No. 260 FIFTEENTH YEAR SKAGWAY ALASKA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 81, 1913 PRICK 10 CKNTH ,
London, Jan SI ? Yesterday room
Ing the Irish home rule bill which
passed the House of Commons last
week. * a* rejects by the House of
Lords
The House of Lords denounced
the measure sent up? or more
properly down ? from the House of
Commons, and then rejected It by a
hesvv majority. It will forthwith J
go hack to the people's representa
tives and there it will once more be
made the subject of prolonged and
bitter wrangling Again it will
pass in all probability, and once
more it will be sent bach by the
House of Lords.
With tho authority of that body
curtailed by recent constitutional
change* in the I'nited Kingdom, one
more farorable rote in the House
of Coamons would mako the bill a
law. taking for granted the asao.tt
of the sovereign To prevent this
the opponents of home rule are like
ly to (to to great lengths They will
strtvs desperately to force a general
elonkm on the plea that the people
should have the final vole* Id the
fate of so momentous an an of
legislation.
It is by no means certain that
they will (all to bring about this
lest of public opinion, because then*
are many members of the majority
In the House of Commons who are
not certain of the support of their
constituents in respect to home rule,
and they would be glad to submit
the whole matter to the electors of
the kingdom. Such a virtual refer
endum would bring on a battle at
the polls which would certainly be
of unprecedented violence The is
sue would be drawn sharply and
clearly on borne rule, and national
feeling would be appealed to, In
every corner of the kingdom In a
way which could not fall to engen
der much bad blood
Home rule for Ireland is coming
but It will not be a fact until It has
made more history, of a most vital
kind, for the Rritish nation, and af
forded extraordinary spectacles for
the world.
