First, he S speak about the part which his X (applause) had taken in this matter. Evw them had almost deemed it noces £rto offer an apology for the part which Sweat Liberal party had taken in this ittoV Was it because they had 2 .fle- , 'firs l ' tsm . e in tlie history J their -country gained the respect of L Irish race for speaking out in favour Tierack-rented tenantry of Ireland Mf re- Hoseh r wascta c to them, it was because they Eot) previously taken the matter up. Ky were told that they were nob the true lifel party. But were there not Lys Liberals who had declined to L; tfitb their party on various 'mi' ■reform questions ? Had these liberals, in., the -past; prevented the *Ljj* of those reforms ? No, there was instance in which ultimately ieliberal partyhad notcarnedoutfclieir re ijft? There were many people who fciwlt that it was perfectly impossible to contented Ireland until all its people were in another and a better world. Sfferemany whohatlconcluded that the A thing fcp do with Irishmen was to im rf ihepoff ttie face of the earth. During 8$ years that England had tried to jptan Ireland the population had de OTisedfrom 8,000,000 to 5,000,000.. Four iHfipßSotlnsh had been evicted j and four more piillions had deen driven from the j (Mjtry by the Legislature, That these tun not of the worst class was proved by \§ fts ; that £ 37,000,000 had been sent lee by these people to help those who had i_*_ecl behind. In addition to this fenjaMy during the last 40 years. He be pei'fhat the reason that Ireland was so 111-treated was because the English people li ■■ ignorant to a great extent of tho true IjUte of affaire. Hβ believed that the bulk ifteJlngUsh nation wished to deal justly lit Ireland (applause), but they did nob Mle to inquire into the' matter. During istefctwo year 3 the Liberal party had to lite perpetnai opposition, evidently in ImisrtoKeep Mr Gladstone out of power. ilka, 'first thing they complained of ilreland was that almost everything was kii api in the hands of the English Lord li((iteEast,who nominated all theßoarda in Wand, r The Irish Board of Education msMofsixProtestants and ,six Catholics tody one Home Ruler. What people yM submittosuchasystem of government ? ijgSsii people would nob stand such a Jwramentfor a week (applause), and if he itiraghtthat the Irish people would not ptet against such a system, he would nob p part move his little finger t) help ■■ them. (Applause.) The icteefrtben quoted from the speech & the Bight Hon. J. Chamberlain pm in 1885, which stated that Ireland w governed by the bayonets of 30,000 ;tgSelj. soldiers, who were permanently wmpei there. If he for a moment be %ed that Home Rule would result in tn/ur action on the part of tho- Roman telic population of Ireland towards Wi Protestant brethren, would he, a Pro totand.aWesleyan, for a moment at tifflpito give them tho power to do so? Wtpynot. (Applause.) Lord Spenser, rto twice governed Ireland, said Jto h never knew of but one Btaffi in which a protostanb bad bcori PmM by the Roman Catholic.-!. On WoiKiaaon, the Rev.

