LONDON, DEC. i1.-An editorial in the TTaoHs
to-day says: s. Some conmotion was caused in
the mouse or commons by the announcement OF
the chancellor OF the eXcheQuer that he would
rot proceed with the motion for a grant in aid
OF the sufferers in the RbodOpe district The
opposition triumphed over the sudden change
OF front, yet the Introduction and withdrawal
OF The motion become very simple when the
reasons are stated. 1t was thought by the min
isterS that the distress revealed by the report
OF the RnOd0pe commission was fitting object
for parliamentary aid, but it would have been
indec0r0uS TO make an act OF charity the occa-
sion or heated debate and the purpose Of the
government was no sooner known than IL was
clear 1t would be resisted On both sides OF the
house. The chancellor Of the excheauer thought
IL better TO refrain from making the motion.
even at the loss OF the SarcaSmS with which he
was rewarded last night. Many conservatives
are opposed TO granting public money at time
OF severe distress at home, and large part of
the opposition would have seen in the act a DO
Htfeai purwoSe.'
