Parnell Talks.

| LONDON, March ij.-Ine 81. james
hall WAS crowded with people this eve
ming anxious to hear Parnell's speech
Morley presided. The committee in
charge were compelled yesterday tc
suspend the issue Of tickets for the
meetidg. Parnell received an ovation.
He expressed his gratitude and said
he felt sure his countrymen In Ire.
land, America and Australia would be
equally glad on hearing Of this recep-
ton. He would not enter into the
details of the charges and allegations
against him. He had not said his last
say on the subject but wished to re-
serve his last words for the witness
boz aud house Of commons. [Cheersl
The commission has been ascandaloui
waste Of money. He continued: "Why
do our political opponents 60 to al
this tronble to attempt to throw dis.
credit upon representatives Of ireland
and necessarily upon the cause they
represent and their allies? Well,
think the plain answer is, becans,
this country being remote from Ire
land, and the people of England no,
being In contact or communication
with, and not understanding the real
wishes, thoughts and dispositions ol
the people of Ireland, 1t is compare
lively easy to lead them estray on any
political question In Ireland. [Cheers. ]
Tories know that they cannot humbuR
you on one Of your own questions, 90
they allowed their domestic and Inn
perial policies, questions you under
stand full well, to be swaysd by those
Presidential considerations to enable
them to avoid vote censure upon any
English, Scotch or imperial matter,
but not so with Ireland. They can
humbug-at least they have been able
up to the present day-and hoodwink
you upon the Irish question with the
utmost facility. So IL happened that
the Tory party which in 1885 by the
mouth of Lord Cornarvon promised
us an Irish psrliment in 1867 turned
right around and renewed their policy
Of coercion and produced forged letters
a. proofs Of the criminality Of the Irish
members. (Cries OF "shame.")
think We are entitled to ask all ths
thinking, reflective men and womer
In England TO consider this. Is Il
right that the future and liberties o
Ireland should be dependent upon th'
casual publication Of the forged letter
by the Times on the morning Of th,
great division? (Cries of "no.") I
has been admitted on oath BY tn
manager of the Times that the publ
cation was purposed to affect division
[Cries Of "shame."] Now let n
come to the question Of the gov
ernment Of ireland. The lant
question, for instance, 10 only one ex
ample Of the bungles every English
government makes In its attempt :,
rule Ireland from Westminster. / d.
not say that the land question is aI
Irish question, but bring u forward q
most valient example of the unfor
tunate In the capacity Of an Englisl
parliment to do justice to Ireland.
Referring lengthily to the history o
the land question and Improvement
made by tenants, and the fact tina
tenants had built their own houses
the speaker continued: "You EnglIsl
men and women ought TO reflect whel
you read of forcible resistance in som
cases by Irish tenants againgt arme
force, that II IL not real resistance be
cause IL amounts 10 such resistance q
o fly might make to an elephant abou
to crush II under Its foot, [cheers an
laughterl but when you hear thes
things you must reflect that after q
these people are being expelled frol
homes they built themselves an
which are their own property. tboug
the law has not yet efficiently protec
cd that property. Mr.. Psrnell CLOSE
his remarks by saying: We are no
on the eve Of great popular upheav'
movement which will not subsid
until you have enabled your gres
leader to carry through the legislator
of the empire . measure which wi
give Ireland all legitimate contr'
over her own future, her own Interest
and her own welfare without an
shadow Of harm or III 10 your ow
greater interests. Parnell resume
his seat amid loud and pfolonge
cheering.
