1t is an astonishingly bad inscription for
tom bstone which Mr. HERBERT SPENCER has
written for that Of Prot RICHARD A. PROCTOR
in Greenwood Cemetery. 1t Is hard to con-
ceiye Of anything worse as a mortuary memo
rial over a grave than this
ION public as private grounds. Prof. PRocroR's
premature death much to be lamented. He united
great detailed knowledge with broad general views in
an unusus. degree, and while admirably lifted for
popular expositor. at the time well eq pped
for original investigation. which, had he lived would
have added to our astronomical knowledge Prof.
PRocroE also TO be admired for his endeavors to
keep tho pursuit. OF science free from the eorrupng
and paraiyaing influence OF state aid.

The Home Rule bill which was passed on
Friday by the Commons is certain. in the
course Of about a week, to be rejected by
the House Of Lords. What will Mr.. GLAD
STONE do then? One may be quite sure
that he will not conform TO the wishes Of
his opponents by Immediately disso!ving
Parliament. There are some things that
mnust be done. and there are other things
y ut may be done with an eye to political
before an appeal is made to the

must at once be tskcn to meet the current
expenses OF the Government. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the annual budget
would long since havo been settled. but this
year the discussion OF the home rule project
has occupied nearly all the time available
for public bills. Until. therefore. the re-
quisite supplies are voted. Parliament can
not even DO adjourned. The Unionists have
threatened to resort TO obstruction, even
In the case OF money bills: but this

The House Of Representatives did good
days work on Friday In defeating by a
vote OF 1871 to SO the BoATNER amendment
to tho new code OF rules. The purpose
Of this amendment was to give to commit
tee the power Of shutting off debate on
bills reported by it and under consideration
in the House. Its effect would have been
closure by committee; and the minority in
opposition to any bill under consideration
would have been muzzled whenever it
pleased the man in charge Of that bill to
assume that it had been discussed enough
and to move the previous question. The
author Of the amendment was Democrat.
and some well-known Democratic mem
bers joined Mr.. REED and the Republl-
cans in advocating 1t. Mr.. WILSON.
Gen. CATcHINGs. and others defended tho
rights Of tho minority. and the defence
prevailed. 1t was well that 1t did, for the
temporary convenience which committee
closure might now and then afford. would
be outweighed by permanent and essen
tial injustice. There have been times in
recent memory when fllibustering was high
and useful patriotism. and there is no rea-
son to suppose that such times will not come
again. Debate. and plenty of it. is the great
necessity OF a deliberative body. and the
Democrats should leave to Mr.. REED and
the Republicans intolerance Of opposition
and the desire for summary voting.
Mr.. WILSON and the other Democrats who
defeated the BoATNER amendment did a
good service to their party. for they pre-
vented it from playing into the hands OF
the enemy: and to the House, for they de-
Tended the freedom Of debate and the pro-
lection Of the minority.
