BALF0UR'S STATEMENTS.
THE sEcRETARY,s MANiPuLeTIoNs
TO SHOW DECREASE OF CRIMES.

Mr. Morley Tears Away the Veil and
Points Out Balfour's Errors-EngIand
and Powers-The Crown Princes
Condition.
LONDON, Feb. INN. Balfour resumed
debate on the address in reply to the
queens speech, commented on the
changed tone of Mr.. Gladstone. as evil
denced by his speech. Where, he asked,
was the impassioned orator who had en-
deavored to infiame the public against the
1aws Mr.. Gladstone i~nterruptingly said:
''There is not an atom Of foundation for
such assertions as the honorable gentle
man has put forth" Mr.. Balfour CON
%tinuing, recalled the incidents to resist
ance to the law contained in Mr.. Glad
stones speech at Nottingham, and ex-
pressed q wish that all of the opposition
speakers would change their tone, as
Mr.. Gladstone had done. Grave refec-
tions, he said, had been cast upon the
Irish magistrates, but of seyenty-three
magistrates who come in for a share of
opposition communication Earl Spencer
had appointed or approved the appoint
ment Of sixty. He quoted statistics
showing a considerable decrease of crime
under the coercion act and said that the
statistics of ~boycotting especially showed
the result of the act. During the year
ending with July, 1887, $3.50 persons had
been boycotted, whereas, he total num-
Der from that time to date was twenty
eight. Boycotting had been particularly
successful in Glare and Kerry, where the
league had been suppressed. He repro
bated and deplored thu vituperation of
the government and of persons, which
had been INDUCED in by certain members,
charaeterizing their action in this re-
spect ss a blemish upon their political
life. After citing other figures and
additional instances of unreasoning
opposition to the governments policy,
Mr.. Balfour concluded, by claiming to
have proved that that policy had been an
unqualified success.
MI. John Morley, replying, said the
house could infer from Mr.. Balfour's re-
marks the temper with which he had adj
mfnistered the coercion act. The period
showing a decrease of crime included six
months, during which eviction notices
could not be executed. The dirainution
OF boycotting, he asserted, was due to the
changed feelings and sense of RESPONSE
hiity Of the Liberal co-workers with Irish
justices ia Ireland. If theIrish aspirations
were ever destroyed the effects of coer-
cion you'd become painfully apparent.
Nh. Edward Harrington characterized
Mr.. Balfour's speech as q choice example
Of the gentleman's mendacity. The
speaker called Mr.. Harrington to order,
and the latter withdrew his expression at
the command of the chair. Continuing,
Mr. Harrington commended that the gov
eminent Iad manipulated the figures
~pusp9rting to show decrease of crime in
Ireland, and asserting the magistrates
sndeavor to irritate the people. On mo-
ton Of Mr.. Parnell the debate was adj
journed.
