In tbe House of Commons last night Mr. Morley resumed the debate on Parnell's amendment to the address in reply to tbe Queen's speech, submitted tbe previous evening. He (Mr. M.) agreed that The Only Effective and Practicable Remedy for tbe present perplexing crisis in Irisb affairs could be found nowhere else outside a reform of the law and tbe adoption of such a system of Government as would satisfy tbe needs and secure the confidence of tbe Irisb people. In short, be said, tbe system demanded to meet tbe emergency was self-government, and no remedy short of that would prove equal to the occasion. It was no discredit tbat England had Failed to Govern Ireland successfully by the machinery at present in operation. Where tbe discredit appeared was in refusing to abandon what had proved to be An Impossible Task. A similar attempt to govern by force had failed in America and Canada, and it had h. en found to fail in Ireland as well. Celebrating L.ust February's Riots. Upwards of ten thousand Socialists assembled at Clerkenwell lust evening for the purpose of Celebrating ihe anniversary of tbe big riots which took place in February, 1886.
