SOLVE THE IRISH QUESTION.
Lord salisbury's Speech at the Meet
Inc of the Primrose League.

LONDON, April 21.-The annual meeting of
the Grand Habitation of the Primrose League
organized in honor of Lord Beaconsfield,
with the purpose of propagating the Con-
servatiye doctrines he advocated, was held
at Covent Garden Theatre this afternoon.
An immense assemblage of Conservatives,
including many Of the best known men and
women in England, was present. Lord Sal
isbury presided. He sketched the origin
and growth Of the Primrose League, saying
that it now numbers a million members.
Lord Salisbury said the Irish question was
one which this generation must solve. He
said that, thanks to Mr.. Balfour, there had
been three years of resolute government in
Ireland, and the country was now enjoying
a state of peace and prosperity 1t had not
known for years. The London Times, Lord
Salisbury said, had done an enormous SCR
vice to the community at large in showing
ParnelPs connection with the most violent
Irish agitators. The speaker said he should
regard Mr.. Parnelps success as one of the
greatest blows the empire could receive. and,
he added, the success of the anti-Parnellites
would be no less injurious.
