THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF PARLIAMENT.

THE LIBERALS AND THE

COLONIES

(Received May 16, 12.9 a.m.)

LONDON, May 15

Mr Churchill, speaking at West Hartlepool, .said that Parliament exhibited three remarkable characteristics, viz.: its willingness to accept Sir Henry Caniphell-Banncrnian's guidance, the Opposition's lamentable weakness, and the Labour Party's strength and influence, which greatly increased the House's wisdom, earnestness, and dignity. Jt was a mischievous falsehood to imply that the Liberals desired to impair the principle of colonial self-government. Ho applauded Lord Selborne for.his loyalty, arid hoped that a rich reward would attend his labours.
