The English Parliament again has a
big fight in progress over the inevitable
Irish question. A bill has been intro.
duced to appoint commission to inquire
into the london Times charges against
Irish members, these charges being chiefly
contained in that journals series of arti-
cles entitled Parnellism and Crime. 1"
Mr.. Parnell and his friends wish TO limit
the scope OF the inquiry so as to prevent
the wholesale mud-slinging that the
Tories would like TO inaugurate. The
government refuses TO specify the nature
OF the charges, and so the debate becomes
very acrimonious. on Tuesday the Tories
were thrust into very uncomfortable
position by the charge that Mr.. Walter,
the proprietor Of the London Times, was
the man who had been consulted by the
government in framing the bill, and that
his word was equivalent TO command
by the reigning party. Lsbouchere and
Gladstone made it warm for the govern.
ment leader, Mr.. Smith, but they were
all finally voted down by the brute force
of government majority. But the end
is not yet.
