Mr. W. O'BRIEN rose amid loud and prolonged cheers from the Irish members, and speaking for the first time in this House since his release from Tullamore Jail, said: All the speeches which have been made in support of the Government have seemed to follow the keynote struck by the Chief Secretary. They all appeared to be more or less artfully designed to draw angry retorts from these benches. It is one of our national faults to be very ready to resent injustice, and a most generous use our opponents have made of that characteristic. ("_Hear, hear._") The whole policy of our opponents towards Ireland, and the whole object of the powerful London newspapers, seems to be to get at the worst side of Irish and of English character, and to sting and goad us into doing things which will put new life into national prejudices that are expiring in spite of you. (_Opposition cheers._) Irishmen and Englishmen are becoming only too united for your purpose. Yours is a noble ambition! But you have failed in Ireland, and you will fail, I promise you, in this House also. There was a time when we came here with our hand against every man's, and every man's hand against us. We expected no quarter, and to the best of our ability we gave none. It seemed to no purpose to struggle against the tremendous and cruel forces arrayed against us; but that is all at an end forever, thanks to the right honorable member for Mid-Lothian. (_Cheers._) We have come to this House no longer as enemies among enemies. We count ourselves Ishmaelites no longer in this House, nor in this land of England. We are now among allies and friends who were not ashamed nor afraid to stand by our side and by the side of our people in many a bitter hour of trial and calumny last year.

(_Opposition cheers._) We believe that it does not even represent England. (_Renewed Opposition cheers, and counter Ministerial cheers._) It is a majority obtained by foul means and upon representations which have turned out to be utterly false. We know that it is a majority who, two years ago, were not ashamed to receive their offices at the hands of the men whom they are now libelling in England and torturing in Ireland. (_Loud Opposition cheers._) We have no respect for that majority. I doubt whether in their secret hearts many of them have much respect for themselves. ("_Hear, hear._") I know very well that they are extremely ill at ease. We believe, as I say, that we are winning. (_Cheers._) The right honorable gentleman opposite (the Chief Secretary) has failed in Ireland. (_Home Rule cheers._) He has failed to smash our organization. He has failed to break the spirit of our people. He has failed to
