GLADSTONE IN WALES. (Continued From First Page.) good she isnervous, hysterical and dys peptic, and therefore the strength of her muscles is not what it should be and you will find that Mrs. St. Clair's life and conversation as thus detailed by Mrs. Stowe are a continual lamenta tion on the hardship of her case from the fatigue she experiences in conse quence of the performance of the neces sary duty of flogging the slaves. Gen tlemen, we have been flogging Ireland with rare periods of intermission for centuries, and it is no wonder that the operation gets a little fatiguing it is no wonder if Lord Salisbury's arm is tired, for it is impossible permanently to gov erna free people by coercive means in the light of day and in the atmosphere of freedom which happily pervades this country. If you really believe that Ire land could be pacified with such means as are now in operation, it would be a different matter but pray recollect that our true opposition to this bill is be cause it is not an attempt to render more stringent the law against crime, because it is not really in the main di rected against crime, but against those combinations of the people which in substance have been known in this country under the names of trades unions, which trades unions have been open to a good deal of criticism, and have produced various inconveniences, but which, notwithstanding, have vin dicated the independence of the labor ing population of the country, and have upon the whole produced an immense balance of good. The laboring popula tion of this country had a power which the Irish laboring population had not, and this attempt to strike at their com binations, not when they pass into crime, because we make no difficulty or "objection to the punishment of a combination when it passes into crime, but this attempt to put down a combi nation which is not crime has received, and, I trust, will receive, the hearty and determined opposition of every Liberal politician. Believe in the Irish people to this extent, that they are human be ings, full of noble qualities, and if they have defects, as no doubt they have, for we all, in every country, have them— in my belief there is no country on the face of the earth in which you can so clearly trace these defects to the mis government and the oppression from which they have been sufferers for cen turies. Believe in them to that extent. Do not credit the statements of those who allow it to be said, and who are fond of saying, though they do not let it out in public, though it is known to 1 ',y 1 Men's Pants. Our Pant's Department contain an as sortment of over 10,000 pairs of Pants, and we are constantly adding to its immensity. As may be readily con jectured,this enormous stock includes eyery grade and style. Men's All-Wool Pants, as low as $2.50 Men's All Wool Pants, in neat stripes and checks, for $3 Men's fine quali ties in Corkscrew a a Diagonal, $4 to 6 fine Im ported Cassimere Worsted Pants, 96,50 to $8. Be sure and see these grades. r-v '/"t Jrtt ^'"'r -HP 1, be their normal sentiment, that Ireland is a country made to be governed by force. Ireland is not a country to be governed by force any more than Wales or England or Scotland was made to be governed .by force. It is the injustice with which she has been treated that is at the root of nearly all her miseries, and nineteen-twentieths of her sins are, in my belief, an undeniable proposition to be traced thereto. It is for you to consider whether you will take your stand upon that ground or not but if you do take your stand upon it, I will venture to cheer you in a difficult and arduous contest—to cheer you with the assertion that in the future your triumph is as certain as anything in the future can be. and that in the present you have the sympathy, the approba tion and the prayers on your behalf of the British empire at large, of the Anglo-Saxon race at large, and of civ ilized Christendom in all quarters of the world. Hastings' Correspondence of The Irish Standard. Felix Mears, the section man who was sunstruck over at Newport last week, died shortly after being taken home, and was buried from St. Boniface Church.

Halton, a former be loved pastor of this city, has regained his health and has been located at Pres ton, in Fillmore county. His old friends and parishoners of this city wish him success in his new parish. He came to Hastings on his first mitwfon ang worked hard and faithfully for over fif teen years, going on missions and sick calls over rough country roads, through storms and cold, until his health gave way and he had to resign and take a rest. The best wishes of all go with him, and Preston Catholics have a pas tor they may be proud of. Division No. 1, A. O. H., will elect officers tomorrow (Sunday) for the en suing year. c.g.
