"THE PROPOSED COMMONS PRESERVATION BILL."--Seeing this heading
to an article, an eminently well-informed Conservative politician,
whose zeal was in excess of his knowledge, exclaimed, "Ah! I thought it
would come to this! The Ultra-Radicals are not going straight for the
abolition of the Upper House, but have decided on undermining it, by
doing away with the Lower One to begin with. Fancy its being necessary
for the Commons to bring in a Bill for their own self-preservation!!"
