MR.. GLADSToNE'S WARNING.
He Cautions the Lords Against Opposing
the VIII of the people.

the VIII of the People.
ED1NpURGH, Sept 2S-Mr. Gladstone ar
rived here at o'clock last evening, and
the premier was enthusiastically received
Albert hall was crowded to the doors long
before the opening Of the meeting at
which he was to speak, and when he was
finally introduced he was unable TO pro-
Ceed for several minutes, so great was the
enthusiasm of the audience In the course
Of his address he said.
"The present parliamentary institutions
are too week for their purpose There is
something wrong and defective in the
present institutions Between the two
there is a great barrier-namely the Irish
question. Why has this question contin-
ued to exist so long, and who is answerable
for its remaining before us? There is only
one reply-the responsibility rests with the
house of lords.
"A majority of the lords gave an opinion
hostile TO tpe home rule bill, majority of
the commons an opinion in its favor. Yet
1t is hardly a case i'm which one opinion is
rs good as another The peers form their
oninions for themselves; they are response
II to nobody, and if it proves wrong they
will neither be abused nor be made to
suffer in any way. Our OPTION is not
solely our own, but was formed in discus
sion with the nation, and was given with
all the authority that a national verdict
can confer. l think, therefore that the
peers don't stand well on their own show
ing.
81 was not so sure when Lord Salisbury
| threatened a year ago to destroy the home
rule bill that the lords recognized that
this might involve the question Of their
own independent and responsible exist
ence. If It should ever happen that the
house Of lords should bring about disso-
luton Of the house of commons depend
upon it, the people will not consider the
home rule bill alone, but will mix with it
another question, on which the lords may
bitterly lament, when it is too late, that
| they ever raised an issue"

sion shall organize by the election of one

graphers, employees, and may administer

The immense waste of coal in these banks
can hardly be realized. Statistics show that
since the commencement of mining in 1920
to 1898, there have been shipped to market
S2O 1862, 995 tons of anthracite coal Adding
10 per cent. to this amount brings the total
production to over 9O2 100000 tons 1t is
also estimated that 30 per cent. of the total
shipmen to market is sent to the dump, and
there have been deposited on the banks
nearly 3l6 OOO 900 tons.

facture, at present prices, was admitted to be
too great, and the plant was closed down,
temporarily it is claimed.
