WHY THES E UPRISINGS?
There are undoubtedly very threatening signs in the House at the present moment of a readiness to assail the powers that be. Some people say it is because Mr Chamberlain is away, and that Mr Balfour is slacker than usual. Others nut it down to Mr Brodrick, who, for a reason I don't quite understand, seems to b2 specially unpopular with his own side ; and I have heard also, with his subordinates in the War OSice. The rea.l explanation may be the simpler one that the Government has been a very long time in office ; that its own members would be only too glad if they got a little vacation on the Opposition Benches, that there is too big a majority, and that there are so many ambitious and capable men who have been disappointed, and who are innerly raging against the ascendency of two families — the family of the Cecils and the family of the Chamberlains.
