woes so great, and whose hopes have so
often been doomed to disappointment, the
mlnd Of the people should be confined to
the position of their own country? An
essential principle to the Irish people has
become control of their own affairs.
sun the bill provides that Ireland
snail not be excluded from imperial
affairs. Clause 90 provides for a recall
OF the representatives in both houses Of
the Irish Parliament before Parliament
can proceed to the alteration of a state
upon which the countries do not agree.
Another clause provides that on certain
conditions the Irish Assembly may vote
sums OF money for purposes excluded
from Its ordinary eognlzance.
CONFIDENCE IN IRELAND.
he trusted that should Great Britain
become involved in a great war, when
ireland would be exposed to the common
danger, the Irish assembly would re-
spond to message from the crown by VOt-
ing money to prosecute the war. [Oppo-
sition laughter, Though abiding in the
should not sit in the Imperial
Parliament, the government was
willing to meet the difficulty by providing
that when it was proposed TO alter the
taxation of Ireland relating to customs
and excise duties, Irish members would
be enabled to appear in Parliament and
share in the debate. [Cres of "Hearw

ing to appoint a joint commission from
the English ana Irish ParlIaments which
would meet from time TO time to consider
some questions of imperial or common
interest.
NOT THE SUCCESSION.
No great question such as the success
slim tho oh n foil rFnhor- ha
discussion of this secondary authority,
but many questions, such as treaties of
commerce, might require direct cOmmu-
nicatiOn between both Pariiaments. He
would therefore propose, on behalf of tue
government, some plan OF this kind. He
proceeded to explain that the government
renamed undecided as 20 the conditions
under which the Irish members, or an
irish commission, should appear in the
Imperial Parliament. The government
did not consider this to be a vital point.
In his opinion il the Irish members came
back in any number it would be neces-
sary to devise a system of election.
NO JEALOUSY.
He would certainly have no jealousy of
Irish members if they should reappear in
their force. He would rather have them
amply than scantily and jealOusly treated.
In conclusion he declared that the man
object Of the bill was to toabolish, root and
branch, the discomfort prevailing in Ire
land and to restore social order by the
removals, not merely of the symptoms but
of the causes of that discomfort.
If the opponents of the bill had an al
tentative policy, what was it? he asked.
If Lord Randolph Churchill should IN
dertake the task of settling Ireland, what
did he mean to do. Was his plan that
proposed by the loyalists in Belfast last
November? The English government
might be daring but not so daring as to
undertake to reconstruct the Irish govern
ment without touching the legislative
difficulty.
HARTINGTON's CHANCE.
IfLord Harrington had plan, let MIN
declare it. He appealed to Lord Harting-
ton TO state his solution of the Irish prob
lem. They had reached a crisis in the
history of the nation. The path of bold
ness was the only path of safety. [Cheers.
All men ought to know their own mind,
and ought to tell it. The fate of Ireland
could not be cast inIO the lottery of poll
tics. ParnelIite cheers. he had been
told that he was steering Ireland to GER
tain ruin. Let the opponents show a way
! to escape. Let Lord Harrington, in mOv-
ing rejection of the bill, trace visible or
palpable road through the darkness.

ENGLAND's CHANCE.
The members of the House have before
them a great opportunity to close the
strife OF seven hundred years, ave and of
knitting bv bonds firmeT and higher in
character than heretofore the hearts and
affections of the Irish people, and of ce-
menting the noble fabric Of the British
nation. Loud and prolonged cheers.
Mr.. Gladstone was followed by Lord
/ Harrington, who on rising was greeted
with cheers. He asked il Parnell had
1 ever stopped short of asking for complete
! independence and restoration OF Ireland
/ to her place among the nations of the
world. He Harrington feared that the
/ Premier had settled the matter without
I mature consideration. With reference
/ to submitting an alternative measure, be
| failed TO remember a single instance in
which Mr.. Gladstone had taken the
course he now asked the dissentients
to take, who we're unprepared
/ to suggest in what direction the
measure before the House could be
remedied He believed that the conclus
sion made tonight would not meet the
demands of Mr.. Chamberlain. In con-
cluslon he moved that the bill be read
six months hence.
The debate was adjourned until Thurs
day,
