) ESTABLISHED I*so. ) J. 11. KBTILL Editor and Proprietor, f SPRINGING THE TRAP. MR. SMITH PROPOSES TO EXPEDITE BUSINESS. A New Move by the Government-The Crimes Act Bill Amendment to be Ex . pedited. Sound Advice to the Irish 9 People from “United Ireland”—fur ther News. London, June o.—ln the House of Com! mons this afternoon Mr. W. H. Smith, the government leader, gave notice that to morrow he would move that the committee name a period at which they would report the Irish crimes act amendment bill to the House. The announcement was received with great cheers and counter cheers. AN KNOTTED THRONG. Mr. Morley protested against so short a notice. He toped the government would postpone making the motion for another day. [Cries of “No” from the Ministerial benches.] Mr. Smith said he felt sure Mr. Morley must have expected that the govern ment would make such proposals. [Opposi tion cries of “No!”] Mr. Smith then re ferred to his statement in the House on )Tuesday, in which he said possibly it would become his duty to take measyres to expe dite tho public business. Ho said the gov ernment was unable, until to day, to finally decide on what coui'se to pursue. The terms of his notice would be on paper to ' night. He refused to name the period he would ask the committee to fix for reporting the bill. Mr. Smith then gave notice that at 10 p. m. Friday, June 17, he would move that the chairman forthwith put the question on any motion of an amendment, or any proposal relating to the clause then under discussion, and on each reflrainiug clause of the bill. Replying to a queston by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. Smith said that it was not proposed that these motions should be carried by a particular majority, like the rules of urgency. Mr. Smith’s motion proposes that the crimes bill be reported by June 17. The Parnellites will oppose the motion by every means in their power, alleging that it is un precedented. The Unionists approve the motion. A CHANGE ALLOWED. After the rejection of the several amend ments to clause 4 and the application of the cloture rule, Mr. Balfour moved that the section providing for the removal of the venue to London be omitted from the bill. [Pamellite cheers.] He admitted that there were strong objections to that provision and said that as long as the ends of the gov ernment would be attained they would not show themselves obstinate as to the means by which the ends were tombe reached. They thought it wise and prudent to aban don that clause in favor of providing for a trial by the Committee of Judges. [Cries of “Oh,” “oh!” and laughter.] Sir William Vernon Harcourt declared that the government would have been unable to have faced the condemnation which the adoption of the venue section would have brought upon them. The present proposal, he said, was a decent sham. Mr. Smith rose to speak amid the Parnellite cries of “Cloture, ” “Cloture,” and before he had finished his first sentence, Mr. Healy moved that the question be put. Mr. Healy’s motion was agreed to amid loud cheers and laughter. Mr. Balfour’s motion was then carried with out a division. THE GOVERNMENT YIELDS. Mr. Balfour announced that the pro vision for the Committee of Judges would be included in the second bill, which would be introduced immediately, embodying the new proposals of the Government. [Loud laughter and cheers.] Sir William Vernon Harcourt congratu lated the Government upon their new method of saving time in the House. “Co ercion bill No. 2, he said, “would probably be so ridiculous that it would require a third coercion bill to set it right.” It is probable that to-morrow or Monday the Pnmellites will raise the debate on the evictions in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Parnell and other leaders will sneak to-mor row on Mr. Smith's proposal. If the debate should be protracted the cloture rule will be applied. DAVITT DISCUSSED BY THE CABINET. The Cabinet held a meeting to-day. lasting an hour and fifty minutes. The subjects dis cussed were the speeches made by Michael Davitt in Ireland during the past fornight, in which he counselled the tenants to resist oviction by all means at their command, and the report of Col Sir Joseph Ridgeway on the progress of the Afghan Bouudary Commission work.

