How an English Orator Was Made.


When Mr.. Balfour came to be chief
secretary for Ireland he had to speak night
ly. At first he made a very bad hand of
it. l remember well the first night he
mad to deliver speech of any magnitude
it was in introducing the coercion bill
The bill was a very drastic measure, and
there were misgiviDgs, even among Mr..
Balfour's own friends as to it's wisdom OF
necessity, and when Mr. Balf0ur sat
down, after passing rather shamcfacedly
through hurricane of derision, anger
and Interrogation from the Irish benches,
the cause OF coercion and Mr.. Balfonr
seemed to be lost THESE were the days in
which Mr. Goschen was regarded as the
great man of the Unionist party; and
also remember from that period the look
OF almost childlike delight with which
Mr.. Balfour looked up at Mr.. .Goschen as
lie drove home, with all the effectiveness
OF great and trained debater, the case
which Mr.. Balfour should nave made and
had failed to make for himself. But time
went on. Every night Mr. BalfoHr
was subjected TO torrent Of
questions. His policy in Ireland was
of character to provoke constant
Parli iamentary attack; and the re-
suit was that, having TO fight nightly for
his life, Mr. Balfour was kept in constant
practice, and the House woke up one day
TO find that the stumbling, Ineffective, and
almost despised man had grown to be one
OF the most effective and powerful and
ready debaters of the House of Commons.
The struggle in Ireland was such as to
bring out his peculiar powers. To defend
regime of coercion in free nation and
before representative assembly, with all
the representatives of the coerced nation
arrayed on the other side, required a Won
derful suhtIet y-the power To obscure
issues in words; above all. feariessness
