The Standard declares that the debate on Mr. motion on Friday night exhibits the most noted characteristics of the two chief members of the present and how distasteful they have become to the House of The maxims of a small by the application of which Mr. Lowe hopes to justify his claim to and the copious subtlety of Mr. Gladstone were alike offensive to the responsible body called on as men of sense to consider the present position of the Irish and they carried Mr. motion against the Government by a majority of 13. The House felt that the question at issue was not one concerning nor any particular but simply one of good administration and fair Mr. Lowe met this motion by declaring that it was all a matter of The civil servants had engaged to work at a certain if they could hardly keep body and soul together on such a salary so much the or They had made the that was all about it. If this answer was good it was good against granting the commission of inquiry last Mr. Gladstone rose quite wrathful with Mr. Otway for pointing out that the question was one affecting the whole public and talked in eloquent terms about the public interest sacrificed to the interests of a It is clearly the publio interest that it should deal fairly with its publio the question ought to have been left to the but with present Administration this was not possible if the public interest was to be and we hope the result of the division will be a warning to Mr. Lowe how strongly the country disapproves of the spirit in which he regards the publio The defeat of the says the on the question of the Irish Civil was really political suicide on a small Mr. Lowe and Mr. so to out their own There was no necessity for them to commit this The majority of the House of Commons certainly had no desire that the Government should either make themselves ridiculous or be to humiliation and The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had only to be and practical to secure acquiescence in a course that have been virtually to that which they tried to force upon the But when Mr. Lowe was pedantic to a and thoroughly and when both he and Mr. Gladstone took to lecturing their listeners upon dry and at all illiberal political they put the House of Commons in a humour to scout them and their Mr. Lowe thinks that the main function of an English Chancellor of the Exchequer is to say No to every proposal for increased But he has said No with so little discernment that now when he says it the country almost instinctively feels inclined to say He had a great opportunity of making his mark upon the civil administration of the But he has frittered away his chance and effected no reforms worth He has principally been engaged in snubbing lecturing the House of and rightly or to all propositions involving He has had the immense advantage of framing prosperity and yet has managed

the other proceedings which are and industry go for but they are not especially in a moribund and a fair estimate of probabilities appears to place the period of prorogation in August rather than in
