"So like BARTLEY to go to root of matter," said GEORGE RUSSELL, who
surveyed scene from sanctuary of Speaker's chair. "Others might
accuse JOSEPH of being responsible for disturbance by likening his
old colleague and chief to iniquitous King HEROD at the epoch when
the worms were waiting to make an end of him. VICARY GIBBS and good
Conservatives generally are sure it was TAY PAY'S retort of 'JUDAS!
JUDAS!' that dropped the fat into the fire. Only BARTLEY has cool
judgment and presence of mind to point the moral of the moving scene.
A striking figure in the inextricable _melee._ When his statue is
added to that of great Parliamentarians in St. Stephen's Hall, the
sculptor should seize this attitude."
_Business done._--Home-Rule Bill through Committee; but first a real
taste of Donnybrook.

_Friday Night._--House a little languid after excitement of last
night. Attendance small; subject at morning sitting, Scotch Education;
at night, Agriculture. Dr. HUNTER thinks it would be nice to have
Committee of Inquiry into origin and progress of last night's row.
Nobody else takes that view; general impression is, we'd better forget
it as soon as possible.
_Business done._--TREVELYAN explains Scotch Education Vote.

Transcriber's Note:
Page 49: 'gateau' corrected to gateau'.
The paper was much applauded, and GATTO _prends le gateau_.
Page 51: "it's" corrected to "its". (... so that its impulse Be
humorous not malevolent;)
Page 57: 'responsility' corrected to 'responsibility' (Would you ever
act upon your own responsibility?)
