out the Country.
Y LONDON, June 8.-Gladstone, 8. replying te
r Beach, made a long speech, concluding al
follows: Let US try for a lew moments te
look at it historically. The arguments
from the other side appear to me to rest
their principle in the main propositions on
the idea OF the profound original depravity
or incompetency Of the Irish people, but
there is another. It is the conscientious
conviction OF the gentlemen opposite that
when two countries associated, but not in
corporat"d, with each other, are in dis
turbod relations with each other, the rem
edy is to create an absolute legislative in
corporation. That, believe, is the doc
trine On the other side OF the house. They
believe dissolution OF such corporations
OF the political relations between these two
countries. do not deny that where there
is legislative Incorporation under the
same crown. Where thatcro is absolute,
such dissolution may be a means OF consti-
tuting a great country, as it was in the
case OF France. But what I say 10 this-a
true belief that. as proven by history, when
there are disturbed relations between coun-
tries that are politically associated
but not incorporated, the real rem
edy is to make provision for
civil Independence subject to imperial unity.
| admit that in cases such as when France
and Spain interfered in the case OF America
you can expect nothing but severance, and
severance with hostile feeling on both sides,
[hear. hearl bat that is not the case before
US. l ask for instance, where, apart from
4 s,,%o Son hvrk o& 81
acknowledgment OF local independence has
been followed by severance. (Cheers.] l
| am in recollection Of every one and I will
! show where severance did follow in the case
OF Belgium and Holland. The attempt to
make the Belgians conform to the ways and
conditions and institutions Of Holland led
to the severance. In the case Of Denmark
and the Duchies' attempt to do what the
gentlemen opposite wished to do in Ireland,
namely, to force Danish institutions and
ideas upon the Duchies, together with an
insufficient acknowledgement of their
ancient institutions it ended in the total
| loss OF the Duchies to Denmark They are
! now severed and incorporated in another
| political connection. But let us not look
| simply at the negative side. Where local
Independence has been acknowledged, and
legislative severance given in number of
ca ses, it has been made practicable to hold
the countries together which would not
have been SO held. The honorable member
opposite (Beach) has imprudently inter-
rupted me by calling out ''Turkey." I will
tell him that in the case of Turkey with it's
imperfect organization, where there has not
been violent interference in the matter,
nor the case has been driven to the point
OF foreign interference, local autonomy has
deure nc retio sub lapsa re1erH spes dan
aum." There has been no great day of
hope for Ireland; no day when you might |
hope confidently and definitely to end the |
controversy, till now, after more than |
ninety years, the long period OF time has at |
last run out and the star has again mount |
ed up into the heavens. What Ireland was
doing for herself in 1897 we at length have |
done. The Roman Catholics have been
emancipated after woful disregard Of
solemn promises, through twenty mine |
years-emancipation slowly, sullenly-not |
from good will but from abject terror with /
all the faults and consequences that will 1
follow that method Of legislation. rCheers.l
The second problem has been also solved |
and the representation OF Ireland has been |
reformed and / am thankful to say that |
the franchise was given Ireland together with |
the readjustment OF last year and that that |
make the success OF Ireland in her final ef |
fort absolutely sure. [Cheers.] We have |
given Ireland a voice and We must listen to |
what she says.
GENERAL sURPRRE.
The majority against the bill surprised |
even the Unionists. Several members sup
posed to favor the bill went into the oppo- |
sition lobby. The crowd outside attemptei 1 |
to mob Harrington when he emerged from |
the House after the division. It is sup
posed Sir William Blunt was the intermedi |
hot Do nd ho
the last election and he did undoubtedly /
lead the Parnellites to believe the Conser-
vatives would introduce Home Rule b Il.
Churchill is generally believed to be the /
member OF the Conservative party who
made the promise for his party. Eighty
five Parnellites voted with the Govern
ment. The eighty sixth, Capt. O'Shea,
whom Parnell insisted on having the league
elect to represent one division OF Galway,
walked out of the house and abstained |
from voting. About twelve Liberals refused
to vote on the division.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
LONDON, June 8.-The excitement during |
the discussion has had no parallel in the
Churchill first discovered that the Govern
ment was defeated, and by waving his hat |
and indulging in joyful demonstrations he
aroused the enthusiasm OF the members OF
the opposition, who rising, waived their |
ha ts and cheered again and again. When |
the figures were announced the noise was |
deafening a Parneffite challenged the vote
Connor called for cheers for the grand old |
man, which were given with gusto by the |
Government supporters. Sir william Har-
court and his companions rose and bowed |
to Gladsto e, who was somewhat embar- !
rassed The Parnellites called for the |
qroans for Chamberlain, which were given |
With shouts of TRAITOR and "Judas Iscar- !
iot." Chamberlain merely laughed. When
order was restored Gladstone rose white |
and trembling, and moved adjournment |
until thursday: Healy and O'Connor
again CHALLENGED the vote, saying they
would not offer any opposition, but wished |
to express their repugnance CT the conduct |
of many members Of the Gladstone party. |
During the hubbub, Gladstone, wearing |
hasgard look, was cheered by his sup !
porters.
The News (ministerial) says: ''Dissolu- |
tion has been rendered inevitable by last
nights vote. ParnelPs emphatic declara-
ton that Ireland would accept Gladstone's
hill as a final settlement will have WIDER
influence with the nation to-day than the
astute and minute criticisms OF Goshen. |
Considering the democratic spirit OF the ma.
tionalists. Parnell's declared opinion that
the laat provision creating the irst order in
the proposed IRISH Parliament salutatory
provision was significant. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach doubtless spoke the literal
truth, as far as he knew it, but we dld not
snnnose Lord Randolph Churchill always
taxes his advice. Gladstone's speech was
worthy of himself an the occasion The
whoie case is now before the country Tor
