ridicule of his party associates and merit
ing the contempt of his National and
Liberal opponents. Both sides had been
given ample reason to form the optn-
ions they had assumed, and neither
neglected the opportunity afforded to
build political capital thereon. Suddenly,
however, the ex-Chancelor Of the Ex-
chequer looms up as a champion Of right,
and demands that the Tories keep their
pledge. This is rather too much to expect
of any political party, and particularly of
of the Tory party of the present day.
Lord Randolph Churchill was in perhaps
greater request last night than he has
been for many months, but he sedulously
denied himself to every body, and
is thoroughly enjoying the stampede he
has made among his erstwhile colleagues.
To be consistent is not Tory
trait, nor is it, indeed, char
acteristic of any faction of English
or Irish parties, but the time has come.
without doubt, when the season of tergi-
versation and insincerity through which
all parties and factions have passed, and
by which they have sought to deceive
each other, has passed into an era when
pledges must be kept, and estimates of
decisive gains to great political parties
must be based upon the results achieved,
rather than upon the allurements held out
to desirable supporters.

on Lord Dunraven's bill to reform the
House of Lords. Several favored reform,
but did not agree with the bill itself.
Lord Salisbury thought that the proposed
changes were excessive. He was willing,
however, to consider the admission of life
Peers, and was willing to introduce a
separate bill for this purpose. He said
that he would also consider other needful
reforms. Lord Granville said that if this
concession had been made long ago. it
would have averted many attacks on the
House of Lords. Lord Dunraven with
