TIIE HON. E. ASHLEY. ILP., AT POOLE.
on Friday night • mooting was held at the Temperance
Hall for the purpose of hearing an address by the Hon.
Evelyn Ashley, M.P. for the borough. Among those who

member that they need not lie manned of one, well-known
in the county of Doreet, and one of whom he (the Chair-
man) was prowl.
The lion. FAULTS ASIILZT. MY., was warmly greeted.
Ile said: The last mesion of Parliament has been
exceseively dull, except just towards the end. We are in
what we may le called a beef-tea ',Vitae. Since 1874,
when the election took place, the Conservative doctors
have pronounced us to he invalids and have ordered us to
be foil on "pap" and beef-to•—(laughter). That prat
physician, Dr. Disraeli. is a first-rate man to administer
them, he does it so pleasantly that you forget how taste-
less it is until you come to digest it, and then you tied
there is nothing In it —(applaure). The apathy in the last
onion of Parliament was very great indeed, but be did
not mean for • tuinute to say that there was not some
good work done. For inetance there was the Artisans'
Dwellings Bill. He maintained that was an excellent
Act of Parliament, and would have • very great and
beneficial effect—(hear, hora.)—and he took credit to him-
self for having improved the Bill. The Agricultural
Holdings Act recognised the principle that a tenant had
right to what he puts into the soil. Beyond that Yeel
little of a practical kind was contained in it. A very
great measure was introduced for the alteration of the
Labour Laws, but he must take credit for the Liberal
party that they were instrumental in causing every trace
of impritionment for breach of contract to be wiped out
of the Bill. It was left, though not in so bad a feria as it
was before, but in • distinct form, until the amendment
was PIOVINI on our side of the House and backed uP by
the Liberals, that imprisonment should be wiped outi
that there nhould be one law both for rich and poor, and
that the pour nein should not be sent to prison while the
rich meat only had his Foods taken away —(bmar, hear). Oa
the subject of education be said :—I do not think the
Conservative party has eatiefectorily fulfilled its duties on
the subject of education. We make a demand, and shall
continue to make it, that all over the land there shall be
compulsion. It has been proved under the existgi
statistics—l am not going to trouble you with figures,
I will only give you • few, which I think are conclusive—
that, while millions of pounds have been spent in {Novi&
log schoolrooms, in the present state of the populatioa.
there ought to he three million children attending de'
mentary schools, hut of these only 1.678,000 are found to
attend, so that the parents of about 1,140,000 children will
not send them to school until they are told that the Stets
insists on their doing so. If we spend so much money is
empty fabrics, shall we hesitate, like • man who feels he
is dirty. an.l yet shrinks to got into his bath. If we really
believe in education as • benefit to the community and te
the individual, we shall not hesitate longer, but take the
plunge. The (Jevernment feel it—the Conservative per.t/
feel that they cannot hesitate much longer. lam Wei
however, that., during the next session 'some new.fang
scheme will be introduced, by which every perste 0,12

The hon. member proceeded to denounce the Admiralty
