POLITICAL NOTES.

WORK OF THE SESSION. THE PRIME MINISTER. Interviewed at Oliristcliuroli, yesterday the Prime Minister predicted that "at the end of the session the Government programme will be found to be a very full one, and a practical' one. Personally, lam a believer in results, and to judge of the work of the present session every fair-minded person will agree with me in saying that the only way to estimate it is to wait until the work of Parliament has been completed. Progress during the early portion of the session was from time to time slow, due to causps to which it is not necessary for me to refer; but the most important policy Bills will be on the Statute Book before the end of the session, and I and my colleagues are quite content to be judged by the general result, quite irrespective of any piecemeal criticisms —largely from a party standpoint—that may be directed against <Ayr administration before the session's work is finally completed." -Mr JAMES ALLEN. In conversation with) ffl ■*• Herald " reporter yesterday, Mr. James Allen, M.P., said it was nonsense to say that practically no business had been done this session. Quite a lot of important business had been got through, and a good deal more was on the point of completion. i iimiji m tog.r»—n^'
