THE IRISH QUESTION.
SPEECH BY THE MARQUIS OF
SALISBURY
London, April 19. Lord Salisbury, addressing a meeting of tho Primrose League, said he did not believe thet the House of Commons would permit the employment of soldiery to enforce autonomy in Ireland. The House of Lords would continue to reject the Bill if it were passed, for they were persuaded that Home Rule in Ireland would certainly wreck the integrity of Greab Britoin.
London, April 20,
In his speech to the Primrose League Lord Salisbury said that if the House of Lords rejectad the Home Rule Bill it would be idle to send it back without an appeal to the country. He ridiculed tha extraordinary hotch-potch the Bill proposes to make of the House of Commons. All the cultured, wealthy, and enterprising among the Roman Catholics of Ireland, he contended, joined with the Protestants in tho protest against Home Rule. Autonomy would remove the keystone of the constitution.
