LONDON, June 26.-In the house of
commons to-day debate was resumed
on Mr.. Morley's motion censuring the
government for its administration OF the
Irish crimes act. William O'Brien (Na-
tionalisD held that the plan of cam
paign never really troubled the people,
and that they approved it. Nothing that
had happened to individuals under the
plan could compare with the sufferings
of tenants without the plan. What had
happened to tenants that could compare
with the action of Irish landlords in
flinging tens of thousands of Nora Fitz-
maurices out OF their homes to meet the
worst fate? The disgusting claptrap
about crimes in Ireland was what Amer
lean politicians called the policy of
THE BLOODY SHIRT"
1t was policy of war and hatred be-
tween peoples who desired to live in
peace. The plan of campaign, so far
from being failure, was accepted now
even by landlords like Lord Masserene.
After two years of operation of the plan
of campaign there were 2S0 evicted ten
ants out of more than 10000 who had
fought and won under the plan of cam
paign. Cheers.] He could further state
that every one of these 2SO tenants was
ina comfortable home to-day, and every
man would yet come back to his
own home in triumph. [Cheers.]
Right Hon. Henry Chaplin (Conserva-
tive) said he did not wonder that O'Brien
hated to hear about the disgusting Incl
dents that had attended the leagues op-
preston of the people. Who were now
more responsible for the sufferings of
tain English politicians who only few
years ago were the worst foes of the
league? 1t might suit some to forget.
but everybody knew that if there was
one man in England who was more re-
sponsible than another for the
ATROCITIES OF THE LEAGUE
it was the leader of the opposition, who
seemed to forget how he had encouraged
them. [Cries of "Shame." Withdraw N
Mr.. Gladstone might haxezaf8Tgotten
what words he used about=the Parneiiite
chiefs, but that would not be attributed
to loss of memory through infirmities of
age.
Mr.. Gladstone, who upon rising was
much he was afflicted with loss of
memory through infirmitieS of age, he
hoped, for a time at any rate,
that he would remain able to cope with
antagonists of the caliber of Mr.. Chaplin.
What was more significant about the
state of Ireland than the fact that nine
teen out of eighty-siX Nationalist mem
berS had been sent TO prison? He ven-
tured to say that if they went to their
constituents all of these nineteen would
be returned by larger maJOritieS than
before, if only because they were suf-
fererS through the wrong-doing of the
government. The governments vote
might be against them, but their ulti-
mate appeal was to public opinion. The
cenSure motion was rejected-366 to 273.
Mr.. Gladstone said that those who de-
nounced the plan of campaign had to
meet the contention that the plan was
framed when parliament refused to meet
the necessities of the tenants. Recent
-land-cOurt decisions had shown that
the demands of the plan of campaign
were not unjust. The
CURSE OF CROMWELL
lived from generation to generation in
Ireland. Could it be supposed that the
people, who were aware that horrors
and atrocities almost incredible had
been done in the name of the law, could
consider the law IN the same spirit as
the judge? 1t was strange irony OF
fate that Mr.. Dillon should be lee
tured upon legality by Maj. Saunder-
son. who had threatened that if.parlia-
ment passed certain law he would
counsel violent resistance to it. Mr..
Dillon had much to learn before he ar
rived at Mai. SaunderSOn'S eminence.
Mr.. DiilOn'S influence in preventing
further bloodshed at Mltchellstown
might have been remembered by the
iudge when he inflicted upon Mr.. Dillon
the maximum penalty. MIR. Gladstone
then entered into a long account of the
Keliigeah case which he characterized
as scandalOuS and as bad as anything
that had happenad in the days of Judge
JeffrieS.
MIR. Balfour. upon rising to reply. was
greeted with loud cheers. He taunted
Mr.. Gladstone with abStaining from
bringing against the government in par
lament the accusations that he made
against them before popular audiences.
Mr.. Gladstone, he said, had confined
himself to single case. His comparison
of; the acts of the present Irish magls-
tracy with the conduct of Judge Jeffries
was
THE MOST SCANDALOUS ATTACK
that had ever been made in parliament.
FCheers.1 If they were to dismiss every
magistrate whose decisions were over
ruled they would find their hands pretty
full, Was it asserted that one innocent
man had been convicted? The fact was
that those who had been found guilty
gloried in their offenses, rather than de-
MED them. Mr.. Morley played hui
initiating part when he criticised iso-
lated acts of policemen and magistrates,
and at the same time supported the
policy of his allies, which involved in
fnitely more cruelty than had been
committed by all the magistracy
and police of Ireland. In refer
ence to Mr.. Dillon, Mr. Bal
four asserted that the murder of Con-
stable Whelehan was distinctly trace
able to his speech to the effect that he
would not tolerate land-grabberS. Was
! it political Offense to urge people to
destroy land-grabbers? Mr.. Balfour
concluded by contending that the gov
ernment had succeeded beyond their
expectations in suppressing
LAWLESSNEss IN IRELAND.
Whether they would be allowed to pro-
ceed he did not know, but he did know
that. the future of Ireland could only
safely rest on foundations of honesty,
liberty and law. [Cheers.
Mr.. Sexton, who ended the debate,
said that Mr.. Balfour's charges against
Mr.. Dillon rested entirely on the evi-
dence of one of the most infamous of
the governments paid informers. The
announcement of the result of the di-
vision was greeted with prolonged
cheers by the Conservatives.
