FRENCH PARLIAMENT
ACC0MPLiSHES LITTLE.
Deputies Take Up Time with Childish
Demands for Government FavoEs

' HERALD AND The ST 70 L6 Jus R MT
Paris. March 2s-(Copyright, 1Soo.)-Two
questions are at the present moment alb
sorbing the attention Of all Frenchmen who
are interested in politics. the congregations
list question and the financial question. and
It Is not astonishing that tho opponents Of
the Republic, IN the Chamber. at least. COM
bined the congregational trouble with the
financial trouble. not only by declaring that
the expulsion Of tho congregations will In
crease the deficit by inducing new expend-
iture. but also by accusing In a general
way the majority, which is prescribing the
congregationists, of wasting the country's
money.
1t is on this double theme that parliament
airy debates continue. Last week. BY re-
fusing to discuss the clauses Of the law
relative to their applications Tor authority.
the Chamber Of Deputies dissolved twenty
four teaching orders. This week, by the
same parliamentary method, 1t dissolved
twenty-eight preaching congregations
As for the financial question, 1t was
brought up by the presentation Of a demand
for supplementary appropriation of S.
QO0, 900 francs. The Chamber and the Senate
particularly were of the opinion that this
was a good deal for a budget which had
been balanced only by means Of a loan. but
the ensuing debate made 1t possible to touch
with the hand as 1t were. the vice OF the
eystem-
While the Deputies, in the bulk decry the
exaggeration OF expenditure. each Deputy
separately proposes some new outlay which
no thinks would be useful to his electora
For instance, Deputy from Normandy
called for an appropriation for the breeding
Of horses in the name OF the national de-
tense, tho real reason being that his cleo
tors breed horses which they want to sell
to the army. And this Deputy protested
that the wearing of gloves by private SOL
diers ought not to be suppressed. because
there are In his constituency various fac
tories which turn out gloves for the army.
1t is childish and. at the same time. dam
gerous.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HOME RULE.
The intentions of the Government are eN-
cellent, and Mr.. Wyndham is doubtless sin
cere in the belief that he has found a sub
stitute for home rule. There are some peo-

Mr.. Redmond intimated he would abide

It Is not easy to understand the motives
which prompted Lord Rosebery to come for

the new Council of National Defense. The

50 much to reduce. has gone beck to what
It was forty years ago
All this 10 both true and important but 1t
had not much to do with tho motion, and
Lord Rosebery's renewed suggestion that
Lord Kitchener should be Secretary OF
State for War had even less.
Why Lord Rosebery clings to this eccen-
trio idea Is an insoluble enigma. When Lord
Rosebery grows tired Of tho word eff
cheney. he might preach some excellent
timely sermons on the word responsibility.
The dread Of responsibility Is the curse

London, March 2S.-CCopyright, 1eO$l-The
land bill which the Chief Secretary for
ireland introduced on "Wednesday ,s so ex-
tremely technical and complicated that both
the leader of the Opposition and leader Of
the Irish party hesitated to pronounce n
definite opinion upon 1t.
Mr.. wyndham. though a graceful and at
tractive speaker. has not the gtft of fnan-
cial exposition possessed by Sir William
Harcourt or Sir Michael Hicks Beach. but
one thing in his speech was perfectly clear
that the British taxpayer may. under the
BILL become liable TO the extent OF hun
dred and fifty millions sterling. That is the
precise sum involved in Mr.. Gladstone 8
land bill of 1886, which had more to DO with
the defeat of his Government at the gen.
eral election of that year than tho Home
Rule bill itself
Colonel Saunderson. who welcomed the
measure from the Irish-landlord point OF
view, said. with some shrewdness:

COSTLY TO ENGLAND.
Mr.. wyndham. of course, did his best to
spread over fifteen years. There Is the Sc
curity Of the land. It is the gratifying
truth that under the previous purchase acts
which. however, are microscopic COM
pared with this one-there have been
scarcely any bad debts. Ireland is entitled
to an annual payment of nearly two hum
bred thousand year, as the equivalent for
the grant under the purely English Edu-
cation Act of 1902
The Chief Secretary hopes to save a
quarter of a million annually by reducing
the Irish estimates. though he falls to ex-
plain why that reduction could not be made
in any event; but still the broad fact re-
mains that for the purpose OF buying out
the Irish landlords. not, as Mr.. Healy says.
