GLADSTONE OBJECTS.
Mr.. Stanley moved a resolution simply
thanking the queen for the speech ad-
dressed by her majesty to parliament.
MIR. Fulton (Conservative) seconded
the motion.
MIR. Gladstone said change in the
form of address in reply to the queens
speech appeared to proceed from tine as
sumption that only single amendment
could be made under the new
form. anxious as he was to
expedite business by preventing the dis
cussion of topics not mentioned in the
speech from the throne. he felt that the
difficulty of thus contining the debate
had been greatly increased by Smith 8
announcement of the governments in
tention to take the whole time of the
house until the government bills were
read a second time. Many members
would not be willing to permit
THEIR FORMER PRIVILEGES
to be SO curtailed. Moreover the gov
eminent had avoided reference to some
important matters. They were made
to understand that there existed nothing
in the differences with the United States
regarding the Behring sea that was
likely to interfere with the continued

events that had made deep impression
upon the mind and heart of the country,
TO be treated with silence? Although he
did not expect to find in the speech
from the throne any reference 10 the
painful statements that had been
made regarding the Emin relief expedi-
ton, he desired to know whether the re-
latious OF the government towards the
expedition had been such as to make IL q
duty Of the ministry to take steps TO as
certain what truth there was in the state
ments that compromised the
REPUTATION OBJ THE ENGLISH PEOPLE
for humanity. Referring to Ireland,
Gladstone said 1t was unfortunate the
government were not content with the
insertion in the speech of the words stat
ing the improved conditi of the coun-
try, but likewise thought it necessary to
com plimsnt themselves about the cause
of the improvement, wherein the MEM
beers of the opposition were bound to ex-
press dissent. The list OF measures
which had been put as a postscript
to the speech placed the government
in position of no responsibility regard
ing them. They were told that the min
istrv had prepared a bill proposing local
government for Ireland. Would that
consoIinR assurance satisfy the country
Was the house prepared to wait indeh-
nisely upon the convenience OF the gov
eminent IN order 70 learn how thay in.
