Tho Premier of Canada, in the course of a speech, let fall an observation that although a century had \ elapsed since the conquest o( the '>*& cou ntry by England the inhabitants \jfr of Quebec wero still Frenchmen at heart, and not colonials, Wliat Ireland Demands.. Tho following extract from Mr Dillon's speech in Sydney, formulates, in a few words the policy of the Irish Parliamentary party:—" We for the sake of harmony, and to smooth the path of tho Liberal Party, woro determined to do full justico to tlio Irish people, and were, therefore,

to forego the rights which flFyou possess; to give every. conceivable guarantee of our good faith to show that wo were not Separatists. We gave up many things that yon would not give up, to facilitate and case the position of our friends in England, and we speak with the fullest powers of our people in Ireland. If to-morrow tlio English Government consented to grant us tho power of local government in Ireland, every single concession which they could demand from us in reason flo secure the unity of tlio Empiro and the internal government of the 1 country would be made. Wo do not claim nor do wo want to interfere with the external relations of the Empiro, Wo do not want tho power to maintain a fleet, as you havo in Australia, or to maintain an army; wo are prepared to leave that to tho Imperial Government, We aro content to go into this arrangement, practically speaking, unarmed, and leavo it to tho Imperial Empiro to Imyo control over us, Wo wish fib make and 'administer the ™aws which affect Ireland alone, _and havo that power in tho '" fonr comers of tho Irish land alone. I fail to see how in any way such a power as that could affect the British Empire. Except so far as this goes I think it would materially strengthen tho British Empire, because it would remove a troublous source of discontent. Now, I can. not understand how, in the face of tho statement I havo mado-and I now make it with the fullest autho-

rity, and it is the same statement wo Ljigie put forward from the outset— Spw any Australian can get up and f say wo are asking for unreasonable things. But the only domands that have boon made at all are those which I have said, It lias been said byavory few, indeed-and I notice that those who made such statements are plainly ignorant of the questionthat wo enjoy in Ireland the saine liberties that you enjoy hero, and that the people of Great Britain have dttways enjoyed."
