PUNCH, OP THE LONDON CHAPIVAPI.
[August 16, 1873,
PUNCH’S ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.
AA
Sub Gr. Balfoue, thiity years ago, Had. applied himself to opium
and advocated Economy. We also advocate it, except when there
isx '2nd, Saturday.—Mr. Punch briefly mentioned what passed on
this day, and perhaps there is no reason (hut his own sweet will)
for reverting to it. Yet as you, Madam, do now receive the last
Essence with which, for certain months to come, he hopes to oblige
you, he is minded to discourse unto you at some length. Therefore
let his words flow from his lips like honey, as was the case with
.Nestor, who must have regretted that serviettes were not in .use at
the siege of Troy. Which reminds him to express his satisfaction
that the Bev. Doctor Bee-Master has been fortunate with his bees,
and that the Queen has condescended to accept a quantity of his
honey. Would she send half a pint to Me. Ayeton, and let Princess
Beateice kindly write on the label, In hoc vinces ?
On this Saturday, the ante-penultimate day of the Session, there
was final debate on the Indian Budget. Me. Fawcett had proposed
to condemn the present constitution of the Government of India.
Me. Denison opposed him, and considered the Hon. Member’s speech
to be mischievous. Let us, however, throw open the Service to
Selected Natives. Certainly. We shall also be happy to throw
open our mouth to them any time after the 31st instant, unless they
are going to be three-pence a-piece.
This was a portentous beginning, but he made an excellent speech,
is question of spending other people’s money, and then our heart
expands, and we realise the famous idea of philanthropy. A sees B in distress, and is particularly desirous that C should help him.
Sir D. Weddeebuen was for conceding, in a modified form, representation to India. This is not a new notion, of course, Madam,
and, moreover, it will have to be considered, some day. The time may come when you will see dusky voters walking down “India’s
coral Strand ” (that, street must be even prettier than our own Strand, W.C.) to ballot for a K.S.I.