M’MACKIYS MOUTH OPEN. HE DENOUNCES O’BRIEN AND HIS DOINGS. He Thinks His Side Should Be Given— He Analyzes the American Patriot and Freely Gives His Views on the Questions at Stake—A Breezy Docu ment. New York, June 9 JohnMcMackin writes to the newspapers to-day and makes the following points: It is time that public attention should be directed to tho gross inconsistencies, not to say dishonesty, of the leaders of the Irish cause, and of their pro fessing friends and admirers in America. One of the reasons assigned by Mr. O’Brien for not attending the labor demonstration on Saturday was, that his doing so would “increase the difficulties” of Ireland by “embroiling” the Irish leaders “in American issues.” m’mackin’s .conundrums. “Why, then, should Mr. O’Brien ask the Americans to embroil themselves in the British or the Irish issues* If it be an im propriety for Mr. O’Brien to attend a meet ing in New York at which the American landlordism is condemned, manifestly it must be an impropriety for tho citizens of America to take a part., either by contrib uting money or by holding meetings, in condemning the landlordism in Ireland. Mr. O’Brien came to Canada to denounce Lord Lansdowne for doing what the American landlords do every day, without a word of censure from the men who dined Mr. O’Brien in the Hoffman House. Mr. O'Brien admits that the land of Luggacurran is the private property of Lord Lansdorvne, just as his American friends admit that the laud of New York is the private property of the Astors, the Rhinelanders and others. If New York landlords may, as they do, demand what rent they please' for the land they hold as their own, and evict, as they do, the tenants who refuse or who are too poor to pay, why should not Lord Lansdowne do the same? There are as many evictions, in proportion to the popu lation and as cruel evictions, in America, as in Ireland. The land laws in Ireland are as much more favorable to the tenants there than the land laws in America. two different plans. In Ireland the tenant who thinks he is over rented can go to the courts and get the rent reduced. In America the tenant must pay any rent the landlord chooses to fix or go, For years the Irish cause has been sus tained almost entirely by the funds supplied by the Irish of America. All along we were told that the money was asked for, and was to be used in the work of abolishing landlordism. Mr. O’Brien now tells us that this is not what the Irish movement aims at. He virtually says that they do not want to abolish the landlordism, but to perpetu ate it. They want a reduction of rent first, and then the clearing out of the present landlords to make way for other landlords to take their places! If this is what Ireland has desired and still desires, then the vast sums received by the Irish League from America, have been obtained on false pre tenses. What is right in Ireland cannot be wrong in America. AMERICAN EVICTIONS NOT RIGHT. We have not heard a word from Tam many Hall or even Bishop O’Farrell in con demnation of the brutal evictions a couple of weeks ago in Pennsylvania, when scores of families were pitched out of their houses into the streets and obliged to remain there all night, as the landlord forbade, under penalty of eviction, any one to give them shelter. Such a thing happening in Ireland w-onld be in dignantly denounced by the O'Donohues, and Graces, and Kellys, of York, but happening in ‘Free America’ those ‘haters of oppression’ have not a word of censure or disapproval. ‘Apatriotin Ireland, an Anarchist in America’ sterns to be the form that applies to the position of the men who have been shouting around O’Brien.” DISTILLING SUSPENDED. Whisky Producers to Shut Down Till Oct. 1, 1883. Louisville, June 9.—At a meeting of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association to-day a resolution recommending the cessation of the production of whisky until Oct. 1, 1888, was adopted. At least 95 per cent, of the producing capacity of the State was repre sented. An officer of tho association stated that there were now in bond in Kentucky 39,0tX),000 gallons of whisky of which 18,000,000 gallons were distilled in the last year. There are 5,000,000 gallons in foreign ports belonging to Kentucky men, and all this makes the supply large enough to last three years. He thought there would not lie a drop of whisky distilled in the State of Kentucky this year. It did not pay because the supply was greater than the demand, that prices were almost nominal. The resolution just adopted would balance things again and every whisky man in the country would be benefited. The resolution goes into effect July 1. GROVER COMING HOME.
