-IRELAXD'S WRONGS.
Colonel llurke Addl e .nr. the IrUh Nntlmi-
allnts In the Casino, and Impcachcx
the I.iikIIsIi Government,
lie Describes the Kuglliiti Measures of
lteform for Ireland as n Shiinio
and Fraud.
Tho first Krand b ill or tho Irish Nationalist
Boclety was held In tho Casino on Saturday
ovcnln?. It was In a im-at measure compli
mentary to Colonel It. O. S. llurke, the Irish
uifltator, who was Invited to address the meet
Inif. At tho appointed hour for tho nddrc.s,
7510 p. mthcro were only a few persons present,
so It was decided to postpono tho uddress until
II o'clock. In the meanwhile visitors Kradually
arrived, nnd at tbo hour named thoro wus u
fair attendance.
Proremor V. T. Ainos, huvlnif Introduced
tho lecturer, Colonel Ilurko aroo und was re
ceived with cheers. Ho suld that tho position
ho occupied that night wns that of uttorney
fortho dorenco. Ireland was niatlo the dofon

appear 'I What claim linn sho upon your devo

must bo tho accuser Ireland has no dllllculty
with tho Hngll .h people. Tho English people,
especially tho ortlzaus, uro lovors or liberty. It
Is the Government who misrepresents Ireland,
England says that Ireland Is uuthilft, un.eru
pnlous, iHwsbkSOd of no sentiment or honor
and civilization, and unless she accepts ber
teaching humanity will record u great crime
ugnltist progress, and Ireland will be u blot
upon civilization. Unless she docs this Eng
land says that sho will bo compelled to report
to ulterior measures. What Is liberty ? What
Is progress ? Whutls civilization f IsKimlund
the soul of these, and possessed of all tbo vir
tues or tho loth century ? lias Ireland suerl
tlecd any dominion In

Englann says that Ireland Is chronlcully dis

thero Is not an ollleor of tbo Government who
cannot say bow any naitlcular person has
voten, nuu negavo an uiusiiiiiiou or how this
was done. Another Impcuchmciit he mado
against Mr. Gladstone was tho Land net. Ho
did not object to any tiling for tho amelioration
of the condition of his uurortnnata country,
but ho had seen so much uncertainty and cor
ruption under tho guib or England's friend
