inc, TO Attack the Catholics.
TounoN. May 6.-Lord Salisbury pre-
.;1ot at a meeting of the Grand Habitation
-, the Primrose League, held at the Covsnt
Garden theater to-day. The theater was
beautifully decorated and was crowded with
.ristoorsts. Lord Salisbury delivered an
address, IN which he declared that great
,olitical struggle was impending. 1--WE
have. be said, $50 deal with proposal for
a great organic change. The conflicts or
,bs classes are shutting out from mems eyes
the great issue-integrity of the empire"
CIVIL WAR LOOMING UP.
Lord Salisbury said that the opinion OF
.ba lovalists in Ireland had not changed.
The conditions with which Ulster had to
struggle appeared clearer every day. He
had been accused Of attacking the Catholic
ralieion. but nothing was further from his
tboTUhts. What Ulster had TO dread was
heinE submitted TO the despotism of her
foes While parliament had the
RIGHT TO govern Ulster it had no right to
seIl the province into slavery. Any attempt
10 use English military to subject Ulster to
Archbishop Walsh would rend society in
neace. but of civil and religious war. Lord
Salisbury concluded by declaring that
unless the conservatives and lib
eral-uniopists exerted themselves
TO prevent that hideous picture from be-
coming a realty they would produce re-
suit. which would not secure home rule, but
q state Of things which would destroy the
credit and enfeeble the power Of England
ia every quarter Of the world.
HOSTILE ISLAND.
Lord Salisbury said: Home rule would
place O hostile island on our flank, and sub
iect to infiuite damage and to disgraceful
abandonment those in Ireland who have
have ever fought for our cause. In Amer-
lea and other countries an organic change
must receive the sanction of the people; but
here the electors vote on various issues, and
there is no means Of distinguishing their ver-
dict on home rule" He claimed that his
promises Of six years ago that
Ireland would be pacified if given generous
consideration in regard to her material
wants, and firm, impartial and continuous
administration of the law had been fulfilled
The spirit of disorder" he said, "has
gradually cowed before the spirit Of law.
Peace has so restored Ireland that boycott
ing no longer exists. Still there are men in
Ireland who have resolved to undo this
work and place the spirit of lawlessness
above the spirit Of law. [Cries Of shame. u
PARNELL's POWER.
'Mr. Parnell, on whom, now gone. l do
not wish to pass any criticism, was un-
t1Uubtedly a much more formidable oppo-
nent than any man he has left behind.
GCheers.l He had the power of bringing
the American element into the agitation,
with all its wealth of individual energy and
financial assistance. Now he is removed,
the agitation seems to have fallen back into
the old groove, and resembles very much
the conflicts between a portion OF the
people of Ireland and the people of
England which have unhappily existed for
many generations. On the other hand, we
see the opinion of the loyalsts Of Ireland
unchanged. listers conviction of its dan
gers have increased every year. / do not
know of any symptom more menacing than
the recent declarations Of the Ulster lead
ers, that they dread being put under the
feet OF their hereditary and lrreconcilable
enemies"
DON'T ATTACK THE CATHOLIC RELIGION.
Lord Salisbury said he had been accused
OF attacking the Catholic religion. Moth
Ing, he declared, was further from his mind.
he utterly refused to recognize the inhab-
Nants OF the southeast portion of Ireland as
typical Of the Catholic church. He was
more justified In saying SO because he
Deserving In strictly political matter, a
most impartial attitude, strongly condemned
the immoral agencies whereby egitators in
Ireland had striVen to succeed. Though he
mad not condemned the Catholic church he
had condemned and would always
condemn those who, holding high
spiritual authority and heading g great
spiritual organization, use those weapons
ior purely secular objects wherein no spir-

ULsTER's DREAD.
we were told that there was nothing
70 dread. What Ulster dreaded was being
put under the despotism Of her hereditary
loeS. W as there worse fate for any man
than to be thus placed, especially if the
uespot represented an hereditary enemy, in
Splred by the bitterest hostility? There
JUuld De nothing more cruel than to place
Cbter In such a position. All the COM
