— Lord Rosebery addresses a crowded public meeting at Wrexham on the reform of the House of Lords. His Lordship said he did not see how the House could be abolished by any constitutional means, and he was cer- 1492 tainly not in favour of boycotting it or starving it into insignificance. As a preliminary, how- ever, a committee of inquiry was indispensable. Such reform as was projected should be real and radical, and should be carried out by an independent authority. He was in favour of the pri...nciple of delegation with respect to some of the business of the Chamber, and whilst admitting representatives from the Colonies he would exclude Peers who had discredited their order, and would give Peers the option of be- coming members of the House. At present the House of Lords was a caucus which con- sidered all measures from a purely Conservative point of view, and gave Liberal measures no chance at all. He was ready for either abolition or reform, because he knew that our institutions were made for the people, and not the people for the institutions ; but he hoped that reform would be tried before abolition, and that the subject would be dealt with early in the new Parliament.
