only small major
ity.
At crowded NEE ting of the Glas-
gov Chamber Of Commerce to-day
the proposed Dublin Parliament was
denounced as dangerous to the
commercial interests Of the kingdom.
The speakers were Liberals and were
formerly Gladstonians. An active
campaign will BIS conducted during the
Faster recess, in which Mr.. Chamber
lain, Mr.. Trevelyn, Lord Harrington,
Mr. Morley, Mr.. Goshen and Lord
Spencer will take part The Conser-
vative leaders will hold aloof, desiring
to leave the front of the oppos ton to
the Wings. Some of the Conserva-
tive members, disconnected because
their members decided not to take
part in the campaign, sent protest to
Lord Salisbury, who, however, de-
clined to change their course.
Mr.. Brands motion against the sec
ond reading Of the home rule bill has
been tabled, under an arrangement
with Lord Harrington, who will make
the motion in place of Mr.. Brand.
Sir Charles Dixie has informed the
Electorate Committee that he will
make full statement at a public
meeting on May Sd if the Queens
Proctor fails to reopen the Crawford
divorce case previously.

The EIght.Hour Agitation.

CHICAGO, April l9.--The Eight
Hour Committee of the Trade and
Labor Assembly, to-day issued a cir
cular to all trade and labor aEsocia-
ton Il Ch'cAPo and vicinity, an
nouncing that May LIST had been set
apart for general inauguration of the
eight-hour system; that as the Trades
Assembly OF Chicago, was the most
influential body of organized labor
west of New York city, it was natural
that the working people and public
should hold it responsible in
great measure for success or
failure of the eight hour
movement; that there is auniform I'M
derstandiDg among the different
unions to accept a corresponding re-
duction in wages il necessary to bring
the eight.hour system into operation,
and advising all trades which have
not yet completed their arrangements
to elect suitable committees and pre-
pare for a mutual solution of the ques-
ton at the time mentioned.

Mr.. Blaine has come out of his retirement
to give voice to the prevailing American SEN
timent on the question of home rule There
may be those who will feel that he should
have preserved the silence he has maintained
since the Presidential election. To all such
he has a ready and complete answer. He
holds positive opinions. and he holds, like
every other citizen, the right to express them
whenever and wherever he pleases. As he
is not concerning himself about personal or
political consequences, there is no reason why
he should not exercise the fullest freedom of
speech.
His exposition of the meaning and of the
rightfulness of home rule is the clearest and
the best that has been made. 1t has the sim
pie directness and the pungent force which
distinguish all of Mr. Blaines speeches. He
brings the subject so plainly and so sharply
before the hearer and the reader that thew at
once grasp its true character. Mr.. Blaine
believes that Home Rule is right and just in
itself as matter of principle. and that be.
yond this it is the only practical policy of
pacification for Ireland, and he seeks, BY in
telligent explanation and apt illustration, to
make everybody understand the reasons
which underlie both of these truths.

it was not sectarian strife, but struggle TOT
freedom and good government See nov
often in the past the leading man IN lrlsn
agitation has been 8 Protestant. Dean Swift,
Molyneux, Robert Emmett, Theobald Wolf
Tone. Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Henry Graf
tan, and l might lengthen the list. These
patriots carried the Irish cause high above
aud beyond all considerations of sectarian
difference and founded it on the rights OF
human nature, as Jefferson defined the Amer
lean cause in our own revolutionary period
Applause. Thus led and thus guarded the
Irish cause must prevail. There has never
been a contest for liberty by any portion of
the British Empire composed of white men
that was not successful in the end, If the
white men were united. By union the thir-
teen colonies gained their independence. BY
union Canada gained every concession she
asked upon the eve of revolution, and there
is nothing to-day which Canada could ask
this side of absolute separation that would not
be granted for the asking.
] have only one more word to say, and
that again is a word of advice. The men of
Irish blood in this country should keep this
question as it has been kept thus tar. out of
our own political controversies. (Great ap-
plause) They should mark any man as an
enemy Who seeks to use it for personal or
for partizan advancement (Applause.) To
the sacredness of your cause conducted in
that spirit you can in the lofty language of
that most eloquent of Irishmen, Edmund
Burke,-(applause) "You can attest the re-
firing generations, you can attest the advanc-
ing generations, between. whom we stand as
link in the great chain of eternal order"
Conducted in that spirit YOU can justify your
cause before earthly tribunals. and you
can carry it with pure heart and strong taith
before the judgment seat of God" Long
continued applause.

MIR. Blaine's Speech on the Irish
Question,
In PORTLAND, MAINE, JUNE lsr.

His Honor the Mayor of the city called the
meeting to order and the Governor of the
State presided.
Your Erceiieney and FeiioW Citizens
Directly after the published notice of this
meeting received letter from venerable
friend in an adjacent county asking me. as
was announced to speaS,to explain if could.
just what the Irish question" is. | appre-
ciate this request. for on ali issue that calls
forth so much sympathy and so much senti-
inent among those devoted to tree govern
ment throughout the world, and evokes so
much passion among those who are directly
concerned in the contest, there may be dan
ger of not giving sufficient attention to the
simple elementary facts which enter into the
case,
What then is Home ruler Ii is nothing more
and nothing less than that which is enjoyed by
every State and every Territory of the United
States. Applause. Negatively it is what
the people Of Ireland do not enjoy. In \ par
lament of go members Great Britain has
56I and ireland has l03. Except with the
consent of this Parliament, in which the
Irish members are outnumbered BY more than
five to one, the people of Ireland possess no
Legislative power whatever, They cannot in
corporate u horse railroad company,or autho-
rize ferry over 4 stream, or organize u gas
company to light the streets of a city. APP
ply that TO yourselves, Suppose the State of
Maine were linked with the State of New York
in joint Legislature in which New York
mad five members to Names one. Suppose you
could not take a step for the improvement of
your beautiful city nor the State organize an
association of any kind, or adopt any measure
for its own advancement unless by the per-
mission of the overwhelming majority of the
New York members. How long do you think
the people of Maine would endure that condi-
tion of affairs? And yet, that illustrates the
position which Ireland holds with respect to
England, except that there is one aggravat-
ing feature in addition which would not ap.
ply to New York and Maine namely the cen
turtles of oppression which have inspired the
people of Ireland with deep sense of wrong
ON the part of England.
If the Irish question were left to the peo-
nile of the Upited States to adjust I suppose
We should say adopt the Federal System Let