that the Irish people were sufficiently democratic to see that Mr Parnell did not tyrannise over them anymore than they would allow England do. Thia was really the first time that in Ireland re ligion had been sunk in the patriot. He was surprised to see Mr John, Bright, opposed to government by the majority. (Hisses.) No ; let him not hear hisses against one who had been such a true mend to the Irish people—a man who nad always supported the people. It was strange that in five years ho should have so changed, for the majority of the people in Ireland were in favour of Home Rule. Another argument used was that the Irish representatives were steeped in crime, and yet the men who said this associated with these men who were called murderers and dynamiters. If they believed them to be such, the people of England would treat them as outcasts and would not associate with them. Mr Parneil had been charged with writing a letter almost vindicating the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr Burke. In the House of Parliament Mr Parnell had offered to submit the whole matter to a Committee of the House without a Home Rule member on it, and that he and the whole of the party would give evidence upon the matter. The offerwaa contemptuously rejected by the majority of tho House, and "now they heard him denounced because he had refused to take an action for libel against the "Times." Mr Parnell had done so because of the liberty allowed to cross-examining counsels, which he well knew would bo used to bespatter with mud the whole of Jus party. That was why Mr Parnell had acted so generously. Then there were the land laws of Ireland, which differed from those of England. .Since the Land Court had been introduced, tho rents had been greatly reduced, which simply meant that hitherto out of every £100 paid in rent £40 had been practically stolen from the people. And yet they were told that the Irish people had no real grievence. They had no doubt beard the plan of campaign denounced as a system of plundering the landlords, and yet they had only demanded a reduction of 25 per cent. The landlords who had accepted that had been saved a much greater loss at the hands of their own Land Courts. Out of 6,0G0 landlords in Ireland only 67 had been punished by the plan of cam paign. He did not defend the system be cause ifc whs illegal, but he could not help saying that the people had been driven to it, and if he were an Irishman similarly situated he would almost be afraid to say that he would not have joined it. In deal ing with Ireland the present Government had tried to convince the people that "Codlin was the friend of Ireland, and nob Short." (Laughter.) Tkey said that they were such friends to the Irish that they would bring in a land bill. They did so, and it was a good one, only it did not touch the question of arrears of rent. The Government, at the first in troduction of their bill, provided that when a tenant could not pay rent, and was about to be evicted, he could appeal to the county courts, and tho magistrate could compel tho landlord to give a clear receipt for the rent. This clause was struck out by the landlords in tho House of Lords ; and at length, when theGovernmentwereon the pointof yielding, it was stopped by aLib.eral Unionist, tho Mar qnisof Harfcington, just when Lord Salisbury was willing to let that remedial measure paws. What had been the charctor of the evictions which had occurred of lato ? An English member told him of ono where tho mother and child were evicted although the child was dying. Tho mother bogged to bo spared, but tho sheriff had his in structions, and he simply did his duty. Thoy wcro turned out into tho snow on the roadside in the premnce of Eng lish and Irish members of Parliament. ("Shame, shame !") That was at Glenbjaigh. Another woman was evicted .and her house burnt before her eyes, for failing to pay rent one year, after having paid it regularly for the "last 27 years. What would that woman at Berdyke think of tho majesty of tho lav/ after having been robbed to tho ex tent of £40 a year for 27 years ? While he believed thoroughly in the rights of pro perty, ho still believed in the right of man, and when the two clashed, it was not the man who should go to the wall. (Applause) They had now passed their 87th Coercion Act since the Union. If a man failed 86 times in business and again came to his friends for help, was there any earthly man who would lend him sixpen2e V (Laughter.) And yet that was practically what they were doing now. 86 times had they tried coercion and 86 times had they failed, and there was no better prospect of success at present. (Applause.) He then quoted statistics to show that the state of crime in Ireland did not justify the passing of «uch an Act. He contended also that the Coer cion Act had violated the Act of Union, for it stipulated that Ireland and England should be governed by the same laws. If he thought that tho Coercion Act would dis cover moonlighters and murderers, he and also every respectable Irishman would have supported it. . But Lord Salisbury himself had said that it was to put down combina tions. That simply meant that the Act was just meant to oppress the Irish tenantry and compel, them to pay higher rents. All the energy of the Government had re cently been bent towards compelling Mi- O'Brien to wear a suit of clothes which he did not like, and even there they had failed. It was absurd to say that if Ireland was to bo put down it could not be done; for with 33 ; 000,000 of population, wealth, police and soldiers 1C could of course be done, but it would need a Cromwell, and they had not one at pre sent, bub only Mr Balfoiu 1 (laughter), and if they had a Cromwell at present no con stituency in England would elect him on his late Irish policy. (Applause.) Keep ing down the people by brute force was not the duty of a statesman, bub of a oonstable. (Applause.) Ifc was useless to put one man in prison and let nine men go at liberty 'holding the same opinions. The speaker then quoted from Mr Chamber lain's recent .speech, wherein he said that Ireland was most perfectly governed. He thought that the less they said about the consistency of Mr Chamberlain the< better. (Applause.) Englishmen were not ashamed to Bay thab it Home Rule were granted . it would disintegrate the Empire. Fancy that; 33,000,000 of people could not keep down 3,000,000 in Ireland, and yet these were the patriots. (Laughter). He thought they need have no fear as to the ultimata triumph of Home Rule. (Applause.) Since July the Liberal party had gained seven elections, and all this pointed to the ultimate triumphs of the policy which they had adopted. There wae also the fact that the Liberal party had never failed when fighting the battle of popular rights against class privileges. Those men had passed away, but the pnn. cinles they enunciated were immortal, -and existed to-day as the* existed in days gone by. They did nob fail then and they would not fail now. They could go forward-confident in the ultimate success of a policy which was built upon the principles of liberty, justice, and love. . Mr McArthur. resumed his seat amidst prolonged applause. Mr J. O'Meaghcr then moved "JhaUbi meeting heartily thanks Mr W. A. McArthur for his eloquent address to-night, and ex p° esses its confidence in the Liberal leaders, and particularly in the Right Hon. W. E.. Gkdstone and Mr C. S. Parnell and trusts that eucoess will soon crown their efforts to eivo good government to Ireland It strongly condemns the Irish policy of Her Majesty's Government, involving as it does the perpetration of outrages like thab at Mitchelßbown, the dmial'of the right oj nubile meeting, the suppression of. free Leech, thi liberty of the .subject and. Et Cornwall has reason tp be,pro«d oher filnnnent representative," (Applause.; U?m»8& then «eUw»d-««»M»g

