FOR HOME RULE.
Lord Rosebery Will Adhere to
MIR. Gladstone's Plans.
The New British Premier Outlines His
Policy aud Incidentally Attacks
the House of Lords In
Speech.
LIBERALS PLEASED.


LONDON, March THE opening OF
parliament was accompanied by dec
laration from Lord Roseberv which
sets at rest all suspicion of his sttitude
toward home rule and the house
of lords. At meeting of lib
erals in the foreign Office at noon
the premier outlined In terms
OF great earnestness and directness a
policy with regard to Ireland which
win satisfy the most exacting home
ruler, while his characterization of the
house of lords was sufficiently hostile
to disabuse the minds of the chamber
of all hope of reconciliation between
commons and peers.
The declaration Is received on all
sides among the liberals with un bound
ed enthusiasm. The fear that Lord
Rosebery would lay aside the home
rule bill and make terms with the
peers was not confined to the rad
icals. 1t existed throughout the
liberal ranks and was heightened
by the good natured and rather hope
full reception accorded to Lord Rose
berry by the unionist newspapers. No
allusion was made to the home rule
bill in the speech from the throne, but
the omission was more than atoned for
by the address in the foreign office.
Lord Rosebery was wildly applauded.
His opening remarks were in rever-
entail allusion to Mr.. Gladstone. lie
declared that no assertion of pol
Icy was needed I'VE stand where
we did," he said. The liberal
party was bound to home rule by ties
of honor and affection. The policy
would be definitely pursued. As for
the lords. he was becoming convinced
that with the democratic SUI
frage which we now enjoy, sec
ond chamber constituted like the house
Of lords is an anomaly" II mad be-
come great tory organization at the
beck and call of a single party leader. .
In the house of lords Lord Salisbury
dwelt upon the omission from The pro-
gramme of any reference to interna-
tional legislation, and especially
marked the absence of the home rule
question. That, he said, was an issue
of the highest Importance and ought
not to have been laid aside for other
subjects.
Lord Rosebery said the government
did not desire to evade or shirl the
question of home rule for Ireland, but
explained that il had not been men
toned in the queens speech because il
would not be introduced during this
session. Lord Salisbury" the pre-
mier said. wants to appeal to the
country. We are not afraid to appeal
to the country when we think the time
is ripe. but we shall never concede to
this hereditary assembly the right to
force a dissolution"
Referring to Ireland the premier said
the present satisfactory condition was
due to remedial measures and the
promise of home rule. OF course the
decision rested upon England, but he
believed the conversion of England &c
home rule would not be difficult task
when the Irish people showed by their
conduct that they were worthy of it.
In conclusion, Lord Rosebery said that
Ireland would never be contented until
she had obtained home rule.
