THE House OF Lords
Important Manifesto Issued
By the National Liberal
Federation.
OF POWER.
TO Mend or End the Power Be-
tween the Throns and the
People.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

LONDON. Sept. 13, 1893. The circular
issued yesterday by the National Liberal
Federation, mention of which was made
in these dispatches, is virtually an inn
portant Ministerial manifesto. The
Federation has sent to every federated
association In the United Kingdom
copy of the manifesto, the substance of
which Is here given
THE rejection of the Home Rule bill
by the House of Lords not only marks
another Stage in the history of the Irish
question, but has hearings SO important
to our symtem of Parliamentary govern
ment as to call for very careful considera-
tlon. For seven years the Irish home
rule question had been subjected to
discussion in the constituencies more
full, thorough and sustained than had
ever before been given to any political
proposal.
sin July, 1892, Mr.,Gladstone came into
power with clear mandate to deal with
the subject"
The circular then briefly summarizes
the course of the bill in the House of
Commons and the House of Lords, and
then continues:-
1.-The seven years. discussion by the
tton by the House of Commons, and the
definitely ascertained wishes of over two
millions OF electors are all to count as
nothing when opposed to the views OF
some four hundred Conservative peers
representing themselves alone and for
the most part assembled merely by
virtue OF being the sons of their fathers

cion ministry appealed to the country

Lord Salisbury and his colleagues today
over ride the verdict pronounced at the
polls and arrogAte to themselves para
mount authority in the state. The play
of various portions of our constitu-
ton which Lord Salisbury threatened
has been set in motion, and the perman-
ent Tory majority in the House of Lords
is now pitted against the popularity
elected majority OF the House of Com
mons. Addressing the members of the
National Liberal Federation at the great
New Castle meeting held two years ago,
Mr.. Gladstone said-
III Lord Salisbury's threats are carried
out the House Of Lords will raise up
question which will take precedence of
every other question, because upon that
question alone will depend whether the
country is or is not self governing. or
whether, on the contrary, there is a
power not upon or behind the crown, but
tetWeen the throne and the people hat
will stop altogether the action of the
constitutional machine.
THAT issue is now raised and the
question of mending or ending the House

Secretary Hoke Smith, Of the Depart

likely need Investigation.

He says II is an attempt to starve the
old soldiers and that the only way to stop
it is to assassinate the President and
secretary.
The pension attorney is Pittsburgsr.

secret for the present.
The entire matter has been reported to

excuse only one. He then addressed the

the Fort Lee pool rooms, and said that the
laws passed by the Legislature at Trenton
last fall, legalizing pool selling inside of
race tracks, had nothing whatever to do
