Mr.. GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
IRISH LOClL GoTERNMENr MN
Opposed by the "Grand Old Man" In n Pow
crful speech-The Queens Birthday.
Foreign Affairs of Interest.

LoNDoN, May p. Mr. Gladstone made a
great speech in the House Of Commons to-
day against the Irish Local Government bill.
The Liberal leader was received with loud
and prolonged cheering 80 he arose to speak.
His address occupied an hour aud ten min-
utes IN its delivery, and was frequently inter
rupted by outbursts Of applause. IL was one
Of the Grand Old Mans most eloquent
efforts. and had an electric effect upon the
House. The Liberals seemed frantic with
delight at the fire and energy displayed by
their octogenarIan chief. while the Conserva-
tlyes listened with keen interest o. every point
made Oy the orator.
IGNOMINIOUs INEQUALITY.
Mr. Gladstone began by saying that the bill
stamped ireland and Ir-nmen with the brand
of most lgnomInious inequality as compared
with England and Euglishmen he bill
falsiied even the miserable and contracted
relics Of tue solemn pledges bv which tue
present majority WAS obtained by the Gov
eminent IA l-sf. Tho bill was one which ts
promoters found It expedient 10 press upon
the people of ireland for their acceptance by
menacing them with the horrors Of civil war

past for All the most odlous legislative prece-
dents and combined them al IN TINS one meas

Ireland as q generous iUlhlment of promises
made.
RESTRICTIONS UpON LBEEIT.
No selfrespecting man could serve on tho
Irish county councils under this bin IN view
of is monstrOus restrictions upon their
liberty of action. 10 sum up the bill was
branded IN every clause with tie stamp of
inequality. Every EVIL precedent Of the past
had been utilized by IT'S trainers IN order to
find provisions Lad enough fOrlt Everything

and everything bad had been inserted. The
bill embodied the refuge of political leglsa-
ton. II was a measure that no sell respecting
