A d d rpss The News -Record, Minton. Ont, THE 110OREOiON" OF IRELAND'. SPEECII OF MR. BALFOUR AT PORTSMOUTH. TUI uslosiSr PROGRAMME FOR THE GREEN 1SLE Hr. A. J. Balfour, Chief Secre- tary fur Ireland, addressed a great Uuiuniat meeting at Portsmouth on the 9th June. In the course of lila speech he said, as reported iu in the Lundell Tinted ;—'Nuw, our opponents are very feud of making t comparison between their policy fur lreland and our poliey fur hag hied, and they have a very simple formula in which they stun up their view of the situation. They say that our policy is entirely coercion, and that their policy is simply Hunte Rule. (Laughter.) Now, in my judgment, that propo- sition has every :strut. which pro- position can have. (Laughter.) It errs' by misstatement ; it errs by the suppression of the truth, and it errs by the distortion of the truth ; it suppresses the facts of the case, and it puts into prominence things which are not the facts of the case (cheers), and I do not think that I can better occupy the time allotted to me this evening than by showing 'you how utterly the formula which I have just given you fails to describe Lhe res- pective relations of the two great parties upon the question of the better government of Ireland. (Hoar, hear.) I do not mean to quarrel about words. If our oppo- nents choose 10 tell me that I am a eoereigniet, I do not make any bones about the phrase. (Laughter.) But let me ask what the thing means—that' is the ..point. (Loud cheers, and a voice --'Law and order.') What we want to know is, not by what epithet you can des- cribe the policy of the Government, as far as what my friend there calls taw and order, but what that policy is in itself. (Hear, hear.) I will tell you what it is in itself. The The Huron News -Record policy which has been falsely des- cribed --or rather foolishly des- cribed—as coercion simply consists in providing a machinery by which the law, not a law peculiar to Ire- land, not a law in its substance even peculiar to England, but a law which in its substance is universal amongst civilized nations (cheers)— it simply consists in providing a• machinery by which this general law, that every civilized State in the. world lias had to enact, has had to obey, may be carried into effect iu the sister island. (Cheers.) if by coercion you mean that which does not interfere with the liberty of the press, that which does not interfere with the liberty ,.of elec- tion, that which does not interfere with auy law abiding man, but that which does interfere with the proceedings of those who aro not law-abiding (cheers); if by coercion you mean :,n adniiuietration of law our set.had invited me to take a , which rtr•ikes it possible for a law- ridbehind his high-spirited, fine- I abiding citizen to live in peace ; if 1)lo r1. :1 horse. I got myself up to by coercion you mean a system under which individual liberty, instead of being sacrificed to a faction, is 1'rngerved from one end of the land to the other, then I say I am proud of being called a coer- 'cionist. (Louth cilia prolonged cheers.) But, patting, aside for one moment this question of the administration of the law in Ireland, is it true --is it netts' thu truth—to say that wo are coercionists, and coorcioniets alone? (Loud cries of "No.") I have often had occasion to admire the shortness of memory of our opponents. (Cheese.) I do not mean their shortness of memory iu the witness-box—I am not talk- ing of that. (Loud cheers and laughter.) I moan their shortness of memory as to what has actually taken place in Parliament since I have had the honor of holding the position of Chief Secretory for Ire- Ia15it: - (Tfrsar, halm) I dare gay some of you Lavo better nlernories, and.,recollect a Land Act which I had the honor to introduce •Ind pees in 1887. (Hear, hear.) Now, I ant not going through the 'pro- visions of the Act. It was a very long mud complicated measure, which brought relief to a very largo number of agricultural tenants in Ireland, and it improved in many respects the law of landlord anti tenant. 'But I want to retuind you of one provision of the statute. It was a provision dealing with evic- tions. We provided—the Unionist - Government provided, the brutal Chief Secretary provided (laughter) —a clause , under which any tenant in Ireland who was liable to evic- tion might appeal to an independent court of law, and if he could show that ho was unable to pay his debt to the landlord through circum- stances for whish he was not res- ponsible, he might ask the court to stop thio eviction upon such terms as the court might think just. (Hear, hear.) I want you to reco- llect the existence of that law when you Lear all this talk about evic- tions in Ireland. Why has not the law been more used? Is it because the Irish members do not think the provision in itself a valuable and useful one? I think not, be- cause I observe that one of the Irish members has just brought in a bill by which'this provision is to be extended to other classes of tenants. (Laughter.)

NO UUSi; WHISTLING FOR 11IM. A story is being told of a very close citizen of Washington that he wanted to go to Lynchingburg recently. At the ticket office he was told that the faro was $1,40. 'Ono eighty,' he muttered. `Gid you w,1.40.' 'Can't cut rat rates. sir. One nighty is the fare.' `Gid you one fifty.' 'Nope. Uni eighty.' '1)on I'll relit.' '7'h•ats your privilege,' answered tho ticket seller.

