A rafting reply to the outcry against the Loros

II was at Leeds that the party wirepuliers
launched the agitation for depriving the Lords OF
their power Of veto. Mr.. Chamberlain courage

ing the Lords for refusing Home Rule ana the

elective element added to the composition Of the

II Is not a little singular that one OF the best
arguments in favor OF second chamber comes

MULTIPLICATION OF groups and parties makes
