Memorial Ceremonies of Frank
fort Lodge, No. %, 1. o. o. f.

One Of the most agreeable and
interesting entertainments that
has transpired in this city for a
long time occurred at the hall of
Frankfort Lodge, No. %, l. 90.
F., on Monday evening last.
Persons not present on that occa,
sion missed a great intellectual
treat.
The ceremonies were opened by
a beautiful and appropriate prayer
by Rev. George Darsie, after
which Judge w. H. Holt, Past
Grand Master of Kentucky, was
introduced and made an earnest
and eloquent address upon the
power and usefulness of women,
exhorting them to work for humane
and benevolent orders. Col. John
L. Scott also delivered a powerful
address upon the good the order
has accomplished in the last
seventy years. These speeches
were very impressive and were
highly appreciated by the audi
ence.
Mrs. !. c. Morton read an ex-
ceedingly chaste and lovely poem
entitled, THE Odd Fellows Boy"
1t was a feature Of the evening
and was londly applauded We
hope that she will premit it to be
published, as it was certainly an
extraordinary productio and
would be highly appreciated by
the order wherever read.
Miss Sophie links solo upon
the either was beyond description,
and was enthusiastically encored.
Those who did not hear this &C
complished musician missed
treat, for it is seldom we ever
listen to such music.
The singing of the Liederkranz
Society was highly appreciated
and added much to the occasion.
The Capital City Orchestra
furnished the music during the
programme and played several
delightful and enchanting pieces,
which were loudly applauded and
were even beyond the standard of
that excellent band. The orchestra
will compare favorably with any
we have ever heard.
After short recitation by Bro.
Thos. b. Ford the audience was
dismissed and all went home de-
lighted with the evenings enter
tainment. 1t was an occasion
that will long be remembered by
the Odd Fellows of this city.
After the adjournment the fol.
lowing resolutions were adopted
by the committee on programme:
ReSoiVed. That we tender our
most sincere thanks to Bros. w.
H. Holt and John l.. Scott for
their appropriate and excellent
addresses on this occasion. Also
to Mrs. J. c. Morton for her
beautiful poem and the reading
thereof, and that she is requested
to have the same published. Also

it will probably be found to differ from the
spokesman OF the advanced Radicals is ne
TO the depositary OF the power TO limit the
suspensory action Of the upper House. Mr..
LABoUoHERE would give the House OF Com
mons the limiting power. to be exercised by
. second affirmation Of lts will after the
return Of a bill saddled with unwelcome
amendments. The Spectator would no doubt
prefer, In the case OF deadlock between
the two Houses, to see the decision Of the
matter In dispute left TO the people ut a
general election. But the decision would
not be clear and peremptory. unless
that election turned exclusively on the
question which had caused the deadlock.
II the general election did so turn. the
Swiss referendum would manifestly have
been imported into the British system Of
government, at the expense Of the repre-
sentative principle. Now. the British Radl-
calls are determined not to brook the intro
duction Of the referendum In any form and
especially odious to them would be the APP
plication OF 1t at the will Of the second
chamber.
We repeat that since two Legislative
Houses. with really coordinate powers, have
been shown by experience to lie unattaina-
Bile except under the federative system, the
utmost that can be conceded In practice to
a second chamber is the power OF defnrring
legislation for definite time. Mr.. LABoU-
CHERE seems to have hit upon a sensible
and workable plan by providing that the
House OF Lords shall send back bill with
amendments once, and only once. With the
power OF the Lords thus limited, they may
be left to reform themselves at their own
CON venience

How Mr.. Labouchere Would Treat the
Lords.

About a fortnight ago the Gladstonians
were taunted by Mr.. BALFoUR with vague
ness in their talk about reforming the
House of Lords. and with inability to
make up their minds whether they want q
stronger or weaker second chamber.
Tho taunt was answered on Tuesday OF this
week by Mr. LABOUCHERE. who laid before
the House OF Commons bill TO the effect
that IL a measure be passed by that body.
and sent to the House OF Lords. and be not
returned within two months. it shall be-
come law as IL the House OF Lords had
acted on It, The bill further provides that
the House of Commons shall have the power
to decide whether amendments made to bills
by the upper chamber shall be- accepted.
This proposal has the merit OF going to
the root Of the matter and defining In ad-
vance what the powers Of the second cham
Der shall be. leaving the question OF its COM
position to be settled hereafter. Shall the
powers OF the upper House be coordinate.
as they are both in theory and practice In
the case OF the Senate OF the United States.
or shall they be only suspensory. as practi-
cally they have come to be In the case OF
the French Senator Mr.. LABoUCHERE sees
that until the Government Of the United
Kingdom has been reconstructed on fedora
tive principles. 1t will be impraeticable to
give a second chamber the moral weight
which attaches TO our Federal Senate. The
utmost stretch OF authority which public
opinion will tolerate in an upper House. so
long as the United Kingdom remains. like
France. a highly centralized State. will be
the permission 10 postpone projected legis-
lation long enough to secure the sober
second thought.
That-this Is the view taken not only by
the Radicals but by many Unionists also. Is
clear from a declaration made In the latest
number Of the London Spectator. That in
fiuential organ OF the Liberal Unionists
says that =" wa desire a second House OF
Legislature that is much weaker than the
House OF Commons. Ia respect OF it's origin.
but intellectually soberer and stronger, a
House which would be well aware that its
strength lay wholly In Its impartiality and