They have endangered their lives, broken their heads. and their ribs, stabbed them, scalded them, thrown UOxiOUB acids on them, endangered their eyesight in more than one case, aud all this not to defend their homes, as you are told by the Radical orators, but simply and solely in order that by creating a centre of disorder in that part of Iceland they may reader the task of Govern- ment difficult, and that they niay promote, by their sufferings, the unholy cause of separation from this country. (Cheers.) That is one hill which our oblivious oppo- nents forgot when they describe our policy as 0110 of coercion, and coercion alone.. Public works in Ireland have always been au essen- tial part of the Unionist programme. They would have boon - more advanced already but for Radical opposition, and the only opposition we have to fear in carrying out these beneficent operations in the poorest part of Ireland is still front the Radical part of the House. There is• Mr. Conybearo; for in- stance, (hisses), who, with a humor which seldorn appears in other parts of his speeches, tells us that lierepresents the democracy of England. (Laughter.) Mr. (,ony- beare, in his capacity of represeuta• tive of the democracy of England, objects to those Bills. Ile is per- fectly ready to go over to Ireland and cheer for the Plan of Campaign; but ask hila to put his hand in his pocket, ask hint to allow the Government to give out of the public funds anything to alleviate the sufferings and improve the con- dition of those in whom Mr. Conybeat•e takes so peculiar an interest, and Mr. Cony - heave and his Radical allies immediately object. (Laughter.) What are we to think of those who apparently rejoice in every phase of disorder in Ireland, and who yet refuse the stnallest pittance to the poor Irishman ? I have not made any complete enumeration of the Bills that we have actually ou the table, or which we have actually passed in addition to the Crimes Act ; but our policy does not end there. -We hope to bri•rag.in- many. other bills for the amelioration of Ireland. We have heard much of extending local government to Ire- land. I am in favor of extending local government to Ireland. (Cheers.) I hope to bring in a hill for extending local government to Ireland. (Cheers.) But I say that you must follow with regard to Leland, the same prudential max- rims which govern the conduct of every rational statesman in dealing with other countries. You must fit your local government to the needs and the necessities of the country you aro dealing with. (Hear.) Now it would be vain to deny—it would be shutting our oyes to the moat obvious facts of the situation if we were to refuse to see that et the moment the ten- dency of the dominant party in Ireland is always to turn every institution of which they have got the control into an engine for des- troying a class. (Cheers.) Their crusade against the landlords is not dictated by any hatred for land- lords as a class, but because they think that they can most easily assault the union between the two countries by first attacking aud, if possible, destroying a class whom they know to be devoted to the Union. Unless you take aurae measures for preventing your Local Government Bill' producing other ends of an analogous kind, you will assuredly bo doing more harm than good by passing it foto law. PERTH COUNTY BARBAR- IANS. A Wallace correspondent •writes • as follows to the Listowel•Banner: " It looks like the 6W'hite Caps Society in Wallace, Perth county, Out., owing to the fact that there exists iu Wallace a number of men who ill treat their wives and daugh- ters; contrary to the laws of God and man, by abusing thern in vari- ous ways ; some by beating thorn occasionally, others compelling them to do manual labor, thereby injuring their, system and that of their offspring, forgetting the great command that was given to husband by the great apostle, " Love your wives." It is no unusual sight to sco women and girls putting up rail fences, digging drains, hauling stones oft' fields and in some cases splitting rails until tate abuse has become unbearable. Resides the above complaints there aro a number of others enumerated in the list of CI'inles such ' as a titan refusing to allow his wife Co go to a store' to purchase goods for her horisehold. Ono respectable - women •reported that she had not visited a store in ten years, although she had grown up daughters and was as intelligent a women as any in the township. Another reported that her father had died in the States and that she had gone to bury hits, but had staid two days longer than her old bear hath giver, iter permission to. stay. When she canto back ho threatened. to beat her as he had often done before, although site was a grandmother, and also threatened to horsewhip any of the children who would speak to their mother for two weeks. The result was that this women nearly lost her life over the fright. One woman reported that it was customary when a man wanted a servant and had a mar- riageahle son. he would make that son marry and bring a daughter into the family for a slave. All these matters were fully described at their late rueetiug and woe to the man who will not regard his wife as equal to 'himself in tha future. One mode of punishing is to be advertised at the church doors, an- other to be whipped and if need bo tarred and featheredby three Amazons. Evidently -they- mean business. Clan na gael."

The shepherd was about retiring when the boy continued : • 'Say, can God do anything?' 'Yes, my buy.' 'Can he make a two year-old colt in•two minutes 1' 'Why,' said the astonished Bish- op, 'he would nut wish to do that, my boy.' 'But if he thiel tv.tut to, could he?' insisted the boy. . 'Yes, certainly, if he wished to.' 'What, in two minutes.' 'Well, then, he wouldn't be two years old, would he?' The Bishop collapsed.
