The House of Lords Question

Since our British correspondent mailed his article, despatches tell us that the conference held between the two great political parties had proved of little worth. The existence of the House of Lords with its present power, or its existence at all, will probably depend upon a new Parliament, soon to be elected. If about one fourth of the present members of the House of Peers could be made an elective body for life, it would seem to be better than the present anachronism. But England is conservative; she moves slowly, and it is better for the world many times that she does.
