Mr. Labouchere made a speech to his Northampton con- stituents
on Wednesday, which dealt partly with his own two Bills, one of which provides that no great department shall be put under any head who is not in the House of Commons, while the other provides that the House of Lords shall cease to exist on January let, 1895,--he had better have said on the Greek Kalends. Mr. Labouchere was very indignant at the waste of time on the Home-rule Bill, and accused Mr. Glad- stone himself of talking too much. "He could not realise the iniquity of their opponents, and he cast his pearls before swine." With regard to the Ninth Clause of the Home-rule Bill, he appeared to think it had better be omitted altogether, and that the representation of Ireland in the Imperial Parlia- ment should be left for future consideration.
