DEMOCRATIC IDEAS.
QUINQUENNIAL PARLIAMENTS. A SCHEME OF REFORM' PROPOSED. Received December 13, 7.50 a.m. LONDON, December 12. The Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressing the Eighty Club, favoured quinquennial parliaments, or possibly shorter ones. He said that as democratic ideas advanced, a well-consti-tuted, wisely-led second chamber might-be a real advantage in the matter of revising work improvidently and precipitately performed. The Government intended sooner or later taking the opinion of Parliament and the nation upon a scheme of reform which the Prime Minister, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, had adumbrated.
