but hardly great financial speech-a speech from tho
main propositions of which the leading financial au-
thorites on his own side of the House dissented.
The exclusion of strangers Mr.. Dsrael now proposes
to make dependent on vote of the House without
amendment or debate. So far he has been brought
but his measure is only half measure for it does
not deal with the publication Of the debates, which,
unless Lord Hartington's plan or some other Is
adopted, will remain breach OF privilege. Inc
most startling incident that has yet occurred Is Mr.
Disraelis reply to The Times leading article accusing
his Government of want of energy. To this charge
Mr. Disraeli offered q defense, which would nave
been good had his statements been accurate 1he
Times completely refuted them next morning. Lord
Harrington tainted tho Prime Minister with taking
notice of a leading article in newspaper-and
dare say to Lord Harrington it did seem odd. But
the world gets on faster than 80 leisurely person
can find time to notice. Mr.. Dsraeli made his last
blunder by telling the House he should pass all his
measures, even if he had to keep them sitting into
September This is resented The House wants TO
be led, not bullied. @. W. D.
