The Dukes and Lords.

The dukes and lords have made a show
ing Of indifference to the popular will by
defeating the home rule bill.
The debate in the House of
Lords on the bill did not in
terest anybody either in this
country or England 1t is admitted
that the speeches did not rise to the level
Of mcdiocrity, and some of them were so
e sccedingly dull and stupid that atten-
ton was called to them because of
those qualities alone Few of the dukes
and lords know anything about the home
rule question. They are so much occu-
pied in finding ways and means to amuse
themselves that they do not concern them
selves with the great questions which
agitate the masses.
II was well understood, of course. that
the bill would be defeated in the House of
Lords The dukes and lords We're called
rom he pleasure resorts on the CONT
nent and from their country places to de-
feat it. But its defeat in the upper house
of parliament will not kill it. Mr. Glad
stone has his programme all mapped out,
and now that the dukes and lords have
done what they were expected to do he will
appeal again to the masses and will be
sustained by such a majority that the
dukes and lords will have to do his bid
ding.
The House of Lords is one of the ancient
institutions of England, but it is an insti-
tuition for which the respect of the people
is steadily decreasing. OReOf these days
there may come a demand that the House
of Lords shall be abolished, and it is not
improbable that it will prove to be popu-
lar demand. 1t has always been an OBJ
struction TO reforms, and the masses are
beginning to ask whether it isn't a useless
institution, and to discuss the advisabiity
of getting rid of it. In the campaign
that viii follow the rejection by the lords
of the home rule bill the reasons for abol-
ishng the House of Lords may find ex-
preston. The dukes and lords are steadily
losing their influence with the masses.
