HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
John Redmond Says There Can Be
No Alternative Policy.
Irish Would Rather Govern Them
selves Badiy Than he Governed
Well BY Another Nation

London, Feb. i.-"For the Irish party
ty there is no such thing as an alterna-
tive policy TO home rule" declared
John Redmond. the leader of the Irls1
parliamentary party in the house of
commons, Wednesday, as he resumed
debate on the address in reply To the
speech from the throne. MIR. Redmond
proceeded to detail the various griev-
ances OF Ireland. incidentally inform
ing the liberals that IL was a delu-
sion TO suppose they could count on
irish support by promising an alterna-
tive policy to home rule Because the
irish obtained valuable act last year.
remedying some of the evils of past
government, some persons seemed to
think that the Irish question was
shelved, but no concession could
weaken the demand for self-govern-
ment On the contrary. every conees-
sion they had obtained or might OBJ
tain would be used for the furtherance
oil the contest for home rule. The Irish
would rather govern themselves badly
IMAM be governed well by another ma
ton. Mr.. Redmond bitterly attacked
the governments attitude on education
IN Ireland, describing it as a grossly
absurd and irreparably harmful TO The
youth Of ireland. The governments
course on the Irish university question.
he added, was a dishonest evasion Of an
admitted duty. and a grievance which
poisoned the life of Ireland condemned
her to failure in the struggle of ma
