-. DENOUNCED THE DISHONESTY
Of attempting to stimulate Iris h industries
by liberal doses of English public money.
He said the Irish people bitterly refused to
sell their national birthright for the mess
of pottage. which the government offered.
TParnellite cheers They did not want an
influx of capital. for there was plenty of
that in Ireland. They wanted to be allowed
to help themselves. conservative cheers
and laughter. The government allowed
the Irish to build .harbors and drain land
and generally develop the resources OF the
country when they; did not allow them to
reap; the profit. ECheers. The Irish party
repudiated the proposed fraud on the Brit
ish taxpayer. Let the government which
obtained flee by Misrepresentation
would not say lying-pursue their own
way and establish a wholesale system OF
bribery and corruption. Cheers Mr..
Parnell here read his amendment to the adj
dress and proceeded. He said that the
JUDIcIA RENTS WE'RE TOO HIGH.
He accused the government of encourag-
ing landlords to evict by the wholesale,
knowing that agrarian crime always fol-

pie: the tenants knew that but for moonlight
raids Lord Kenmare would not leave roof
over the heads OF his tenants. The Irish
would pc patient, but the indictments held
out by landlords, who tried to exact impOS-
sible rents, would bear fruit and might pro-

clamor for coercion and force the govern

believed that coercion would come and very
severe coercion, too; coercion that would
not stop at criminals, but attack political
opponents Ii he might Offer suggestion.
he would urge that judicial tenancies should
be fixed at three years instead of fifteen
years, and that there should be revision
of rents in accordance with prevailing
prices. In conclusion he said: The Irish
will never submit to a government not their
own. Irish cheers. The question of an
autonomous government will always be
fixed in the hearts of the Irish people"
Prolonged cheers,
Rt. Hon. David Plunkett, first commits
sonerer OF works, denied that the judicial
rents are too high. He said they were fixed
during period and on the basis of failing
prices. The tendency of the past eighteen
months had been in the direction of de-
crease in the number of eYictions. The
policy of the government was to extend the
act OF 1881 and its success largely depended
upon the restoration of social order. He
concluded by saying that the responsibility
taken upon himself by Mr.. Parnell to-
night was an awful and terrible one.
MR.. GLADSTONE
upon rising was loudly cheered. He began
by accusing the government of having taken
all unusual course in going so far outside of
the speech from the throne. He thought
the government should have reserved the
main lines Of their measure until the meas
ures themselves could be presenter. But
he was unwilling to complain of the action
of the government He intimated that he
would take no part in the divisions on Mr..
Parnell's amendment. because he depre-

policy of the government as an absolute in
version of the policy of the late government.
Instead of giving self-government the pres
ent government proposed that England
should govern Ireland to a greater extent
than it did at the present time. The late
government had proposed that the rents and
revenues of Ireland be taken as security for

would be equally vigilant concerning the

that there was no. power within parliament
ever to carry into effect such fatal prop

with having become the leader of

he was delighted ut having any share OF

The National League Meeting.
DUBLIN, Aug. 24.-Lord Mayor Sulli.
van presided to-day over the fortnightly
meeting of the national league held here
In his address he declared that Ireland was
prepared to accept, Mr.. Gladstones home
rule bill as settlement of the controversy
with England. The Tories, however, de-
cined to give the Irish parliament. OF
course Irshmen would not refuse to receive
whatever good things the Torres might Offer
short of Mr.: Gladstoue's proposed benefac-
ton, but the Tories might as well know
now as well as later that the people OF
Ireland would never be contented until they
had parliament of their own. In con.
clusion the mayor advised Gen. Sir Red.

which he was recently appointed com
