BRITISH POLITICS.
’ London. Jan. 11. The King will open Parliament oa February 6th. The Right Hon. John Burns. President of the Local Government Board, speaking at Battersea, said it was idle, childish, and almost cowardly for the Opposition to say that the Government’s majority was not big enough. If 18 per cent, was a good dividend in trade, an IS per cent, majority in the House of Commons was equally good business. The last elections' had destroyed the Lords’ veto. The pretensions of the tariff re- ‘ formers had been dealt a serious blow. They were the greatest rebuff to a vulgar, lying, and sensational press. Mr. Harcourt has recovered ami resumed attendance at the Colonial Office. Captain Donelan’s return for * East Cork has been petitioned against on the grounds of intimidation and corrupt practices.
