Mr T. Lindsay Bulck, Secretary of the Gladstone Branch of the Irish National League, delivered a lecture last evening in the Hibernian Hall, Barbadoes street. on the subject of "Home Rule for Ireland. The attendance was not very large, and the chair was occupied by Mr W. Hoban. •Tbe lecturer, who is thoroughly convw* sant with his subject, and has a ready oornmand ot language and clear delivery, explained at the outset that he was there to demand for Ireland her rights, and to ask them for their assistance tojgive her freedom from tyranny. To give Ireland a voice in that which concerned herself would not give her an unfair advantage, and there was nothing in the nationality of Irish men to make them forgetful or ashamed of what their country was in need of. He then went on to trace the cause of lie land's wrongs to the institution of land lordism in the country, and pointed out how the tenants had been continually and systematically oppressed by the raising of rents to provide the means for the absentee landlords to enjoy themselves* on the Continent and elsewhere. In vain had the people pleaded for a reduction of rent or for assistance from the Government, and it was for the purpose of combining and agitating for their rights that the National League was organised. The most effective weapon In bringing about a reduction of rents was the Plan of Cam paign, but it was no part of the plan to deprive a landlord of his rights. During the time tbe League had been in existence some good work had been done. He drew a bright word picture of what he held would result from the granting of Home Rule to Ireland. He pointed to the services Irishmen had rendered to England in her battle for liberty and prestige, and argued that if liberty was good for Eng lishmen it should be good for Irishmen. He spoke strongly against the present system of governing Ireland, in which he said coercion, eviction, and murder were the chief ingredients, and advocated a democratic system of government such as that of the Australasian colonies.
