LONDON, July 7.-Wilfred Blunt. husband OF
Bvrons granddaughter who volunteered to con-
test Birmingham for Home Rule against Mr. Cham
berain, sends THE TRIBUNEs representative the
following statement Of his reasons for opposing the
Blr,ning CHAM leader
In answer to your question where Mr. Chamberlain's
plan Ireland unsatisfactory one Will give you
nv ideas about 1t In few words do not believe In
Mr. bona dss in bringing his proposals
forward. II is notorious that he only adopted his
of local government for Ireland because Captain
O'shea persuaded him last year that such scheme
would be accepted by tho Parncites ami approved by
the nation. Mr.. Chamberlain likes to take tho lead In
everything and have things his way. and whom he
found that his announcement OF for the ills OF
Ireland recaved with Parnete dcrson he resolved
to overthrow the Parnetes. so. too, when Mr.
Gladstone took no the real irsh iaoa
without consulting Mr.. Chamberlain Mr. Cham
borlaiu took offence with tho &c. o. NJ"
and resolved to overthrow him. Mr. Chamberlain
seldom studies political matters very closely and he Is
gifted by nature with narrow and parochal mind.
believe little in his sympathy with the people and
great deal in his sympathy with himself
becond-Loca self nent is no cure for the Ills
Of Ireland for the excellent reason that 1t would not
fulfil the Irish their National aspirations. The Irish
want to manage their local affairs but they want
something infinitely more namely, the dignity Of being
nation. The of for Ireland is to entrust
people with the sole responsibility OF its own we'll
being SO long as the law OF ireland is made In Eng
land and executed by Government responsible to Eng
land instead Of Ireland the law will not be respected
Look the state OF things in Kerry. man Is mur'
dered he sold turf to boycotted family. All
world i at the act all the world would like TO
the thing put down or punished, yet such
is the detestation In which the English law Is
held and the Dublin Castle Government that not soul
will give Information. Murder is had in Ireland but
the English Assze Court is worse.
.'Under Home Rule" have heard the Kerry farmers
say, should want police and put an end to moon
lghters in week.. Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme allows
no responsibility and for that is altogether use
less
rhrd-To give local seif-governmsnt the Irish
ties without enfranchisng the Dublin Executive would
be merely TO make confusion worse confounded Fancy
full local power being vested In the people uncontrolled
except by the Imperial autherity The first made
by the people Of their local sofgovernment would be
to oppress local landlord minority for popular feel
Ing would remain strongly against them There would
be either ia In Parliament and they
oud be rather encouraged create confusion that
the end OF national freedom should be more
surely obtained. This is perfectly admitted
by tho Home Rule members themselves.
Local self government can only be SUCCESS
wnero people are satisfied with the law and the Gov
ernment under which they livci na word where they
are loyal. But Ireland will never be loyal 10 Dublin
Castle as at present constituted"
Fourth-Mr Chsmberains sche fails because 1t has
no chance whatever Of being ia up by large
lion OF the English people. Home Rule tho democracy
are beginning understand and they understand LORD
sasbury's doctrine of coercion, but Mr. Chamberains
view only understood by the upper middle classes at
best, and 1t must long remain mere theory. do not
argue whether in theory union OF the two countries
under common law and enjoying the common
berties might not be best but 1t does not suit tho
II not practical scheme either regards Ireland

Flftn-The Irish question is class question and will
eventually be settled by appeal to class Lord Sails
hurry not sorry fight tho battle OF privilege In Ire
land instead OF here as he has better hope OF winning
through Ignorance or the ard the noPopery
feeling which Is still not quite dead ana which he has
enlisted on his side. Nh Chamberlain Will assuredy
