which the speaker by exercise of his pre-

1t is obviously the hope of the unionists
to defeat the ministry on some phase
Of the home rule bill or to prolong the
session by a flibuster SO that the gov

ability to make progress, in either event
forcing q general election at which the
Irish question will be the supreme issue.
At the last general election this question
was not clearly or squarely before the
people. for the paramount issue presented
was that Of the curtailment of the veto
power of the house of lords. incidentally,
Of course, the home rule proposal was in
volved inasmuch as one of the chief OBJ
jects of the limitation of the power of
the second chamber was to permit the
passage of the home rule bill. which the
lords would under old conditions be GER
that the veto bill'' has become a law
and the obstructive power Of the house of
lords has been curtailed. there is no more
important question before the British
public than that of semi-autbnomy for
Ireland, and upon this issue the unlonists
are anxious to go before the country at
the earliest opportunity. 1t is impossible
to forecast the result of general cleo

Mondays session Of the house of COM
mons will doubtless reveal the relative
strength of the two sides more clearly
than it appears at present On q. snap
vote the other day the ministry was de-
feated with reference to the financial
amendment, but at Wednesdays session
a motion to adjourn was defeated In the
governments interest by a large majority.
1t would seem that In the final test Of
strength the ministry will be able to hold
its own against the opposition. The
violence of the un!onist attack may be
reactive to the end of solidifying the
governmental ranks. STILL. the ministry
must secure the reconsideration of the
vote whereby the financial amendment
was adopted against its wishes in order
to restore the bill to satisfactory shape.
Whether this. can be done under the rules
OF parliament Is another question, al
though the government may have a. con-
Siderable majority.

British Excitabiiity.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the DdltIu1OIe Cuu.
Americans have a right to smile little
over the excitability Of their English
cousins when they read the accounts Of
the near-r.ot in the house of commons.
English visitors of fifty years ago, in
recountins at home their experiences in
the states,'' were accustomed to dwell
with pleasurabie emphasis upon our ma
t.onal lack of dignity and our nervous
style of public and private LIE. Even
the English tourist of today finds an 40
sence of the calm atmosphere which he
associates with his native land, and does
not hes. tate to advise us, In big-brOth-
erly way. to learn to exercise greater
self-control. Yet. in point Of fact, of the
two countries the daughter appears to
have herself far better in hand tAan the
mother. We scorn TO get half as excited
over political battles as do the reserved
Britishers, and We would be ashamed to
fights as they are over there at their
campaign meetings.

Patronage and Legislation.

out of the mouths OF babes" An In
dianian who has just entered politics and
secured election to the House from the
first district in that state is quoted as
saying on the subject of an extra session
Of the new Congress: IF called before
September the congressman will be so
busy with the patronage question they
will not have much time to think about
the tariff
4 frank man. and an honest expression
OF sentiment. And there are many such.
only they lack nerve. How many, cannot
be stated. But in every state among
those charged with legislative RESPONSE
b:iity are men much more anxious now
about federal patronage than about laws.
As they appraise matters, legtsa ton can
wait. A pie should be cut and served
while hot
Still. this Hoosier legislative infant fails
70 consider that Mr.. Wilson will have
much to say about the distribution of the
pastry. and that he Is likely to place the
cuts where they will do te most good for
the policies he represents All Presidents
have done so, and. though not an expert
enced politician. Mr.. Wilson is we'll read
man and knows the precedents- And that
he will follow that precedent is dead
certainty.
Hence, with a program on hand which
- not going to be easy Of execution, Mr..
fWilson Will have special regard to the
distribution of his favors whether 1t be-
gins in April or September. He will waste
no slice of pie on an unrespopsive person,
we may all be sure. nor deny one to a
person able and willing to push the Will
son policies along. Why should he? Why,
he rrio
with their aid will be able to do so much,
should he fail TO MAKE md hold ihem ny
all the legitimate and well approved
means In his power?
What will it profit democratic members
OF Congress, therefore, TO get busy about
= patronage before Mr. Wilson is ready, or.
from Mr.. Wilsons power in the premises? ?

Parcels Post Rates.

Judging from the map which was print
ed yesterday In The Star. indicating the
method whereby the parcels post rates
will be computed, this new service is to
be given to the public on the basis of the
lowest possible cost and with reference
to the value TO the user. 1t Is a marked
departure from the principle governing
postal rates on all other classes of matter
which. within the classes. are uniform
not merely throughout the United States,
but throughout the federal system. Thus.
it is possible to send letter from Wash
ington to Manila for the same rate Of
postage as is charged for a letter sent
through the mails from one part Of this
city to another Owing to the low rate at
which the mails are carried, however,
