1 he not only full-throated but nnani<
lie all the way from the door of hi* honeo
to the commons entrance was npontaneous
and thrilling. It vented itself at the begin,
ning of the journey in a roar of applaSse
hearty and great enough to make most
itatemuen dizzy, and when the
whole immense multitude can-ht
the signal one tremendous lone
sustained cheer was sent up, the like of
which was never before heard iu London
and which was plainly audiole in the house,
lhe cheering continued until long after
Gladstone entered the parliament building
and within the building the Prime Minister s
reception, though less demonstrative, was
equally enthusiastic with that he had
just had without. He was apparently in the
Jest of spirits and bowed right and left to
hjs acquaintances as he passed them.
As soon as the usual formalities attending
the opening of Parliament were over it was
voted to postpone the reading and answer
ing of all questions in notice papers. Hardly
had this been done when, ot 4:30p. m., Mr.
Gladstone entered the House. His entrance
was followed by a loud aud prolonged
chorus of cheers, which were continued for
several minutes. Among the Liberals and
Purnelhtes the wildest enthusiasm prevailed,
and it is safe to say that no such scene was
ever witnessed before iu the House of Com
mons.
As soon as the cheering had ceased Mr.
Gladstone rose and moved for permis ion to
introduce a bill to amend previous legisla
tion aud to make provision for the future
government of Ireland. On making this
motion Mr. Gladstone said:
“The time has arrived when both honor
and duty require Parliament to come to a
decisive resolution. It should be endeavored
to liberate Parliament from tho restraints
under which during late years it had inef
fectually struggled and to restore legisla
tion to its unimpeded course. It is our
duty to establish harmonious relations be
tween Great Britain and Ireland on a foot
ing of free institutions, in which English
men, Scotchmen and Irishmen have u like
interest.
This Rentiment was greeted with pro
longed cheers. As soon as quiet was re
stored, Mr. Gladstone entered upon a brief
review of the general features of past legis
lation for Ireland. He dwelt on tho coer
cive aud repressive measures which had
been put iu force from time to time and de
precated any further resort to rude reme
dies of intimidation. “Since the year 1833,”
he said, “only two years have passed with
out coercive legislation for Ireland, and in
spite of this, the law continues to be disre
garded, because it is invested iu tho eyes of
the Irish as a foreign aspect. Were
further coercion to be successful it
would require two conditions—autocracy
of government and secrecy of public tran
sactions. [The Parnellites cheer, j The
mainspring of tho law in England is felt to
be English, in Scotland to be Scotch; but
iu Ir« laud it is not felt to bo Irish. The
first condition of civilized life in Ireland
detunuds that the people have confidence in
the law and sympathy therewith. Tho
problem, therefore, before Parliament at
the present time is to reconcile imperial
unity with a diversity of legislation.He
believed that the government had found
tho solution of this problem in
the establishment of a Par
liament ut Dublin for tho
and proceeded with his speech by Asking:
“How long would it be, if the meas
ure that has been submitted should
become a law, before tho Irish
contribution to the imperial exchequer
would be denounced by the Irish and repro
bated as an English tribute? For my part,
I have no hesitation in saying that I think a
complete separation of Ireland from Great
Britain would be preferable to the plan of
the government that has just been proposed.
We should then know tho worst at once.”
As an alternative scheme, Trevelyan said he
would propose that the execution of the
law and the maintenance of order should be
maintained in tbe handH of the government
Then ho w ould propose the creation of cer
tain local bodies, which should be composed
of members freely elected. These bodies
should be’intrusted with and held respon
sible for many of the subordinate functions
of the government, such as providing for
education, superintending details of local
government, providing for the relief of the

conduct of business, both legislative and
administrative. [Loud cheers by tho Far-
jK’llitesJ. “The political equality of the
three countries, ” said Gladstone, “must be
recognized. Therefore, there must be an
et uitable distribution of the imperial funds.
The peculiar circumstances existing in Ire
land also make it necessary to establish
safeguards for the minority m the country.
Tho government will be obliged to consider
the class connected with tho land and the
relations which they will sustain with the
Protestant minority. As Ireland is to have
a domestic Legislature it will, therefore, be
impracticable for Irish Bepresentativi
come here.”
The intention of the government bill,”
Gladstone said, “is that the Parliament at
Dublin shall be a dual body. It is to be
mposed of two orders, ouch of which shall
have the power to veto the acts of the other,
The first order will include 103 members,
the second order 206^ Twenty-eight of the
preseut Irish peers will continue to sit in
the Houso of Lords, and they will he granted
the option to have lifo seats iu the first
Irish order. The offioe of Viceroy of Ireland
will not be discontinued. Iho bill intends
that the Viceroy shall remain and that the
office shall hereafter be non-political; that
*,'the incumbent of tho office will not be
xpected to retire with the downfall
of the British ministry. The
bill empowers the Queen to
delegate to the Viceroy such of her preroga
tives os she may choose. The lush con-
tabulury will r< main under authority as at
present. The bill provides that Parliament
shall have no authority to establish or en
dow any particular religious sect. It will
be empowered, however, to deal with
laws ufTecting trade and i avigation,
weights aud measures and tie postal
administration The hill will preserve
the fiscal unity of the empire, but tbe
eutire proceeds arising from customs and,
• seise duties in Ireland will be held for the
benefit of that country. These funds are
to be used for the discharge of Irish obliga
tions. Any balance which may remain af
ter this is to remain in the Irish cxchefuer.
The provisions of the bill vest in the Iri-S
legislature the power of imposing taxes. It
is proposed that the maximum duiation of
tbe Ineb Parliament shall be five years It
shall have no power to interfere with pre
rogatives of the Crown, such ms the army,
the navy, or any other armed forces. It
shall have nothing to do with foreign or
colonial affaita.”
Mr. Gladstone resumed his seat amid
bursts of enthusiastic cheers, which were
sustained for several minutes. Mr. Glad
stone's speech was three hours and twenty-
five minutes iu duration. He finished at 8
o’clock. .. HpM
When the applause ha<* aubsided, George
Otto Trevelyan, who recently resigned the
position of Secretary for Scotland, arose,
and after eulogizing Gladstone's speech,
proceeded to say that he interposed thus
early in the debate in order to explain th*
reason for his resignation. He resigned
with extreme compunction and regret,
although the step when finally

with doubt m to it* propriety nor with the
Unit henitation. He bed joined the Cebi

