THE CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP IN THE PEERS.

The Globe last night announced, as if it knew all
about it before, and so ought all its contemporaries,
that Lord Cairns was to hold office until Easter. So
the evil day, the time when the division in the party
will have to be healed or made more
apparent, is put off. The Globe notices
with some hauteur the comments which have been
made on this subject. "We Conservatives," it says,
" are not much disturbed, as we have said once or
twice, by the kind anxiety of our opponents to settle
our affairs for us, and can rest content in the posses-
sion of knowledge that a worthy successor to our
present chief in the Upper House will come forward
in good time."

TIII JUDICIAL POWER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS,

The Government has evidently been considering
judicial reforms. The other day the rumour was
that the Privy Council was to be rearranged ; to-day
the story relates to the House of Lords as a judicial
tribunal. The former question is difficult enough,
but the latter is most definitely so, as any attempt
to arrange the Upper House will probably be
made a party question—suggested reforms
will be interpreted as proposals to over-
throw the Constitution. The Scotsman tells us
however, that a trial at reform will be made, but in
what particular way does not inform us. Life peers
were rejected some years ago by the Earl of Derby
and his party, and thrown out last year. What other
mode romans without practically depriving the
Lords of their judicial functions it is hard to guess.
