Lord SelbOrne. Liberal, Finds Fault
With Them At Great Length.

LONDON. April 23.-Lord Selborne, liberal, in
letter to the Times, attacks certain features
of Mr.. GladstOnes home rule bill. He pro-
nOunces the measure hopelessly faulty, from
the fact that not one of the restrictions pro-
vided excerpts from the powers of the proposed
Irish legislature any matter relating to the
lives liberties and properties OF the queens
and the police in Ireland" says Lord Selborne,
will be the servants of the Dublin government
Referring to the fact that Mr.. Gladstone's meas
ure excludes from the powers of the Irish legfs-
lature all matters relating to the army and
navy, Lord Selborne says there is still no rea-
raised without passing bill. Lord Selborne
also strongly attacks the land purchase BILL
He asks, upon the ground that S15O,OOO 900
will be required to buy out the Irish landlords,
how the shaTers in the first S5O, 200, 900 prOvi-
ded are to be selected. And what position those
cluded from the first sales will thereafter
occupy, first, with respect to the collection of
their rents, and second, with regard to pros
poets of being bought out at all? Does Mr.. Glad
stone, asks the writer, expect that these land
lords will have their rents paid in the mean
government after Mr.. GladstOnes will pass an
act to add 81 ,OO0, 900 to the national debt in
order to do Justice to the remaining landlords
OF Ireland, when in the meantime the
government OF Ireland has passed into
the hands OF the nationalist and q
S5O,OOO,UOO, has perhaps proven a failure.
If the question Is one OF public honor, justice
and good faith, provision ought to be made
now to discharge the whole obligation; other
wise 1t Is cruel mOckery towards the land
lords" The letter concludes with the state
