At a time when the life of the nation flowed smoothiy and men were apt to forget that liberty and political equal- ity had been purchased only at a high price of blood and suffering and mai tained only by the everlasting vigil- ance of men who held them dear, the legislature set apart a day for the consideration of the principles out of ich the nation sprang and upon esfs its greatness. In the present cataclysm in human affairs, when the old order changeth nd the old standards are shaking upon their pedestals, there is less meed of reverent memories and calm delibera- tion, but there is an lnfinitely greater need of a burning faith in the eternal soundness of those ideals and of a high resolve #iat they shall be maintained A LASTING SETTLEMENT OF THE IRISH QUESTION.

The premier -concluded with an ap- peal that for a time all debate on the ion, both in the house of com- mons and outside, be suspended, in view of the adverse effect such argu- ment might have on the difficult un- dertaking facing the government, The premier's speech was tiedd with intense interest by theé ms he had scarcely resumed nis seat wher!