speech, and quoted'from a number of old English Acts which tended towards coercion. He said that it had now been tried for the last 440 years. He thought that proved that Ireland was not to be denationalised. The foreigner could boast his freedom when he set his foot upon English soil, but the Irish could not have, freedom in their own country. ' Mr Poole seconded the resolution. Though an Englishman, coming from that Tory-ridden county, Somersetshire, he was proud to be there to speak a word for poor down-trodden Ireland.

The motion was carried amidst prolonged applause. Three cheers were then given for Mr McArthur.

Mr J. J. Crofts next proposed, "That this meeting, in view of the treatment of Mr Win; O'Brien, M.P., by Her Majesty's Government, strongly condemns the system under which political prisoners are treated as common felons—a system which prevails i« no country in Europe but Russia, and is unworthy of a free people." Mr Crofts also delivered a speech which amused the audience with its tire, pathos and humour. Mr W. Speight seconded the motion. Although ho had not expected to speak, still.no true Irishman could be silent under such circumstances. (Applause). Ib was well for those who were now living in liberty should casb back to those at home their heartiest sympathy and a warm God speed. Thia was not an Irish question, but a world-wide one. Ireland was working out; the problem of the • land question. It was only for them to say that God had cast upon the Irish people a problem for the good of the whole human race, and God grant that they might never shrink from it.

The motion %vas carried unanimously. Mr McArthur, on rising to reply, was loudly cheered. He briefly returned thanks, and proposed a vote of thanks to the chair man.

Ah , T. W. Leys seconded the motion, which was carried with acclamation.

Dr. Erson then briefly replied. He trusted that an answer had been given that night to those who said that Home Rule meant disintegration. He trusted that in future the " Herald " would not represent public opinion as being in favour of Lord Salisbury's system. Still, he had now noticed that the "Herald" had trimmed down a little, and had admitted that Home Rules mis'hb be needed for Ireland, but not Mr Parnell's system. (Applause.) .He hoped yet to see it announced through the columns of the " Herald " thafc Ix-eland had opened its Parliament on College Green. (Loud applause.) The meeting closed with three ringing cheers for Mr McArthur, and three more for Mr Gladstone.
