a meeting at the grand habitation of the
Primrose league, Lord alisbury said:
"Home rule would place hostile island
on our flank, and subject to infinite
damage and to diSgraceful abandon
ment those in Ireland who have ever
fought for our cause. In America and
other countries an organic change must
receive the sanction of the people; but
here electors vote Oh various issues, and
there is 10 means of distinguishing
their verdict on home rule.
He claimed that his promises of six
years ago that Ireland would be paci-
fed if given general consideration in
regard to her material wants and a firm.
impartial and continuous administration
of the law had been fulfilled. "The
spirit of disorder" he said. "had grad
ually cowed before the spirit of the law.
Peace has so restored Ireland that boy
cOtting no longer exists; still there are
men in Ireland who have resolved 70
undo this work and place the spirit of
lawlessness above the spirit of the law.
ParneIi's Power.
Mr.. Parnell, on whom, now gone, do
not wish to pass any criticism, was un-
doubtedly much more formidable Op-
ponent than any man he has left be-
hind, TCheerS He had the power of
bringing the American element into the
agitation, with all its wealth of lndivId-
ual 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 portion of the people of Ire
land and the people of England which
have unhappily existed for many gen
eratiOnS.
On the other hand, we see. the opin-
ion of the lOyalistS of Ireland UNI
changed. listers conviction of Its
dangers has increased every year. l
do not know of any symptom more men-
acing than the recent declarations of
Ulster leaders that they dread being
put under the feet of their hereditary
and their irreconcilable enemies.
Lord Salisbury said he utterly re-
fused to recognize the inhabitants of
the southeast portion of Ireland as typ
Ical of the Catholic church. He was
the more justified in saying so because
he know that the ope-though. of
course, observing in a strictly political
matter the utmost timpartiality-s strongly
condemned the immoral agencies where
by the agitation in Ireland had striven
to succeed.
What He Condemns.
Though he had not condemned the
Catholic church, he mad condemned and
would always condemn those who,
holding high spiritual authority and
heauing great spiritual organization,
use those weapons for purely secular
objects wherein no spiritual concern
exists. He would condemn, whether
Catholic, Anglican or Calvinist, men
who thus inflicted a deep wound on
civil society and fastened a profound
stain upon the spiritual weapons they
used. [Cheers.]

Il do not believe in the unlimited and
unrestricted power of parliamentS any
more than in such power of kings. Par

which, while technically within the

HarcOurt's View.
LONDON, May 6.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, in cOnvcrsing with the agents
recently stated that the elections were
certain to be held at the ope ming of
July, following the Ulster convention at
Belfast and the all Ireland U nioniSt
convention in Dublin in June. The
Orange lodges, Sir William asserted.are
privately subscribing money for the
purchase of arms to carry out the
threats to rebel rather than to submit to
an Irish parliament. Whether the
Tories really and sincerely believe that
an armed conflict will follow the estab-
lishment of an Irish parliament, they
assume the sincerity and cultivate the
belief that civil war would be the out
come of home rule.
In the house of commons liliS after
noon Dir. Tanner, Nationalist, asked
whether it was true, as reported in the
papers, that Lord Salisbury. had prom
iSed that in the event of the home rule
bill being carried he would call out the
OrangemeD to resist the mca sure by
force of arms, and would do his best to
prevent the forces of the crown from
being employed against men opposing
the decision of parliament. When the
outburst of laughter which the ques-
ton excited had subsidized. Mr.. BalfOur
rose and said he had not seen the speech
alluded to, and therefore could not ans
wer the question.
The Chronicle says: Lord Salisbury's
speech will be regarded by Tory par
tisans as a strong one. 1t was trumpet
call to action at the coming election. By
every thoughtful and impartial person,
however. 1t will be pronounced the most
reckless utterance that ever proceeded
from the lips of a responsible statesman.
