PARLIAMENTARY TOPICS.
The chief topics in the House Of Commons this
week we're the suez Canal purchase, and the new
royal style and title OF Empress Of India. The tories
think that no serious mischief is meant by the oppo-
sition regarding the Cabinets Suez Canal share
dealings. Mr.. Gladstone thinks that if the purchase
Is not mistake it is a matter Of practically, no po-
litical consequence.
PERSONAL AGAINST THE PREMIER.
Lord Robert Montagu, member for westmeath,
had his usual fling at Premier Disraen denouncing
the suez purchase matter as gigantic stock job
bing,n and calling Egypt "a needy bankrupt going
for help to the richest Jew" pointing his finger at
Mr.. .Disraeh.
NOT IN Favor WITH HIS KINDRED
The House generally disapproved, but nobody
minds Montagu.
COMPLIMENT TO THE QUEEN.
The Premier quietly introduced the bill authorizing
the Queens assumption OF her new title of Empress
OF India He could not resist referring to the
Sovereign whose sway is acknowledged 'by princes
whose ancestors occupied their thrones when Eng
land was Roman province" and said the assump-
ton Of the title would be an answer to those mere
economists and foreign diplomatists who had con-
WINGED themselves that india was burden.
MR.. LOVES GRAND MISTAKE
Mr. Lowe, ex-Chancenor Of the Exchequer, erred
gravely during his reply in arguing that England
might ultimately lose India and that the title must
then be dropped.
A GRAND OPPORTUNITY sPIKSDIDLY UTILIZED.
Disraen seized the opportunity and carried the
House with him by uttering a whitening denuncia-
ton Of Engishmen who used such an argument.
THE OPPOSITION MAKES A POINT.
Mr.. Lowe then seriously impaired the position Of
the opposition in foreign politics. But he made a
good point when referring to the title OF Defender
Of the Faith, he said:"Queen OF Great Britain and
Ireland Empress Of India and Defender Of the Faith
What faithsp
PUBLIC OPINION.
The English papers do not see that the title Of
Empress rs greater in dignity than that Of queen.
am inclined to think that the Prince Of wales
would prefer the imperial title, especially II he in
tends to mingle much later on with the European
potentates.
A GLANCE AT HISTORY AND PRECEDENT.
At the meeting Of sovereigns convened by Napo-
eOn at Erfurt, the story goes that when the salute
