sALIsBURY's SPEECH.
Lord Salisbury said he felt that there
position he did-that of the last person
TO speak against the home rule bill in
course Of the present session. But al
though it was position of much distinC-
ton. it had many Inconvenience In
particular the ground of debate had al
ready been so fully occupied that there
was little left for him to say. Throughout
the debate one question was constantly
present in his mind. Why the govern
ment introduced such a billl On this
point the House had received no sufficient
enlightenment What appeared TO shine
visibly through all arguments was that
home rule was a policy of des-
pair. The liberals had said: you
have failed we don't know how TO
succeed; but we will try something that
nobody has tried before What moral
or political right had any government TO
embark on such an experimental policy

conflicts, which, during seven centuries,
English rule had rather increased than
diminished

siye heat il the chamber.
The Earl of Kimberly, lord president
Of the council and secretary of state for
India, briefly replied to Lord Salisbury.

The lord chancellor put the motion for
the second reading of the bill. He caused
some merriment by CRYING: 'I think we
have it," Very loud and determined was
the rival cry. The nOn-contents have
it, The House divided at midnight, and
the result was rejection Of the motion by
