BALTODR'S LAUD BILL Declared by Gladstone to Violate Oonititu- tional Equality.

Mr. Par- nell's plan was new in principle. Ill gen- eral purpose was clear, but he was not certain that he comprehended the details (Conservative laughter.) It was honorable even chivalrous in Mr. 1'arnell, oppoa ing Ibe Government as he did, lo propose an alternative. He etrongly sympathized with one object ot Mr Parnell'a plan, where- by the landlords would not be expatriated, but would be retained. It would be A BOIHOWITI. lOSCLi of the life of the landlord claaa if when local government was establiahed in Ireland they did not take part in adjusting affaire. Mr. halfonr 1 ! bill proaenled a number of dubious points. Some of the proposals were so obviously objectionable as to justify their rejection. A bill of this kind should not encourage landlords to become bnyera of land in order to take advantage of tho enormouj boons offered. lUtar, hear.) The provision reipeoling two years' arrears also required a justiticauou which it would be dit:.:tnt to find.
