A Sisoi6can, Vote in the British Homss Of
Commons.
We print this morning cable despatch
British Parliament A Mr. Cowper Temple,
a kinsman, we believe, of Lady Palmerston,
made motion yesterday to the effect that
portion OF Epping Forest should be reserved
Cor public park. The Chancellor Of the
Exchequcr, Mr.. Lowe, and the Prime Minister,
Mr.. Gladstone, objected on the ground that
the property belonged to the Grown and not
TO the public Mr.. HarcOurt the we'll known
'sHistoricus" Of the Times and the Pal Nall
Gazette. rose and opposed the government,
maintaining that the people, not the Crown,
owned the grounds. The debate led 10 a
= majority Of iOl was opposed to the govern
ment.
The question is nice and the vote is in
siiuctve. In our judgment no such vote has
been pushed in many years. From the stand
point of the British loyalists the government
was no doubt right. In their estimation the
Crown is the centre of all authority. Revolu-
tons in England have not been few. The
English people, with all their faults-and their
faults have been numerous-have not since
the days of Charles the First been subservient
to the Crown. Bat the Cromwellian period
and the Restoration and the accession of
William and Mary, and the Hanoverian sue
cession, left the Grown in possession of all its
ancient rights. What are called the Crown
lands have always remained intact The
Prince Of Wales to-day is Duke Of Cornwall

wall il only one Of many examples which
might be mentioned, all OF which reveal the
fact that English revolutions although they
have given the people power, have left the
Crown in possession of it's ancient territorial
rights.
Al the same time IL must be admit tied that
the Gladstone government has made big

dare not speak of Crown rights. Monarchy
