He Believes That Home Eule For Ireland
Will Come In the Near Future.
LONDON. May 11.-An address signed by
3, 17J dissenting ministers was presented
to Mr.. Gladstone yesterday expressing
their sympathy with him in his efforts to
reconcile England and Ireland. In reply
to the address Mr.. Gladstone sal I that dur
Ing the present session, the Parnellites,
DESPITE the pressing needs Of Ireland, had
refrained from urging their claims and had
assisted the Government to expedite bust
ness. Whether or not Parliament was
employed at this or that given time
in discussing Ireland, 1t was Ireland alone
that truly held the key to legislation. The
Government knew that the Nation was with
home rule and therefore guided the affairs
Of Parliament so as to delay the time when
a Ministry would be in power, pledged to
home rule for Ireland. The majority In the
House of Commons thought they could 60
on for five years. They put this against
his life as an old man, but the life Of an old
or young man would not affect the final
settlement. [Cheers. Justice would be
done in Ireland. Ere long the National
sentiment would find means TO assert ITSELF
The Tories plumed themselves upon being
the defenders OF law and order. Instead
OF maintaining order the Government has
promoted murderous breaches OF the law.
Mr.. Parnell was as much devoted to the
maintenance of law and order as any one.
Neither he nor Mr.. Parnell indicated the
plan Of campaign. The Governments con-
duct had created the plan of campaign by
making the law odious to the people. The
object Of the Government seemed to insult,
exasperate and degrade the Irish. AS soor
as the terrible facts regarding the suffering
In Ireland were brought home to the up
right minds of the people OF England they
would unite to redress the sad errors Of the
past. (Cheers.
