On this meager installment Of justice criticisms
rained down from private members. Mr.. Goschen
instantly advised the House to run Mr. Plmsofl's
bill against that of the Government. Mr.. Reed, the
greatest shipbuiding authority in the world, told
the House this bill would not do. Mr.. R0ebuck
declared the country would not be satisfied with it.
Mr.. Mundella appealed to the Government to give
the House opportunity to discuss both together.
This Mr. Disraeli loftiy said could be done with
out his help. lie put down the bill for Friday morn
ing tomorrow and shall soon see what the House
means to do. About the feeling Of the country there
can be no question. Mr.. Roebuck is quick Judge in
such matters. Something must be done if the
country is to be satisfied The press uters no uncer
tain voice this morning The Times declares that the
new bill does not bear out the promise given and
will not do even as makeshift for the coming Win
ter. The Standard itself admits the House did not
relish Sir c. Addereys proposals. and while it does
not believe Mr.. Pmsofs bill can be passed, pro-
its principles sound and advises the Govern
ment to adopt it in part. If they refuse there will
still be time for other meetings to repeat the de-
mands of those already held-possibly even to con-
vince the Government that for once ii is wiser to
legslate in accordance with public opinion 30 over
