QUAKER TALK.

ton here yesterday AN enthusiastic
meeting was held this evening al
Bingley hall Twenty thousand people
were present, Speeches were made
by John Bright and Joseph
Chamberlain, president board OF trade
Mr.. Bright said the Tory
majority In the house OF lords
was aetuated by the same bitter hatred
of the Liberals as in 1882. "Who were
the peers?" he asked. They were the
spawn of blupderers, the wars aud cor.
ruption of the dark ages of our history.
They had en- cred the temple oil
honor, not through the temple Of
merit. but through the sepulchres
Of their ancestors. They were no bet
ter than tbsir fathers, some Of them
were worse for their privileges had
produced ignorance and arr0gancy.
The reform Of the house OF lords,
Bright declared, was urgent and
Inevitable. In the creation OF
new peers 10 pass the franchise
bill they would only get rid Of the
present difficulty. What was wanted
was the Limitation OF The veto power OF
the lords. Should the people submit,
or should they curb the mobiles ~ their
fathers had curbed the kings of Eng
inud? Bright then explained the
manner in which he would like 10 see
the power Of the lords restricted,
He would allow the peers to retain
their present powers during the first
session that n bill should he presented
them, but he would absolutely pre-
l., xatptnn ihA fra aa
or any bill second time.
Many people, no doubt, would think
him TOO lenient to the peers but he
preferred remedies which, while effect
ual, would cause the least disturbance
to the existing institutions. Cham
berlain read lengthy and powerful
attack upon tho peers. The divine
right Of kings, he said, has
been acknowledged To be dan
gerous. The divine right Of the
peer was ridiculous pigment
III the lords remain obstinate In oppo-
sition to the popular will the pres
ent agitation will continue to the bit
ter end. He looked forward with
eager hope To the result OF the agita-
tion. England the chosen home of
self-goyerned people, should never be
subservient To the insolent pretensions
OF an hereditary class. The senti-
ment Of the speaker was received with
enthusiastic applause. A resolution
was adopted denouncing the action of
the lords in rejecting the reform Of the
franchise.
