LONDON, June 2S.-Mr. Parnell was
forty-four years old to-day, and in hon
or of the occasion grand banquet was
given tonight at the National Liberal
club. Covers were laid for seventy
guests. Justin Mccarthy presided.
Mr.. Paruell, reSpoding to toast to his
health, eulogized Mr.. Mccarthy as the
beau ideal of an Irish member.
to whom he could wish no future dearer
to his heart than to enter soon with
himself the portals of a parliament on
College green, He congratulated his
hearers upon the Gladstonian alliance,
and expatiated upon the constitutional
policy of the Irish party. There was a
time in the parliamentary his
tory of Ireland, he said, when
traitors throye and prospered. Now,
with perfect franchise, which Ireland
knew how to use. no Irishman, how
ever great his services, could attempt to
betray his country with any hope of
success. Nor could the government
bride either Ireland or her members. If
they bribed the latter tomorrow,
they would find a fresh crop equally
unpurchasable. He claimed for the
ParnelliteS the credit for the present
disOrganiZed condition of the govern
ment and for the great change that had
been wrought in English
Opinion Regarding Ireland.
He excused the Irish members who
were absent at the recent critical di-
vision on the ground that it was as
much of surprise to them as to the
Conservatives. 1t would have been

it was notorious fact that
the government opened all the
Irish members letters, and a whip
would thus have defeated its own
object. Nevertheless it was worthy of
remark that the Parnellites were pres
ent in greater strength than any other
party. 1t would be unjust Oh his party
to withhold his testimony as to the man
ner in which the members of the Irish
party had uncomplainingly performed
Wreir duty for the past five years.
He was convinced that they had
not much longer to wait for the harvest.
The government would continue for
a time to drag out wretched and
sibility of a life hereafter. Whatever
they attempted he saw no hope
for them but extinction. Therefore
the prospects of Ireland were bright
in the hands of Mr.. Gladstone. The
members of the Irish party would ac-
cept no Offices unless conferred by their
fellow countrymen. In conclusion he
proposed toast to Chairman Mccarthy.

four, in a speech, prophesied that the
1actious obstruction of the Gladstonians
would result in shelving all attempts at
temperance reform for twenty years to
come. as no party would dare TO touch
the subject. The government had
been accused of mismanaging the
business of parliament, but never
of mismanaging the affairs of
the empire. 1t seemed to him that the
punishment was visited upon the wrong
shoulders. An 'intelligent foreigner
who should be told that the country's
finances and defenSeS were in the best
during this so-called barren session,
had passed useful reforms and re-
duced taxation, would be astoniShed to
hear Sir William -Harcourt's
unfounded charge that the prop osed en-
downing of puDlicanS had served to
brighten the governments closest sup
porters in the press. He attached no
Importance to this agitation. The gov
eminent had redeemed all their prom
ises and looked with confidence to
new lease OF power.
