the I.iikIIsIi Government
lie Describes the Kuglliiti Measures of
lteform for Ireland as n Shiinio
and Fraud.
Tho first Krand b ill or tho Irish Nationalist
Boclety was held In tho Casino on Saturday
ovcnln?. It was In a im-at measure compli-
mentary to Colonel It. O. S. llurke the Irish
uifltator who was Invited to address the meet-
Inif. At tho appointed hour for tho nddrc.s
7510 p. mthcro were only a few persons present
so It was decided to postpono tho uddress until
II o'clock. In the meanwhile visitors Kradually
arrived nnd at tbo hour named thoro wus u
fair attendance.
Proremor V. T. Ainos huvlnif Introduced
tho lecturer Colonel Ilurko aroo und was re-
ceived with cheers. Ho suld that tho position
ho occupied that night wns that of uttorney
fortho dorenco. Ireland was niatlo the dofon-
diint who was her accuser? How does she
appear 'I What claim linn sho upon your devo-
tion ? Is sho thoroughly human and Impar-
tial? The wires dally brought Intelllgeneo
th.it lmeaehes the honor und illgnlty or bis

Ireland does not certainly accu-o herscir Eng-
land then. I mean the English Government
must bo tho accuser Ireland has no dllllculty

especially tho ortlzaus uro lovors or liberty. It
Is the Government who misrepresents Ireland
England says that Ireland Is uuthilft un.eru-
pnlous iHwsbkSOd of no sentiment or honor
and civilization and unless she accepts ber
teaching humanity will record u great crime
ugnltist progress and Ireland will be u blot
upon civilization. Unless she docs this Eng-
land says that sho will bo compelled to report
to ulterior measures. What Is liberty ? What
Is progress ? Whutls civilization f IsKimlund

tues or tho loth century ? lias Ireland suerl-
tlecd any dominion In

thero Is not an ollleor of tbo Government who
cannot say bow any naitlcular person has
voten nuu negavo an uiusiiiiiiou or how this
was done. Another Impcuchmciit he mado
against Mr. Gladstone was tho Land net. Ho
did not object to any tiling for tho amelioration
of the condition of his uurortnnata country
but ho had seen so much uncertainty and cor-
ruption under tho guib or England's friend-
ship und generosity that ho must bo excused
