risk of wrecking the bill. These are
all questions of politics and tactics,
and l claim that the men on whose
shoulders is cast the responsibility of

trated on this Convention. A few
days ago the London Times" de-
clared that this Convention would re-
ject the bill. That paper has now
changed it's tone, and it says that, of
course, it must expect that the Con-
vention will accept the bill, but that
it will do so in spirit of lukewarm-
ness in grudging spirit, and in a
spirit Of carping criticism. AS a mat

IiiS oeilClt OF q mllllOn and half or
two millions will in five years be four
or five millions. Therefore England
has no right to complain of this ar
rangement as good one for her.
Well, there is only one aspect in
which tits unsatisfactory to us. We
want to pay our own way in this
country. Hence it is that rejoice,
and You all rejoice, that this bill pro-
v1des machinery whereby when,
through the increasing prosperity of
ireland, the deficit disappears-that is
when, through the natural growth of
prosperity Of the revenue Of the coun-
try, then the bill provides that an
agreement be come to between the
two Parliaments whereby Ireland will
enter into an arrangement to pay
Whatever Is decided to be her fair
proportion Of Imperial expenses, and
whereby we In this country get con-
troll of the collection of our taxes.
Now, under this scheme we get COM
plete control of the rates, of the dut-
| les of Excise on beer and on spirits.
That is to say, we can abolish, if we
like, all the Excise duties in ireland,
or we can diminish them; or we can
increase them to any amount we wish;
| and similarly we nave the same rights
as to Customs duties, excise on beer
and spirits. We have also power to
reduce or abolish the other Customs
! duties, such as on tea or sugar. or in
crease them to the limit of ten per
cent. Now. ladies and gentlemen,
what we have not got. and the only
| thing we have not got on this ques-
ton, is a general power Of protection
| against England and the whole world.
For my part do not know that Ire
land wants anything of the kind.
| Members in imperial Parliament.
On the reduction of the Irish men,
bers only one word. I assume most
of you would be glad to see no mem
bers there at all - at least a great
many would-so that Ireland would
be concentrated entirely on the Irish
Parliament and on Irish affairs. But
there are others. of whom I myself
am one, who are glad that Ireland
should have her share in the govern
ment of the Empire, in the building
UP of which she had a large share.
But We took the view that the Irish
members should not remain. in the
English Parliament in such large num-
bers as to create a constant pretext
for tho discussion of Irish affairs and
the only objection l heard to the re-
| duction is that Ireland's powers will
be diminished with reference to her
financial position. But the bill pro-
vides that when the deficit disappears
and the new financial arrangement is
to be come to, the Irish members are
to so back to the English House of
Commons in full numbers in order to
decide the agreement that is to be
come to.
Now Il say. as at the commence
ment, this is great bill. suppose
no one will say it is perfect bill
But I venture to say that If we had
been given complete power to draft
the bill ourselves we could not have
produced a bill which would not have
been adversely criticised by some pub
lie body or other or by some individ-
ual or other. Every bill is suscept-
ible Of criticism and amendment. But
wish to say serious word on this
question. The question of amendment
will arise on the next resolution-it
j does not arise now. But let me now
say this. one word-the question

