which is constitutionally presented 70
the country-in this great anomaly
peril to which 1t is exposed. (Cheers).
II will not go so far as some OF my
friends. do not think shat the peers
should be treated as Pariahs. do not
think that the fact thata man was born
in a particular position should deoar
him from the higher opportunities OF
serving the State, and do not sYmPa-
thize with the views of certain depu-
tation which recently visited the Kt.
Hon. Edward Majoribanks, Baron
Tweedmouthl though agree that there
is great Inconvenience when the premier
is not in the House of Commons.
II am not one Of those who think
that the peerage should be considered
A STIGMA AND A BAR.
But while / remain premier you may be
assured that no premier in the ranks
will endeavor more steadfastly to do his
duty to the party" Loud cheering J
Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt, Chancel-
lor of the ExcheQuer, followed. He
said that the enemy fattered them
selves that the Liberal party was going
to drop home rule. This language OF
the Premier and the presence of the
Rt. Hon. John Morley, as Chief Sscre-
tary for Ireland, was the best answer
they could give to this suppoSition.
Continuing, Sir William remarked that
Mr.. Gladstone's last speech in regard to
the House of Lords was an Inheritance
for the party. and asserted that this
question would prove to be the great
est subject of the future.
The McCarthytes assembled at p.
m. in committee room No. 10 OF the
House of Commons, and engaged in an
animated discussion of Irish parliamen-
tary matters. Ultimately Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy was reelected Chairman OF
the Irish Parliamentary party.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
assembled shortly after 4 o'clock. The
Irish members gave a most enthusiastic
welcome to Mr.. John Morley's an
nouncement OF the evicted tenants bill.
After the addresses in reply 10 the
Queens speech had been proposed and
seconded, the Rt. Hon. A. j. Balfour, the
Conservative leader, paid graceful
tribute to Mr. Gladstone, saying that
every member owed Mr.. Gladstone a
debt of gratitude for having maintained
through great parliamentary and social
changes a high standard OF public life.
Referring to the promised reinstatement
OF the evicted tenants, the speaker
warned the government that the Con-
servatives would oppose any proposal to
give persons who, for political purposes,
had defied the law portion Of the pub
lie funds. Any such measure, Mr.. Bal
four concluded would be a menace TO
the future quietude OF Ireland and
would put premium on agitation.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
Liberal leader, opened his reply TO Mr..
Balfour with a glowing tribute to Mr..
Gladstone. Sir William said he was
glad Mr.. Balfour admitted the present
tranquility of Ireland, although he re-
fused to admit that it was due TO the
Governments policy. The Government
intended to adhere to the bills they had
promised, and If they were not passed
this year they would be passed In 1895.
THE GOVERNMENT WOULD APPEAL
to the country when they had placed
the whole Liberal policy before it and
when they had placed the country In
position 10 Judge OF the conduct of the
conservative commons and lords re-
spectlng the governments plans.
GCheers and counter cheers |.
The country would ultimately Judge
of the conduct OF the House Of Lords
in regard to proposed measures, and he
believed that home rule would not suf-
fer because it was hung up. Home rule
was coming.
At AIS o. m. the House Of Lords re-
sumed consideration Of public business.
Baron Swansea moved the address in
reply TO the speech from the throne.
Lord Salisbury, after eulogizing Mr..
Gladstone, said he had no doubt that
the House would find Lord Rosebery to
be a Jealous defender of the legislative
privileges of the House of Lords.
Lord Salisbury dwet upon the omis-
sion from the programme OF any refer
ence 10 any internal legislation and es-
pecially marked the absence OF the
home rule question. That be said was
the issue of the highest Importance
and ought not TO have been laid aside
for other subjects.
LORD ROsEBERRY SAID
the Government did not desire to eVade
or shirk the question Of home rule for
Ireland, but explained that IL had not
been mentioned in the Queens speech
because il would not be introduced dur
ing this session.
Referring to ireland, the Premier
said the present satisfactory condition
was due 10 remedial measures and the
promise OF home rule. OF course the
decision rested upon England, but he
believed the conversion Of England TO
home rule would not be difficult task
when the Irish people snow bY their
conduct that they are worthy OF 1t. In
conclusion Lord Rosebery said that Ire
land would never be contented until sne
had obtained home rule. The House
then adjourned.
Mr.. GIadstone's Great Feat.
