governments home rule bill did not
satisfy the people OF Ireland there will
be an end to it. He believed in the SINGER
ity of liberal assurances. John Redmond
supported Asquith's motion. He could not

In the lords. Earl Dsnbeigh moved and
to the speech from the throne. Earl Kim
berly complained that no policy was shsd-
owed in the speech. Lord Salisbury ad-
nitted there is nothing in the speech. The
government had no measures to present to
parliament. They had now arrived at a
ercising a p%rerogative peculiarly its own,
of selecting the men whose measures would
come afterwards. When those measure rs
are presented there will be no difficulty
in criticising them. The duke Of
Devonshirs said the present government
would maintain Office till it became certain
that the various sections of the opposition
would combine to maintain a new govern
pent. Lord Herschell maintained that no
declarations of policy coming from a liberal
government ought to be given until the
liberal government is constituted and the
address approved.
