LONDON, April 1(5. The Spectator (Unionist <aud freetrade) decl'ires that, from the standpoint of tactics, it is compelled to take off its hat to -Mr John Redmond. "It is no small achievement to have lassoed the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, to have bitted and bridled him, jumped on his back, and ridden him, quite tame, round the Parliamentary arena."

The, I'Veeman's Journal claims that Mr Redmond has won all along the line, and has not merely preserved unbroken, but lias strengthened and cemented, the league of democratic forces now preparing for a fight to a finish inth their hereditary foes.

Mr A. Bonar Tinw, Unionist member for Dulwich, speaking at Birmingham, said Mr Asquibh was an i.bedient slave who liad licked the hand which had scourged him.
