NEWS FOR THE PEOPLE

Of what is the House of Commons made ?
Of Members for Land and Members for Trade,
Of Members for Cotton, and Timber and Ships.
And Members for Stocks, and Shares, and Serer
But it's like a Church without a Steeple,
For no Man there represents the People.

The House has Members for Foundries and Mines,.
And Menibers for sundry Railway Lines,
And Members for Sugar, and Tea, arid Spice,
And Members for Pepper, and Coffee, and Rice ;
Yet it's like .a Church without a Steeple,
When there's no Man there to speak for the People

The House of Commons is not without
Members for Ale and Beer, and Stout,
And Members for Whiskey, and Members for Gin,
The House of Commons there are within ;
,Still it's like a Chitral without a Steeple,
'Cause nobody there cares a curse for the People

There are members for Church, both high, and low
And Members for Meeting-house also;
And gentlemen whom the house could spare,
Old Nick, I fear, has some members there ;
So it's like a Church• without a Steeple.

These swells

ao time to think of the People

And there ars members—too large a lot—
For the venal rogue and the drunken sot,
Members returned through T.B.D. '
For Sovereign Alley, by W.B.
Just like a Church without a Steeple,
Such Gents have nothing to spare for the People

Now being constituted so,
The House of Commons has fallen low,
For genius and commanding mind,
As in the time of need we find,
They are like a Church without a steeple,
In a " pinch" they have always to turn to the peeplc

It has plenty of mouths to talk and prate ;
Rut where are the heads to rule a State ?
They'll preach and prose till.all is blue,
But which of them knows the thing to do!
All the time like a Church without a steeple,
When the work must be done it is done by the People'

The hour is come, Brawn leads the van,
And nobly he's backed by the. BrITIMIKAN

SO now, Lneit friends; it is very plain
We shall not seek Reform in vain ;
The liouse. shall no longer be " minus " a Steeplc
Next session'" the" KELLY shall sit for the Peop