THE
ing quite freely for myself upon this
matter, personally believe in a NOM
mated Senate. From my reading of
the history of the world, and espe-
cially the history of the colonies, 1
believe a nominated Senate is a more
democratic body than a Senate elect
ed upon a narrow franchise three
conditions always fulfilled: LIST, the
nomination must be, not as in the
Dominion of Canada for life, but for
o short number of years; secondly, a
large proportion of the senators ought
to go out of office every two or three
years; and, thirdly, there should be
satisfactory provision as to a dead
lock between the two Chambers Now,
these three conditions are fulfilled in
the bill. The Senators are to be NOM
mated for eight years, half of them
will go out every two years, and there
is an admirable provision for settling
any difficulties between the two
Houses
Power Of Irish Senate,
The Senate will have no power eth
er to amend or reject any money bill.
1t will have the power of rejecting an
ordinary bill twice-I think proper
provision to prevent rash on reckless
legislation-but at the end of the Sec
ond rejection the two Houses will
meet together, and the bill will pass
IT 1t has majority of one. And let
me give you another reason-a purely
personal reason-why I am in favor of
a nominated senate: I want the Irish
Second Chamber from the very start
to be crowded with men who have not
been partisans of the National Party
in the past at all. 1 want to see it
crowded by men Of business and af-
falrs-men of commerce, men repre-
senting the professions. the arts and
the sciences. and the literature of Ire
land-men having large stakes in the
country; and although 1 am quite sure
that after while, when the old lines
OF demarcation between parties have
been obliterated in Ireland, men of
this type would be elected in large
numbers. still. doubt if they would
be elected at the start.
A Word on Finances.
Now, gentlemen. let me say word
on the financial clauses of this bill
say they need no apology from any
one. 1 say they constitute good
scheme. far better financial scheme
than the one in the bill of 1888 or OF
1898. Now. in word, what does this
bill propose? Every penny Of Irish
taxation, no matter from what source
direct taxation or indirect taxation
Customs or Income tax, any you like
every penny of Irish taxation is to
be expended on. the government OF
Ireland. And. in addition to that
England Is to provide for an indefinite
number of years-as 1 hope short

| million and a half year out Of I'm
| perial sources with. in addition tt
that, sum by way of surplus OF
Irish revenue over expenditure, CON-
mencing at two millions, and. finally

| 100000 a year. which will be a per.
inanent sum. Now. England cannot
! complain of having to pay this two
millions a year. The present state OF
| things Is the result-the magnificent
result of the government of ireland
under the Union. Home Rule, as q

or public bodies. Well. now 1 say to
you, ladies and gentlemen, 1t is your

ANOTHER REFORM eulsE.

Almost every quasi public under taking of this day and time seem. to be Tagged under reform I seems to be a popular idea that to brand something reform is to give it stand ing
 Just now a few insurgent Re2ub- licans are in Chicago attempting to show the Republican national com mittee that if the old organization is thrown into the discard and they are given recognition. the party will. grow here in Arkansas. and through out the south, and that he South can soon be delivered to the Repu5- lican party
 It is charged that the old organiza- tion stands for nothing but pie dis tribuuon and has only selfish pur poses. Of course it is presumed the new organization is unselhsh, wanu no offices, and simply wants to save the Republican party.
 All of which sounds good, possibly if not judged too critically
 Who ever heard of reformer way ing his flag and crying aloud from the hill tops, who himself wasn't look ing to be caught under a landslide that would shove him into paying office?
 The insurgent of today is the post master of tomorrow, if his tnsurgeu cy takes.
 The unselfsh politician is a mis- homer, because if he is unselfish ne is not politician We have seen too many of the reform fighters on the election ballot not to know where of we speak
 The difference between an "old gam" and a new gang" is not a far cry We know we'll the old and the new They differ little. Prob ably one had grown more bold through operation, but the other VII grow bold The "old gang" rallies ita strength through its friendships an political promises made above the surface The new gang cries il will save the country and winds ul by saving itself and it's cohorts
 Neither side in Arkansas has tho courage to take lilly white stanl and that is the only stumbling block between the party and advancement, in the south. Deny it, of course. but still it is true, that many a good soi- i'd Republican comes South, sees the condition, and Joins the Democratic organization.
 The young Democratic son, with a natural trend to follow in the wake of his fatber politically sometimes begins to think over governmental policies. and may be convinced that a protective tari1 or a gold standard is best, and thinks of allyiue himself with the Republicans. until he goes into one Republican convention Then never again" for him lie Is done.
 And even all this is not because negro is negro, but because of his ignorance and preIudiees. The leader of the negro race seldom Is able tc control his following in political af fans.
