Long Speeches.

From the London Chronicle.
The recent record speech of ten hours
BY a labor member. Mr.. Webster. in the
commonwealth parliament. was not really
such remarkable performance as the
cable message led US to suppose. For the
detailed accounts show that it was largely
spun out with quotations from John Rus
kim John Stuart Mill, and various other
standard authors. 1t was by means Of
extensive quotations that Mr.. Parneli and
Mr. Bigger were enabled TO .stonewalr'
business at Westminster thirty years ago,
but that is no longer possible, as the
speaker has been invested with almost
autocratic powers for the suppression OF
irrelevancy. Both in Canada and Aus
tralia members can still quote at large.
