PARNELL, M. P. 129 who strangely blends in himself British member- ship, Yankee birth and connections, and violent Tory leanings was set to work. On the 4th of July he came down, to the House with what he thought was an eighty-ton gun, warranted to blow up " the obstructives " at a single discharge, and all his own invention too. Its charmingly simple principle was' to entrust to a majority of the House of Commons the power of crushing a minority at will. But this monster piece of ordnance, whi...le no doubt very effective for the purpose Mr. Puleston had in mind, was unfortunately too sweeping in its discharge, and could not be counted on to avoid blowing up others than mere Irish members. The House very soon saw that this was the case ; and the conse- quence was that Mr. Puleston's eighty-ton gun was rejected amid general laughter. The English Tory of the name of Blake per- haps smarting under that " flattest contradiction " which he had received from Mr. Parnell on the morning of the 3rd returned to the charge on the 4th, burning for the opportunity of bringing the member for Meath to book about his alleged disrespectful language concerning the Speaker of the House.