At the conclusion of Trevelyan's speech
Parnell arose and was received with cheers
by the Irish members. He congratulated
Trevelyan on having, like tho French
General who had unsuccessfully defended
Paris, bis own plan—a plan,
however, which did not Heem to
awaken much enthusiasm in the House.
Trevelyan, he said, had stated why he had
left the government, but not why ho had
resigned liis post as chief Secretary. [Cheers
from the Irish benches.] Parnell then wont
on to justify his past utterances and action
which had been impugned by Trevelyan.
Speaking af America and the nssassinntion
literatnre which came from America, he
he said that most of the literatnre was
neither American nor Irish literature. “If
Trevelyan,” he continued, "were to study
tbe literature ot America at this moment he
would find that sympathy for a jnst settle
ment of the grievances of tho
Irish by the concession of a domestic
Legislature is shown by all classes, whether
Irish' or native horn Americans, and more
especially that nalivo born Americans are
welcoming tho efforts of Gladstone in the
belief that they will bring pcaoe between
England and Ireland, and more especially
between Irisli-Amcricans and England. It
is a remarkable fact that the great meetings
now being held in favor of an Irish
Legislature are mainly called and organized
by native-born Americans, by editors and
conductors of Irish-Amcrican newspapers.
We regard the fact that during the last five
or six months wo have succeeded in entirety
gaining the sympathy of the two great
parties in America, the Democrats and tho
ltepnblicans, as a good omen for the future.
[Laughter. ]
As to tho hill before the House, while re
serving his full expression of opinion until
he had seen the fact that there was still
living an English statesman who could de-
vote ir.s attention to this important matter,
ho begged to thank Gladstone for
what would not only prove a beneficial
measure from an Irish point of view, hut
which lie (Parnell) believed would be fonnd
to he ot equal benefit to England. The
hill, nevertheless, contained blots which tho
Irish representatives would do their best
to remove. One of them was fonnd in
the financial proposals of the bill, which
he regarded as very unfavorable
Ireland, especially in regard to Irish trib
ute to tho imperial exchequer. He also
complained of tho proposition relative to
tho two orders intended to constitnte the
Irish parliament, on the ground that the
first order, consisting of peers not Bubject
to the ibflnehce of the popular vote, would
have the power of hanging up measures de
manded by the people and their
representatives for two or threo years.
On tho whole, however, apart from
these defects, he believed the bill wonld be
cheerfully accepted by the Irish people and
their representatives aH a satisfactory solu
tion of the long-standing dispute between
the two countries, and as tending to pros
perity and peace in Ireland and to aatlafac-
tion in England. [Cheers. ] -
David ltohert l’lnnkett, Conservative
member for Dublin University, said the hill
was one that went much further than whnt
was nsnally spoken of ns "the repeul of the
union,” and he predictedJ-that public
opinion would regard the measure with
consternation and alarm. He felt nisared,
however, that the bill, which was practi
cally one lor the creation of a Parliament
of the National League, wonld never be
passed. (Opposition cheers.
On motion of Chamheilaln the debate waa
adjourned, Hir William Harcourt previously
stating that (Hailstone wonld move to-mor
row to give the debate precedenee over other
matters.

Among recent important discoveries by the food analysts
is that by Prof. Mott, U. S, Government Chemist, of large
amounts of lime and alum in the cheap baking powders. It
is a startling fact that of over one hundred different brands
of baking powder so far analyzed, comprising all those sold
in this vicinity, not one, with the single exception of Royal
Baking Powder, was found free from both limo and alum.
The use of alum is to produce a cheap baking powder. It
costs less than two cents a pound, whereas pure cream ot
tartar costs forty. Its effect upon tho system has been ascer
tained to he poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with
fatal results. Lime is tho most useless adulterant yet found ,
in baking powders. It is true that when subjected to heat a
certain amount of carbonic acid gas is given off, but a quick
lime is left, a caustic so powerful that it is used by tanners to
eat tho hair from hides of animals, and in dissecting rooms to
more quickly rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects.
Tlie effect of lime upon the delicate ^nembranes of the
stomach, intestines and kidneys, more particularly of infants
and children, and especially when taken into the system day.
after day, and with almost every meal, is pernicious in the
extreme, and is said by physicians to he one of the chief
causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the kidneys.
Chemists have found 12 per cent., or one-eightli of the weight,
of some of the baking powders prominently sold in this vicini
ty, to be lime. Tho wickedness of this adulteration is apparent.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food
analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of
other brands—arises from the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined by patent processes, which remove totally
the lime and tdl other impurities. These facilities are pos
sessed by no other manufacturer. The Chemist of the De
partment of Health of Brooklyn, N. Y., in which city the
works of the Royal Baking Powder Company are’situated,
after recent numerous experiments, reports:
“I subjected several samples of the Royal Baking Powder,
