BRITISH POLITICS.
NEEDED SOCIAL REFORMS. Received October 24, 7.48 a.m. LONDON, October 23. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, in the course of his speech at Dunfermline, emphasising the social reforms clamouring for solution, said that drunkenness, depopulation, bad housing, infant mortality, and ignorance —all subjects demanding sterner methods of treatment than the Unionists were willing to employ—these formed the subject of bills which were prevented from becoming Acts, including the Education, Land Values (Scotland), and the Scottish Small Holders Bills. "A BATTERING RAM." Received October 24, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, October 24. Lord Rose"bery, speaking at Glasgow, said that if, as intimated in the highest quarters, the Government's Scotch Small Land Holders' Bill would be reintroduced in an unimproved form, it could only be meant as a battering ram, because it could not be expected that the House of Lords, without reasons being shown, would recant their deliberate opinion on the principle of the bill.
