WOLMER flashed through the haze a word that has long wanted saying in the House. Why, he asked, place sentries surrounding St. James's Palace, the War Office, and the Horse Guards? Why, if presence of armed men at these particular gateways is essential to proper conduct of affairs of Department--why should Charity Commissioners and Education Office be left unguarded? WOLMER should keep pegging away at this question till he gets common-sense answer. _Business done_.--Army Estimates moved. _Friday_.--Gallant little Wales took the floor to-night. Wants the Church Disestablished; PRITCHARD MORGAN, in speech of prodigious length, asked House to sanction the proposal. The Government, determined to oppose Motion, cast about for Member of their body who could best lead opposition. Hadn't a Welshman on the Treasury Bench. "There's RAIKES, you know," AKERS-DOUGLAS said, discussing the matter with OLD MORALITY. "He's not exactly a Welshman, but, when he's at home, he lives in Denbighshire, which is as near being Wales as you can get. Besides, his postal address is Llwynegrin." "Ah!" said OLD MORALITY, "that looks well. He's not the rose, but he lives in convenient contiguity to the flower." So RAIKES was put up, and a nice, peaceful, soothing, insinuating, conciliatory speech he made. In fact, as the Member for SARK says, "He got gallant little Wales down on its back, tied its horns and heels together, partially flayed it, and then rubbed in cunningly contrived combination of Cayenne pepper and vinegar." _Business done_.--Welsh Disestablishment Motion negatived by 235 Votes to 203. * * * * * CELT AGAIN. GRANT-ALLEN,--his manner moves cynics to mirth!-- Makes out that the Celt is the Salt of the Earth. That accounts, it may be, for his dominant fault; A "salt of the earth" _has_ a taste for assault! * * * * * OUT OF SCHOOL!
