OF constitutional exposition. Ministers can ad-
wise, or the majority of the Commons can COM
pei dissolution, but each at their merrill If the
elections go against them, the Ministers forfeit
their Offices, and the majority is converted into
minority in consequence OF misinterpreting
the Judgment Of the country. II tbcn the Lords
are II he invested with the power Of dissolv-
ing Parliament by hostile vote Loft them also
take the consequences. and not escapc with
impunty if they make mistake. "Lct us
have fair play and no favorw exclaims Mr.
Gladstone in his contention that the majority
in the Lords. if the country goes against it.
should be converted into a minority or disci-
plncd in some way. The logic is unanswcr-
able.
Nothing could be more adroit than this
method OF demonstrating the impractcahility
Of dissolution by vote of the Lords Indeed
the abstract proposition has only to be stated
in crlcr to cliry its own rcfntaton. The upper
House. in which a majority of 400 can be
mar.hallcd. renders double-paity government
a farce and representative institutions dclu-
sion IF such majority he armed with the
power Of nullifying the will Of an elective
chamber fresh from the constituencies and Of
forcing general election. il mrSt accept the
logical result of defeat and that will be- as
Nr Gladstone rlainly in'imatcs. the abolition
Of the upper House. That this consequence
may be avcrtcd is his Nope, for he has looked
on many times during his career while the
Peers have adapted themselves to circum-
stances and by timely concessions avoided a
direct issue with the Commons and the English
people Never before in this century have the
Lords acted with as little discretion rs they
have in this instance. Not content with eXcr-
cisng their constitutional right Of suspcnSive
veto, they have Haunted their majority in n
most offensive way. and then through their
leaders have challenged dissolution.
