PRESS COMMENT ON THE POLLS.
The "-Financial News" says that there are two outstanding features in Saturday's polls. One, the more prominent, is Lancashire's recoil from non-representative government, and the other is the overshadowing of Mr Redmond's hopes and Mr Asquith's and Mr Churchill's ideal of an irresponsible Cabinet. "Tho Junto," adds tho "Financial News," "is too strong even for Lancashire's strong Liberal stomach."
The "Pall Mall Gazette" considers that the outer portions of the Empire are able to judge in juster proportion than those in tho thick of the conflict. Therefore, it is not surprised at Australia welcoming tho referendum as a long stride towards democratic government. It agrees with the statement of Mr Nesbitt, a Canadian oxjudge, that if the Dominions find that the Empire is to bo administered by the dictates of political passion, they will take some thought as to their own future, politically and materially. Tho Dominions are not ready to make obeisance to "President Keir Hardic."
