THE BRITISH COMMONS.
High Price OF Consols-Mr. BaIfour's
"Americanism.-

LONDON, February 2.-In the House
OF Commons to-day Mr.. Sydney Gedge,
Conservative member for Walsall. asked
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Chancellor OF
the Exchequer that in view OF the high
price OF consols and the intended heavy

Immediately bring in bill enabling the
expected large surplus in the budget TO
be used for naval purposes, instead OF
being applied to the reduction of the ma
tional debt by the purchase OF consols.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said he was
unable as yet to state the intentions Of
the government In regard TO the DISPOSE
ton OF the surplus.
The House then debated the proposal OF
A. ]. Balfour, First Lord OF the Treasury,
and government leader In the House, 10
alter the procedure so that Fridays, hith-
erto devoted to the discussion OF private
members bills, should be henceforth de-
voted TO the discussion of government es-
Inmates, which discussion must be COM
pleted In twenty Fridays. This proposed
alteration, which involves a time limit
is based on the method suggested some
years ago by Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in
an article in the Nineteenth Century. en-
titled "Shall We Americanize Our lnsti-
tutionsy'
Sir william Vernon Harcourt, Opposi-
ton leader In the House. said he prefer
red the original scheme suggested by Mr..
Chamberlain. but added that he would
agree TO Fridays being devoted to the
estimates. He did not approve OF apply
ing closure after twenty Fridays, as Mr..
Balfour proposed.
Mr.. Balfour announced that the govern
ment was willing 20 try the experiment
for a year.

A DIVORCE.
A detective soon reported acts on which
Mrs Douseman sued for and secured
divorce.
Mcbride then returned to Mitchell. and
commenced systematic attacks upon Law
Ter his family, and the First Nationai
Bank. Farmers who deposited In the
bank, known 10 Mcbride, and thoee VINO
were not known, were hunted up, and
given up tHdt thcS hoH S~~~i 49,
their money out OF the bank, and IN
consequence the banks support among
farmers has steadily decreased for the
past three years. Every weeks issue con-
tanned some allusion 10 the bank ana
its president, based on falsehood, put
appearing in such a manner that no ac-
ton at law could be taken against its
author.
This career OF McBride's was idly look
ed upon by the people until the news
came a week ago that John d. LAWYER
had suddenly died in Sioux City OF
apoplexy. whittier he had gone on busi-
ness. The full force OF McBride's long
continued abuse then came home to the
citizens, and they resolved TO rid the
town of the editor This crystalllzed into
a meeting OF the foremost citizens satur-
day night, and. as a result, committee
called uDon Mcbride and Informed him
that they had come to buy his outfit, with
the further proviso that he would nave
to leave the town.
Mcbride assented to the proposition. ana
stated that he would sell the plant Mon
day morning TO the citizens. At the ap-
pointed time the citizens called on Nc
Bride. but In the mean time he had been
bolstered up by some of his friends, and
he purposely got out OF the reach OF the
committee, and the latter appointed one
OF their number to become McBride's
agent gave him sufficient money TO pay
for the plant, and then proceeded TO de-
stroy the whole outfit.
The committee are now hunting for
Mcbride, to impress upon his mind that
his stay In Mitchell must be brief.
