lrof. (luornsoy JoneB of the history
Umjnrtmont apoko nt convocation
TliurHday on the aubjoct of "The 12ug
liah Elections." He spent the summer
in KnBlnnd, where he hnd opportunity
to study tho sltmitlon from Ita source.
"Tho characteristic feature of tlicBe
elections," ho said, "Is the animosity
and temper displayed. Hcsides the
Tact that Englishmen are naturally In
tonBe, thoro aro some special roiiBons
which aro attributed to account for
tho dlfforonco in English and Amer
ican elections.
Never Know When Election Comes.
"In the first plnco, Jn England the
peoplo never know when an olectlon
is coming. They aro not determined
upon by the constitution, but nre held
at tho Instance of parliament, tho
prime .minister or tho king. Hence
the public is kept in n state of con
btnnt political agitation. Secondly,
there is a greater difference betwoon
the two parties. Tho liberals go to
tho extreme of liberality, while tho
conservatives are ultra conservative.
Thero 1b also a social distinction be
tween the two parties that makes
membership in either one a bar to
association In n social way with mem
bers of the other."
The speaker, BhoweQ.Jiow tho pres
ent' olectlbu means tlfo demise or the
house of lords, under Its u resent ar
' rungoment at least. Tho minority
party Ib atrong and stubborn, and In
self doronse tho lords have hod to con
cede. Among many things of Interest
tfio paBBlng of tho conservative ele
ment of the government InBureB to tho
country tho passage of a homo rulo
bill, 11 new poor law, and a bill cre
ating Insurance for tho laboring man.
The real trpublo with tho house of
lorilH Is that It represents property In
stead of population. Tho lords them
selves boo this now. and have practi
cally givon up tho struggle with tho
united opposition of tho liberals, the
Irish, Scotch and tho Welsh.
A Rest Taken.
Thi) death of tho king produced a
brenthiug spell and time for Prime
MlnlBtcr Asqulth to draw up a bill
which would appease the discontent
ment of the peo'plo. It provides that
tho changing of tho house or lords
shall be postponed for the present,
and that they shall hae no voice in
llnnnclnl measures.
All this opposition bus demoralized
the peers, yet It Is surprising how
many votes they can control. The
conservatives who control this branch
of the government are able to hold to
gether. They can always count upon
a certain number of votes, which give
strength to their forces. These
votes come from tho church, the op
pSnenls oTIioine rule the liquor In
terests and tho plural voters. As a
consequonco tho olectlons are very
close, the probable result being the
giving of the balanco of power to the
Irish.
