Spencer Leigh Hughes, M.P.
To what extent the system of selling honours, denounced with edifying fervour by Lorda Selborne and Salisbury, prevails I osanot Hay. Some yours ago I stopped s Chief Whip in the Lobby (he is no longer ■ Whip) and, fingling a few shillings. I had in my pocket, I said to him, "I want a title-how much will it be ?” and then, before he could answer, I added, "You have never be fore bad, it put quite so bluntly as that, have you?" The experienced men of affairs replied.
Ob, yes I have often." So I suppose something of the wort goes on, I do not defend it in the least, but while such a system may obviously result in scandals, the risks are not so great as thos involved in the hereditary system. Even the most courageous and enterprising party manager, or Whip, would hesitate before he tried to obtain a peerage for a recognised mental imbecile, in return for payment, however large. Tat not very long ago an hereditary peer, who had been declared by some Judge or law. court to be incapable of managing his own affairs, continued to it and vote in the House of Lorda. It I remember aright, he express- ed by his vote his considered jodgment on an Education Bill! And though the peers as a class are quite decorons there is no guarantee against a rogue becom ing by inheritance a member of the House of Lords, unless he maken the tactical error of becom ing a felon,

The new comer may be a saint or a soo¤n" arel, he may be a genius or an imbecile, he may be a hero or a eneak the one certainty is that he is a peer by right of birth, Now the ayatem of purchasing. poorages (assuming it to exist) does not leave the door quite so wide open as all that,
Neither Lord Selborne nar Lord 8 liebary, esch of whom is so properly anxious to maintain the quality of the pencage, has any. thing to say about these obvious dangers. I am not surprised, as eson is the outcome of the here- ditary system. Of course, I cheerfully admit that both Lord Selborne and Lord Salisbury are highly respectable and eminently well-meaning members of the House of Lords, and sa sneh they should be encouraged. My only point is that they would never have reached thus saeembly mere- ly on their own mertw. I observa ́ they advocate that when a new peer is created a definite publie statement should be mindsexplain- ing why the honour kas bean son- ferred and it is not sband euggestion. But should there be no way of testing the fitnem för the post of hereditary legislator when a man succeeda to's peeraga by right of birth?
