judicious, because it would mean that not only Ireland but Scotland and Wales, which usually vote Liberal, are to be ignored by

the dominant partner" But this is digression. We are most concerned with the proceedings subsequent to the passage of the Budget. The Nationalists will allow the Ministerialists little rest until a Home Rule Hill is introduced: Should it

receive the approval of the Commons, which in a matter of conjecture, it will go to the

Tords with little to recommend it. The Upper House will haveas little hesitation in rojecting the prospective measure as it did Mr. GLADSTONE Bill in the Nineties, and then there can be no option for the Govern ment but to make a second appeal to the country. However well sorred they may have been with the slogan "Down with the Lorde," they will find a different experience when their ory is a Home Bula for Ireland. There can be little doubt that then the Unionists will come back to power with a mandate in favour of certain flacal changes A.S.

manual labour the very small daily wage that estisles a Filipino renders Japanese competition impossible, but fertile land is so cheap that an excellent opportunity offers for agriculturists, who have command of a Hitle capital and who are content to tako their wives and famílies with them to the Inlands.
