This article briefly discusses various political issues and proceedings in Great Britain. There generally comes a period of the Parliamentary session at which the zeal of legislators begins to fail, and preparations are made for abandoning some of the work which they had undertaken in pure gaiety of heart. A crisis of this kind has come on rather prematurely. Men's hearts are failing within them at the thought of the labors which will be necessary to pass the Irish Land Bill, the Education Bill, the University Tests Bill, and the various other bills which have been promised. Meanwhile, the measure for enforcing peace in Ireland passed almost unanimously. Whereas, the Roman Catholic bishops have pronounced against the Land Bill regarding this peace matter.
