THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL
The House of Lords'Amendments to
That Measure Agreed to by
the Lower House.
Associated Press.

London, March LIN the house Of
commons this afternoon the lords
amendment to the local government bill
was taken up. Gladstone addressed the
house with marvellous energy and vigor
He said the government felt that the
operation of sending and resembling the
bill from one house to the other had
continued long enough. To continue the
process would be a loss of dignity to
both houses, and the government de-
cided to stop the operation and take a
decided course. The government had
the choice of rejection of the house of
lords amendment, abandoning the hope
of passing the bill, or to accept them
under protest. with the hope of soon
reversing them. The government adopt
ed the latter course. Gladstone con-
tinued: I'VE have now reached an acute
stage 1t appears the lords desire to
annihilate the whole work of the house
of commons. The differences between
the houses are not temporary or casual.
This state of things, am compelled to
say cannot continue. There is higher
authority than the house of commons.
namely, the authority of nations, which
must in the last resort decide at once.
When that judgment is to be invited is
a question which the government alone
can decide" Gladstone closed BY ask
ing the house to accept the lords
amendments.
Hon. A. j. Balfour, the conservative
leader, replied. He said Gladstones
speech was a declaration against the
ancient constitution OF the realm. The
home rule bill convinced the country
that legislation must be controlled by, a
chamber which would not betray them
At the conclusion of Balfours speech |
the amendments were agreed to--27S to
S7-and the house adjourned while Mr.
Gladstone was talking. 1t was whis;
pered on all sides that the great liberal
leader was making his last speech to
the commons. His delayed attack on
the lords delighted the radicals and the
Irish.
