BANNERMAN ON THE SITUATION.
(Received — This day, 8.50 a.m.) London, March 20. Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman, speaking at Leeds, ridiculed the piteous spectacle of the Hon. A. J. Balfour tearfully apologising to the publicans' interests for tbe recent licensing legislation. He condemned the appalling growth of national expenditure, which, he declared was 50 per cent, higher than in 1895, though none of it was applied to old age pensions. Home Rule had not been discarded, and the Liberals were only awaiting a favorable opportunity. The Liberals were always on the side of the public interests. He declared there was no difference between Liberalism and Labour. The Daily Telegraph characterises the speech as a deliberate attempt to stir up the ''have nots" against the " haves."-
