That contest between the two British Houses of Parliament which has now become an annual event, expected as regularly as harvest in August and fogs in November, is keeping before men's eyes in England the question of what is to be done with the House of Lords. While the House of Lords remains what it is, they must necessarily recur whenever the Liberal party has a majority in the House of Commons. How, then, is the House of Lords to be reformed? Some of the Peers themselves, particularly the younger Tory Peers, who of course are more hot-headed, chafe so much under their present condition of nominal equality of powers, theoretical superiority in rank, and practical obligation to submit to the will of the Commons, that it is by no means impossible that they may seek to precipitate a solution of the problem.

This article focuses on Spencer Walpole's astounding feat of parliamentary statesmanship on Robert Peel in Great Britain. In 1832 the Tories were defeated all along the line, and the Toryism of George the Third and Lord Eldon, Lord Chancellor in the ministry of Lord Liverpool, was destroyed past hopes of revival. Peel created the Conservative party and evoked the conservatism of the nation. He checked what threatened to be a revolution and within three years broke the strength of the Whigs, and in less than ten years returned to office at the head of the ablest and strongest body of Conservatives which has held power during the century.

The great commercial reforms in England, which were timidly commenced by William Huskisson half a century ago, were conclusively settled in their principle by Robert Peel. It is connected with the effort now being very systematically made to win back the counties to the Liberal side. They were its strength before the Reform Bill of 1882, which, by the Chandos clause, handed them over to the Tories. For a long time the farmers will remain the political retainers of their landlords, believing in their patronage and not believing in the protection of the ballot. A more serious hindrance to the reform of the land-system will be the opposition of the great family solicitors, who hold the title-deeds of country gentlemen and are their confidential advisers and social confessors, and whose business would be cut down to nothing if the sale of land was made easy and simple negotiation gave a title.

This article focuses on the Great Britain's forthcoming general election. The betting on the election has opened with odds of six to four in favor of a Tory majority. That is probably a realistic appraisal, for the Labor government's recent "form" has not been that of a winner. It has, of course, been dogged by bad luck. The promised harvest from the seeds of economic expansion and social reform sown between 1945 and 1950 has partially withered in the fierce heat of the post-Korean international crisis. But Labor has shown no great ability or inspiration in the face of difficulties, and it looks like a government of mentally and physically weary men which an equally weary electorate may seek to replace, hoping that a change in political direction will bring better times.

The Tory ministry of 1885 has been the briefest ministry of the last half century, having lasted just seven months. When, on William Ewart Gladstone's resignation last June, after an unexpected defeat, office was offered to Lord Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil Salisbury, there was much difference of opinion in Tory circles as to whether it would or would not be better to remain in opposition. Although the Tories have been beaten at the general election, their defeat is nowise due to their having taken office. On the whole, Lord Salisbury stands now before the country with a character for administrative judgment, as well as vigor, which he never enjoyed before.

This article focuses on the recent Irish elections and the struggle in Ulster of the province. The elections in Ireland have been not only the most dramatically interesting of all the recent contests, but the most momentous in their ultimate political results. When the last Parliament ended, Ireland was represented in the Imperial Parliament by about forty-seven Parnellites; nearly thirty Gladstonians, twenty of whom were moderate Home Rulers and the rest regular Liberals from Ulster and twenty-five Tories. Now there are eighty-five Parnellites, eighteen Tories, and not a single Liberal. Of the seats in the three Roman Catholic provinces, twenty went to them unopposed. In the remainder, candidates, sometimes Tory, sometimes Liberal, were put forward by a recently-formed association of persons zealous for the British connection, called the Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union.

The appointments consequent on the change of Great Britain's Government have now been completed, and the Tory Ministry may be examined as a whole. Attempts have been made to oppose the reelection of several of its members by their respective constituencies, but these attempts have failed in very case hitherto, partly because the constituencies were previously Tory in their complexion, partly because there is a general and not unnatural feeling that it is unfair to prevent a man from resuming his seat in Great Britain's Parliament just when his ambition has been gratified by the receipt of an appointment. Besides, electors have a sort of pride in being represented by a person honored by the Crown with an office, and fancy that if they want anything done for their locality they have a better chance of getting it put through.
