lords do with the resolutions sent up 10
them by the commons, In which their
veto is definitely limited? It is supposed
that the Kings death and the new sue
cession will cause a veil to fall on that
debate; but It must be remembered that
the resolutions are included In a bill
which has been printed and scrutinized
very sharply in the newspapers as well
as by the members of parliament 1t
must also be remembered that there is
no hope of progressive legislation until
the principle of that bill has been recog-
nized. All sorts of plans are in the air
for the reform of the house of lords.
These must wait, and will be indefinitely
entombed with the dear dead King But
the veto cannot become a dead issue,
with a tory house of lords and a radical
house of commons watching each other
across its body. however temporarily
quiet and inert. At the first blast of the
trumpets it will spring again to life.
There Is n 0 escape therefore. The new
King will greatly belle his looks If he

Our own Senate is poor attempt to pre-
serve the benefits of a house of lords,
incidentally preserving at the same time
the federal equality of the states. One
wonders what the benefits of a second
chamber really are, while one hesitates
to believe that things would be quite as
safe without, this alleged drag upon too
precipitate legislation. But while Eng
lishmen are turning over all sorts of
possible solutions to the legislative puz-
zle, the liberal party have made up their
mind that unlimited vetol shall never be
recognized as a part of the equipment
of any second chamber. Bitter as this
bolus is, I see no reason to doubt that
the house of lords must cen do with

have voted for the budget whisky taxes

these lamentations, have passed that same
budget with very wry faces! The facts
are eloquent. The premier's firmness has
brought about great revival of LIBERAL

Were the Irish insincere? Was 1t
game of give and take? Certainly 1t is
evident that the interests of those Irish
patriots involve a limitation of the veto

Mr.. William OBrien has given himself
