February 17th in the House of Commons.
Under the above title the following lines appear in the ‘ Liverpool Post,’ and as they are signed “ A Gladstonian M.P.” there can he little doubt that |t is opr old friend Sir Wilfred Lawson who Has been delivering his poetic soul: — How strangely are parties at present allied! , No skill the anomalies can smother, When the Liberal Unionists sit on one side
' And steadily vote on the other. When four or five parties are scattered about, In confusion that seems quite unending; And when Smith, who’s the leader cf this
rabble rout, . Is by Parnell called *f stern and unbending. 1’ No, the House has been never before in such plight, ' No matter what records you search, | When Richard declares he is ready to fight, And Bright gives a vote fur the Church.
