all times in the front of Intense po-
Iitical agitation. His leadership, while
aggressive, was always marked with a
courtliness and tact that won him ia
vor from both sides
When the recent crisis arose over the
passage of the veto bin Mr.. Balfour
found himself for the first time at
odds with considerable portion Of the
party he was leading. The supreme
test on the veto bill was Its acceptance
or rejection by the house OF lords, and
II Il were rejected the creation OF
large number OF peers to force 1t
through the upper house was certain.
In this emergency Mr.. Balfour was for
concession without forcing the issue OF
creating new peers. whereas Lord
Halsbury took the lead Of the con-
sentative element known as the die
hards.' determined to resist the veto
measure TO the last. The policy of Mr..
Baifour prevailed, and the veto bin
was accepted by the house Of lords
The result, however. left deep i'm
preston and much resentment In some
quarters. and 1t was felt that. however
wide Mr. Balfour's concession had been
from a political point of view. II had
seriously crippled his leadership
Andrew Bonar Law. who was chos

he was secretary of the local govern

until 1887. when Mr.. Ralfour was thir-
ty-niDe years old. that he really show
ed his capacity. He then became chief
secretary for Ireland, and In the course
OF his administration the Crimes act
WAS put into force. The Irish in par
hament hated him SO intensely that.
Paradoxical asst may seem. they almos,
came to love him, and the verbal duets
between him and the Irish leaders in
the mouse OF commons are to this day
remembered as among the most notable
battles that parliament has ever known.
His manner was calculated TO infuriate
even the calmest of his opponents. He
never lost his temper and always
seemed bored. even when the most
violent invectiyes were hurled at him.
MIR. Balfour became government lead
