10 tnat manifesto. The Irish people had
uorne with exemplary patience suffering
oI most grieVOus character, and was ~
10 oe supposed that such things could
nave been without leaving any trace or
mark on the character of the people2
HIS COMPARISONS DEFENDED.
Having defended and justified his pre-
Vlous references to analOgles for what he
proposes as in the cases OF sweden and
Norway and Austria and Hungary. Mr..
Gladstone proceeded TO argue that the
fundamental idea OF those who had at
tackedt the home rule matter was that
tue Irish people would necessarily do
wrong, thar the administration Of the
country would necessarily be changed,
Cries Of ''Hear. Hear"l. In regard TO
/ Mr.GOschen remarks concerning America
Mr.. Gladstone said it was true
that the northern States had
carried their point, but" he added,
"when they had the South at their feet
what did they do? They gave every
southern State a measure OF autonomy.
Loud Parnellite cheers. Such measure
we are about to ask for Ireland"
VETO POWER UNLIMITED.
In regard to questions "a to the power
ofveto proposed by the bill, MIR. Gladstone
stated that there was no limitation to
that proposition, and in reference TO the
income tax, that would necessarily be as
separate in Ireland as it would be in
England. OF the bill generally, he said it
proposed TO give to the Irish people rea-
sonable satisfaction OF their demands
without initiating the example
set by the former government in the case
Of America. The wants Of Ireland were
to be considered ia relation to the fact,
whetherit would be harmful to others
that they should be granted. He ridi-
culed the fear that had been
expressed as to further demands
on the part OF the Irish members if this
bill were passed; aud as to the question
of there having been no mandate for this
measure, he cOutended that inasmuch as
there had been no mandate for coercion or
for maintaining the law, so no mandate
was necessary for the proposal to strength
en- the means or maintaining the law.
CRITICISMS CONTRADICTORY.
He compared the criticisms on the bill,
and pointed out that no one speech agreed
with another; and, speaking OF the meas
IRE as plan, he remarked that il might
| be improved, but at any rate it held the
field, as also did the subject. Loud
cheers. The bill. he said, was produced
under circumstances of great pressure,
| but he contended that the time had come
when it was necessary for Parliament
attempt to establish a system of Irish
laws under an Irish Parliament, or
whether they should struggle on as before,
! leaving England and Scotland To famine
Of needful legislation and Ireland TO a
continuance of social disease and internal
! discord. Loud and prolonged cheers
The motion that leave be given to in
troduce the bill was put by the Speaker
| and agreed to without division, amid pro-
tracted and enthusiastic cheering.
! Mr.. Gladstone stated that the second
reading Of the bill would be fixed for
| May 6.
| Mr.. Gladstone stated in the House of
| Commons this afternoon that he would
announce the terms Of his proposed Irish
land purchase bill Friday.

THE OPPOSITION DENOUNCED,
The Newcastle Chronicle says the OppO-
sitlOn TO Mr.. Gladstone's home rule bill Is
the same as that which the American Col
Onists cOwed in 1872. 1t basely smuggled
the union with Ireland into existence
eighteen years after this. and 1t allowed
the bitterness Of the emancipation trouble
to terment towards rebellion for an entire
generation. It is an opposition
says the Chronicle, which never con-
cedes anything until IL is no longer able
TO withhold It. Its main spring is the
traditional and deep-roOted prejudice Of
the English and Scotch towards their Irish
neighbors, and this prejudice itself is
partly racial, partly political, and largely
religious.
