Should a clergyman have the right

It is a sign of the revolutionary times in which we live, says the Parliamentary correspondent of the rainy Post, that all these questions were discussed in Parliament yesterday, both Lords - nach Commons, taking their share The main spring of the discussion in the Commons was, of course, the disappearance of Vis count Astor from that House-though his name was not mentioned (November 26th); but everyone who listened to Mr. JH. Themas speaking in support of a Bill to empower the King to accept the surrender of any Peerage, knew what be was really after. Viscount Wolmer, son of a noble Earl, who once protested against being moved from the Commers to the Lords, sat and listened eagerly on one side; Major the Hon. E. F. L. Wood, son of Viscount Halifax, sat on the other, and between them was a House surprised against itself at the sight of the railway leader interesting himself in a Peerage question. One might as soon have expect ed him to bestow blessings on a railway director, alt

MJETE'S INVIDIOUS PAR.

For the moment the Constitution of the House of Lords is safe. MrJThomas wa not bent on revolution in that direction; nor did he want to give a Pecr the right to sit in the Lower Hous? What ha demanded was the right of any member. to surrender his Peerage and the right to sit in the Upper House If the Peer remained below he would give up all the privileges to which he would be entitled, if he went above (in the political sense, of course, Mr Thomas meant). He quot ed the famous test case of the Earl of Norol, by which twaa laid down that a Peer had no right of surrender, and praised the attemps of Lord Selborne, Lord Curzon, and Lord Midleton to break their birth's invidious bar" and remain as ornamenta of the House of Commons: Every man, he said, should No I have the clear right to

shy:

best by believe I can serve my country remaining in the Commons, and by, accepting that position he must abandon the privileges of the Upper House, hea man must not join the Peors against his conscience.

TOEN BETWEEN TWO IMOTIONNEL The Bill was introduced under the Ten Minutes Rule, which allows of one speaker only our each side. Major Wood, who took up the opposition, was torn between two emotions. His intereste, bis affections even, were centred in the House of Coin- mons, but, like Captain Reece, of the Mantelpiece he worshipped at the shrine of duty. He spoke up bravely for the Chamber which in the course of Nature he will join, said that service there was no loss valuable than service in the House of Commons, and as long as the House of Lord remained what it was he would regret any change which made it difficult for that Chamber to draw recruits from those who had served their apprentices!

in the Lower House. One cannot be rure that the idea of being apprentices immature legislators learning their diff cult trade-appealed to the members pre sent, but on a division they made short work of Mr. Thomas's proposal and re fused permission for his Bill to be intro duced by 160 votes to 56.

MAAT, CLERGYMEN IN THE COMMUMB

While the Commons were consideria whether the lucky ones among them should or should not go to the Lords, the Lords were discussing whether clergymen shouki sit in the House of Commons. These matters ought to be debated on different days, if the confusion. The 1 is to be kept clear of Lower House has decided, under the Municipal Corporation (Quali- fication of Clergymen) Bill that a clergy man may sit in that Chamber; the Lorda discussing that measure, now say that he Ford shall not, if they have their way Parmoor, friend as he is of the clergy would confine them to their own parishes political work and religions work are incompatible.

In the end the motion of Lord Parmour to exclude the clergy from the Lower House was carried by 31 votes to 29.

PEELZSSES IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The third question, giv
