ended by July 14th: ?There is great ex-
citement -in Gteitt-Britains overthe Ieo
tions, which are asetuning a sort of three
cornered charsicter. All parties seem to
agree in wishing to gran e home rule to
Ireland. But they differ as to the extent
to which it should be granted. Mr. Glad-
stone, the -Premier, is willing to give
. Home Rule to Ireland *iti sech a form as
would, some suppose, practically lead' to
a separation between Ireland and the
Empire. The more sensible men of the
Liberal party, while granting Home Rule
would do it on something the samwprin
ciple as is given to the loetil legislatures
of our Dominion relation to the general
government. The ,Toi lee would grant
Howe Rule only in a modified form ,as
applicable to the local government of
each province at' Ireland, While Glad;
stone would do away with dl representa-
tion of Ireland in the British Parliament,
the " Urillemists" aa the eection of •the

the Executive Committee be desired [a

some of our prominent men ashamed of
their conduct, aud cause them to liestitate
to *late the law. • .
Another matter referred to by gr. Wil!
on, Was the Orange made by the Domin-
ion Goverphient during the last moments
of the late session of parliament in tlie
Scott Act itself, whereby the fines obtained
from convictions under the Act meet now
be paid to the GeemoreGeberal instead of
to the Lieutenant -Governor of' the Province
ns formerly. ., He hoped the feet of the
Ontario Geyer:Aiwa being deprived .of
the fines., would not influence thein to, re-
lax their efforts to enforce. the law or
withdraw any of the menhiliery for that
purpoae, whichthey had provided.
This appropriation by the Dorninioe
•
Govetnment of all the fines, welted .of

of the Ontario Government administering
the law, as they wotild derive po revenue
from its °pendent, and would have the
sateries of Inspecters and CopernissiOpers,

to pay. He truited, Iitit-roVer; • that thie
loss would 'not prevent them froni faith-

obstaelei are thrown in the arey of tend-
peranee workers, he say' no reason' for
serious dieconragement, :•for JO spite . of

timent ia advancing. 'fie eloquently ap-
pealed to the members of the convention
to be true to •the ceuse, • and continuo to

he believed the day to be not far distant,

The announcement was -made -that Mr.
