BATTLE IMPENDING
IN PARLIAMENT
Coming Session Promises to Be
Momentous One
CONFLICT rs INEVITABLE
There Is an END of Truce Between
Hereditary Privilege and Democracy
of United Kingdom-So Say
the Extermists
CONFLICT is INEVITABLE


LONDON June Especial. )-When par
Lament reconvenes Wednesday for what
may be the most momentous session for
more than generation, there will be a
desperate contest between the radicals
and more conservative elements in both
parties for control In the matter of fore
ing an issue on the house of lords veto
question. There is a disposition on the
part Of strong elements in both the lib
eral and unionist parties to confine the
work of the session to routine matters,
and let the veto question go over for a
time at least. The radical wing of the lib
eral party and the laborites. however,
want the fight brought on now and
carried to the finish. Says one of the
foremost radical organs:
Between peers and people is a conflict
too vital, too inevitable, too irrepressible
to be hushed longer than for a ceremonial
pause even at the death of a monarch.
That pause has been had.
There is an end of The Truce of God
between hereditary privilege and the de-
mocracy of the United Kingdom, and it
Is now the duty of the progressive party
to push the fight for the people to the
only conclusion the people will adopt
To this war cry tory extremists and
Chamberlainites reply in effect:
Come on and show u.s."
They urge Mr.. Balfour not to make
any arrangements with the government
that would delay the elections beyond
August. and they scout the idea of COM
promise, such as was suggested a fort
piUbf no fn an bo To
his bearings
George " according to the popular tory
theory is not in need of further time for
investigation or reflection as to the burn
ing question, and this view is borne out
by the facts that as Prince of Wales he
sat through half dozen debates in the
house of lords and two in the commons
when the subject was proposed to alter
the constitution.
John Redmond continues to hold a post
OF unparalleled Importance. and his in
trepidity and courage compel the admira-
ton of British foes at least. 1t rests with
him to say whether the fight to finish
for which extremists clamor Is to occur
In the future or to be postponed to 1911.
He is called upon to make a decision
of the first consequence to Ireland and
to the British-Irish democracy. Cautious
tacticians in the radical party believe it
would be mistake to bring on general
election before l:ext year, arguing that the
tories would get the benefit of the loyal
sentiments running very high now in
England.
From such quarters Redmond receives
broad hint that his consent to a post
ponement of the veto issue would lay the
liberal party under additional obligations
to him and the Irish regulars
Redmond's programme will be the UNI
known factor. There is, of course, no
question of compromise of Ireland's
claims, but the Irish chief may reach a.
Conclusion that more is to be gained than
lost by slowing up for a while.

Rooster Lives Month Without
Food.

S. G. Mitchell rescued rooster
from the coal cellar at the Exchange
National bank last Saturday which
had been imprisoned without food
for just four weeks ana it was still
alive. although pretty weak from it's
long fast. Four weeks previous the
rooster got away from Jap Statzell's
poultry house and the boys chased
him up on Main street, where he
crawled in a hole and hid under the
coal which was being put in the
bank cellar, and they could not find
him. The coal haulers continued
to dump in coal and the rooster was
buried deep in the coal. Last Sat-
urday Mr.. Mitchell heard him under
the coal and went to work and dug
him out. When released from his
long Imprisonment the rooster was
SO weak he could hardly stand up,
and had evidently forgotten how to
eat, but after being placed in with
other chickens at the poultry house,
he finally commenced to eat and is
now regaining his strength and flesh,
for he was but mere shadow when
released.
