IN THE House Of Commons some days
ago Chief Secretary Wyndham UNDER
- took To- pronounce judgment on the
Irish Parliament OF Henry Grattun. which
he did not hesitate to pronounce a failure.
Isaac Butt. who knew moro about Graf
tan's Parliament than probably Mr.;
Wyndham knows about anything, was OF
I different opinion. Speaking In the House
OF Commons on tho Goth Of June. 1874, he
said: & 81 81
4 "What did the Irish Parliament accom-.
plish2 II wrung from tho Privy Council
OF England an act for shortening the
duration Of Parliament to eight years, It
admitted Roman Catholics&to tho fran
chise, 1t repealed the penal laws, 1t opened
the Dublin University to nttolics more
than half century before they were adj
United TO any English university and he
believed that IL It's course had not been
interrupted 1t would have settled the
question OF Catholic cmanclpati Ion, ana
others OF vital Importance with results
Very different from those which they had
witnessed In Ireland"
y A great many English and Scotch mem-5
bcrs OF Parliament have the idea that the
Irish members ask questions Ia the House
OF Commons out OF pure cussedness. and,
OF course that notion Is nourished BY the
fact that Irish question: are. MS a rule.
out Of all proportion.to British questions.
The circumstance is sometimes explained
by he superior activity Of the Irish over
the Anglo saxon member and BY his bct-
tor attendance. But that is only par
tial explanation. There is more IN the
mystery. The fact is. as a writer In the
Daily News very properly points out, that
8.the Irish members have found, ana hno.

administrative abuses In questions Cd
