Debate On the Royal Grants Resume
ed In the Heuse OF Commons.
LONDON, July 26.-When the debate on
royal grants was resumed In the House of
Commons to-day, Mr.. Bradlaugh said he
found difficulty in discussing the question
calmly, when Mr.. Balfour outside the house
denounced the objections as disgusting and
sordid. The opponents of the grants meant
nothing personally discourteous to the MEM
bers of the royal family, but were simply
acting within their rights when they met the
demands Of the crown on a question OF
6nance with direct negative. Much of the
argument in favor of the grants was based on
the erroneous idea that the crown, under the
civil lists acts, from George I. onward, sur.
rendered its private property In exchange
for a civil list. Neither George I.
nor his SUCCESSORS, Mr.. Bradlaugh
declared, surrendered anything. The present
royal family never surrendered anything of
farthing value to the country. The commit
tee of inquiry had elioited the fact that dur
ing the present reign the savings upon GER
tain classes under the civil list act, instead
of being applied to defray the charge of
other classes, had been handed to the queen
without the authority of Parliament and in
breach of the statute C"CrIss of shear, hear. y
Right Hon. w. II. Smith, the government
leader, denied that the alleged savings of the
queen were over s3, 000, 900, but he declined
to show how much money had either been
saved by the queen or drawn by the other
members of the royal family from all sources.
Mr.. Bradlaugh said there ought to be
nothing to conceal. The fact Of the conceal.'
ing led to exaggerated ideas. The refusal Of
| the government to disclose the wealth annass-
ed by royalty justified the aversion of the
country to royal grants. (Cheers.)
Lord Randolph Churchill reminded the
/ house that Sir Henry Ponsonby, Hex Majes-
/ ty's private secretary, few years ago denied
| reports that the queen was making immense
| investments in ground-rents and stated that
she had not FL 100000 to invest in any
| thing. Lord Randolph said that the radicals
over-estimate of the queens wealth was de-
signed to excite popular feeling against royal
ty. He objected to the adoption Of methods
| the purpose of which was &c foment clanol
against the throne which, in spite of them,
| would remain steadfast in the affections OF

NJ. Labouchere's motion to adopt his SUBJ
stitute for the report of the royal grants
committee was rejected by vote of 1898 to
116.
Mr., Morley will on Monday move an
amend ment declaring that the house Is IN
willing to increase the burdens of the peo-
pie without assurances that no further granite
will be made.
Lord Harrington complained of Mr.. Brad
laughs pedagogic and minatory air. He said
that if it was true that the law was contra
vened in allowing civil list SURPRISES to &C.
crue to the crown it was almost case fol
impeaching the present and former minis
tries 1t was impossible, he contended, t
lay down a hard and fast rule. He though
that the Queens waving the claims of tn.
younger children met the present case ant
that the future might be left to future par
lament. In any case the Queens message
! was worthy of respectful attention. Sir VII
fred Lawson twitted the conservatives TO
| refusing grant to the Prince consort. ant
evoked laughter by recalling certain uncom
plimentary references made by Mr.. Chamber
lains to royalty.
