BRITISH POLITICS.

Press Association—Copyright. London, Foiiruary 4, Earl Crowe, speaking at Stoke, foreshadowed the Government's scheme for the reform of the House of Lords and to redress the balance now operating unfairly in one direction. lie contended that the only solution of the education question was a Government Bill, not necessarily verbally the same as previously, but on the same lines. He also ironically remarked that though Mr Labour retained his opinions on many subjects, including women's suffrage and Catholic education in Ireland, he had never done anything to promote these movements’ when able to do so. From that standpoint Mr Balfour’s retaining his opinions on tariff reform was encouraging to free traders.
