Nothing that has yet been done in
the BRITISH. House Of Commons this SEES
sjt,n Gao be said to have an important
bearing on the Irish question. 1t the
Tories desire to keep up their record
and conrs Il continuance of ar3stocratlc
support they will have to devise some
new means of torturing the Irish PEG
pie. Last session tt.ey forged two wea
pous--Closure and Coercion-for the
suppression OF ffea speech IN Parlla'
inert and to load Ireland with chains.
The irish Butcher Or Coercion bill OF
last Session will long ba remembered,
tho FIRST items Of which were put down
to the debit account OF the Government
at Youglla, aud hIitehelstown.
The keynote OF the legislation Of The
present session Will be to provoke tha
Irish 10 perpetrsste outrages, which as
the past evidences they VII! not com"
mis unprovoked. So far this policy
has not succeeded. The party OF claw
and ORDER committed more murders In
ons day at MitcbelstOVn than were
committed Throughout the rest Of Ire.
land during .ti,e year.
At one time tllere was a feeling ca
jsting in some quarters that the Gov
.ornment woui,i consider the interests OF
the Irish people fos the purpose OF pro
longing their lease Of power. If suca
proved to t,e Ghe case we doubt not but
ar. Farne] and his party would gladly
inset yhen ;hem on Fair and equitable
grounds, for pye]udlces or names can
never stand in the way when an oppor-
tunity IS presented Of supporting sound
practical legislation for Ireland. But
ii is now certain that this present Coy
eminent will not afford Mr.. Parnell
such an opportunity. The power OF
privilege will be exerted to the utmost
to further crush the aspirations OF tbs
psopae, upon whom tho Tory rulers
are forcing q life and death
struggle for the preservation Of the
most elementary principles Of freedom.
The Tories have denied the people the
right toliye and the right to speak, and
it is probable that tue bulk Of the legls.
lation OF this session will be devoted TO
the furtherance of this object. Ia he

said that they obtain from the people

the suffering masses the means by

Is IRELAND RIOE OR POOR.

It is a sufficient answer to those dis
ingenious critics who scofed at the
idea of Irish poverty because there was
a slight rise in the Irish Savings Bank
that such rise proves little more than
the inability OF the Irish to find any
safer or better investment OF their capt.
ia! than that last resort--a savings
bank. But il they are not content with
this, we have only to point to the re-
turns of the Local Government Board,
which proves beyond doubt that Ire
land is getting poorer year by year. In
1859, out Of population OF six millions,
III ,;5o4 went into the work-honse, while
in 1886, out of q population of less than
five millions, the number was Bic, l65.
The poor relief returns show even a
worse state of things. In Connaught
alone nearly one-fourth- .947 out Of
500, O0O--were in receipt Of relief. These
statistics alone form a weighty argu
meut in favor Of Home Rule,

TWO NOTABLE SPEECHES.

and Mr.. John Morley in the British
House Of Commons On : thursday OF
last week arc notable for two reasons.
The first is the challenge CT Mr..

the second is Mr.. Morley's comment
On Balfonr's silence throughout Che
terrific charge of Mr.. O 'Brien. Follow.
ing is brief synopsis of the two
speeches as they reach US By caoIe:
William OBrion resumed the debate
On the address in reply to the Queens
speech, He said BaIfour had failed to
smash the Irish organization or TO
weaken the spirit Of the Irish people, Or
degrade chem in the eyes OF the world.

tended the Crimes act, the operation OF
! which proved it one Of the most lscrri-
bic measures ever directed against hu-
man liberties. REGARDING his own in-
prisonment, he said he did not feel
wounded nor in the least degraded.
With all his jaunty bravery. Balfour's
conscience was not as easy as his own,
While he Was i'll prison he resented and
Felt keenIy the letter which Balfour
Wrote conveying the stealthy and loath-
some insinuations that he sheltered
himself whist in prison undes the plea
Of iElness. Now they were faca to face,
and he challenged the Government TO
produce the prison doctors TO prove tho
truth Of the insinuation (i'arnellites
cheers. 1t had been asserted that the
imprisoned leaguers had tried Il, secure
distinction between the treatment Civ
en- imprisoned members or Parliament
and that given i'm prisoned peasants,
but there was no foundation for ths
assertion. What the imprisoned nem-
beers complained Of was tbs moral tor
cure inflicted upon them, FROM which
ordinary criminals ars exempt. When
the Government asked them voluntarily
to acknowledge their kinship to crin-
finals they answered.: We will die first;
you will have TO aud out the difference
between representative Of the crimin-
al classes and Irish political prisoners,
even ii it takes q Coroner's jury to an.
nounce the distinction. REWRITING to
the failure of coercion he declared the
Crimes act had not stamped cut a sin-
gle village club.
Mt. Morloy then took the floor. He
commented on Balfour's silence re-
gartllDg OBrien's charges, though he
had risen once to repel them (cheers).

Disguised almost ,he entire temperance,
elements Of both parties. From both
Democrats and Republicans I heard mos.
positive statements THAT hereafter they
would vote the straight Prohibition ticket
They say this liquor question must be set
tied, and they plainly sec that neither Of
the old parties is sincere in dealing
with it.
In an interview with Hon. A. A. TAYLOR,
the eS-candidate of the Republican party
for Governor of Tennessee, he gave me the
impression that the best leaders OF his party
would next year make q straight psohibi-
ton plank the piece do resistance of their
platform menu. The Democrats are also
likely TO make strong bid, q la New York
Republicans, for the temperance vote, with
strong local option and high license
scheme. Neither of these exploded e1-
pedients is calculated to quiet the Prolibi-
tionists, however. The past tergivcrsa-
lions of both parties in Tennessee have
made every true Prohibitionist ready With
the reply to them, "Iimeo Dunaos ct
doaa tercntas!" There will be Prohibi-
ton music in the air and fire in the woods"
in Tennessee this year.
There is great need just now in the
South Of full and free discussion of the
principles of the Prohibition party. In
the coming campaign we should have
many OF our best speakers canvass these
Southern States. 1t will prove most valu-
able seed-sowing for the future harvest.
l hope Chairman Dickie will carefully
study the Southern situation, and see to it
that all reasonable efforts are made to push
the work of the party in this direction.

Think Over 1t.

Governor L.rrabee, OF Prohibition Iowa,
called attention i'll his recent message to
the decrease of criminal cases in the
courts. Mayor Hewitt Of New York about
the same time, calls attention to the ac-
emulation Of cases of violation of the ex-
else laws, and suggests the creation of n
new court to deal with these cases. How
is that for contrast between license and
D rob .bition?-Yhe Voice.

Disfrancllisement OF Lawless Gin-Mill-
ers the Logical Outcome.

If Prohibition, or even restrictive laws.
are to be enforced in large cities OF other
communities where the liquor traffic domi-
mates in politics, it will be found necessary
to curb the political power of the liquor
tratiicker. He will not only have to be dis
qualified for Office, but disfranchised also
This step will be but the logical result Of
outlawing his trade. Sooner or later in
the history of the coming conflict, this dis
armament Of the tratticker will be proposed.
