BRITISH WANTS.
At the same time it would be necessary to
deal in 1898 with a sensible portion of British
wants, the demand for which had grown
accelerated. [Cries OF "Hear, hear.nl
He reminded the house that the liberals
had been vainly trying to pass various
| measures Of reform while in opposition.
| Speaking broadly these represented the
essential character of the liberal policy and
In conjunction with, or rather In subjection

Ireland had received the distinct apDroba-

Referring to the amnest of Irish prisoners
Mr. Gladstone said it was impossible for
other than responsible ministers to give any
| pledge either for revision or remission OF
sentences. In regard to eviobed tenants he
expressed hope that during the autumn q
| lords and tenants would obviate the neces-
sity for such legislation as would become
inevitable II no arrangements wore made.
ENGLAND's GIANT POWER.
In concluding his speech Mr.. Gladstone
| recurred to the conservative argument that
| the Irish majority was trying 60 cOerce
| England. He held that such was the
strength Of England in relation to the other
kingdoms that she could never be ooerced
by them. She had giants strength, but let
her not use IL like q giant. It would be
undue reliance in the power and
strength OF England against other
members OF the federation in forgetfulness
of the fact that in the long run moral force
would predominant over material force. On
that predominance depended what should
| be the first object of their desires, as IL was
their daily official prayer that union OF
hearts and sentiments, which constituted
the truest basis Of strength at home, and
| good fame throughous the civilized world.

BALFoUR's REPLY.
Mr.. Balfour followed Mr.. Gladstone. He
maintained that the house lhad q right to
know before intrusting the government TO
the liberals what their policy was. especially
when the party upon which Mr.. Gladstone
| relied was broken into at least three divis-
ions, each owning a different leader. Re
| ferring to the policy of the present govern
] ment Mr.. Balfour said that that would be
! judged by historians. Assured as to what
the verdict would be he would neither an
ticipate nor defend it.
Mr.. Balfour protested against Mr.. Glad
stones describing the influence Ireland bad
| exercised In recent years on British politics
as derived from moral considerations. I'm
moral considerations, he said, was the right
phrase. Mr.. Gladstone's conversion to home
| rule was not due to moral forces, but to
material party considerations. Referring
to the coercion policy Mr.. Balfour reminded
the house that Mr.. Gladstone In 1855 pro-
posed to retain the coercion law with the
assent Of Sir g. o. TrevelyAu, Lord Spencer
and other colleagues.
THE VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE.
In nregard to the proposed vote of no conf
dence, continued Mr.. Balfour, the government
might be in a minority, but what was the
| majority! Had that motley group the con-
| fidenoe of the houses Hear, hear.n]
| The government, seeing the existing cir
cumstances, had a right to review the situa-
ton. The division Of the opposition In sec
tions with different aims could not be left
out of account. Considering the fact
that the Irish members would be kept at
Westminster and that an English majority
might find itself at the mercy of combi-
nation of an English minority With the
Irish members, 1t was clear that England
had as much interest in home rule as Ire
land had. They had right to insist that
| one Of the parties to the existing
partnership objected to its being
| dissolved. Unfortunately for all parties
| Mr.. Gladstone's allies were his masters.

and those who had not been squared, and
what demands had been made upon the lib

| HARRINGTON ANXIOUS.
Mr.. Harrington said he had listened 20
| some OF Mr.. Gladstone's remarks with
| anxiety. bic felt Dound 10 warn tne HDer-
ais that some questions required immediate
attention. He regretted Mr.. Gladstoues
scant dismissal Of the case of the evicted
| tenants They had borne the brunt Of the
battle and had made the greatest sacrifices
| for their class He did not think their case
| presented an insuperable difficulty. Again,
| if the amnesty question was neglected, it
would cause fresh agitation and fresh
| trouble. II the liberal party was wise it
| would give specific pledges TO satisfy Ire
| land on these matters.
Edward James Saunderson conservative,
member for North Armagh, made banter
| ing speech in which he said he wondered
| what Mr. Redmond would think Of Mr. Glad
stones threat to proceed with the Newcastle

ment intended to do, but what Archbishop

lament by an Irish priest
Mr.. Aisquith said Mr.. Saunderson was
sitting on the lips OF an Irish volcano.
