With over 500 of the G70 seats accounted for at the polls the respective numbers of each party is almost precisely what it was on the same ground before. This goes to show that the popular feel- ing against the Lords has not abat- ed during the stirring period since the electorate was appealed to ten months ago. 'l`lie fact is that the House of Lords has developed into an extremely DM' tisan body. Before the Liberal IIBFW carrie into power less than hve years ago there had been a lfins Um” With the Unionists in power, That Gov- ernment had no ditliculty in passinf., any ol its ineasiires throui.,h the Up per I-louse.

The vote now being taken is not, for obvious reasons, a- lair test of public opinion Hundreds upon hun- dreds ot Lords and landlords holding estates, country seats or shooting boxes in ten to twenty or more dif- ferent constituencies each, are each rushing from poll to poll and re- cording as many votes. Thus one ar- istocratic landlord has perhaps twen- ty times the voting power of the or- dinary citizen, besides exercising an almost absolute control over the votes of his tenantry. That is why the Liberal hill providing that one man should have but one yote was rclected by the Lords. That sort of thing must now come to an end. The bill against plural voting will some day before long become law,- aiid then the elections will telladii- ferent story The Lords are beaten, despite their lar ge professions of wil- lingness to reform their own House. It vias a sort of deathhed repent- alice on their part not heard of or eien hinted at in the days when ri Conservative niaiority ruled in both Houses And what will happen nmv when the Governiuent is sustained? i_I’robahly another .conference of the leaders, with a willingness on the part of the Unionists to make larger concessions than they offered at the conference which preceded the elec- tions. Failing to reach an agreement in conference we may expect the Gov- ernrncnt to ask for the creation of enough Liberal Peers to assure the passage of its measures. It is difli- cult to see how the King could refuse to do this. Brit it will hardly bc necessary for him to refuse or to act upon this advice. Driven to the last ditch, the Lords may be expect- ed to abate their pretensions and surrender to the will of the majori- ty. But there will be days and weeks of tense struggle before .the end is reached. There can, however, be brit one ultimate end to the irrepressible conilict now going on. The will of the people niust prevail. ` MHA” $50.00 Reward ii satisfactioii if you ent °=uiiiisii0N’s” Home-Made Bread r_our name on each loaf) i Delicious---Creaniy---Sweet and iiiade from that "Queen 1"lours."

The average live weight is 8; pounds and the freight is 10 ‘cents each. The prices paid to farmers in 1908 were from ($0 to 65 cents per goose; in 1909, 80 to 85 cents; and' this season 10 pci' cent more than last year. Shipments of dressed geese, which will amount this your to about 35,000, have coinnienccri. Most of these go to thc other Mari- Linie Provinces and to .Newiouiid- land, the reinaindrfr to Boston and New York.
