| accidents as matter of right to the workman

| negligence. The Parish Councils measure is
of the highest Importance to the party wire
pullers, and il is highly probable that if this and
| the Employers Liability bill be not carried be-
| fore the prorogation at Christmas Mr. Gladstone
| will adopt the expedient once suggested by the
Lords committee to resume these measures next
session at the point where hc left off this session
The business next week will be chiefly devoted
to Supply and small bills TO which the Oppos-
ton is not unfavorable II is very likely that
the House Of Commons will rise within "A fort
night. After securing his resolution last Monday,
whereby lie obtained a large proportion of mem
bers' time for Government business, Mr.. Glad
stone went off TO Scotland. Before doing he
had to listen to the serious complaint of the
Welsh members respecting the treatment of the
Suspensory bill. Tafy is in Il very rate
mood, and if the common report be true, Mr.. Glad
stone has been compelled to mollify him by prom
islng that the next session should see the intro
duction, not of the Suspensory measure but Of the
more sweeping proposal of Welsh disestablislment
Few people, however, believe that Mr.. Gladstone
will seriously attempt to carry this proposal. 1t
would absorb as much time as Home Rule, and
be of far less value 10 the Liberal wircpuors at
the next general election than Employers l4abil-
",
London, or Registration These four measure
are likely to constitute the leading points Of the
early Ministerial programme According TO
present appearances, the Welsh members intend in
sisting upon their pound of flesh. If they main
tain this attitude the general election may be
deemed near at hand.
Mr. Gladstonc's promises to these Welsh fanatics
are already arousng discomfort in another dircc-
ton. The temperance party is highly indignant
at the prospect of the Veto bill being shelvcd.
The Irish party have also got their grievance; the
Home Rule bill has just been defeated, and they
know not how it can be again revived. The
scheme indicated last week is not unlikely to take
this shape The Home Rule measure, precisely
as rejected last night, with minor alterations.
will be reintroduced next February in the House of
Lords. which will. of course, reject il. MIR. Glad
stones majority in the House Of Commons Will
then carry resolution affirming the necessity oi
Home Rule for Ireland on lines which the upper
house has alone refused. This o! course, will
he a mere declaratory resolution, but will help to
foment the cry of Down with the Lords should
the action of the Welshmen any other crcum-
stance bring about Ministerial defeat and a CON
scquent general election. You thus see how
difficult is the team that Mr. Gladstone has 10
drive On one measure alone is he his own
master.
