NO HOME RULE FOR ERIN
ARTHUR BALFOUR SPEAKS AT A
CONSERVATIVE RALLY,

The Differences Between the Con-
servative and Liberal Parties De-
clared More Profound at Present
Than in the Memory of Two GEN.
erstions-Stand OF the Unionists.
GLASGOW, Nov. 27.-Hon. Arthur ]. Bal
four, first lord of the treasury, was the
principal speaker at the conservative meet
ing held here to-day. Mr.. Balfour declared
very positively that Ireland would never
attain her desire to have parliament sit In
Dublin. Mr.. Balfour said that the diff
ferences which separate the conservative
and liberal parties are more profound
at present time than they have ever been
before in the memory Of two generations Of
British statesmen. He declared that during
the last five years the unionists had had 10
fight for principles which heretofore had
been supposed to be under the guardianship
Of both parties.
STAND OF THE uNToNIsrs.
The unionists, he said, would ever be
found on the side Of order and loyalty. They
would deal with crime promptly and effect
lively. They believed that society was
founded on certain principles of law and
morality. and that IL in obedience 10 politi-
cal induoents they relaxed their hold on
these princip they would do the country
o most profound injury.
FIRST DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Later on Secretary Balfour said that what
ever WAS the success of the governments
policy In Ireland it at any rate had been a
sincere policy. The first duty OF the gov
ernment was to see that the laws were
obeyed, and by wise administration aud
lavish expenditure OF money to endeavor
TO increase the happiness Of the people in
every part OF her Inajesty's dominions. In
conclusion, Mr.. Balfour declared that no
matter what the future might bring forth
it would never bring home rule to Ireland.
The Gazette announces that parliament
will re-assemble on Feb. 8, 1899.
THE AGRICULTURAL BILL.
Copyright, 1891. bU the N. Y, associated Press)
LONDON. Nov. 27.-Mr. Chaplin, chair
man of the board OF agriculture, has been
charged by the government to undertake
the framing Of their agricultural bill for
encouraging laborers and small farmers in
Great Britain to acquire holdings, measure
approved at the conservative conference In
Birmingham, which concluded its delibera-
tions Wednesday. The cabinet as yet ro-
mains undecided as to the scope Of the
measure and the proper period for its iutro-
duction. Official circles apparently do not
attach great Importance to the re-
fusal Of the Birmingham conference TO pass
Sir Albert Rollites motion declaring
in favor of the ministers intention to intro
duce at the next session Of parliament bill
for the extension of local government in
Ireland. The habits Of obedience kept up
in the conservative ranks are relied on as
safeguard by the ministers IL they persist In
giving irish legislation the frat place on
their programme.
| OPPOSED TO A CHANGE.
| Mr.. 9oschen and Lord Harrington, 10 is
known, oppose any departure from the
governments Irish policy, or delay about
Mr.. Balfour's promised local government
bill. Mr.. Balfour himself privately indi-
Gates that although bound to bring the bill
for ward he has no strong love for 10, while
Mr.. Chamberlain would prefer to see tho
parish councils bill and his ''old age PEN
sionn scheme have precedence. The course
Of the government depends on what pitch
the conservative agitation against Irish
legislation may attain.
Mr. Gladstone has intimated that IL is not
his desire TO address the mass meeting of
the agricultural conference at the National
Liberal Club. The delegates, now limited
In number to 300 are composed Of farmers
and laborers, representatives, county COM
moners and rural candidates for parliament.
