laughter that the powers given shall not

remedy in your hands.
EVERYWHERE ACCEPTED.
We have had this measure accepted
by all the leaders OF every section OF
national feeling In Ireland, also outside OF
ireland, in America, and in every coun-
try where Irish people are found. Cheers.
We have not heard a single voice raised
against the bin by an lrishman. rCheers
and cries Of 4'Oh."] Certainly not by any
Irishman Of Nationalist opinion. OF
course, there are sections among the
Irish Nationalists just as there are
sections in the great Conservative
party. In fact, az far as it is
possible for q nation to accept q measure
cheerfully; freely. thankfully and without
reserve, / say the Irish people have shown
that they have so accepted this measure.

THE IRISH WORLD.
Even the terrible Irish World news
paper, which has not been on my side for
the last i've or six years, says that the
Irish race at home and abroad has signi-
fed its willingness to accept the terms
~ aff hvV
Cheers, / say that as far as the Irish
people can accept this bill they have ac-
cepted 1t without any reserve as a
measure which may be considered final
settlement of this great question.
Upon the question Of protecting the loyal
minority, Mr.. Parnell asserted that the
scheme OF separate Parliamentin in Ulster
would fail because the Nati0nalists have
majority even,jn Ulster, aud that the
first act Of the Ulster Legislature would
be to unite Itself with the Dublin Parlia-
ment. Seven .twelfths Of the Irish Pro-
testants live outside Of Ulster, and that is
another reason why the Ulster Legislature
would not effect its desired object.
EVERY FRESHMAN NEEDED.
Besides, Mr.. ParnelI said, every Irish
man would be needed In the Dublin gov
ernment. These Protestants would form
healthy minority. We want all
creeds and classes in Parliament.
L''Hearw "Hearp] We cannot cOnsen +
TO look upon single Irishman as not be-
longing to us, however much
we recognize their great ability.
We admit the ability OF the
Protestants and their influence.
| We cannot admit that there is single
one Of them too good to take part in the
work. We admit that small proportion
fear the treatment they will receive at the
hands OF the Irish Parliament. We shall
do our best as we have been doing TO al
lay the fears of this small section. When
this bill becomes an act we shall not cease
from the work Of conciliating the fears Of
this small section OF the Irish people.
PLACING THE BLAME.
Theirs is not the shame aud disgrace
of those fears. The shame and disgrace
belong to the gentlemen and Lords belong
ing to the English political parties, who,
for the selfish interests of those English
political parties, seek to rekindle the
almost expiring embers OF political and
religious rancor. Home rule cheers.
y
The question of the retention of the
Irish members at Westminster is one
which l shall touch upon very slightly.
This difficult question requires very seri-
GUS consideration. When Mr.. Gladstone
has produced his plan we shall, without
binding ourselves beforehand, exam
inc it candidly with desire to
see in it elements which will not
iniure the permanency of the settlement.
We have gone through it all before and
know the sort OF coercion there has been
during the last five years. You will re-
quire even a seYeTer and more drastic
measure of coercion than you have now.
You will require everything you have had
during the last five years and more be-
sides. Home rule cheers.
THE COERCION CRIMES.
And of what sort has the coercion
been? Renewed home rule cheers.1
don't say this to inflame passions or en-
bitter animosty; but you have had, dur
ing these five years, suspension OF habeas
corpus in Ireland; thousands OF your
Irish fellow subjects have been i'm
prisoned without a specific charge,
many for long periods - twenty
mOnths-without trial, without any in
tentiOn TO try them. Home rule cheers. !
You have had the right OF dOmicie in
fringed at any hour Of the day or night (;
YOU have fined the innocent for the
guilty; you have taken power to expel
aliens from this country; you have re-
newed the Curfew law and the blood
money Of your Norman conquerors;
YOU nave HdSktu but pIt6ss btlLtu anu
suppressed newspapers, manufactured
new crimes and Ohenses, applied fresh
penalties unknown oyOur law. All this
and much more you have done In the last
five years. Home rule cheers. All this
and much more you will do again. Loud
opposition cheers. The provision Of the
bill terminating Irish representation
here has been yehemently attacked.
HALFWAY HOUSE.
Mr.. Treyelyan said there was no balf-
weY house between separation and execu-
tive autonomy for the Irish people. ! say
there is no halfway house between grant
ing legislative autonomy 10 Ireland and
dipenfrancbsement and dlsseyerance OF
that country. But l refuse 10 believe that
those evils will come. I am convinced that
there are a sufficient number OF members
who Will disregard the appeal which has
been made 70 their passions. and that
when the numbers Of the division have
been tod tonight II will be known that
this Parliament In the nineteenth CEN
tury was wise, brave and generous
enough 70 agree 10 give peace and hap
piness 10 suffering Ireland. Loud cheers.
,GLADsToNE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Glads1onoNfollowed On arising he
was loudly cheered. lie expressed his
pleasure at having listened 10 the mas
terly exposition. 81 cannot call ID less, Of
the member from Cork. Loud cheers
and opposition laughter.l feel n strong
conviction that the speeches, couched
I'm tone marked alike by sound
statesmanship aud far-seeing moderation
