Afterwards, it was amended by adding the words, "All subject to the supreme authority of the imperial parliament." It was known beforehand debate could have But an academic interest, because the government al ready pledged that there would be no deal in the matter of home rule until it had received a mandate at the general election, but the debate was made notable through the strong claration of Chancellor Asquith, which was all the weighticr, because made at the moment Mr. Asquith is actually assuming the premiership, Mr. Balfour in a brief speech had accused his opponents of speaking with twe meanings, a radical meaning aml a nationalist meaning, He asked how it was conceivably possible to eprry out great Irish reforms with British money, except by a British parliament, and ironically challenged Mr. Asquith to clear up this ambi- guity, DOWN IN GANANOQUE THEY'VE GOT BUSHELS OF HARD CASH. that the de Grace Church Got More Than it Really Wanted--The Canada Caltitnet Company Matter Has Been Settled™at vast.

For over twenty years he himgelf and his colleagues had steadily and conristently advocated self-government for Ireland's purely local affairs. He held that opinion now as strongly as ever, He could not, however, support Mr, Redmond's motion in its present form, because he found in it no explicit re cognition of imperial supremacy, and further because no parliament would be sustained in embarking on such a task unless the matter first had been submitted to the electorate, It would be a gross amd inexcusable violation of they promise to do in the life- time of the present parliament. So far as the present parliament was concerned, he said that had ex pressed their powers in to the problem of Irish govirument in the Irish council's bill Timothy Healey declaring that Mr. ith taken if he supposed would mend himself to the Irish people by his speech.
